Without 'mech, he had been left dispossessed, and was assigned a salvaged Federated Suns ''Osiris''. After turning it on, he uncovers it has a digital assistant named ''Hikaru'', and the 'Mech itself is plagued with problems. Without any technician available, he had to attempt to solve the problems himself. Months later, after he had been promoted to [[Star Commander]], he was still fighting to solve the Osiris' software problems, and had to learn how to do it. A year later, Claudio had reached the rank of [[Star Captain]], and still hadn't solved all the Osiris' problems. After his tech made a reset of the 'Mech, Claudio reinstalls Hikaru, as he had began appreciating her. Five years later, after now Major Claudio Vong retires from the 'Bears touman, immigrating to the [[Republic of the Sphere]], he finally presents his Great Work: his finally tamed 'Mech, which he has named, precisely, ''Great Work''. At the eve of [[IlClan Trial]], the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] Warrior Edward is assigned to the Great Work 'Mech, salvaged from the Republic forces, and saw himself assaulted by Hikaru's apparition and a cacophony of classic music while he goes to the fight. ==Featured characters== * [[Audrey MacGuire]] * Edward * Eric * [[Claudio Vong]] * [[Heike Jorgensson]] * "Hikaru" (digital assistant) * [[Ruby Devon]] ==Featured planets== * [[Kaus Borealis]] * [[Luthien]] * [[Terra]] * [[Tukayyid]] ==Featured BattleTech== * ''[[Arcas]]'' (mentioned) * ''[[Cougar]]'' (mentioned) * ''[[Fire Falcon]] (mentioned) * ''[[Fire Moth]]'' * ''[[Jenner IIC]]'' * ''[[Osiris|OSR-3D Osiris]]'' * ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' * ''[[Black Python (Viper)|Viper]]'' (mentioned) [[Category:Short Stories]] [[Category:Works by James Bixby]]
