"Abandon Earth and sever all contact with Earth," Merilun instructed. "Within three days, Earth's territory… is not to have a single Black Moon citizen."

Cipolla was stunned. "Give up? Teacher, can I ask why?"

"Not now, but… it's hard to say in the future," Merilun answered. "Many nobles within the Primestar civilization are investing in Lunardo and the others. His brother is indeed a very impressive figure."
