(and gets a cameo by The Lady).  The mystery and clues to why the defections and such that left them leaderless is still there, as is the real source of manipulation by the Taken.  I could also end a night on the point of them reforming a new leadership/name with The Lady 'negotiating' the acquisition of the artifact... "So now that you have so shrewdly chosen my favor, to whom do I credit for this item? Yes, that is what I see on your emblems and banner, but are you not without your officers?  You are but men together at present.  I will return tomorrow and ask you again.  Consider your future and choose well as others I know have."    That way they get to email and talk and pick a name if they like or keep the old name I gave them.  (as in Starship Troopers when Jelly takes over)</blockquote>
