Line 24: Unfortunately, Nicholas Kerensky's confidence in Payne would prove over-optimistic. Payne's very youth and energy caused friction with the Mandrill's senior Khan, [[Raymond Sainze]], and the two were at odds from the outset of [[Operation KLONDIKE]]. Before commencing combat operations on [[Dagda (Clan System)|Dagda's]] Salò continent, Sainze challenged Payne for the right to land first. This pattern continued as the two Khans dangerously underbid each other for the honor of leading each engagement; only the poor equipment of their more numerous and determined opponents prevented the Mandrills from losing the campaign outright. The final operation on Salò epitomised this sorry state of affairs: what should have been a simple and easy search-and-destroy operation in the Night Labyrinth instead dragged out for months as the two Khans bid away crucial assets which would have ensured swift victory.<ref>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 83, "Bloody Salò"</ref> Unfortunately, Nicholas Kerensky's confidence in Payne would prove over-optimistic.
