CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Since their emergence as a recognized political force, the Pragmatists had built up their organizational center and focus of support on Iapetus, second outermost to Phoebe among Saturn’s principal moons. After their failure to open a back door to power in the Directorate arm of the Kronian Congress, Valcroix and Grasse departed from Titan for Iapetus with a coterie of leading Party names, staff, and sympathizers aboard a local transorbital called the Eskimo. Most observers of the scene concluded that the intention was to consolidate after their defeat and consider where they would go from there.

A day out from Titan, Eskimo vanished without warning. It was the kind of thing that could happen at any time in a region still subject to hazard from rogue objects of all sizes, and the incident was recorded as “Presumed Impact Destruction. Unconfirmed.” Many felt inwardly, though it would have been in poor taste to say so, that perhaps Kronia had been spared much in the way of future complications that it really didn’t need right now. Those who believed it was Kronia’s destiny to found a civilization intended by Divine Purpose interpreted the event accordingly.
