The old parliament building of Palas moved in the middle of the sky of the planet transported to its new location, it would no longer be the center of Nike, the capital of the planet. Its new destination would be Calliope, a modern city in the southern hemisphere, where it would be relocated and converted into a museum that would document the ancient political life of Palas.

Humans were already seven thousand years old when the first contingent of settlers officially began their work of making this newly terraformed world into a truly habitable one for the ancient inhabitants of Perseus and other less pleasant colonies.

Planets such as Palas, with an environment so friendly to human requirements, have been colonized few, many of them already had native species, so they could not be inhabited, and others came to have such conditions thanks to several centuries of planetary engineering processes, which did not always achieve results as good as those of Palas.

Victoria observed through the window of the observation bubble of the ship, the enormous pyramid-shaped building, floating between the clouds as if nothing weighed, which in a certain way was true, the reversion beam of the graviton field, had the effect of converting to matter of negative mass, the objects that it affected, then, thanks to simple magnetic levitation panels, it was possible that any object, regardless of its mass, floated smoothly.

Tomorrow she would be in charge of presiding over the inauguration of the new museum, which would be at the same time part of an even bigger celebration, that of the seven thousand years of Palas, which would last practically the whole year. Colonial Olympics, and other sports tournaments, would be held this year on the planet, as well as festivals and cultural events of all kinds.

As part of the event, the Parliament would be moved from its permanent headquarters in Heracles to Nike where it would occupy the new planetary parliament building, and would sit together. For a whole year Palas would be the center of all the cultural and political life of the inhabited worlds, millions of visitors from all of them would come to participate in the event.
