Brigaders attack at the Baustin market and on skiffs, one shouting "Not today, not while Amercadia's watching!" SOE9·00:12:56. Its fighter pilots fly Brigade Tigers SOE9·00:18:18. Admiral Gust Weatherall hunts Skip for the murder SOE11·00:05:29.

Gust demands the immediate surrender of "the traitor, Norman Takamori" SOE17·00:12:38.

The Wurst destroys Gust's ship SOE18·02:50:05.
