I. Dark Island
The heavy spaceship hovered, then laboriously touched down on the bright landing pad. Joshua could see a small royal entourage emerge from wide doors, greeted by the courtesans of the Yellow Emperor.
"Leizu, what brings the Galactic Empire to the Far East of the galaxy?"
Leizu's smile faded.
"We have something they covet."
"What is that?" asked Joshua.
"Vast supplies of minerals & natural resources?"
"Partly. But there is something more. Something not known to the media of the galaxy. Something only known to the inner chambers of the Galactic Emperor."
Joshua flinched in surprise. The galactic psychohistory of the millennia prior to the secret birth of the Foundation was well mapped out- by no less than Seldon himself. What was she talking about?
"What is it?"
He stared skeptically at Leizu in the soft ambient light, looking for an answer in her face- but she averted her eyes.
"It is the black key." she said.
Joshua paused. She held the shiny black key in her delicate fingers. He reached out & held her arms, then looked directly into her eyes.
"What is it? What is so special about the key?" he asked.
She said-
"The key is made of black jade. Let's just say the key unlocks the secret to fame & fortune & love. Thousands & thousands of years ago that ancient secret was lost. The key was then born to hold the secret. This is the way of life & death in the cosmos. No one can change that."
