Terens and her husband, [[David Chi Wong]], subsequently emigrated to the Rim Worlds Republic to continue the investigation, where she befriended and (is believed to have) had a love affair with [[First Consul of the Republic]] [[Heather Durant]].

That same year, an attempt was made on [[Director-General of the Terran Hegemony|Director-General]] [[Jacob Cameron]]'s life and Amaris, a [[Terran Hegemony]] intelligence operative, was put in charge of the investigation which would become the largest manhunt in the Hegemony's history. No suspects were apprehended but Republican passports had been uncovered.<ref name=SLp30>''The Star League'', p. 30: "Jacob Cameron"</ref><ref name=TPp21>''The Periphery'', p. 21: "The First Amaris"</ref> − Amaris and her husband subsequently emigrated to the Rim Worlds Republic to continue the investigation, where she befriended and is believed to have had a love affair with [[First Consul of the Republic]] [[Heather Durant]].

It would take another decade before the 'Mech was declared ready for production, becoming a massive money sink that also delayed multiple other 'Mech projects.
