Plot[]
Crosshair is assigned to Lieutenant Nolan and travels to a remote Imperial outpost on Barton-4 under the command of a clone named Mayday. The outpost is attacked, and two cargo crates containing classified cargo are stolen. Nolan orders Crosshair and Mayday to recover the cargo. The two clones eliminate the thieves and find the cargo, which is Stormtrooper armor, but an avalanche fatally injures Mayday and buries the cargo. Crosshair carries Mayday back to the outpost, but Nolan chastises them for their failure and refuses to provide a medic for Mayday, who succumbs to his injuries. Fed up with Nolan's arrogance and disrespect of clones, Crosshair kills Nolan on the spot before losing consciousness. Later, he wakes up in an Imperial operating chamber, where Emerie Karr orders him to cooperate with her if he wants to survive.
