Wolves on the Border (1996 Edition)

Bushido governs all these concepts. As a MechWarrior of the Draconis Combine, Minobu Tetsuhara was bound by Bushido -- a code that demands loyal service -- to the devious Warlord Grieg Samsonov.

But when Minobu came upon a strange blue and gold Archer, the field littered with its vanquished opponents, and its weapons now empty, Bushido also dictated that he not destroy an honorable but helpless warrior. And so he rescued Jaime Wolf.

Minobu was then assigned as liaison to the Wolf's Dragoons, who treated him with the respect due a fellow warrior. When the mercenaries refuse to renew their contract with Samsonov, Minobu was instructed to destroy them.
