''' | Justine and Eliza board the attacking mothership and discover that the Empire is being invaded by the [[Sontarans]]. After taking them down with her [[shadow-weapon]], Godfather [[Sabbath]] arrives with reinforcements and the Sontarans flee back through the rift. Having escaped, Justine and Eliza report back to Morlock. He believes that the assault on the Empire was a distraction for a more devious play. Consulting [[the Catalogue]], Morlock realizes that a specimen jar has been replaced with a fusion bomb. With minutes left before detonation, Justine drops her shadow sword and, at Morlock's instruction, bonds the bomb to her shadow. The bomb detonates, destroying the shadows of both Morlock and herself. | ||
Back on the mothership, [[General (rank)|General]] [[Kine]] and his advisor [[Lolita]] receive report of the fusion bomb's detonation. While Kine is irritated by Lolita's arrogance and the presence of her child, he continues with her plans. Meanwhile, Morlock and Justine have returned to the surface. The skies above them open, with representatives of the six Ruling Houses emerging from the rift. The Houses have offered to negotiate the recognition of [[House]] [[Faction Paradox|Paradox]] as an equal. Despite the suspicious timing of their offer, Morlock recommends that Parliament engage in negotiations. | |||
Cousin Eliza warns of imminent danger to the Empire, based on her own planet's destruction by the Great Houses. Morlock sends Eliza to meet [[Lord (rank)|Lord]] [[Ruthven]] of [[House Tracolix]] while he observes their biodata. Meanwhile, Morlock takes Justine to the [[Ritual Hall]] to prepare for the trap that they have walked into. Parliament decides to reveal the Faction's special weaponry, including [[Grandfather Pardox]]'s knife, which holds the last remaining physical trace of the now-erased Grandfather.[[Godmother (rank)|Godmother]] [[Quelch]] has failed in every previous attempt to bond the weapon to a soldier. Despite Quelch's protests, Justine is ordered to bond with the weapon due to her lack of a shadow. | |||
