"And a steel mill, and a collapsed-matter plant. And robotic-equipment works, and " "Oh, that's out of all reason!" Valkanhayn cried. "It would take twenty trips with a ship the size of this one to get all that stuff here, and how'd we ever be able to pay for it?" "That's the sort of base Duke Angus of Wardshaven planned.
His Majesty was most displeased that the Count of Newhaven was trading with Tanith from his own spaceport. All goods from Tanith should pass through the Wardshaven spaceport. "Look, Rovard," he told the audiovisual camera which was recording his reply to Grauffis. "You saw the Space Scourge when she came in, didn't you?
Angus of Wardshaven had been bad enough, with the hereditary taint of the Mad Baron of Blackcliffe, and Queen Evita and her rapacious family, but even he was preferable to a murderous villain some even called him a fiend in human shape like Omfray of Glaspyth. Both parties, of course, were positive as to where their Prince's duty lay.
"It was part of a larger plan; Angus wanted to gain economic supremacy for Wardshaven to forward his political ambitions. It was, however, an entirely practical business proposition. I was opposed to it, because I thought it would be too good a proposition for Tanith and work to the disadvantage of the home planet in the end."

He glanced quickly at the showback over the screen, to assure himself that his face was not betraying him. Beside him, Otto Harkaman was laughing. "Why, Captain Valkanhayn; this is an unexpected pleasure. That's the Space Scourge you're in, I take it?
"I am inviting you gentlemen to join me as partners." "Well, you still haven't told us how we're going to get the money to finance it," Spasso insisted. "The Duke of Wardshaven, and the others who invested in the original Tanith adventure will put it up. It's the only way they can recover what they lost on the Enterprise."
