Line 37: Porter meets Hugie again six days later. She recalls that he is clearly interested in forming a relationship since meeting her for the interview, and that he managed to mention her in many pieces he has posted since. He reveals that he lost his family as a kid when his hometown on [[Coventry]] became collateral damage during a Jade Falcon attack eleven years ago. He tried to enroll in the military but was rejected because of a hereditary heart condition. Denied his vengeance, he became a writer instead and shifted his perspective to reminding people of possibilities—schmaltzy, banal and predictable by his own admission, but he found it helped. Hugie leaves, noting that although he is ten years younger than she he is "cute" and that when she is ready for a different hope. Porter meets Hugie again six days later.

Forgoing a ''[[batchall]]'', ''[[zellbrigen]]'' or any of the ritualized [[Clan]] restraints on warfare (presumably because they had previously occupied Black Earth for fourteen years before being driven off, and because they hold a special grudge against the Blue Star Irregulars for capturing the [[WarShip]] ''[[Kerensky's Blues]]''), they roll over the defenders within days. Facing defeat, the Blue Star Irregulars prepare to evacuate the world, taking with them civilians including handicapped who would be purged, and very young children who shall have a chance to live free.
