Linge Chen and the Committee for Public Safety investigates Dr. Seldon who is known for predicting the end of the Empire. Chen eventually decides to exile his group of people to Terminus (as Seldon had planned) at the outer part of the galaxy instead of making them martyrs. No involvement by the Emperor. |
Seldon is brought before the Emperor where Seldon says the outer worlds are going to rebel. Gaal tells the Emperor that Seldon is the only hope to shorten the dark ages. Seldon says the fall can be slowed down by a few centuries by ending imperial cloning.
