Plot summary

On Alyina, Syndic Marena, leader of the Alyina Mercantile League, receives a report of a pirate raid. Her military commander, Star Captain Margolian, points out that he simply lacks the forces to adequately defend the city, much less the planet. On Galatea, Katie Ferraro talks with his unit, which is now part of the bigger mercenary group Lone Wolves. The same day, on Alyina, Marena holds a meeting of the AML leaders. After debating how to face the military issue, she orders a search for mercenary units they can hire to protect the League. Two days later the Wolves arrive in the system and their spokesman, Albert Heidegger, meets Marena. Both discuss the Wolves' contract, and after bargaining over the unit's payment both agree on terms, contracting the Wolves. Seven days later, the Lone Wolves are already deployed and have to face another pirate raid against the planet's Mech factories. The Foxes face the pirates, much better equipped, and force them to retreat but at a heavy cost: one of their mechs, Evan's, was downed in the fight.
