When his wife learned of his fate, she immediately took volunteers and mounted a federation rescue [[Image:northgun.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Emily leading the rescue of her husband]]attempt. Starfleet phasers completely overpowered the garrison stationed at the prison camp, and James and four survivors were rescued. The rebellion called for a temporary truce, thinking that the federation had entered the war. After ascertaining that the federation had not in fact joined with their enemies, the rebels launched an immediate surprise attack on the Federation Embassy in retaliation for the starfleet rescue operation. Twenty four federation citizens were overpowered and captured, including Ambassador Richards and Emily North. After three weeks of negotiations, Ambassador Richards managed to negotiate the release of twenty of the federation prisoners, who were immediately placed in a secure location. Emily and two security guards refused to leave Ambassador Richards's side and stayed to protect him as well as they could. Eventually the rebels managed to piece together exactly what happened and realised that they were holding the head of the Starfleet security team captive. They decided to try to draw James out, using his wife. They proceded to record her being tortured, beaten, burned alive, and hacked to pieces. They gave the remaining federation hostages the remains of the body and the recordings and sent them back to the Dragon Lord's forces. James felt her death, and went mad with grief. | ||
For two weeks James Guildford was less man and more animal. He went through an intense stage of grief, of which he has never spoken to any one, even the counselors who put him back together after the war. After his two weeks of mourning, James managed to channel his grief into a rage. He judged that there were eighty-three people directly and indirectly responsible for his wife's murder and mutilation. He vowed that all eighty-three would die. James resigned from the army, put the eighty-three names on the war criminals list, and took out bounties on all of them. He spent the next eleven months tracking down and killing fourty-seven of the people on the list, and paying bounties on the other thirty-six. By the time James was done eliminating the fourty-seven he saw to personally, he had killed three hundred and fourteen people to get to them. The final twelve deaths were the most dramatic, as James led a small band of mercenaries into the capitol city of the rebellion, stormed into the rebel council chambers, where weapons were not allowed. He recorded a message to all of Dacoral saying that with the death of the rebel council, Emily was avenged and if they would have him, he would return. He then tied up the council and planted a large bomb. The bomb leveled half of the city, including all of the rebel army command that was at headquarters, launching the rebellion into chaos. | For two weeks James Guildford was less man and more animal.
