...head of state until the Greek people freely decide otherwise. The first government formed after the coup of April 21, 1967 [headed by Constantine Kollias, a civilian], swore its oath to me. So did Papadopoulos when he assumed the premiership in December 1967 and when he later became regent. But now he has proclaimed himself President with no legal basis whatsoever...

The governing Regent, his assistant, the Bailiff, and Professors Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar conspire to kill off one of the Prophets so that the other can take over. But their plan miscarries, and both Prophets as well as all of the plotters except the Bailiff end up dead.
