Line 14: ==Plot summary== ==Plot summary== − Following an overwhelming attack by [[Word of Blake]] forces on [[Fletcher]] that caught the defenders off-guard and scattered or crushed them, [[Adept]] [[Nicole Shelby]] finds herself the ranking officer in a ragtag group of survivors from the [[11th Division (ComStar)]] as of 22 November [[3067]]. Learning to command on the fly she leads her mixed unit, just under a [[Level II]] in strength, towards the city of Royce in hopes of sneaking aboard a [[DropShip]] there—the ''[[Stonehenge]]'', a ''[[Mule]]''-class civilian freighter that arrived just before the attack and was overlooked by the attackers as it is a (civilian) [[ComStar]], and not a (military) [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] vessel. Shelby quickly establishes a good rapport with NCO veterans in her unit, and sends Acolyte Alex Slocum ahead into the city to scout. En route, the scouts warn Shelby's unit of an approaching Word of Blake scout force in [[BattleMech]]s. Under Shelby's improving leadership the scout force is vanquished, but back in Royce Word of Blake commander [[Precentor]] [[Kevin Dollar]] divines from the skirmish that a small ComStar force is approaching the city, which in turn prompts him to investigate the starport again and find the ''Stonehenge'', which is subsequently destroyed in full view of the scouts. + Following an overwhelming attack by [[Word of Blake]] forces on [[Fletcher]] that caught the defenders off-guard and scattered or crushed them, [[Adept]] [[Nicole Shelby]] finds herself the ranking officer in a ragtag group of survivors from the [[11th Division (ComStar)]] as of 22 November [[3067]].
