Avedis compares his situation in his new Clan to that of the 'Mechs they have chosen for the Trial, Avedis' ''Battle Cobra'' taking a more measured and skilful approach to victory while Rudella's blind almost–Ice Hellion zeal for speed results in her ''Shadow Cat'' suffering [[MASC]] failure that dooms her to defeat. Quickly becoming a ''[[ristar]]'' in his new Clan with both success on [[Twycross]] and his forthright manner, Avedis catches the attention of Khan Breen and earns his [[Trinary]] a place fighting along [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]] on [[Jabuka]]. Though many resent the success of a non–Steel Viper born warrior, Breen has secretly taken to sleeping with the Ice Hellion, recognizing he misses his old Clan but impressed with his fervor for the Vipers, seeing it as an example of the superiority of the Clan way overall. + On Waldorff V ''[[abtakha]]'' Clan Ice Hellion warrior Avedis holds the upper hand in a [[Trial of Position]] to be a Star Captain in the [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Steel Viper's Gamma Galaxy]] against [[Point Commander]] Rudella.

As ammo runs low and with damage mounting, his Elementals discover an isolated trio of Com Guard 'Mechs with no rocky outcropping that could hide any additional forces, a gap in the ComStar line that would turn the battle in the Viper's favor.

Apologizing to his Khan, Avedis barely hears Breen praise his Ice Hellion heritage and time as Steel Viper as he fights to the bitter end. + The next two days see Avedis engaged in some of the most brutal fighting of his life as Vipers resume the same slog through the Devil's bath.
