===Framework story===
As of 7 April 3054, [[Tomans]] is being defended against a [[Clan Jade Falcon]] incursion for a month already. The defenders are very exhausted, but the Clan attackers barely show any signs of tiring. During night watch, a disparate group of defending MechWarriors (sporting uniforms from the [[Outworlds Alliance]], [[Draconis Combine]], and [[Com Guards]], among others) discuss how a month of exceedingly bloody fighting has barely kept the Clan Warriors at bay. A chance encounter by Lhiannon Potter and Jason Boise of the mercenary unit Phoenix with Com Guard MechWarrior Ray Allison, an old acquaintance, prompts them to recount a story of their unit (then known as the "Mad Jumpin Jacks") from twenty-one years ago when they defended Amity against a Lyran attack (Part 1).

Later that night, the assembled defenders are informed that first company was vanquished in an attempt to storm a Jade Falcon bridgehead. The failed attack did however provide data on where the Jade Falcons will strike next. A group including Potter and Boise volunteer for an interception mission and move out to an ambush site in their 'Mechs. Once arrived, they have to wait until sunrise for the expected enemy force to move through, and use this opportunity to continue the story from earlier (Part 2).
