===Episode 23===
Triad Complex
15 September 3067
Tharkad
Lyran Alliance
Peter: Damn, Victor. Walking these Mechs on these ice sheets is problematic. Between all the white and reflection from the sun, it's hard to keep a bead on the horizon.
Galen: Yeah (distractedly), sorry. Was thinking of Kathy.
Victor: You know you can do better.
(scene cuts to Peter's Fafnir, Victor's Daishi, and Galen's Devastator gingerly making their way across an ice field north of the Triad. In the background, Kai's Centurion does a somersault, runs as if on skates, and performs a triple axle as he approaches them. 
Kai: Whew, that was tough. Galen, are you still not over Kathy?
(Victor's comms squawk out in a static-filled burst "Who is all over Kathy?!")
Peter: Was that Vlad?
Victor: Impossible. He went back to Wolf High.
Galen: Truth be told Vic, you launched him back to Wolf High.
Peter: Pity. What good is having two heavy Gauss if you can't wrap a Wolf in tin foil and fire it from a Gauss Rifle.
Victor: It's a pity you can't hit the broadside of a barn.
Kai: It's not that hard. Remember that time when I stopped Pete from starting the Fifth Succession War, and then I stopped Vlad in that Stormcrow, and then stopped Victor from being a Falcon bondsman, and... 
Victor, Peter, and Galen: We remember!
*Victor's Mech stumbles and takes a double step to align itself properly*
*Galen's Mech goes to one knee in order not to fall*
*Peter's Mech plods at cruising speed*
*Kai's Mech performs a full Olympic tumbling run*
(among the smattering of applause)
Victor: That's a 10.
Galen: He's on Lyran territory, 9.95.
Peter: But he's using a *shudder* Medium Mech. 9.9.
Victor: Thank goodness there isn't a Russian judge, they're always the toughest on the floor routine.
Peter: Yeah, just ask Kathy.
Victor: PETER!
Peter: Yeah, yeah. Back to the monastery. 
Victor: Too late man, Cold white outfits are all yours now.
Galen: So says the Precentor Martial.
Kai: It's a pity we won't get to due this again until we all end up on Terra. Oops, sorry Peter.
