I. The White Cliffs
Astira held the tiny note from the Dragonfly in trembling fingers. The note was authentic- encrypted with the Dragon's personal key. But the Dragonfly was already here at the white cottage- having arrived 2 days ago. And she was not with child. And she made no mention of being with child. And she looked & behaved in every way like the Dragonfly Astira knew. She shared secrets known only to themselves. So the Dragonfly was definitely here, & the tiny note must be fake.
She paused uncomfortably. But the tiny note was encrypted with the Dragon's key. The note was signed with the Dragonfly's identifier known only to themselves. So the tiny note was authentic- the Dragonfly must be in the Far East with a child.
Astira blinked hard. She looked out across the moonlit sea. And then it clicked. She shuddered & for the first time in her life felt real fear. Yes- there was a simple explanation. This one bizarre explanation had a name.
Astira covered her eyes & fell to her knees. She blocked out everything in her mind but for the crashing of the breakers below. They were the key. Then she opened up her eyes to the stars. Yes- unbelievable but true- she had spent the last 2 days talking with the most disguised & insidious threat ever known to the Galaxy- The Mule.

Shengzi Li ran with the moonlight along the edge of the cliff- about 13 miles from the White Castle. How to alert what remained of the Second Foundation?
