== Plot ==
 
Imperial forces under the direction of [[Demerzel]] raid an illegal biohacking facility on the dwarf planet [[Aethra]] seeking information about the [[nano-lace explosive]]s used by the terrorists who destroyed the [[Star Bridge]]. Despite Demerzel's best efforts, the true architects of the attack remain undiscovered.
 
 
A [[slow ship]] carries [[Hari Seldon]] and his [[Foundation]] through space, bound for [[Terminus]]. At their current speed, it will take four years and four months to reach the planet, allowing the Foundation time to prepare and plan for living and surviving on Terminus. The training sims result in failures, and projections for deaths of Foundation personnel after settling Terminus are high.
 
 
The representatives of [[Anacreon]] and [[Thespis]] continue to deny any involvement in the bombing of the [[Star Bridge]], despite evidence that the bombers were from those worlds. [[Jerril]] finds it hard to believe that the two planets would cooperate on a venture like this, given that historically they hate each other more than they hate the Empire.
 
 
As the senior member of the Genetic Dynasty, [[Brother Dusk]] works on the [[Mural of Souls]]. He falters while climbing a ladder and sees his hand begin to shake. Angry, Dusk takes out his frustration on the paint and ladder before storming off. Demerzel accompanies Dusk to the [[Scar]], where the Star Bridge tether crashed into [[Trantor]]. Dusk tours to the destruction and meets with a priest of the [[Seer Church]], wondering if Gaal is a true Seer who forsees the fall of the Empire.
 
 
Aboard the slow ship, the members of the Foundation continue to prepare to live on Terminus. Gaal takes on more responsibility in the Foundation, dealing with personal issues and attending a Foundation budget allocation meeting in Hari's stead. Gaal and Raych have grown close over the time onboard, developing a romantic relationship. Hari admits that he did not expect to be exiled as part of his plan.
 
 
In a show of strength, [[Brother Day]] orders Anacreon and Thespis to be bombed. In a ceremony on Trantor, images of the attacks are broadcast while he executes members of the diplomatic delegations. Only the ambassadors are allowed to live, to take word back to the survivors of their worlds that they failed to save them.
 
 
Aboard the slow ship, a crisis emerges for the Foundation as tensions between Hari and Raych come to a head, leaving Gaal in the middle.
