Later in 3067 Vic Travers accepted what he considered a fitting last contract for his tenure as the Bounty Hunter: he was hired by [[George Hasek (31st c.)|George Hasek]] to capture [[Kai Allard-Liao]] alive. Recognizing he would need some form of leverage in order to force the Duke of [[St. Ives]] to expose himself to capture, the Bounty Hunter learned that a [[Fernando Calvin]] was a childhood friend of Kai's young daughter [[Melissa Allard-Liao]], and that Fernando's father [[Hector Calvin]] was the commander of the [[Calvin's Cuirassiers]] mercenary unit garrisoning the Federated Suns world of [[Perkasie]]. On 11 January [[3068]], while his associates drew out the local defenders with a strike against Water Purification Plant 51, smashing the mercenary combined-arms unit [[Lowdon's LongToms]] defending it, the Bounty Hunter ambushed and defeated the Cuirassiers single-handed to capture Hector and learn the location of his son.<ref name=BDTBH-3>''BattleTech Dossiers: The Bounty Hunter'', p. 3: "Indirect Acquisition"</ref><ref name=BDTBH-11>''BattleTech Dossiers: The Bounty Hunter'', p. 11: "Missions - Don't Make it Personal"</ref><ref name=BDTBH-12>''BattleTech Dossiers: The Bounty Hunter'', p. 12: "Missions - I Have A Question"</ref> Information supplied by Fernando allowed the Bounty Hunter's team to pinpoint Melissa Allard-Liao's safe house in Tian-tan on St. Ives, the teenage girl attending a normal school under a false identity.
