=====The Stolen Light=====

The only thing that allowed the Primarch to avoid the punishment of death was the astonishment he provoked in the most seniors members of the Lighthouse. It had been decades since a pattern had been extracted from the machine, and each time it happened great changes swept through the world of Taros. The elites were not too sure how to deal with this new dependence they had on this youngster who managed to do the impossible and was eager to do more!

Still they agreed to a ruling. The pattern discovered by Rook would be kept by the Institute, Rook would have to keep working on the recovery of more patterns but would be forgiven from ever talking about it and his discoveries.

The ruling drove the Primarch to the brink of anger. It had revealed a truth that Rook never realized or even imagined possible, that the Lighthouse court was not one working for the common man, for the sharing of knowledge, for the betterment of science. If anything, the Primarch saw in their demeanor that personal gains and fear motivated them. The Primarch could not abide with that ruling.

And thus for the first time in ages the Lighthouse court was defied. Rook shared the discovery of the new pattern with the planet at large, despite the Court orders. Of course everyone on the planet now considered Rook as a hero, but because the Primarch decided not to reveal the treachery of the court, the people were oblivious to the deception their elite were ready to pull on them.

Rook believed that by seeing what the world could do of this discovery the Court would see the errors of its way. Unfortunately they did far from that.
