Twenty kilometers away from Colonel Murant’s position, Kara Moore had her Thunderbolt in a full-out run, trying desperately to reach any of the Second Lancers.

As she crossed a bridge over a gorge, she tried contacting the DropShips again. “Adept Moore to Red Lancer or any Taurian DropShip. What is your status?”

Nothing but static answered her.

Two hours ago, her radio had exploded into shouts and screams. Through the mix, Kara had heard someone shout, “Red Lancer to Control Six! We are under attack by enemy ’Mechs with infantry support! It’s the Roughriders—” Then there had been a burst of static and more incomprehensible shouting.

Piecing together the spotty transmissions, she had learned a battalion of Roughriders had attacked the LZ, and the DropShips wouldn’t hold out for long. She had immediately tried contacting Murant, but the mountains were blocking her signal, so the only way she could get help for the LZ was to clear the mountains enough to radio the colonel.

Kara had then pushed her ’Mech into a run, seeking to close the distance between her and the Lancers enough to get the word out. But the trail was not designed for ’Mechs, and she had nearly fallen several times. She had continued trying to contact Colonel Murant with no success, but she had also lost contact with the Red Lancer, a troubling sign.

The sun was now beginning to creep up into the pass, illuminating the area and giving Kara a little more light to see by. She continued moving as fast as the terrain would allow, and hoped she could reach the Lancers before the Roughriders did.

But she feared it would be too late.
