“To qualify as an heir to Kalidon, the individual must understand and pledge themselves to the ancient ways of Kaldonian rulers of the past. There is a key phrase though, that we discovered. ‘Ancient ways’ seem not to signify what sort of laws a ruler enacted in the past, but ‘ways’ signifying how rulership was to be conducted from the throne. The exact meaning is a bit vague, however it appears that Archanon, current heir to the throne knows it well. There does not necessarily mean a physical relation is in effect.” Katrina paused as her image began shifting more erratically.

It was too complex of a subject to get all the details she needed and Ylana was starting to feel the intensity of her disappearing time. “Why the coup? What was Leamas’ motivation for trying to seize power when he was already the heir?”

Katrina looked as though she were concentrating. “It was a dispute about the Vren. The Vren were attempting to voyage into the Kalidon Nebula. Attacks were being had, however the King was resorting to tactics of holding a defensive line. Leamas wanted to take the attack to Vren, to discourage any further attempts at entering the nebula.” She fizzled some more and shook her head. “I am sorry. I was not given long.”

“I understand. I’m grateful for all your help, really,” Ylana replied.

There was a delay as she considered her next response while fizzling. “I’m not supposed to share this, but given that I was given such a very short time, I’ll do it anyway. I am a copy of the original Katrina program. Katrina is actually still aboard the Black Sparrow. She would have more information. Or you could always talk to Archanon.”

Eviros nodded. “You can be sure I will, thank you Katrina.”

She fizzled some more. “Good luck,” was the last words the program spoke to her before disappearing. The data rod ejected itself from the computer, emitting a small clatter as it struck the floor.

Ylana picked up the data rod and stored it securely. It was useless now but she wanted to keep it just in case. There was much to digest but right now she needed to pass on the pertinent information.
