　Three months later, Tondatha still lay in ruins. The death toll had been too high, the destruction too thorough, to attempt rebuilding.
　Incredibly, I had survived with only minor burns and a mild concussion. The wounds of my spirit, however, were much deeper than those of the flesh.
　Both my parents were dead. My sister, Kitha, had been badly burned, and I had resolved to send her to Oorn Tchis, where we had relatives and where she might receive treatment. I feared that she would never recover.
　I stayed behind. I had no idea what I would do on Agamar, but I think even then that I was considering the Rebellion. I needed a new home, but more than that, I needed a focus for what was left of my life.
　More than anything else, I craved revenge.
　I had already suffered my punishment, now, I reasoned, I would commit the crime.
　I moved to Calna Muun, and lived by doing odd jobs. I kept to myself, but I also kept my ears open. Several months passed.
　I sought out places where the talk, in Imperial terms, was treasonous. People spoke with conviction of the Rebellion, and, when they heard my story, they accepted me without much hesitation. And though they trusted my sincerity, they also respected my grief, and sensed correctly that I was not yet ready to commit my life to the Alliance.
　That was about to change, completely and forever.
　One evening, deep in discussion with other friends of the Resistance, the word was passed that the time for decisive action was at hand, and that an important Rebel leader would soon arrive to address the groundswell of Alliance support on Agamar.
　Until that time, our clandestine meetings were filled with talk, but often in the abstract. Concepts such as truth, justice, and freedom from tyranny were easy rallying points, but what, we wondered, could Rebels on Agamar do to bring down the mighty Empire? The rhetoric served to keep people interested, but it had grown tiring. Now, perhaps, a time for action was finally at hand.
　Somehow I knew that this was what I had been waiting for.
