The Ghosts from Xene

Miscellaneous

The Ghosts from Xene: In CC 60, in the segment of the Traveler, the Emissaries arrive in the Kua system.

◆ The Judge: During the Cyclade celebrations, the Bulletin transmits a special broadcast from the Foundation’s research station at Xene, where one of the five mysterious Emissaries has declared itself the Judge incarnate.   ◆◆ The Messenger: The following day – the first day of the new year – another Emissary arrives at Coriolis in a Foundation cruiser escorted by two Legion battleships. The Governor of Coriolis makes a statement welcoming the Emissary to the Council of Factions, and it soon becomes known as the Messenger Emissary.   ◆◆ The Mystics' Disease: Soon after the arrival of the Emissaries, individuals all across the Third Horizon begin manifesting supernatural powers leading to persecution and religious hatred. Many of these so-called “new mystics” travel to Coriolis for protection, and to be closer to the Messenger Emissary, or to the Foundation’s Xene station to meet the Judge Emissary.
