Sian, Capellan Confederation: September 2, 3029 Today marked the arrival of what was supposedly the captured Duke Morgan Hasek-Davion. When the DropShip had landed, a large number of 'Mechs wearing the colors of the Lions of Davion, the First Kathil Uhlans, were discharged. They began attacking the city. Duke Morgan's 'Mech was leading the attack! It seems that not Duke Morgan, but the Capellan ships he rode in on, had been captured. Throughout the day the Davion assault force laid waste to the Liao Battlemechs. These were Liao's best, which had had been fitted with the new triple strength myomer bundles (for which the formula had been stolen from Davion by a team of commandos sent by Justin Xiang earlier that year). As soon as the Liao 'Mechs heated, the myomer bundles began to break down. It seems that the formula had included a two-part chemical which causes the fiber to become shattered and useless under combat conditions. There hadn't been time yet to field-test the 'Mechs... One of the Davion heroes was MechWarrior Hamish Shane. Piloting a Panther, he took on a group of five medium 'Mechs which had not been "improved" with the new myomer formula. Using rooftops, and a judicious use of weaponry, he was able to eliminate the Liao 'Mechs one by one. He was also most influential in providing the chance to get this news item out. He picked up the skimmer which our reporter Nelson Chang was using to get about the rubbled streets and carried it back to the spaceport! During the withdrawal of the Davion assault team, there were unconfirmed reports of seeing the Traitor Justin Xiang around the DropShip which had brought in the attackers. There were also reports of Candace Liao's presence with Xiang. Thesetwo have become veryclose since hisdefection to House Liao. Could it be that the two have played into Davion hands and been captured? Or could it be that Justin Xiang was a deepcover mole for Prince Hanse Davion? BattleTechnology promises to bring you more on this question soon. BattleTechnology News Service Surprise, Chancellor! Kell Hounds - How Did it End?
