The old cities of Kardon and Treves were seen through a sunlit rain, and the level rays of the descending sun produced an effect of the most singular beauty. We spent the night in Coblentz and on the following morning set out to see Ehrenbreitstein. The view from this place is very fine.
It was abysmally crude compared to Beta, but the Brotherhood had opened Kardon less than five hundred years ago, and in such a short time one couldn't expect all the comforts of civilization. It required a high population density to supply them, and while Kardon was integrated its population was scarcely more than two hundred million.
Well, that's your privilege, but I'd advise you to go easy until I see you. Naturally I'm coming as soon as I can get there. We'll be seeing you tomorrow morning at the latest. We? I'm bringing Copper, of course. I just wanted you to know." Kennon wiped his forehead. Alexander sounded angry and dangerous. Ten years hadn't served to cool him off. What had happened on Kardon after he had left?
No we'll get everything possible done to make the Lani's case airtight, and then I'll return to Kardon. It will put our case in a better light if it ever comes to trial, if I go back voluntarily. Anyway I'm morally bound to return. Now let's make this record." "It's your decision," Brainard said. "And it's your neck but I must admit that I agree with you."
The constellations were strange, and Kennon missed the moons. Beta had three, two of which were always in the sky, but Kardon was moonless. Somehow it gave the sky an empty look. A damp coolness rose from the ground as the evening rain evaporated mistily into the still air. Kennon sniffed the odor of soil and growing vegetation, clean pleasant odors in contrast to what he had left.
Executive level, Kennon thought as he followed the receptionist's directions. No wonder she had looked respectful. But what was he doing here? The employment of a veterinarian wasn't important enough to demand the attention of a senior executive. The personnel section could handle the details of his application as well as not. He shrugged. Perhaps veterinarians were more important on Kardon.
Douglas looked at him, "I wouldn't take one of them out unless I had him shackled and there was an armed guard to help me. Those males are the most vicious, cunning, and dangerous animals on Kardon. They exist with but one thought in mind to kill!" Kennon looked curiously through a barred door at one of the Lani.
She has some schooling." "But no training and what of the Lani in the meantime?" "I have plans for that. I'm going back to Kardon and give Alexander a chance to make restitution. I think he is an honorable man. Slavery may be as revolting to him as it is to any civilized human. He deserves a chance to rectify his grandfather's error."
"You forgot something," he said. "What?" Kennon said aware suddenly that something was wrong. "What do you plan to do, now that this is over?" "Join the Medical Center here and practice veterinary medicine." "You wouldn't care to work for me to help rebuild the wreckage you've helped create? I'll need a manager on Kardon to phase out the island while we phase in Phoebe." "No, thank you.
I am going to extend your contract until phase-out has been completed. You are going to have control of the entire Kardon phase of the operation. It's poetic justice you made the mess now you can clean it up." "That's inhuman!" "Humanity has nothing to do with it. It's justice," Alexander said. He smiled at Copper's radiant face. The thought of going home was good to her.
