BattleTech Legends: The Scorpion Jar
POISON COMES IN MANY FORMS...
Exarch Damien Redburn has called for the election of his replacement. Paladins assemble from all corners of the Republic¸ and those vying to be the next Exarch are creating a lively nomination process. But machinations behind the scenes threaten to turn the election into a bloodbath.
Paladins Heather GioAvanti and Jonah Levin are both conducting investigations into suspicious activities swirling around the edges of this high-level gathering¸ including a suspected assassination at the highest level of Republic government. The leads they uncover repeatedly intersect¸ and it becomes clear that more than one group intends to disrupt the election. Through political influence¸ assassination¸ or rebellion¸ each of these cabals ultimately seeks to place its own man or woman in the Exarch's seat - and whoever controls the Exarch controls the Republic.
But Damien Redburn will not allow his successor to be a puppet¸ and is more than willing to throw a few 'Mechs and a secret agent or two into the mix to get the result he wants - even if what he wants may be a surprise to everyone else...
