Back on Capra, Lucas Hammilton tries to find a middle ground to work with both his yakuza contacts and the Sandovals. His contact person with House Sandoval, Hellena Sartras, provides evidence that bank records were expertly forged to indicate House Sandoval paid the Silent Reapers for the Capra mission from one of their accounts; the bank statements for the real account do not list the transaction. However, tracing the money flows back leads nowhere. For a lack of other options they infiltrate the HPG compound. Just as Hammilton reports to Hasiguche, the yakuza leader, that they had found none other than the Word of Blake to be behind the account transactions, the yakuza hideout is overrun. The Silent Reapers' former liaison officer for the attack on the HPG and the capture of the Precentor is leading the attack that decimates the yakuza. Falsely believing Lucas dead, she briefly ignores him which allows him to shoot her. In the aftermath, Lucas is briefly held captive by yakuza bouncer Yuuri and determines he must have been in league with the attackers. A House Sandoval team under Sartras rescues Lucas from captivity, and together they track Yuuri to the secret Word of Blake base. On 1 December they assault and seize the base. Five days later, they openly approach the new ComStar Precentor with proof of the Silent Reapers' innocence and Word of Blake duplicity.

On 6 December, news break of the Word of Blake's supposed nuclear attack against [[Tharkad]]. This, combined with the realization that the Lakegaard data is a bioweapon, finally convinces the Silent Reapers to break contract with the Word of Blake and refuse handing over the data. (Brantling had however secretly done this already under pressure, but included a script to hopefully report the location where the file was opened, and then self-delete the data.) When Anori finds out that Brantling had acted suspiciously, she mistakes him for the traitor who also killed her father, and proceeds to beat him and lock him up without telling anyone. When Brantling comes to, the base is being evacuated and under attack by a superior force of 'Mechs and vehicles. He manages to convince Anori of the true traitor's identity.

Three days later, the Silent Reapers have fled to the Kuegrat Mountains with losses, but also have managed to capture one [[Lyran Alliance|Lyran]] [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] alive and have received an HPG message from Lucas Hammilton explaining what he found out on Capra. Anori is at a loss why the Word of Blake would go to such lengths to coerce the Silent Reapers when they could have straight up hired them. They are continuously hunted and harried by both Lyran and Word of Blake forces. However, as it turns out the Word of Blake have ironically convinced the Lyran government on Laurieston that the mercenaries are on-planet to deploy a bioweapon, and offered their own troops to the Lyrans as support in hunting them down. Peter Brantling meanwhile meets with his aunt who happens to be a ComStar member with ROM, and the newly installed Precentor on Laurieston. He briefs her fully on all that has happened, and through ComStar they even manage to locate his mother (her sister) who is held as a hostage on [[Menkalinan]]. She is however killed in a failed rescue attempt.
