Line 29: ==Plot summary== ==Plot summary== − At Fort Nitobe on [[Kiesen]], ''[[Chu-i]]'' Tomosuki Okudara is assigned an old, decrepit ''[[BattleMaster]]'' to pilot. On 12 March [[3062]] he inspects the 'Mech and meets the wizened tech, Senior Technician Kume. Offering him Black Pearl sake, Okudara befriends Kume and inquires about the 'Mech. Kume tells him that it seems to be cursed with bad luck, with at least three pilots killed in training accidents; the Avengers (presumably referring to the [[Alshain Avengers]]) simply left it behind when it quit moving and this is how it ended up with the [[Twelfth Dieron Regulars]]. Kume himself is something of an outcast with three years to retirement, but he refused to go early and was thus assigned to the unwanted 'Mech. + At Fort Nitobe on [[Kiesen]], ''[[Chu-i]]'' Tomosuki Okudara is assigned an old, decreipt ''[[BattleMaster]]'' to pilot.
