CHAPTER FIFTEEN

09:00 Thursday 3 August 2051

Thomas hadn’t let the grass grow under his feet. He’d been in charge of the Illuminati for over six months now and had already increased the priority of two of Nathan Smith’s pet projects. There were a few raised eyebrows when he diverted even more funds to those projects, but anybody who held any office of stature in the organization knew that they were also very important to Nathan, bordering upon an obsession, and so nothing was said that could be construed as counterproductive.

Thomas was glad to now be at the helm. It suited his ambitions perfectly. He wasn’t satisfied to be just another name in the long list of acting Pindars, he wanted to break Nathan’s stranglehold and replace it with a new dynasty. Nathan’s and Thomas’s goals were almost identical but Nathan had been the one in situ and therefore he’d had the advantage. Now, in the period between his death and his return as Pindar, Nathan’s position was highly vulnerable. He’d left mechanisms in place to ensure that his return to power was as trouble-free as possible, but nothing is without its risks – loyalty can often be bought. Removing Nathan from the equation would be a difficult task but Thomas didn’t believe it to be impossible. It may take a few years, but Thomas was certain that in the not too distant future he would be able to begin his own self-perpetuating dynasty as the Pindar. Except that Thomas’s rule would have eternal continuity.

In the lavish room that had until recently been Nathan’s seat of power, Thomas shifted around in the large leather seat until he felt comfortable. He’d initially used the chair that matched the original beautifully carved wooden desk but he’d succumbed to using a more modern and comfortable executive chair, that gave his weakened body more support. The desk was far too ornate for Thomas’s taste but he was well aware of the symbolic power of the desk. It had been the seat of operations for the Pindar since the inception of the organization in the 1760s. It had seen Nathan leave and return in various incarnations and had seen several temporary Pindars ensconced behind it whilst awaiting Nathan’s return. It had survived the brief period when the organisation was known as the Perfectibilists, it had survived the two hundred and fifty years or so of the Illuminati, and was still present. It also had the large Illuminati symbol, the all-seeing eye within a pyramid, carved into the front of it. Thomas didn’t want to tempt fate by changing it

This seat would be his for twenty years or so and then he would relinquish it to its rightful owner without a murmur of protest. That was the published plan. But that was Nathan’s plan. To the observer, it would appear that Thomas was simply continuing Nathan’s efforts on pet projects – it was actually part of his remit. Nathan certainly wouldn’t want to come back to reclaim his position and discover that the projects had been stagnating in his absence.
