Following the massacre, Jerome went into hiding while [[AsRoc]] kill squads and local collaborators hunted unsuccessfully. His skill in evading sweeps earned him the nickname "ghost padre," a nickname Jerome detests. He has what he feels is an undeserved reputation as a "hero of the resistance," saying that he "made a few speeches" while others died.

Manila still bears the scars of street-by-street fighting between [[Rim Worlds Republic|Republican]] and SLDF forces, though SLDF combat engineers have been working to restore the infrastructure. Fort Santiago, a former tourist trap, has become the [[Star League]]'s administrative headquarters for the region. Violence is still threatened by Amaris commandos, Rim Worlds diehards left behind, and Huk guerrillas who assisted the SLDF, but have refused to disarm.

Jerome goes to the fort as an observer for Catholic relief agencies. Detainees (Republicans and local collaborators) and their families will be traveling by bus from the old stone fort to a more secure compound at San Fernando, out in the countryside. Jerome is worried that the Huk guerrillas may try to take revenge on the detainees as they travel through the Pampanga region, rather than waiting for due process.

He speaks with Emily Wuerzel, a press photographer who was stranded in Manila ''en route'' to the China front, then meets with the fort's commandant, Captain Jules Marchand. The SLDF officer tells Jerome that he expects the Huks to attempt to intercept the lightly guarded convoy, but that with little weaponry on-hand (everything combat-worthy was sent to the still-active fronts in China) and with the Huks in possession of significant anti-armor arsenals looted from overrun Republican armories, he will have to rely on diplomacy, rather than firepower.
