− On 15 August [[3017]] [[Gray Noton]]—already dubbed the "Legend-Killer" for his meteoric rise to champion in the [[Solaris Games]]—is fighting an arena match against a ''[[Victor]]'' from the [[Fitzhugh Stables]] in the [[Steiner Coliseum]] on [[Solaris VII]]. Piloting a ''[[Rifleman]]'', the story narrates his train of thought as he correctly guesses the next move his opponent (one [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] Hoftsteder) will make. With his expert aim he critically damages the other 'Mech's leg to the point where the ''Victor'' crashes to the ground upon touching down after a jump. This effectively decides the match in Noton's favor. As he savors the crowd's cheers, Noton ponders his "other ''Rifleman''" that, once ready, will allow him to "own this world and topple every other MechWarrior from their [[Valhalla (place)|Valhalla thrones]]." + On 15 August [[3017]] [[Gray Noton]]—already dubbed the "Legend-Killer" for his meteoric rise to champion in the [[Solaris Games]]—is fighting an arena match against a ''[[Victor]]'' from the [[Fitzhugh Stables]] in the [[Steiner Coliseum]] on [[Solaris VII]].
