Line 184: Benfico recognizes the green ''Grasshopper''. He had been its chief mechanic once. A faulty hydraulics seal in its left leg that Benfico had overlooked had malfunctioned in an unspecified battle situation, causing the ''Grasshopper'' to go down hard and thus causing a setback in the fighting that resulted in more losses and deaths. Benfico had subsequently been cashiered from service. Benfico recognizes the green ''Grasshopper''. He had been its chief mechanic once.

It is a race against time as the ''Grasshopper'' slowly slides further down into the sinkhole. Benfico climbs the 'Mech and opens the cockpit hatch with an old override code while Popov, using the onboard speakers on Okeke's camera drones, directs him to give medical aid to the pilot, a young woman. She regains consciousness, quickly explaining she is fighting both sides because she wants the war off her homeworld, and jumps the 'Mech to safety. Benfico is overjoyed, feeling redeemed for his fatal mistake years earlier. Seconds later, however, he is killed by a stray laser when another 'Mech fires on the ''Grasshopper''. + Benfico, together with [[Dimitri Popov]] from [[Doctors Under Fire]] and war correspondent [[Anaya Okeke]] move in to help the stricken 'Mech, each for their own reasons.
