Starport. George Martin R.R.

OF

      THE EARTH-FIRST AND

      ALT-RIGHT PURITY GROUPS.

      BASICALLY, THEY...OBJECT

      TO THE ALIEN

      PRESENCE.

      OBJECT?

      ISOLATIONISTS

      AND BIGOTS, CHAY’ASH.

      WE’SHEY ASSIAYAS NOVO TELLA NASH-TARA.

      THERE’S NOT

      MANY OF THEM–

      NO MORE THAN

      TWENTY.

      THEN SO

      FEW CAN PRESENT

      NO TRUE DANGER TO

      THE TRADE ENVOY,

      NAI?

      I WISH

      THAT WERE TRUE,

      BUT THESE PEOPLE

      ARE VIOLENT AND

      UNPREDICTABLE.

      THEY MAY

      EVEN HAVE AN ALLY

      SOMEONE IS SUPPLYING

      WEAPONRY.

      IMPOSSIBLE!

      STARPORT

      SECURITY WOULD

      NEVER ALLOW

      THIS!

      THE

      CHAY’ASH

      SPEAKS

      TRULY.

      THE VIOLET

      NHAR HAVE GUARDED
