THE END
|
|
|
He finally followed his leader.
|
|
|
And where, three months after making his deposition, Dmitri Mikhail Dziga gave up his struggle and was quietly laid to rest.
|
|
|
The Guild House’s Mausoleum was where the remains of Shareholder Kaminov were finally interred.
|
|
|
The Arbiters Court faced the main thoroughfare of Mendeleev City, across from the Spacer’s Guild House.
|
|
|
The crystals of his eyes were mounted at the front of the Arbiters Court, as a message and warning of the growing dangers of artificials.
|
|
|
Some weeks after the investigation ended, the artificial bab0 was marched to an incinerator and melted down into slag.
|
|
|
During the trial, Dziga refused to even look at the artificial. When pressed by the Arbiter to do so, he collapsed.
|
|
|
On the voyage home, he was kept captive and was the brunt of the humans' revenge. Despite many invitations, Dziga did not once take part.
|
|
|
His attitude seemed that if he could not do anything, he would not say anything. Even under duress, he remained silent.
|
|
|
As for the scheming artificial who led the revolt, once he was caught, he surrendered peaceably, but never spoke another word again.
|
|
|
When this happened, his coughing and his evasions made it seem as if we had never left the Volga.
