# Part IV --- Arrival
> Let us first consider a few of the subtler correspondences between the Secession and the Launch:
> Here we must step back and address a potential conflict of interest.
>
> * Both have ramifications that stretch backwards and forwards through time for decades surrounding them.
> * Both were intended, beyond the surface and altruistic reasons, to ensure the continuity and stability of the System.
> * Both the Ode and Jonas clades were instrumental to engineering them.
> * Both involved political manipulation both phys-side and sys-side.
> * Both involved historical manipulation to ensure that accounts align.
> At time of writing, the Bălan clade is made up of two personalities in the form of three individuals: Ioan Bălan, the root instance, remains on the L<sub>5</sub> System, and Codrin Bălan travels on the Launch Vehicles (hereafter "LVs"). Two persons, three instances.
>
>And now we may consider the facts that fall out of the sum of the correspondences:
> Both of these persons, all of three of these instances, are entangled with the Ode clade. Ioan Bălan has worked extensively with and is in a relationship with May Then My Name Die With Me of the Ode clade, and Codrin Bălan has worked with and is in a polyamorous relationship which includes Dear, Also The Tree That Was Felled of the Ode clade. The fact that the Ode clade was instrumental in both Secession and Launch is undeniable, and the fact that the Bălan clade is entangled with the Odists is equally so.
>
> * The history of the System, stretching all the way back to before its foundation, is one of technology, yes, but beyond that, is one of politics.
> * Despite the assumption that such is not possible in the System and the promises that such is not the case, there are governing factions that guide the progression of the System through times via its interactions with phys-side politics.
> * Per that fact, those controlling factions sys-side controlled --- and continue to control --- politics phys-side to a degree heretofore unimaginable.
> * The System as a society, however loose knit, is directional: it advances not just in its use of technology, but in the way that all societies, that all civilizations strive to do so, which is toward greater security.
> * The unknowable size of the System and the unimaginable population within in all its variety and beauty retain the human characteristics of emotion and intellect, and are thus subject to the very same propaganda that has steered societies and civilizations for thousands of years.
> For reasons that will be made clear as this history unfolds, we are not able to recuse ourselves. You must bear with us, and you will see why we, the Bălan clade, *must* be the ones to write this history.
From *An Expanded History of Our World* by the Bălan clade
