Line 31: Captive DCMS MechWarrior Toku Hisagawa debates his guard, Ryerson, as to which side has the moral high ground as both fight to hold the Terran Hegemony world. Ryerson takes the position that the Federated Suns is "spreading freedom throughout the Inner Sphere". Their debate is interrupted as explosions rock the POW transport vehicle. Following a massive explosion, Hisagawa finds himself outside, being dragged through a battle by Ryerson. All around them, the Federated Suns base-camp is being overrun by DCMS forces, and a gaggle of support vehicles is taking flight. Ryerson refuses to let Hisagawa go, planning to ensure his own safety by holding the DCMS trooper hostage. Hisagawa enlightens him as to the [[Dictum Honorium]] guidelines for such situations, which mostly start with "If" and end with "kill them". The debate resumes, with Ryerson saying that AFFS respect for life means they're morally superior. Hisagawa responds that it just shows weakness.
