Salaryman Korean Robert was having a monumentally bad day. Aside from having an unfortunate family name, just minutes ago he’d been in Matsumoto the Floor Supervisor’s office about to receive a promotion to the opening on the 43rd floor when a `Mech, a Jenner maybe (he’d be the first to admit he had no idea), caved in a section of flooring beneath Matsumoto, who had plummeted to serious injury or death.

The `Mech’s path had smashed the primary fire escape, and sent Robert crowding amidst a herd of other office workers towards the escape on the opposite end of the building. The crowding had been intense, but with a clear view of the `Mech battle and the destruction of several nearby offices, everyone in the building knew they had to get out.

And then came the explosion that’d shattered every window in the building, and left dozens on this floor alone lacerated by flying glass and deafened—perhaps permanently—by the boom none of them had heard. As one of the least injured, Robert had busied himself over the injured. He’d never had medical training, but he could tie a bandage and besides, he couldn’t have left the cute girl from desk thirty-one laying on the floor unconscious like that.

Saving her had galvanized him, and even though it was a social faux pas to call attention to another man’s weakness, Robert had personally organized the rest of the staff into a makeshift triage team to help the injured from the floor in an orderly fashion. He had been just about to order everyone left to proceed down the fire escape when a shadow sent a chill down his spine—the grinning, skull-face of one of the invaders’ `Mechs rounded the corner behind Victory Tower and surged towards him at a terrifying pace.

With an unmuffled cry of warning, Robert lunged into the crowd to pull thirty-one girl to safety. He hadn’t saved her once just to watch her get crushed by a damned Battlemech!
