Plot summary
Jessie, a little girl living near the city of Vorhaven on Kathil, likes to impersonate the Immortal Warrior in a game of pretend. Roughly a month after Halloween 3062, during the FedCom Civil War, real enemy BattleMechs appear at the family estate. Jessie, not comprehending the real danger, "rescues" her brother Billy from an outlying tree, next to which an enemy 'Mech has taken up position. Luckily, the 'Mech at the tree does not shoot at the children as they run back to the house and another one that does shoot misses them. In the underground storm shelter, Jessie pulls herself to attention and reports to her grandfather, "Mission accomplished, sir."
