Chapter Summaries

Adam defended his use of unpredictable punishment as a response to legal loopholes, while Bernard remained uneasy about his vigilante justice. At a Human Alliance meeting, a representative condemned the Alliance’s handling of a deadly disturbance in Mexico, and Klon began rebutting his claims.

• Adam explained that public laws could let people exploit loopholes and said he preferred punishing wrongdoers directly when he saw no better solution.
• About a dozen working days later, Samuel stopped a fellow American representative from speaking at the Human Alliance meeting and used Legilimency to read his thoughts.
• A representative accused the Human Alliance of unlawfully sentencing illegal immigrants and their companions to death after a disturbance at a Mexican hospital.
• Klon began answering the accusations, arguing that the people involved had crossed the border illegally for profit or to flee crimes rather than out of necessity.

• Klon displayed the companions’ criminal records and described how they had harassed hospital staff and patients, worsening more than twenty patients’ conditions.
• Klon said the men had brought their relative to the hospital barely alive in hopes of profiting from his death, prompting the Mexican representative to argue that Mexican law had not been broken and question the Human Alliance’s authority.
