Line 43: Governor General Roger DeVries, a former free trader whom Carlyle had installed as head of government on Glengarry specifically because he as an outsider would be above the politicking among the planet's minor nobility, has since developed a genuine care for the planet. He considers a defense against von Bulow's powerful force hopeless and does not want to see Glengarry's infrastructure damaged by pointless fighting. Consequently, he first stalls for time and eventually has the on-planet senior officers detained after negotiating a deal with von Bulow. However, DeVries' daughter [[Caitlin DeVries|Caitlin]] is also a cadet with the Gray Death Legion. She happens to find out what he is doing and manages to send the other cadets a warning. This allows senior tech Major Alard King and the cadets to stage a rescue in their [[BattleMech]]s, free the prisoners and reassert control over their base. Major de Villar and one of his sons die in the fighting; DeVries escapes in a VTOL.
