Shortly following Levitas' death, a [[Winchester]] cracked the shell and required a Captain to attempt the harnessing. At the time Rankin had recently distinguished himself, and was unassigned it would have reflected badly on the Corps politically for the [[Winchester]] to go unharnessed while Rankin was available, however Aerial Command was loath to present him to a new hatchling given his previous treatment of Levitas. To solve this problem William Laurence suggested Hollin be allowed to attempt the harnessing. Hollin's dedication to duty and compassion in the case of Levitas had impressed Laurence favourably enough for him to suggest the Aerial corps overlook his common birth. | Shortly following Levitas' death, a [[Winchester]] cracked the shell and required a Captain to attempt the harnessing.
