==Author's Introduction==
Maturity Rating: PG-13. This story is not focused on adult themes, but some of them get touched on in passing. A chunk of the story takes place on Herotitus, and people who know the Battletech setting should understand what sort of depraved Space Los Vegas it is in 3025. I expect there's probably some horrific things going on there… but I prefer to keep it offscreen. Some characters kiss. Some violence is shown in the form of Battlemech combat (as I hope you might expect from a Battletech work). There are references to torture, but none is shown "on-screen" (although I edge a bit close in the first half of chapter five). What can I say? The Capellans showed up.

==Notes==
*Wiki Editor Note 1: Each of the these chapters have been edited by Outsider7724 to correct misspellings and grammar errors only.
*Author Comments: This story, as with so many others, grew in the telling. I intended it to be a short story, a quick battle-scene written for a bit of practice and personal enjoyment. Ahahahaha, yeah. The "short story" currently sits at fifteen chapters and 49k words.Over the last year, I've reconstructed my writing process. Traditionally, I'm an exploratory writer creating a 'first and final' draft with a reasonably high level of polish. With Cat and Crescent, I wrote a crude first draft, then slowly took that draft apart, used it as an outline, and wrote a second draft from the smoldering wreck.I've also changed the way I edit my drafts. There are some interesting machine-learning tools out there that I've used experimentally to identify weak writing. I've analyzed some of my writing crutches, and tried a few new tricks to eliminate them. Overall, I believe this is some of my best writing to date, and I hope you the reader will agree.
