Forward the Light Brigade
A poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The Nightmare
Ryan's recurring nightmare is his mind's summary of the fight on Fellanin that cost him his 'mech and the lance he commanded. This nightmare, on a DropShip in the middle of the night in November 20, 3050, has a new twist for Ryan in that some of the 'mechs he sees dead on the field of battle belong to the Black Lace Pirates, a group of female mechwarriors he has recently befriended.

"Edwards Is Down!"
The first "real" flashback in the story shows Ryan and his lance forced to listen to the slow, systematic destruction of two companies of Eridani Light Horse 'mechs in combat with the Luthien Leeches as the lance tries to race to their aid. They arrive in time to find the Light Horse 'mechs smashed to the last and a company of enemy battlemechs waiting for them.
