The spectacle was to Karen F. Ngo. As any grandstanding 'fixed fight' narrative out of Solaris.  A spectacle for the masses, including a sand-covered circle in the middle of what normally serves as a baseball field, and in the stands, uniforms.
There were SLDF whites, and Wolf Brown, Bear Grey, Snow Raven blacks, Hell's Horses/Stone Lion Red-and-gold, and uniforms from the migrant clans being settled in the Inner Sphere.
They were all here to see her get her ass kicked.
"This...is going to suck."  Karen said quietly.
Lt. Huang-Tze, her Exec, patted her shoulders.  "You're ready for this?"
"No." she said, "Explain to me how we got into this finagle-damned mess again?"
"Closest ship with a blood relative." Huang-Tze noted, "I doubt the Archon or your Grandmother thought this would result in needing to fight a Trial of Possession."
"Not 'a' trial of possession. We have to fight ten. Against gene-modded uberwarriors." she said, "How in hell did I get myself in this mess?"
"You got born. Worked your ass off, didn't make a stink when you found out who your gene-mother was. Then climbed the ladder in the Guard." he told her.
"Right...got myself into this. Wonderful."
