"Rossignol's curious, albeit simply titled book, the 'Origins of a World
War', spoke in terms of secret treaties, drawn up between the Ambasadors
from Plutonia and Desdinova, the foreign minister.  These treaties founded a
secret science from the stars.  Astronomy.  The career of evil."

There.

Call me Desdinova.. Hmmm nova = new, I wonder what the origin for the rest
of the name yields...  (for example, if I'm not mistaken, Casanova
translates somewhat as "newhouse", but also somewhat as "newlywed", since in
spanish the word for marry and house are the same "casar", to marry, and
"casa", house...
