BattleTech: Take Your Daughter to Work Day (A Short Story), by Tom Leveen

WHEN CALLED ON

In the Greater Valkyrate, the MechWarriors of the Lorca family have not experienced real combat for generations, so Frederico Lorca lets his daughter accompany him on his routine patrols. But when invaders land with intent to conquer, he must confront his own inexperience head-on to keep his daughter—and his whole family—safe from the horrors of war.
