''Tai-sa'' [[Esau Olivares]] finds his [[11th Legion of Vega]] overwhelmed on [[Alrakis]]. With the enemy Lyrans in control of the planetary HPG, he cannot request permission to honorably retreat. Even knowing that unauthorized off-world retreats are traditionally punished with mass executions (of the commander, their staff, and a third of the unit's soldiers), he decides to conduct a fighting withdrawal regardless, preserving at least some of his forces.

Once back off-world aboard the unit's flagship, Olivares prepares to commit ''seppuku''. To preserve his unit, he writes a suicide note falsely claiming that he told his officers that permission to withdraw had been granted, and he prepares to die.  ''Sho-sa'' [[Leonardo Nicosia]] interrupts with a message: the [[Federated Commonwealth]] was conducting a large-scale assault on the [[Draconis Combine]]. Feeling that his presence is still needed, Olivares burns the note and decides to keep fighting.
