' | On [[Molaruss]], [[the Eight]], in control of [[the Eleven]], is invited to the [[Akkers' Mast]] to meet [[Oliver Akkron]] after writing a [[book]]. Over the course of their conversation, the Eight reveals that he knows that Akkron has [[murder]]ed his way to power and staged an alien infestation using tiny parasitic worms to remove his opponents and ensure that he wins the upcoming [[election]]. Akkron prepares to kill the Eight but succumbs to the worm that [[Miskavel|Miska]], disguised as a [[secretary]], put into his drink. | ||
The Eight is ready to become President of Molaruss and tells the authorities that he found Akkron dead, but he is accused of the murder and arrested. [[Amiella Sheppon|Dr Amiella Sheppon]] performs surgery on the Eleven to find out which of his [[incarnation]]s committed the murder and learns that it was the Eight. Her assistant, Canning, reveals that she is a time-travelling Miska and kills the surgical team before transferring the Eleven and his different personalities from the [[clone]] they are in into his original body, planning to claim that it was a clone of the Eleven that killed Akkron and to cure the planet of the infestation. | |||
