===Summary===
Michael Browning is a rising star within the Society. The lead engineer on the Nova CEWS and a respected MechWarrior within the Society's ranks.Michael Browning is also trapped between a rock and a hard place: the Clan Warrior Caste and his own chain of command. Forced to balance his loyalties to his leadership, his peers and subordinates, and the Society as a wider movement, he must navigate the crucible of Babylon—at times under his own terms. Who can he trust? Who will have his back when the going gets tough? And perhaps the ultimate question: when the dust settles, will his actions make him a hero... or a traitor?
==Word from the Author==
The story submitted a story to Shrapnel—more specifically, I submitted part one of a story. Regrettably, it was only later that I uncovered an old BattleCorps style guide and later testimony from other authors that implied that multi-parters would not be accepted from new authors. Disappointing, but I was deep in the queue by then, and I did also get the advice that if it stuck around for a few months then there was probably hope for it, so I held on hope and continued to periodically refine and edit the later parts on my own time.Well, 427 days after submission (a couple days ago as of writing), I got the email that the story was rejected. It was, as expected, on the grounds of being a multi-parter, and due to part one having too much action and too little character (which, taking part one entirely on its own, is a fair assessment; unfortunately, I consider those action scenes to hold too much showing to cut entirely, and I can't really cut them down and crowbar in later character moments without killing the pacing and making the story feel cramped). As much as I'd love to cut it down and resubmit it, I just can't tell the story I want to tell like that.
