After a brief goodbye to his sister [[Dana Tinker|Dana]] he moves out on the [[DropShip]] ''[[St. Michael (Individual DropShip)|St. Michael]]'' under sealed orders. It turns out he was promoted to Deputy Division Commander under Precentor Marx's [[33rd Division (Word of Blake)|33rd Division]] and ordered to [[Robinson]]. En route, he gets to know some young recruits sent to Robinson as replacements for the 33rd. They regard him as a hero, and Raul, who had not bothered following the news reports on his exploits on Muskegon, finds that the official reports diverge from his own experiences. He is also worried to see they are mindless fanatics blindly following orders to the letter and unable to think on their own in combat, and tries to teach them some combat experience on simulators during the trip.

On Robinson, Raul finds the 33rd Division in a less than optimal shape. [[Demi-Precentor]] Joel Wordsturm, with whom Raul gets along particularly well, openly admits the unit was almost crushed when taking the world, and largely exists on paper. Although they have sufficient equipment and supplies, they lack experienced officers and veteran soldiers; Raul is also unsure of Precentor [[Klaus Marx]]'s leadership abilities. The [[Federated Suns]] are expected to launch an attempt at recapturing Robinson shortly, and Raul figures Marx's defensive plans are too timid and conservative.

When the Federated Suns' [[Robinson Rangers]] together with elements of [[ComStar]] attack the Word of Blake on Robinson in early [[3072]] they roll over the defenders. Raul includes himself on the left flank and assumes command over a small unit that happens to include the recruits he met on the DropShip. They give a good accounting of themselves despite being vastly outnumbered. Leading from the front, Raul witnesses Wordsturm being killed when his ''[[Grand Crusader]]'' is downed by concentrated enemy fire.
