Some accuse Chloe of having a King Arthur or Merlin complex. She disappeared with her Napoleon but came back in the hour of France’s need. With a new Napoleon on her arm who seemed ready and willing to steer France back on course. She stood by him, the rest of the AI Council, and every world leader who came to welcome the Peloran when they landed on Earth. They all smiled for the cameras and everyone on Earth watched as we entered a new age. An age in which we were not alone in the galaxy. Chloe and the AI Council had been working towards that peaceful Contact for over a century. A soft one in which humanity already lived in space and had already colonized the stars. And she and her Napoleon helped drive France into that new future by forging trade treaties and technological exchanges with the Peloran. It was just the kick in the pants France needed to explode into the 23rd Century’s Great Space Race.
