Synopisis

Dylan Hunt must negotiate between the Doge of Pierpoint Drift, Miskich, and the Than-General Clarion of Loss over an artifact said to be a crystallized heart known as the "Hegemon's Heart" in mind. The Doge claims it is his since he has it in his collection fo various other artifacts while the Than consider it a Holy object which they want returned to them. Matters are complicated when the Free Trade Alliance refuses to help the Doge due to unpaid dues, forcing Dylan to settle the matter before the Than Fleet arrives to retake the heart.

Title

The episode title comes from the poem "I Had a Heart for Falsehood Framed" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816):

Had I a heart for falsehood framed , Had I a heart for falsehood framed, I ne'er could injure you; I ne'er could injure you; For though your tongue no promise claimed, For though your tongue no promise claimed, Your charms would make me true: Your charms would make me true: To you no soul shall bear deceit, To you no soul shall bear Deceit, No stranger offer wrong; No stranger offer wrong; But friends in all the aged you'll meet, But friends in all the aged you'll meet, And lovers in the young. And in the young lovers.

For when they learn that you have blest For when they learn that you have blest Another with your heart, Another with your heart, They'll bid aspiring passion rest, They'll rest BID Aspiring passion, And act a brother's part; And a brother act's part; Then, lady, dread not here deceit, Then, lady, dread not here Deceit, Nor fear to suffer wrong; Nor fear to suffer wrong; For friends in all the aged you'll meet, For friends in all the aged you'll meet, And lovers in the young. And in the young lovers.
