What if Samsons Land refers to "bringing down the Temple"?
If Pei Shan-Wei named Samson's Land, she named it before the colonists arrived ... so how did she know there would be a Temple that needed bringing down?
Hiding the ore deposits on Silverlode could be justified as contingency planning. Money is always useful; if the Pei faction was right about Langhorne playing fast and loose with the mission parameters, they probably intended to make sure one of "their" colonists discovered the ore, and if they were wrong "oops, this got left out of the report, sorry".
Very correct - the Temple was not constructed until AFTER the death of Langhorn- and thus Pei Shan-Wei. Unless it was already planned in some fashion (but not built "YET" - unlikely), Shan-Wei would have no knowledge of the building to plan against it.
