Chapter 1: Continued
The Venusians were the first to rediscover Sol, a feat years ahead of the other lost colonies. This shock was hardest felt by the flightless Remnant, and this shock turned to near-violence when a Venusian ambassador requested terms for the return of their historic home world. The most xenophobic wanted to keep anyone and everyone as far away as possible. The more visionary craved the transnewtonian elements needed to escape the planet, and thought these 'cousins' of the stars worth the risk. Kimble Vallant, Remnant Governor of Earth, was isolationist xenophobic to the core, but his unexpected passing (probably a heart attack from stress and not an assassination) gave the traders their chance. The Remnant named their terms an astronomical price equal to nearly half the total remaining planetary stockpile every year (1,000 tons annually) and were shocked the Venusians accepted the price at once without argument. Perhaps transnewtonian elements were more common than they had thought. In any event, this success and the hope it gave led to the 2nd pillar of the Remnants foreign policy: real estate sales.
