In a desperate race against time as [[BattleMech]]s and tanks are already on the move towards the capital, Vole tries to find out who is on which side and gather allies while he is at the same time on the run from Intelligence Ministry elements who have sided with the rebels. He meets the mystery woman twice again, first when she commands him to cease his meddling and forget that they ever met before, and again when she bails him out of rebel detainment. She is obviously working for the rebel faction but covertly supporting the Prime Minister.

Together with other loyalists (and expertly manipulating neutral parties) Vole ultimately engineers the resignation of Commander of the Army [[Kurt Gimmer]] and convincing or coercing the then eligible voters to install Commander of the Infantry [[Ty Blank]], a supporter of [[Victor Steiner-Davion]], as Gimmer's successor, eroding away Cauthon's power base in the military. As a result, the coup stalls without a shot being fired.

During the debriefing by Prime Minister Verrily Vole has to admit that he still does not know who the mystery woman is or why she alerted him to the developing situation. Only later does he briefly see her again when she and newly appointed Commander of the Army Blank kiss. Somewhat amused, Vole realizes that he was manipulated in much the same way as he had been manipulating people throughout the crisis; he finds that he can live with the results this time.
