of us know what happened. Which means that when we return to
the Inner Sphere, we have to be careful about the people we meet
and the alliances we make.тАЭ
тАЬWhat will the ilKhan do when he realizes that we are not fleeing
in front of his fleet? He could turn about at any moment and catch
us.тАЭ
тАЬThe only way he can know that is to reach the Inner Sphere him-
self and find that we are not there. By then we will have enough
astrogation data to avoid following the Exodus path back into the
Draconis Combine. We can pick and choose where we desire to re-
turn. Nicholas will either be forced to turn around and go home or
confront the Inner Sphere with whatever forces he has with him. It
is my hope that he will be so occupied with attempting to skirt the
House military units that we can move around him.тАЭ
тАЬThere will be some of our people that do not make it to the de-

McEvedyтАЩs face hardened. тАЬWe learned a lot from the Exodus in

at the onset of the civil wars gave us some insights as well. This
is nowhere as ambitious a plan or operation, but the reality is that

their survival.тАЭ
тАЬYou must have some thoughts about that, quiaff ?тАЭ
тАЬAff. We will give orders for them to disperse, to hide, to blend
in. It will be a hard life at first, but it is not as if they are hunted
criminals. Over time, they will find lives with other Clans, and find

ways to ensure that our legacy continues on.тАЭ
Franklin stared at the holographic map and slowly turned his
eyes back to Khan McEvedy. тАЬAs they used to say, тАШon paper it
looks good.тАЩтАЭ
тАЬThat is not enough and you know it,тАЭ McEvedy replied, leaning
back slowly and wincing slightly. Her injuries are still tugging at
her. тАЬNicholas is not used to people that do not follow his com-
mands. From what I have seen in my life, the entire concept of
someone not doing what he says is something almost alien to him.

When we bolt for freedom, he will come at us not just with Wolves,
but with every Clan.тАЭ
тАЬWhat about bidding? Surely that will help mitigate the damage
to our people should they engage us?тАЭ
McEvedy shook her head. тАЬYou must understand. Remember the
