Maggey Potter’s Reviews > The Nemesis > Status Update

Nemesis does not want to let Tyrus die for crimes he did not commit. Tyrus needs his reputation to be ruined so that the people of the Empire will not want another Emperor ever again. Tyrus is destroying a system that has been enforced for hundreds of years. For him to be successful he must have a public health. Nemesis saved him once but she cannot do it twice because the lives of the people are more important.

Nemesis discovers Tyrus was kept alive so the Partisains could get the command codes to his ship from him. Nemesis helps him break free from the hospital and take over the ship. Tyrus gives the command codes to Nemesis so the ship is hers to control. Together they imprison everyone on the ship. They plan on traveling to the Chrysanthemum to reclaim the Empire. Once there, they wish to reveal how the empire came to be

Nemesis and the Partisans lured Tyrus onto their ship using Nemesis as bait. A planned explosion kills him and in his last moments he pushes Nemesis away from the blast and saves her. After his death, Nemesis discovers a holographic video of him where he explains that he stabbed her to set her free. He explains how all of his actions in the past years have been to free the Excess from corrupt rulers.

Nemesis has joined forces with Neveni and a group of Partisans to create a plan and kill Tyrus. Nemesis feels like she owes him and must kill him because his old self would have wanted that. They plan to attack him in the chaotic gale that will disable his electronic forces. The Partisans have projectiles that do not require tech so they have an advantage. Tyrus does not come to battle so they need bait to lure him.

Tyrus has exiled Nemesis because she refused to allow herself to be used. He wished her to join his side as his goddess. Nemesis couldn´t stand the idea of people throwing their lives away for her or worshipping her when she was lying to them. Once exiled, she decides she cannot live with herself if she decides to abandon the people of the Empire with Tyrus in power. She vows to the stars that she will kill Tyrus.

The Excess learn that Nemesis is alive and she becomes their symbol of hope and rebellion. Tyrus brings Nemesis to him and demands she join him in ruling the empire. Tyrus has the power to create malignant space and cause supernovas so he has been titled a god and Devine Emperor. If Nemesis refuses to join him, Tyrus will not treat Aunguish (her only friend). She cannot let Aunguish die so Tyrus holds the power.
