The depth of his paranoia only increasing as the weeks went on, Kurstin ordered ROM to investigate several members of the First Circuit to see if in fact they were behind Marteen's death in an attempt to frame him. Matters became worse when Kurstin attempted to make his first appointment to fill a vacancy on the First Circuit, selecting his first cousin [[Dana Kurstin]] for the post of Precentor [[Barnard]]. With Dana a mere [[Acolyte]] of ten months, while the Primus claimed he was promoting her strictly on the merits of her skills and abilities, several members of the First Circuit, led by Precentor [[Kari Marshall]], directly implied that her appointment was purely based on her family ties to the Primus. For the first time ever, the First Circuit vetoed her appointment, the paranoid Kurstin viewing the failure of his candidate as another sign the First Circuit wished to challenge and undermine him.<ref name=CS-35/> The depth of his paranoia only increasing as the weeks went on, Kurstin ordered ROM to investigate several members of the First Circuit to see if in fact they were behind Marteen's death in an attempt to frame him.

− Kurstin's instability initially was known only inside the Blessed Order, but in the lead-up to the state funeral of Andrea Marteen word of these rumors and suspicions somehow reached the leaders of the Successor States, with [[First Prince of the Federated Suns|First Prince]] [[Joseph Davion (29th c.)|Joseph Davion]] and [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Elisabeth Marik]], herself a former [[Adept]] in the Order, refusing to attend Marteen's funeral. Now seeing enemies everywhere both within and outside ComStar in the wake of this public snubbing, upon discovering two young adepts were behind leaking the rumor, Kurstin ordered them both executed without trial, further damaging his already shaky support in the Order.<ref name=CS-35/> + Kurstin's instability initially was known only inside the Blessed Order, but in the lead-up to the state funeral of Andrea Marteen word of these rumors and suspicions somehow reached the leaders of the Successor States, with [[First Prince]] [[Joseph Davion]] and [[Captain-General]] [[Elisabeth Marik]], herself a former [[Adept]] in the Order, refusing to attend Marteen's funeral.
