Last Train from Earth: Holy Christian Empire 2206

When Eric Stewart, my boss and inventor of the Stewart FTL drive, burst into my office, I didn't realize that my entire world would be turned inside-out.

The Free States of America's president was plotting to become a dictator after the 2208 election and Eric (with some other industrial magnates) decided to buy a planet, gather a lot of people and industrial capacity, and emigrate.

Problems:
-I want to go, but my beloved wife refuses.
-The president doesn't want to lose all that industrial capacity and she has a murder squad at her disposal.
-She has a spy in our organization.
