==Plot Summary==
A faulty cargo cable breaks when Gennady Lukin's cargo zeppelin is to deliver a eighteen-ton marble angel sculpture to a cathedral. As the statue is falling, Jessica Porter jumps to intercept it with her forty-ton [[ConstructionMech]] and the momentum of the impact prevents the shards from the shattering statue from injuring the onlookers.

A faulty cargo cable breaks when Gennady Lukin's cargo zeppelin is to deliver a eighteen-ton marble angel sculpture to a cathedral. As the statue is falling, Jessica Porter jumps to intercept it with her fourty-ton [[ConstructionMech]] and the momentum of the impact prevents the shards from the shattering statue from injuring the onlookers.  
  
 
Shortly afterwards, enemy [[DropShip]]s land and Breed comes under attack from the [[Draconis Combine]], and the defending [[Second Robinson Rangers]] are pushed back. In a bar, the construction workers discuss the fighting. When one man curses the Combine for attacking, Lukin points out that it was [[Hanse Davion]] who started the war. He accepts a hit from a drunken patron before withdrawing although he could easily have avoided the blow or downed his assailant, then withdraws with the remark that he will pray for the assembled people. Confronted by Porter he tells her that he retired from the AFFS because he could not bring himself to kill anymore and declares that he owes Porter a debt for the lives she saved.
