It deals with [[Clan_Jade_Falcon#The_Culling|an event]] from early [[Clan Jade Falcon]] history, explaining why [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|this Clan's ''touman'']], unlike other Clans, has no [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha]] or [[Beta Provisional Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Beta Galaxy]], and what happened to a number of Jade Falcon [[Bloodname|Bloodnames]] that were discontinued. ==Teaser text== {{quote|''In the wake of [[Operation KLONDIKE]], Clan Jade Falcon must survive a test of loyalty or be torn apart.''}} ==Plot summary== On May 26, [[2822]], following the successful conclusion of [[Operation KLONDIKE]], [[Adam Calbot]] and the rest of Clan Jade Falcon have assembled with the other Clans outside the final rebel stronghold, the [[Black Brian]] of [[Dagda (Clan System)|Dagda]]. To the dismay of Calbot and his fellow Jade Falcons, [[ilKhan]] [[Nicholas Kerensky]] announces that he will join his heritage with [[Clan Wolf]]. By July 4, on [[Eden]], unrest has been growing within Clan Jade Falcon's warriors, with many questioning the ilKhan and the very purpose of the Clans. While Calbot shares their anger towards Kerensky, his loyalty to his Clan remains stronger. When a technician brings word that Calbot's fellow [[Star Colonel]] [[Mathieu Jae-Hyouk]] is holding a secret meeting with other disgruntled warriors intent on leaving the Clans, Calbot heads to their base. There he witnesses an assembly of mutinous [[Beta Provisional Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Beta Provisional Galaxy's]] warriors, with a few from his own [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha Provisional Galaxy]]. Jae-Hyouk gives a speech advocating outright secession and exile, which receives acclamation from the crowd. Calbot races back to his headquarters and survives an assassination attempt by [[Star Captain]] [[Geoffrey Ustone]] before notifying Khans [[Elizabeth Hazen]] and [[Lisa Buhallin]]. Ordered to put down the rebellion immediately, Calbot mobilizes his loyal warriors and orders them to take position at Yakut Spaceport. Privately contacting Jae-Hyouk, Calbot unsuccessfully tries to persuade his old friend to abort his revolt. As the rebels attempt to storm the spaceport and seize the [[DropShip|DropShips]], the loyalists begin a merciless battle with them. Calbot and Jae-Hyouk square off, with Calbot bringing down Jae-Hyouk's 'Mech and then persuading the remaining rebels to surrender. Four days later, Khan Hazen reviews the assembled captives. She upbraids Jae-Hyouk for drawing the ilKhan's unfavorable attention to the Clan, and announces that the [[Bloodhouse|Bloodhouses]] of [[Jae-Hyouk (Bloodname)|Jae-Hyouk]], [[Yont (Bloodname)|Yont]] and [[Ustone (Bloodname)|Ustone]] will be permanently reduced for their members' role in the rebellion. Hazen then executes Jae-Hyouk and the other ringleaders with her ''katana'', and exiles the remaining rebels to marginal postings. Shortly after, ilKhan Kerensky and his wife [[Jennifer Winson]] conduct a tour of Clan Jade Falcon's holdings. While they are complimentary and say nothing of the rebellion, Kerensky and Winson's ambiguous phrasing leave Hazen and Calbot convinced that they know about the Clan's internal troubles. Following their departure from Eden, Hazen informs Calbot that she will disband his [[Galaxy]] as well as Jae-Hyouk's, since several of his own warriors joined the rebels. However, Calbot will instead be placed in charge of a new unit reporting directly to the Khans, the [[Jade Falcon Guards (Clan Jade Falcon)|Jade Falcon Guards]]. Hazen then reveals that ilKhan Kerensky seems to be seeking a scapegoat, which but for Calbot's actions would have been Clan Jade Falcon. To save the Clan in the future, she has regrettably ordered saKhan Buhallin to stir up strife on [[Circe]] with the already-contentious [[Clan Wolverine]] - giving the ilKhan a new focus for his ire. Calbot wonders aloud how this is different from the actions of Jae-Hyouk's rebels, to which Hazen can only say that it is survival of the fittest. == Featured characters == * [[Lisa Buhallin]] * [[Adam Calbot]] * [[Elizabeth Hazen]] * [[Carl Icaza]] * [[Mathieu Jae-Hyouk]] * [[Nicholas Kerensky]] * [[Karen Nagasawa]] * [[Geoffrey Ustone]] * [[Jennifer Winson]] * [[Isabelle Yont]] ==Featured places== * [[Circe]] (mentioned) * [[Dagda (Clan System)|Dagda]] * [[Eden]] * [[Strana Mechty]] (mentioned) ==Featured BattleTech== ===BattleMechs=== * ''[[Archer]]'' * ''[[Black Knight]]'' * ''[[Champion]]'' * ''[[Crab]]'' * ''[[Flea]]'' * ''[[Guillotine]]'' * ''[[Highlander]]'' * ''[[King Crab]]'' * ''[[Lancelot]]'' * ''[[Locust]]'' * ''[[Marauder]]'' * ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' * ''[[Sling]]'' * ''[[Stinger]]'' * ''[[Thunderbolt]]'' [[Category:BattleCorps publications]] [[Category:Short Stories]] [[Category:Works by Alan Brundage]]
