The people there thought very highly of themselves and had a generally low opinion of everybody else. As a nut cult, I suppose, they were no less unusual than the worm-like citizens of Rhapsody, but they certainly seemed to have a lot more to be proud of (and conceited about). However, I don’t like cults of any kind, and I probably wouldn’t have liked them any better than I liked the Exclusive Rewardists even if they hadn’t been so consistently nasty to me. They thought that Lapthorn and I were... pretty poor specimens, both physically and idealistically, and they lost no opportunity to offer us evidence of our failings.
    In the main square of the port where we made landfall stood a monument which carried a proud boast of their ambitions and their philosophy. The statue was corny enough—a stylised athlete in the classical mould. The ancient Greeks had produced hundreds just as good, but because the cultists had plonked theirs a thousand light-years from ancient Greece they had a much higher opinion of themselves.
