<p>And I have finally found the overarching plot line. Eclipse will
save the world, by destroying the Namestone. And then she will
realize that in the process of doing so she has wrecked her
friends' family, assisted in getting Spindrift (you are about to
meet her) killed, and started an all-against-all world war. Oh
yes, she also summoned all the Invincible Star Demons, and almost
got the Sun turned into an ultranova (entire mass converted to
iron all at once). She has to clean all this up, but at least one
problem is totally beyond her powers.<br>

Such an excellent reconstruction of villains of the distant past.
Tricking the information conduit into revealing information was
particularly amusing. There seem to be a surplus of
universe-destroying villains, where "any" counts as a surplus.<br>

Lagneto of course acts by emitting lagnons, which are spin 1/3
particles. Not spin 1/2? No, 1/3, because they spin slowly.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">The Large Dining Room at the Japanese consulate could
comfortably seat
50. For the late lunch, it seated a half-dozen. Buncombe sat at
one end of the
table, as far as possible from host Saigo Shigetoshi. Shigetoshi<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>was accompanied by his wife
Saigo Nene. Her
presence was demanded by her role as hostess. Besides, it was
well known though
never stated that she ran the Satsuma Domain’s espionage
operations in Switzerland,
meaning she was better informed about events than anyone else in
the room.
Between the two of them were Reginald Featherstonehaugh,
Karl-Michael Ferencz, Bernard-Christian
Davout, and Elizaveta Romanoff.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Suleiman Pasha sends his regards,” Saigo Nene said. “It
appears he was
aware in advance of the Popular Assembly step, counselled his
Emperor not to
get involved, and was overruled via court politics in Istanbul.
Also, it seems
that this afternoon the Brazilian Prime Minister is facing a
vote of no
confidence, one that he may or may not survive.” Buncombe smiled
at his
hostess. Sometimes he wondered if his Federal District superiors
were aware
that Brazil had a Prime Minister, let alone that Brazilian
politics were
unstable. Certainly they had not advised him that he should try
to delay Holmgren
for another day or two. Now Buncombe had new material for his
next report. His
past reports were being confirmed by Nipponese intelligence.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Alas,” Elizaveta said, “Holmgren will get his vote.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The positions of those
powers on this
Assembly may well change, but Holmgren can charge forward
without restraint.”
She paused to sip Shigetoshi’s latest wine.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>A Moscato was a bit sweet for this early in the meal, but
then until
recently Nipponese had had no words for acid or acrid as
descriptions of wines.
Many of her countrymen, she thought, drank with vigorous
approval any of
several Japanese vintages to which ample amounts of honey were
added after
fermentation was complete.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“I noticed Lord Smoking Frog said something to you after
the meeting,
Reginald,” Karl-Michael said.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Surely
his boss isn’t trying to revive his ‘North America is divided
into two parts,
mine and yours’ scheme?” His chopsticks gathered up a few more
noodles.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Hardly,” Feathershonehaugh answered. “It seems that it
has occurred to
First Speaker Golden Buzzard that the rest of the world does not
agree that he
is the Supreme Being’s avatar, and that Holmgren may use the
Popular Assembly
to eliminate theocracy as a legitimate form of government. In
particular,
eliminate the First Speaker’s government.” He stabbed with his
fork,
transfixing another segment of octopus.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“I am reminded of historical events,” Buncombe said. His
fellow
ambassadors paused their eating to look down the table.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“My ancestors, four and six
generations back,
held American governmental posts just before the Summer War and
Crittenden’s
War. Afterward they each wrote books about their experiences.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>They emphasize how rapidly
matters slipped
from peace and calm to outright conflict, with each player
behaving like an
actor in some ancient Greek or Atlanticean tragedy.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>No amount of reasoning
could convince any of
the players that the dominoes were toppling, one after the next,
with a
conflagration as the inevitable consequence, until there was
actually a
conflagration.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Holmgren wants his Popular Assembly,” Elizaveta said.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“He wants it so badly he
does not care what
else happens, so long as he gets his Assembly.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Holmgren is almost as brilliant as Napoleon, the third
of his name,”
Davout said.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“After he
lost his second
war, Napoleon the Third at least had the sense to abdicate in
favor of his son,
without whom France might be ruled by a Bourbon or, may God have
mercy on the
land of the hexagon, a President.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Austria-Hungary enjoys peace,” Karl-Michael said,
“because we have made
the needed balancing agreements, and because the half-dozen
figures at the top
all view civic tranquility as their primary objective.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Holmgren’s Popular Assembly
could well
overturn all that. I spent the last hour counting noses, and
listening to the
advice of our hostess.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It
appears to me
that Holmgren’s appeal to the Popular Assembly, no matter how it
is phrased, is
highly likely to pass for a long list of wrong reasons.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>If the British and French
colonies in Africa
were still counted as parts of Britain and France, matters would
be
different.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Perhaps the
Queen-Empress and
the Emperor could claim that they are to be counted. That would
at least create
some confusion and obscure the validity of the vote.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I will circulate my nose
count. ” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“But does anyone here see a way to undo what Holmgren is
doing?” Saigo
Shigetoshi asked.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“The
situation is not
as favorable as could have been hoped. He has the votes he needs
on the Peace
Executive, and once he goes to his phony Popular Assembly he
will have his bit
firmly between his teeth. Perhaps a sufficient number of nations
can be
persuaded that they will not like the consequences of voting for
Holmgren’s
motion, so that he loses in the Popular Assembly.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Assign his negotiations to expert bureaucrats, with
vigorous orders to
procrastinate,” Davout said.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Holmgren
is term-limited, after all.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Drag
things
out enough, and he does not get his way.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Tell him to bugger off,” Featherstonehaugh said.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“He has backers for
different reasons, but
most of them don’t want a war. Too many casualties, theirs not
his. However, if
we show up and vote we are conceding that his phony Assembly is
legitimate.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“There is another path here,” Saigo Nene said. “He is
threatening to
use the League Peace Police against us. His Peace Police have
some excellent
personae, but there aren’t very many of them. Few governments
will agree to
lend them people from their National Persona Teams to the Peace
Police, unless
their neighbors do the same. Oddly, the neighbors are never
agreeable. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>It would of
course be highly unfortunate, and
something we would of course all work to avoid, if his League
Peace Police were
to blunder into situations in which their numbers became
severely depleted.
After all, we all prefer world peace, and all recognize the
great positive
contribution of the League Peace Police to meeting this
preference. Surely,
then, none of us will be arranging situations in which
Holmgren’s Peace Police
do poorly.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Oh, of course not,” Elizaveta Romanoff said blandly.</span></p>
<h1>Chapter Fourteen</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">Kniaz Kang’s Marco Polo</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">North Cosmopolis, Washington</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt">January 23, 2018</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Hello?” The question to Kniaz Kang came from across the
counter. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>“Are you open
yet, sir? I had met Joe, and will
meet his other friends who are girls.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“We are open.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Today
the young women
are in the South Greenhouse. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>I
have not
seen Joe in some time. You wish to order?” Kang asked, turning
around to face
his new customer. The girl in front of him was dressed all in
white: boots,
trousers, light but opaque blouse, and open vest.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Despite the blizzard
outside, she wore neither
coat nor gloves, not even a sweater. Emblazoned on her vest were
four polychrome
sigils.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Kang stared at
them, needing a
moment to translate. Then he contemplated fleeing for his life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“I’m a bit short of cash. Will this cover a glass of
milk, and one of
your butterscotch chip cookies?” she asked, setting a stack of
change on the
counter as she flashed a bright smile. “I’m here to meet Joe,
except he’ll be
too late.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“And a glass of orange juice,” Kang answered. “And a bit
more.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Surely you are the
persona who cleared my
parking lot?”<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The girl
nodded. “If Joe
asks for you, what name will he know? Perhaps not the one you
wear?<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Can you read those
kennings?” And why does
she think he’ll be late, if she’s already met him? Kang
wondered.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">I am indeed
Time’s Dagger,</i>”
she answered in flawless High Atlanticean.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>“But Joe will know me when he has met me as <i
style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">Spindrift</i>. And he will deny that I am his new
friend who is a girl.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">Kang made a shallow bow. “I have not seen Joe in some
days.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>A shame.<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Do not worry about his denials, Spindrift. Young men
often deny the
obvious.” Her laughter was the ringing of tiny silver bells. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“Nonetheless, I will be his girl friend,” Spindrift
answered.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span
style="mso-bidi-font-size:
10.0pt">“The South Greenhouse,” Kang said, “The north corner.”
He pointed the
way, quietly thanking the gods when Spindrift disappeared from
sight.</span></p>
