Chapter VI: Umeå

“THERE IS no question I would have been his successor,” said Uggs. “I was with him from Venus.”

“Seniority is not a requisite,” said Grunth. “Loyalty to his plans is. You wouldn’t follow Wulfgar’s plans!”

“Perhaps,” said Shinji, “a neutral party on that issue should be appointed as interim head of state until—”

“And let me guess, that would be you?”

“Well, I am most qualified to—”

“You lie! I am the most qualified,” declared Leonard. “If you had any sense, you’d have appointed me already!”

“We have the sense not to let you anywhere near the throne, Leon. The law is clear. I am second in the line of succession. I am in power,” Indigo insisted to the applause of her supporters.

Uggs began shouting, “The line of succession is not intended for emergencies, and Wulfgar’s death puts us in a state of emergency where I am legally obligated to take over the—”

The Geki appeared. Terror struck the secondary boardroom.

“Who among you rules Ulver?”

Every candidate responded at the same time, forced to by the pulse. “I do!”

“Who leads the crusade that seized your 6th Army?”

Uggs alone spoke. “I will when they find out Wulfgar is dead! We will merge with the Christians and form a holy empire the likes of which the world—”

Suddenly the Geki fire erupted from under the elder’s cloak and burned a tornado around him, reducing him to nothingness in a hot red flash.

“Now who’s next in the line of succession?”

Not a single board member restated their claim.

“We seek the leaders of the cult that took your 6th Army,” said Varg. “We will destroy them for you. Who was in charge of fighting them?”

Michelle squeaked in horror.

“Your intel! Who leads the cult?”

“Alexandra Suvorova! We think!”

“Where is she?”

“Krym! Sevastopol at last contact!”

The Geki nodded to each other and jumped. They landed in Sevastopol. They found the streets bare and empty. No screams resounded from their appearance.

“I’ve heard that name before.”

“You have?”

“Yes. She calls herself Mishka.”
