The stories tie into the novel ''[[Wolves on the Border]]'' in what amounts to an additional chapter, taking a closer look at the events that led up to the death of [[Jerry Akuma]].

==Plot summary==
Having gained the initiative over the [[Ryuken-ichi]] regiment in the fighting in the city of Cerant on An Ting, [[Wolf's Dragoons]] have begun their final attack to push the enemy forces off-planet. A small ad hoc force of fast units under Captain [[Dechan Fraser]] spearheads the advance behind enemy lines in hopes of delivering a decapitation blow against the enemy HQ before they can evacuate. Their advance grinds to a halt just short of their objective, however, and Dragoon [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] [[Thomas West]] finds a cunning enemy in a lowly fifteen-ton SecurityMech to be their most dangerous opponent on the urban battlefield. Although his own [['Mech]] is disabled, West recalls his secret [[Clan]] heritage in the end instead of admitting defeat and calls down indirect [[LRM]] fire on his opponent, destroying him.

Ultimately, three Dragoon 'Mechs (at least) are disabled or destroyed while buying an opportunity for Fraser's damaged ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' to punch through and proceed towards Government House on Central Square (leading directly to his assault on [[Jerry Akuma]] as described in the novel).
