On the morning of the 25th...
"Sir, I think we may have a problem."
"A problem? What is it?"
"It's a situation that causes trouble for the people involved, but that's not important right now. The Digamma Thunderbolt is hovering outside the fleamarket's front door."
"The Stellvian yacht? Get whoever's flying it to land it at the spaceport, and then line up like everyone else."
"That's the problem. Nobody's flying it. The ship says it's interested in buying one of the Schwimmwagens."
"Then it's a customer. No problem."

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
