House Tindal. Physicist, Head of the Crystal One development team and all around curious man. A late term cancer patient, Dr. Gage heads out to Bellisarius Territory to settle his own curiosity about some flaws in the eyewitness reports. He now finds himself spending the last days of his life with his reformed team of Crystal One scientists in an attempt to prevent the literal end of the world.
Ian is still safe in his position right now, (at very least because of the time of war deal)
As for succession, it’s not necessarily a heredity deal. Yeah, people are in line for the job…but the Taioseach could always pick someone else. The choice of taniaste has to be affirmed by the Taioseach as a successor to his position. Ian was named officially, which is enough to legally cement his position.
As for what happens when/if Ian’s grandfather makes it back is another bundle of fun entirely. And there is also the question of whether Amena would even want the job in the first place.
As I recall, Ena was chosen as the heir for her House by the current Taioseach wasn’t she? The assignment she was on was at least in part a test to see if she had what it took, and she passed…
since her mom was not really in the line off succession
and how would this work with the fact that the Taoiseach cant be opposed during time’s off war ?
