Emperor: You are a valuable subject, Brodrig. You always suspect far more than is necessary, and I have but to take half your suggested precautions to be utterly safe. The young man, I suppose, has made no hostile moves yet.
Brodrig: He reports none. But already he asks for reinforcements.
Emperor: Reinforcements! What force has he?
Brodrig: Ten ships of the line sire.
Emperor: Ten ships would seem adequate for any reasonable undertaking. Why, with less than ten ships my father won his first victories against the usurper. Who are these barbarians he's fighting?
Brodrig: He refers to them as the Foundation.
Emperor: The Foundation? What is it?
