Line 147: ==Plot summary== ==Plot summary== − [[Allegra Greene]], two years from graduating from cadet training, begins attending a new school, the [[Nellus Academy]] on [[Nestor]]. Her father, war hero [[Colonel]] [[Seamus Greene]], has moved to Nestor to command a brand new refueling station. Before normal classes even start, she, along with seven top students, is shunted off to a special group, sequestered for a special job: a media event trip with [[General]] [[Gurald Eichner]] in honor of the new refueling station. The cadets suspect something more is going on, their parents and teachers being unusually tight-lipped. Their investigation secures an initial briefing from Eichner: their role is truly to help catch a [[Lyran Alliance]] spy.+ {{sectionstub}} − − Aboard the DropShip ''[[Requirement]]'', the cadets' role changes. On 24 October [[3067]], right after a jump, hijackers sent to capture General Eichner, the Lyran-hired [[Bloody Stoats]], make their presence known by taking over the DropShip. Their leader, Baron [[Deimos von Schetzle]], pulls Eichner away and leaves the children guarded. The cadets start planning an escape using the Nellus Academy hand signal cant, but their plan breaks down when cadet [[Kirk Nolan]] is pulled out of the group and murdered. Instead, a more spontaneous uprising ensues, and the children take control of the ship, capturing Deimos. However, one surviving hijacker, left alive to help pilot the ''Requirement'', shoots cadet pilot [[George Hawthorne]] instead, and the injured George cannot avoid a crash landing on a nearby planetoid. George dies in the crash. − − The survivors are left burdened with a prisoner and an injured General and left without a clear way to get home. Soon, they realize that they are not alone. Deimos calls the planetoid [[Gienah#Phobos|Phobos]], and says that his mercenaries have a base there, something the cadets confirm. His noteputer indicates that Phobos is to be the launching ground for a Lyran invasion through Nestor. The children start to plan to raid the base and call for help, but again their plans are forced forward: mercenaries arrive at the wreckage, recapture Eichner, and rescue Deimos. On his way out, Deimos murders the unfortunate guard on duty, cadet [[Lily Orit]]. − − The children's raid is forced forward, four of five cadets participating. The remaining cadet, [[Aster Holloway]], is left behind due to injuries from falling from a tree, and is left to create a distraction. As Aster sets off explosions near the DropShip wreckage, the other cadets slip into the base, hijacking communications to get a distress call out and finding General Eichner. Eichner, unable to fit through the only safe route available, sacrifices himself to let the kids escape. − − In the base, the cadets also find a ''[[Commando]]'', Deimos's own. They steal it, giving it to their best MechWarrior, [[Joseph Robson]]. He protects the cadets from ground forces as a League DropShip arrives, and soon enough, almost all the survivors are aboard the ''[[Peregrine (Individual Seeker-class DropShip)|Peregrine]]''. Allegra is slowed by traumatic flashbacks to a years-past attack on her former home of [[Thermopolis]], but is shaken out of them just soon enough to get aboard, leaving only Joseph remaining outside. When the DropShip is marked by [[Target Acquisition Gear]], Joseph sacrifices himself to allow the survivors to escape, blocking the artillery strike with his 'Mech. − − Aboard the DropShip, the survivors are told that they will be given honors, the dead will be recognized, and that they will be given cover stories; the League intends to control what is known about this crisis. Lyran mercenaries killing a League general in a botched kidnapping attempt and League forces entering Lyran space mark an unofficial end to peace - conflict is coming. − − By 27 October, Deimos's father [[Rayner von Schetzle|Rayner]], examining Phobos, holds three League prisoners from the conflict. He orders [[Eric Nagel]] to find out what really happened, and to determine whether Deimos survived. == Featured characters == == Featured characters == − * [[Allegra Greene]] + * [[Allegra Greene]] * [[General]] [[Gurald Eichner]] * [[General]] [[Gurald Eichner]] * [[Colonel]] [[Seamus Greene]] * [[Colonel]] [[Seamus Greene]] − * [[Aster Holloway]] − * [[George Hawthorne]] − * [[Joseph Robson]] − * [[Kirk Nolan]] − * [[Lily Orit]] − * [[Rustin Lake]] − * [[Sigrid Zelenova]] − * [[Torin Szasz]] − * [[Shaun Fitzwilliam]] − * Sergeant Stein − * Kuhn − * Faber − * [[Deimos von Schetzle]] − * Gustoff − * Rohben − * Klaus − * Kristoff − * Evan − * Corporal Tyree − * Private Allard − * [[Eric Nagel]] − * [[Rayner von Schetzle]] − * Doctor Ventley (mentioned) − * Professor Screll (mentioned) − * [[Shannon von Schetzle]] (mentioned) == Featured places == == Featured places == *[[Nestor]] *[[Nestor]] − *[[Gienah]] *[[Concord]] (mentioned) *[[Concord]] (mentioned) − *[[Thermopolis]] (mentioned) + *[[Gienah]] (mentioned) − *[[Bolan]] (mentioned) == Featured units == == Featured units == − * [[Bloody Stoats]] == Featured BattleTech == == Featured BattleTech == − ===BattleMechs===+ *''[[Commando]]'' BattleMech − *''[[Commando]]'' + *''[[Avenger]]''-class DropShip ''[[Requirement]]'' − *''[[Hercules (BattleMech)|Hercules]]'' (mentioned)+ *''[[Seeker]]''-class DropShip ''[[Peregrine (Individual Seeker-class DropShip)|Peregrine]]'' − ===Vehicles===+ *''[[Merchant]]''-class JumpShip ''[[Starchaser]]'' − *[[Saladin]]+ *''[[Monolith]]''-class JumpShip ''[[Linz]]'' − ===Small Craft===+ *''[[Impavido]]''-class WarShip (mentioned) − *''[[Lyonesse]]''+ *''[[Zechetinu]]-class WarShip (mentioned) − *[[Mark VII Landing Craft]] − ===DropShips=== − *''[[Avenger]]'' (''[[Requirement]]'') − *''[[Seeker]]'' (''[[Peregrine (Individual Seeker-class DropShip)|Peregrine]]'') − ===JumpShips=== − *''[[Merchant]]'' (''[[Starchaser]]'') − *''[[Monolith]]'' (''[[Linz]]'') − ===WarShips=== − *''[[Impavido]]'' (mentioned) − *''[[Zechetinu]]'' (mentioned) − ===Personal Equipment=== − *[[TK Assault Rifle]] − − ==Notes== − * Some technologies appear before their known introduction dates.
