Plot summary[edit]

In framing text, Magestrix Emma Centrella sits alone on Christmas Eve 3061 and mourns her daughter, Danai Centrella and her friend Protector Jeffrey Calderon—both of whom had recently died. Trying to drown her sorrows in wine, she sleeps and dreams of the events of a year prior, when President Sherman Maltin took her and Jeffrey hostage with the help of the Colonial Marshals.

In her dream, however, she had not sent her guards offworld as a demonstration of peaceful intent, and the Green Mountain Boys and Ebon Magistrate rallied to her defense against the renegade lawmen.
