Vatican Ambassador Mike Luoma

BC and the Governor of Lunar Prime, Marc Edwards, contemplate the recent past. They look towards the future, and the upcoming election between Edwards and Daniel McEntyre, the widower of Governor Meredith McEntyre, the woman BC recently assassinated.

As Election Day approaches, BC gets dragged into the spotlight by McEntyre and the media. This does not help the prospects of Marc Edwards' reelection.

Inauguration day is not a day BC enjoys. BC also worries that the new Lunar Neutrality Declaration is really an open invitation for the UIN to return in force to Lunar Prime, right on the UTZ's doorstep.

BC has been clubbed over the head and abducted! Or has he? Against his will, at any rate, BC finds himself in a meeting with UTZ CEO Richard Wentworth. BC confronts Wentworth about Fiza, Wentworth grills him about the new Vatican Mission's defenses, the new Pope, and he wants to know... Who is BC working for now? And will BC come to another meeting?

As BC comes back from his big meeting he runs into Marc Edwards in the Lunar Prime Port. BC tries unsuccessfully to avoid Daniel McEntyre. And Pope Linus the Second, who seems to have been avoiding everyone, finally gets in touch with BC. He wants to know about BC's recent meetings...

BC heads to Vatican City to see the new Pope. His audience with Pope Linus proves interesting as BC finds himself tasked by the Pope with calling a peace conference!
