Transcript

• New Fist: Two reports tonight, my emperor. First, I continue to disagree with the pullback from Las Hermanitas.

Our spies now say the colonists are working on a new ship design.

• Emperor Cruz: A ship?? Who cares! Let them piddle around in their local system in whatever rink-a-dink ships they can build. We have a wider war to fight.
• New Fist: ...Indeed. Which leads me to my second bit of news: we've searched all imperial records for "blue jungles," and the reference has turned up in only one place.
• Emperor Cruz: Good! Good! Where?
• New Fist: Blue jungles are obliquely mentioned in a catalog of books. But the book itself' has not yet been digitized by the empire.
• Emperor Cruz: So where is the book? Just search the book.
• New Fist: That's the issue, sir. The.. book.. is...
• Emperor Cruz: Yes?
• New Fist: ...Held by the Qen.
• Emperor Cruz: Buhhhhh.
• Emperor Cruz: Those people have been nothing but trouble since day one. Nothing but trouble!
• Emperor Cruz: I should've known this would somehow involve those ingrates.
• New Fist: So you see our problem. We've not yet made a move for the book, as we fear they might...
• Emperor Cruz: ...Spectacularly blow the damn thing up.
