Before the group can depart Nur, they are attacked by the Order of Null, who are still bent on killing Flinx to prevent his interference with the Great Evil, which they call the purity. After their somewhat rocky reunion, Clarity decides to accompany Flinx on his quest along with his old friends and mentors Truzenzuzex and Bran Tse-Mallory. His decision made, Flinx travels to New Riveria to gather his companion Clarity Held before continuing on his search for the ancient Tar-Aiym weapons platform. The emperor even goes so far as to order all AAnn aggression against Commonwealth systems to cease for a year so that Flinx can travel without worry outside the Commonwealth’s sphere of influence. This not only kills some of the lords and drives others comatose, but convinces the emperor to release Flinx to fight off the Evil. After being threatened with arrest and execution, Flinx convinces the lord of the great danger both the AAnn empire and the Commonwealth are facing, by psychically projecting him into the mind of the approaching Great Evil.Īfter slipping into the center of the AAnn government and confronting the emperor, who is determined to execute Flinx for his brashness and insult to the AAnn, Flinx once again projects himself and nearly a hundred AAnn lords into the mind of the Great Evil. He manages to parlay this friendship into an audience with an AAnn lord who has influence with the AAnn emperor.
