Calyactus was disposed of and replaced by Titus. Smonny seeks vengeance for having to leave Cadwal, even though it was her own laziness that caused her to fail to achieve Agency status. The other faction is the Life, Peace and
Freedom party (LPF), led by Dame Clytie Vergence. Initially the LPFers idealistically sought to free the Yips from their sorry state, but now their goal is to create large country estates for themselves, keeping some of the Yips as servants.

injured man to die or be killed by the hostile alien natives. After
Barduys recovers, he has strong reasons to aid Glawen and the Conservancy. He arranges for a face-to-face summit meeting with Smonny and Dame Clytie, supposedly to settle the details of their plan. The two women have very different goals and ideas of who is to be in overall charge, and soon come to furious blows.

Eustace Chilke to feel out Lewyn Barduys, a construction magnate who had been seen talking with Dame Clytie.

The LPFers are caught while trying to leave the planet, and are sentenced to death. Smonny, Namour and

Egon Tamm, the
Conservator, announces that the old Charter governing Cadwal (which was found through the efforts of Glawen Clattuc and Wayness Tamm) has been superseded by a new, somewhat stricter one. However, Bureau B is under no illusions that the danger has been averted. Glawen Clattuc is sent

By this point, Bureau B has identified the two factions seeking to overthrow the
Conservancy that protects and administers the nearly unspoiled planet Cadwal. Smonny Clattuc controls the Yips through her compliant husband, Titus Pompo. By chance, Titus resembles Calyactus, the former Yip leader.
91:
When Glawen finally tracks
Barduys down, he and Chilke arrive just in time to save the man's life. Barduys had had unsatisfactory business dealings with Namour Clattuc, Smonny's lieutenant and lover. Namour decided the best way to deal with the matter was to shoot Barduys and leave the gravely
