==Plot summary==<br />
In March [[3050]] the [[9th Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|9th Falcon Talon]] and the [[Turkina Keshik (Clan Jade Falcon)|Turkina Keshik]] clusters invaded the [[Federated Commonwealth]] world of [[Toland]]. It was defended by [[2nd Regiment (12th Star Guards)|2nd Regiment]], [[12th Star Guards]] and three mixed regiments of the [[Toland Defense Force]]. In an initial engagement Sergeant [[Pablo Benito]]'s company met with Trinary Delta of the Ninth in Judea Jungle. [[Star Captain]] [[Sylvia Roshak|Sylvia Roshak's]] ''[[Warhawk (Masakari)|Warhawk Prime]]'' destroyed [[Captain]] [[NFN bin Xemol|bin Xemol's]] ''[[Quickdraw]]'' causing Benito to flee in his STG-3G ''[[Stinger]]'', even after [[Lieutenant]] [[NFN Mukerji|Mukerji]] threatened to shoot Benito for desertion.<ref name="PoV">''Point of View''</ref><ref name="CJFp37">''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 37, "Toland"</ref><ref name="CJF9th">''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', pp. 63-64, "9th Talon Cluster"</ref><br />
<br />
[[Point Commander]] [[Keefer]] of Trinary Delta Nova bid his Elemental Point to track down Benito's ''Stinger''. Warrior [[Bitter]] located Benito first and scored the honor of first blood with an [[SRM]] from her [[Flamer]] equipped [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Battle Armor]]. Benito scored a hit on Warrior [[Mijj]] with a [[medium laser]], though Mijj remained combat effective. Bitter and Mijj swarmed the Stinger just as Keefer and the two other members of his Point came into view.<ref name=PoV/><br />
