Clan but a few have turned against our Wolverines.тАЭ
тАЬSir, I want to make sure I fully understand your plan.тАЭ

тАЬOf course,тАЭ she activated the small holotable projector. A map of
Clan-controlled space came up before them. тАЬFor our Wolverines
to survive, we are going to have to turn away from our way of life
in the Clans. A move of independence will not be taken without
decisive action on their part. Nicholas and the Grand Council will
not stand for it and will come after us. Currently we have numer-
ous territories we defend, to be exact, there are six enclaves of
the Wolverines spread out on five different worlds. Spread out
this way, we cannot concentrate our forces for defense. As such,
I am calling for the migration of loyal Wolverines to two of these
territoriesтАФthe one on Strana Mechty, where we are, and the one
on Circe. Realistically, our main force will be on Circe. Only eight
Clans have territories there, and most are small and geographi-
cally disbursed. That will buy us some time we need to prepare
for the journey.
тАЬOur holding force here on Strana Mechty will secure the atten-
tion of the Clans. We will need a strong military demonstration
that will hold the focus of any adversaries.тАЭ McEvedy said. тАЬEvery
clan has an enclave and holding here. We will have enough mili-
tary force here to pose a risk to themтАФit will force their attention
to turn here. In the meantime, the ships we have and are borrow-
ing from the boneyards will go to Circe and depart with the bulk
of our people and expendables. The last force to withdraw will be
those on Strana Mechty.тАЭ
тАЬI concur with your strategy, Khan. At the same time, moving that
many people will be difficult at best.тАЭ
тАЬRemember, not everyone is coming,тАЭ McEvedy replied. тАЬThere
are some, even some of our Warriors, that are more loyal to
Nicholas than to their own Clan. They will be allowed to remain.
Enough of us are going to be risking our livesтАФI do not want peo-
ple there that do not believe in what we are going to do.тАЭ

тАЬWhat will be their fates?тАЭ
McEvedy pondered that, but only for a moment from what
Franklin could see. тАЬNicholas has his brutal moments, but he
created the caste system to avoid injuring innocent people. Our
civilians will be fought over by the Clans to incorporate into their
own Clans. The Warriors that remain may face a harder existence,
though realistically the ilKhan does appreciate and respect loyalty.
In the end, they may suffer career issues, but should be fine.тАЭ
