Welles was assigned along his unit to capture the vital spaceport city of Lindon's Folly on Gehenna Isle, on the planet [[Styx]].<ref name=3135PDAJp110>''3135 PDA Journals'', p. 110: "25 October 3135"</ref> Along with one of his lancemates piloting a ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'', he came across two Republic of the Sphere [[Mechs]], a ''[[Wasp]]'' and a ''[[Panther]]'', and though his subordinate in the ''Centurion'' wanted to kill both, Welles did not allow this and instead bowed in a salute, which was returned by the ''Panther'' pilot ([[Charisse Perry]]). He then allowed both of the opposing 'Mechs to leave unharmed.<ref name=3135PDAJournalp101>''3135 PDA Journals'', p. 101: "06 October 3135"</ref>

By the 18th, his forces again pushed the RAF defensive line. A full company of 'Mechs and tanks, plus maybe another company of supporting foot troopers—armored and otherwise—suddenly converged on the RAF positions. This time along a ''[[Cougar]]'', he found the same ''Panther'' trying to escape in a fighting withdrawal, and though she was able to cripple a couple DCMS hovers and drive back some Drac Toads, she only survived when Welles again allowed her to escape. For the rest of the battle he fought the RAF forces with ardor, even taking a fair chunk out of [[Lieutenant]] McCabe's ''[[Legionnaire]]''.<ref>''3135 PDA Journals'', p. 107: "18 October 3135"</ref>
