==Plot summary==
Six warriors are brought to [[Trondheim (FRR)|Trondheim]] in October [[3057]] for a modified version of [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s [[Clawing Ritual]]: After a [[JumpShip]] suffered a drive failure in the system seven months earlier, it deployed its [[DropShip]]s and one of them crashed on the planet. It had carried several [[Ghost Bear (species)|ghost bears]] for the Tseng-Jorgensson Natural Preserve on [[Alshain]], and at least one specimen survived the crash and began hunting for prey in the Chugach mountain range. Initial reports were dismissed, until two herdsmen were killed. The Clan withheld this information from the general public, fearing a public outcry among the recently subjugated population. Now the six highest-ranking warriors from the [[cluster]]s nearest to Trondheim were assembled for an impromptu Clawing ritual, a hunting party to dispose of the predator before it can cause more damage. The Trondheim government has insisted on sending one of their rangers—a man named [[Amak Joki]]—along.

The Clan warriors resent being forced to accept a local guide, but give in to his reasoning that only he speaks the local language and knows the mountains well enough to find the beast. During the hunt, Joki and the warriors argue over the Clan invasion, and Joki is very straightforward that he only helps them to prevent the ghost bear from killing more people and thus ignite the powder keg that is Trondheim—if he felt an uprising had any chance of success he openly admits he would rather fight the Clan oppressors.
