could befriend.
Xela continued her work to keep the still-contending factions in some form of lasting unification.
Velu and Zena continued to help Xela in her efforts.
The Harians on Anga-Param had accepted their new name, Aklans, and, because of the belief that there
were still safe places on the planet, met their deaths as a group, during their yearly gathering to celebrate the
Revelation of Akla. The children who had been sent to them for safe-keeping and the parents of those children
were also killed but not in an out of the way place. They met their physical end in the town squares and office
parks where they had lived and worked.
The double-implants were eventually discovered because of information that Zena had passed on to Xela
to scan for devices that had irrevocably broken the treaty between the two Worlds.
Xela met her death at the hands of one of the double-implants—member of the Leadership Council. Xela
knew the information from Zena was, in reality, from Akla. Her last trace of doubt about his Prophethood had
made her begin scanning in the general populace, even though she had a recent Angan arrival on her Council.
She reasoned that, if the information wasn't true, she wouldn't embarrass a Council member.
Her last thought as she died was the echo of a Lordly voice: “I forgive you for that now."
The Leadership Council on Anga-Param issued a threat to the Council on Anla-Purum and Anla-Purum
sent ShipFour back to Anga-Param. It halted its flight just out of range of weapons, on land or in orbit, and
delivered four deadly plasma blasts to the Leadership Council's building, then retreated to Anla-Purum.
The ecology of Anga-Param continued to deteriorate, everyday people and Corporate workers dying in
the millions.
Zena became the adviser to the newly-formed Settlers' Leadership Council and Velu became advisory to
the Religious Leadership Council.
Citizens on Anga-Param, those who had particularly strong physical and mental constitutions, organized
themselves into a Planetary Leadership Council. The Corporate Leadership Council had become just a name.
Members of the various Leadership Councils began to visit each other. All were ready to find some way to
end the divisions, to find the path toward unification—to try, beyond hope, to stop the death and destruction.
