==Plot summary==
[[Warrior House Hiritsu]] forces under [[Raven Clearwater (Warrior House Hiritsu)|Raven Clearwater]] have infiltrated the [[Word of Blake]]-controlled planet [[Fanardir]] in the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] to investigate the situation on the planet on orders of [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] for his fiancée [[Naomi Centrella]], heir apparent to the title of [[Magestrix]] of Canopus. Clearwater reported a possible resistance cell. [[Aris Sung]] and [[Mikhail Chess]] are subsequently sent to Fanardir in a separate mission to make contact with the cell.

However, following a failed insertion attempt on 2 February [[3072]] in which their ''[[Leopard]]''-class [[DropShip]] ''[[Midnight's Call]]'' was detected on approach and ordered down, they find themselves on the run in their ''[[BattleMechs]]''. Both 'Mechs are soon destroyed in the wintry city ruins of Jakarta City. On foot and armed only with his ''[[w:Jian|jian]]'', Aris is then confronted by a [[Manei Domini]] operative who employs a shimmering cloaking device similar to what Aris saw when he rescued [[Isis Marik]] back on [[Hustaing]] twelve years earlier. Introducing herself as [[Precentor]] Delta [[Setiwah]], she proceeds to disarm Aris by cutting off his sword hand with her own (implanted) blade. After making cryptic remarks about him and her having saved [[The Master]]'s progeny she stabs his heart.

Many weeks later Aris awakens in the care of a resistance cell run by one November Talliard, an [[Ebon Magistrate]] operative from the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]]; other prominent leaders are acting General Erzulie March, Colonel Robert Holden, and Force Major Maria Martin. Aris was rescued from some Word of Blake laboratory where he was kept alive with cyberware and the Ebon Magistrate further upgraded his body, including a heart implant and an artificial hand. Mikhail Chess reportedly did not survive the destruction of his ''[[Phoenix Hawk]]''.

==Notes==
 
*The planet [[Fanardir]] is consistently misspelled as "Farandir" in his story. There is no world known by that name in the [[BattleTech]] universe, and it is clear from the context that the story is meant to take place on Fanardir.
