Leong, press secretary to the Chancellory announced that Tormana Liao, former son to Chancellor Maximilian Liao, plans a retreat at the Evening Peace monastery on Carver IV. This is a monastery of the Living Silence Sect; the visitor, like the monks, is expected to speak no word from dawn to dusk. The charismatic MechWarrior requests that no calls or visitors disturb him at his meditation. He quotes the poem by Li Hseiu (2528-2605), "If the snake does not coil in readiness, he cannot strike. Charming as the distractions of your company are in my leisure hours, I must be allowed a time of spiritual growth." The Mandrinn of Capella was slightly wounded in the recent fighting on Algol. Length of the retreat is indefinite. BattleTechnology News Service New `Mech Design Begins Testing Jamie Wolf A Terrorist?
