Ellen sat down in the visitor chair under the watchful gaze of President Joris.

“Okay, so that could have gone better,” she stated the obvious.

Joris leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled. “When I agreed to you going to Mysar, I thought it was to help the chancellor, not instigate her death.”

“I know, sir, but she died years ago. This was a necessary tragedy.”

He nodded. “A chance at a new beginning for us, indeed.” He paused. “I think you should participate in discussions with the new heads of state.”

“I had a hand in their previous leader’s death. I’m not sure how well that would go over.”

“That’s not in the official record,” Joris pointed out. “You know what really went on there before. That insight will be valuable when it comes to instituting a structure to keep this from happening again.”

Ellen shifted in her chair. “Have any new Mysaran representatives been nominated yet?” she asked.

“No, but I heard it’s in the works. MTech and several other companies are also going through a reorganization now that the alien influence is no longer present.”

“Did they get a final count on the number of people who’d been subverted?”

“Over one hundred, in one capacity or another. They’re rolling out a program to test for the TR your brother’s team identified.”

Ellen released a sigh of relief. “With that resolved, we can finally move forward.”

“Indeed. Now that circumstances surrounding Mysar’s opposition to rejoining the Empire have come to light, the matter has been reopened.” Joris cracked a smile.

“Finally, a chance for peace.”

“It’s what we’ve all wanted, isn’t it? Even if we went about it in different ways.”

Ellen slumped back in her chair. “I can’t believe the things I was willing to do for the Sovereign.”

Joris smile broadened. “Impressionable youth.”

“And so horribly misguided. There’s such a huge difference between cultural identity and autonomy. They aren’t mutually exclusive.”

“Our little Elvar Trinary will find our voice, I have no worries,” the president replied. “We will remain Elusia, and hopefully Mysar can reestablish itself in a new image for the future.”

“I would like to be a part of that, sir, if they’ll have me.”

“I’ll make the suggestion as soon as it’s appropriate. You’re one of the few who’ve touched all three worlds in this system in a meaningful way—lived on each, knows the quirks and preferences. That will go a long way toward opening a productive dialogue.”

Ellen smiled. “I look forward to being of service.”

Joris nodded. “We have a long road ahead yet, but now we’re on the right path.”
