Major Allard detected a heavy 'Mech further to the west, and contacted his XO, Lt. Andrew Redburn, assigning command of the unit to him while Allard dealt with the new threat. The Cadets rallied and combined their fire against the Capellan 'Mechs. By using their superior numbers and their jump jets, they took advantage of the valley's benefits to their lighter 'Mechs. The cadets, lead by Lt. Redburn, overcame the ambush and forced the veteran troops to flee. Shortly after the battle, they discovered the wreck of the Major's Valkyrie. Allard was found alive, but having lost his left forearm after fighting a Rifleman (piloted by Gray Noton) Heavy 'Mech to a draw.
