Ch.19 : Campaigns : Part 2 (Marta and Gallanol In The Modern Age)

Pontius, the Cheif Executive of MIOST breakfasts alone in his suburban home, watching news reports of new demonstrations against the new (unnecessary?) massive tunnel project to the islands. He cannot understand the demonstrators, or their purpose. They present 'common sense' arguments against the projects, which seem so alien to someone so driven by the concepts of economic expansion and growth. This is set in the Modern Age of the Martan Empire and Gallanol.
