The question seemed to make Shoon-mi nervous. “Not necessarily,” he said. “But perhaps the Jeedai know more about the gods than the priests do.”

And there it was, stated boldly: the true heresy that had the potential to bring the Yuuzhan Vong species to its knees. Once the workers stopped listening to the priests, what would fill the vacuum? The warriors? The intendants? The Jedi?

The latter truly would be an abomination, Nom Anor knew. He would never allow himself to be dictated to by an infidel. But he would use them to get what he wanted: either news of the heresy could regain his favor with Shimrra, or the heresy itself could destabilize the Supreme Overlord’s rule.

That seemed a simple enough progression. It wasn’t the normal way an ambitious Yuuzhan Vong climbed the ranks-but since the ladder one would normally ascend to further one’s status in the Yuuzhan Vong hierarchy had effectively been kicked out from under him, he was forced to resort to other methods. It wasn’t something he was particularly proud of, but it was necessary.

“We must return.” Aarn shuffled about on his feet. Nom Anor wondered if Shoon-mi’s blatant statement of faith had unsettled him, too.

“I understand,” Nom Anor said. “But I would very much like to talk to you again. The notion of truth intrigues me, and I’d like to hear as many different versions of Vua Rapuung’s story as possible. If you hear it from anyone else-”

“Then we shall tell you, Amorrn,” Shoon-mi said, nodding. “I’pan should take you to see Hrannik, too. I’ve heard she is also busy spreading the message.”

“I will,” I’pan said. “I know a couple of others, as well. The truth is spreading.”

“The truth is spreading,” Shoon-mi repeated, as though by rote.

Bidding a quick farewell, the two from the surface exited via the abominably right-angled door, leaving I’pan and Nom Anor alone again. His deformed companion opened the sack Shoon-mi had given him and looked inside.

“What is it?” Nom Anor asked.
