In the wake of mass disapproval for the Manteler species, President Celfyn Gwynlais considers disbanding Manteler occupation on Human-inhabited planets. After receiving advice from his personal protector, Eryr, he ultimately decides to enact the Manteler Expulsion Act.

### Part One

#### Mantela

Astronomer Sawyl Henbryd and his department at the Quadraplex, complete their research on the Asylum, the mysterious planet that materialised in the Regal Family of Jones space. He presents his findings to the President at Hafan, claiming that its ambiguity could mean a great threat to the Universe. The President decides to organise a gathering at the newly-built Castell, for representatives from across the local stellar neighbourhood to negotiate a plan to tackle the Asylum.

Meanwhile, the Manteler High-Council acknowledges the outbreak of Kynigos disease in the Teichos system, and prepare a supply vessel with an entourage of medical doctors from the Quadraplex. The vessel, aptly named Achub, is put into construction. Specifically, Gweinidog Rhianudd Maethol agrees to represent the President by travelling to Politismos, the central civilisation in the affected system.

A former employee of Pankosmios, the company that caused the financial collapse of the Greenpalm Union, is put on trial in Prifddinas for being in possession of a significant weapon with the capabilities of killing a Manteler. She is temporarily secured in the city until proceedings are finalised.

After receiving intel from, Andras Rhyddwaed, one of his closest allies, Henbryd locates the employee from Pankosmios, Amelia, and questions the nature of her obtaining Godkiller in the first place. She explains that her employers retrieved the weapon prior to her possession on Othello. Henbryd quickly informs Rhyddwaed via cross-planetary communication. However, before he can continue to question Amelia, she is assassinated through the window by an unknown killer.
