"Ever since I came to Popeek. This group is older than Popeek. They
fought equalization all the way, and lost. Now they're working from

confiscate their estates, as you're now legally entitled to do."
"And now that you've warned me they exist," Walton said, "you can be
assured that that's the first thing I'll do. The second thing I'll do
will be to have the security men track down their names and find out if
there was an actual conspiracy. If there was, it's jail for them. And
the third thing I'll do is discharge you from Popeek."
