Ask the guy who posted the original criteria.

Seriously though the Spirits have gone above and beyond during the Quicksilver Trails. They have gone from strict isolationists to a renewed version of their early selves. This kind of make sense in this AU because of Ulric's call for greater cooperation post Tukayyid. However their industry has its limits. They have made massive investments of time and resources that if you look back through each challenge and keep track like I have been doing. Here is a preview of the Spirits results

Blood Spirit

This Clan really emerged from isolation and took up the Quicksilver Challenges with renewed zeal. They entered the trails producing a single OmniMech - the Stooping Hawk (55 ton Zombie) introduced in 2970. Thanks to a deal with the Snow Ravens they now manufacture the Bloodwing (20 ton Vampire) which helped their touman prosper. Later they maximized their industrial output with the Kinslayer (95 ton Zombie) by working with Ghost Bear and Snow Raven.
 
Perhaps the most active Clan the Spirits worked successfully with Fire Mandrill (Crimson Langur 50 ton Werewolf) and Goliath Scorpion (Stone Lion 85 ton Zombie) on two new OmniMechs. Additional efforts with Diamond Shark, Hell’s Horses, Ice Hellion, and Wolf did not pay actual dividends but paved the way for improving relations. These engineering failures may produce diplomatic success and see the Spirits turn from total bitterness to a fair amount of cooperation.
 
No less significant were the development of five BattleMechs (Claybeg, Firebrand, Blood Knight, Awesome IIC, Battlemaster IIC) by this Clan further improving their touman. All of these positives must be tempered with their huge expenditure of resources in this venture. Some argue this massive investment was worth it but only time will tell. Several outsiders have wondered aloud how the Spirits could afford such profligate spending.

The massive investment in their ‘Mech forces caused the Spirits to decline participation in the aerospace trails but they did leverage their political support into further capital backing for their renewed industrial output. Despite this enormous expenditure the Spirits once again rose to the forefront during the vehicle trails. Citing the orthodoxy of Nicholas Kerensky's original military doctrine the Clan had long been proponents of front line vehicles.

Along with Hell’s Horses they pushed successfully for OmniVehicle production. Committing the last of their primary industrial base to the venture the Clan was soon rewarded with another excellent design, the Tanit Hovertank (25 ton Hover). They continued to contribute to Kerensky's new Armored Corps advising against the use of Extra Light Engines.
