The Assassins Arrive(1)
At a spot around a kilometer away from the shore of Angaria, Daneel stood alone, waiting for the members of the TriCobra Sect to approach.
The Godnet extended far into the sea, as the Emperor had been quite wary of any threats that might come from around them. Daneel had given access to the Godnet to his sovereigns, so the alert had been sent to them, too.
They had even begun to travel to the point where they could intercept these three, but Daneel had stopped them and insisted on going alone. He had been busy running many simulations with the system, but he had dropped everything as he could not let these three into the continent without first meeting them, and finding out a way to keep them in check.
The reasoning he had used to convince his sovereigns was simple – they would all have to come in their real bodies, while he could simply use the Godnet to conjure a clone.
