Hawker's request was rebuffed by Showers, who subsequently limited the attacks to only the four primary invading Clans, although Showers did condescendingly offer a spot to Hawker in a [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] raid during the first wave of REVIVAL - an offer Hawker rejected. The exchange of insults between Hawker and Showers went a long way towards reviving the traditional loathing between the Diamond Sharks and Smoke Jaguars and would subsequently prompt a number of damaging battles between the two Clans.<ref name="ICp138">''Invading Clans'', p. 138: "Periphery Action"</ref> In August [[3049]], Clan Wolf's [[Silver Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Silver Keshik]] of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Beta Galaxy]] attacked Blackstone.
