The Ninth was ordered to attack [[Chandrasekhar Kurita]]'s [[Hachiman Taro Electronics]] compound in response to [[ISF]] reports that [[Camacho's Caballeros]] had mutinied in a pay dispute and were holding Kurita hostage. By the time these reports were disproven - in fact, the ISF had been falsely convinced by one of Kurita's business rivals that he was a traitor to the Combine - the fighting had lasted most of the day; despite inflicting heavy losses on the Caballeros (and taking heavy damage in return), the Ninth Ghost had been unable to breach the HTE compound by the time the ceasefire order was issued.<ref>''Close Quarters'', pp. 304–384</ref>
