Not necessarily . . . El Minha involved a young king and a recent transition to power, and multiple political groups within the city wanted the throne. There was an attempted coup, and then another attempted coup, but the King retained his throne. . . as far as we know.

Struxta involved a massive electrical storm that we re-routed into the planet itself, which short-circuited something called the Mass Subconsciousness. It was the central brain for these creatures, the robots -- and as a result, they began to have free will. Again, as far as we know, they're recuperating fine. But they both suffered completely different forms of "darkness," as Astoria likes to call it.
