The Journal of Caterina Sforza

Father Iqus, you are to question Lady Sahl about the incidents surrounding Ion Fortuna's shooting. Release her when finished, but keep an eye on her movements. Investigate the incident and incorporate into your parameters that Sister Esther is not automatically to be trusted.

She has been under the care of the Orden for too long and her sudden decision to return to our side is suspicious. Keep an eye on her biorhythms as well, in case brainwashing has occurred.

We need to speak somewhere privately. Peril is a loyal hound on our heels and I believe the enemy of the world has had a hand in the shooting of your subject and relative. They mean to set us against each other and in doing so, end the world. We must not allow that, as a responsibility to our people and as guardians of our world.

Sister Esther has contacted me about leaving Marionettenspeiler and returning to the Church.

I must encourage her, of course, my position might be compromised if not.

Father Iqus, all things are back in order?

Has your supplement been created by Lady Sahl? How are you faring?

[Private to Panzer Magier // Unhackable]

I have been informed by Marionettenspeiler that I might be needed to act against the Empire in the coming months. In order to be of such use, or any use now that Father Nightroad has left, I will need Father Iqus in functioning order.

That means the creation of the vitamin supplements that he regularly takes. Does your knowledge extend this far and are you willing to do so?

[End]

Handwritten Note Delivered to Lilith

Lady Sahl, I apologize for such short notice but I had enlisted the assistance of one of your doctors previously, but she was unable to help. Father Iqus is a unique combination of man and machine, and as such, he takes monthly vitamin supplements to sustain his organic functioning.

In this City, however, these supplements cannot be found. Are you capable of producing such a thing? Abel had faith you would have the knowledge.

Your Time is Appreciated,

Cardinal Caterina Sforza

The heat was so draining, and now, it would seem, Abel has left the City again. Or at least, has taken an unannounced sabbatical.

This cooler weather is welcome. ~~For now.~~

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 20:25:14 GMT

Hospital Staff, Doctors or Scientists:

I am in need of someone capable of producing a nutrient supplement for one of the priests I have in my service. Details shall be given upon a meeting and presentation of capabilities or references.

Thu, 06 Dec 2007 22:09:57 GMT

Father Iqus, this evening, I require an update on the status of your progress.

[ooc: As in, don't say anything over the network plzkthnx]

What is this place? ~~It seems very familiar, as though from a dream.~~

But I should not be away from my research for too long, and I had contents boiling!

[ooc: What if RCO never killed her parents? She's a very science oriented Cardinal.]

A safari and I am quite overdressed. The situation would be amusing were I not still suffering .. a cold.

Father Nightroad? Are you lost within as well?

[Private to Abel; Unhackable]

Father Nightroad, are you feeling any better today? The .. guests yesterday appeared to have upset you.

[End Private]

Such an odd curse. And odd that most of the visitors held near prophetic knowledge of our lives and futures.

There are many sinners amongst you, those who practice witchcraft, those who drink the unwilling blood of humans, and those who have consorted with darker forces.

But you can be saved. The Lord forgives those who seek him and repent their dark ways. If you fear the more violent forces of this crusade, come to me. I will hear your confessions, I will give you communion and shelter you until your innocence and sincere repentance are accepted.

Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:38:28 GMT

Let us take a moment to remember Exodus 22: 18 "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."

This, of course, does not apply to the children. Their minds are young and can be turned towards the Lord with the gentle persuasion of his Grace.

For the others, those who would tempt children and consort with the devil, Dies Irae.

Father Nightroad is no longer in the City.

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 22:41:40 GMT

The streets are beautiful covered in white, so innocent looking and pure. ~~I remember the last time...~~

[Private to Father Nightroad // Unhackable]

Abel, Father Iqus has been blessed in finding a way back home. But this leaves me utterly without guard and we both know that danger is about us. I hope this does not interfere in the life you have made here, but I do need to recall you for the time being to act as guard.

[ooc: Abel-mun, feel free to have him decline/accept as he likes, the RCO has ordered Caterina to keep Abel closer than she has been. Don't let this affect any plans you already have in motion or the like.]

I believe that my systems have been compromised. If you need to contact me, please do so with handwritten notes via some sort of second or tertiary messenger system.

I have sent messages to everyone I have recently been in contact with about the various things we have spoken about.

After this post, my messages, comments and network fingerprint will be utterly erased. Then, this post will vanish as well.

[ooc: After this message, all of Caterina's comments and posts will be gone, including this one. If you have recently been in contact with her or are in some sort of cahoots, expect a note with instructions on how to reach her. Basically, the note will tell you to contact her via messenger system. Francesco and Abel will receive notes saying only she thinks she is being spied on and to be very careful what is said to her on the network and to contact her via a messenger system she will set up. Duchess of Kiev, your note will be detailed that the terrorist group you discussed is watching her and a messenger system will be necessary if further communication is needed. There will be no trace of her network history existing.

My brother, the Cardinal dei Medici has returned. I do so hope, considering my involvement and information, that there will be no need towards violence against him.

There has been little other activity that I imagine I would have more intelligence on than yourselves.

[End Filter]

Cardinal Medici, are you settling in well? I have heard little else from you since our last chance to speak. There was more I was hoping to say.

Father Nightroad? Are you well? It has been quite some time since we last spoke and I regret withdrawing so reclusively into my apartments for the past few weeks.

The City has been blissfully quiet as of late and the evening seems pleasant enough for a walk through Xanadu.

Subjecting males to scorn and indignity is not going to win the female gender equality in the eyes of anyone. When negotiating for equality or rights of any type, one must remember that honey draws more flies than vinegar.

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 03:08:12 GMT

Tres, I do believe our child is awake. I do believe it is your turn to look in upon him.

Sat, 25 Aug 2007 05:00:23 GMT

Alec has left. I only hope he will be all right without either Francesco or myself there with him. Though, one never knows how time works while we are out of this world. Perhaps he has returned and it as though Francesco and myself never left.

His Holiness has departed from the City.

A lovely day, today. It seems, however, that the City Gods have been rather inconsistent with their choices in curse.

God.. there are children in that building.

No one of my world is there, fortunately enough.

One building out of many. The casualities, if any, would be at an insignificant percentage. And judging by the creatures that dwell in that place as well, at least 75% of the building occupants will survive.

That is ... acceptable.

I shall spend the evening in prayer, anyway.

[End Private]

Thu, 09 Aug 2007 15:05:07 GMT

Father Nightroad has left .. this, I won't even think about what this should mean. Could mean. I have my plans and I will follow them through. I will not allow my brothers to die.

I do not have their trust. Nor am I likely to gain it soon. The only thing I can do is work at the problem.

[Private to Panzermagier // Unhackable]

You asked for a detailed report of the happenings of the Vatican members here. I am sure you will be thoroughly disappointed, either that, or amused to know how little is truly going on.

Father Nightroad- Has apparently left the City for now. Though I can imagine his return will be forthcoming with his friend remaining here.

Cardinal dei Medici- Is in contact and alliance with the Vatican of another world. He has given His Holiness to them for safekeeping for now at a location he has refused to disclose to me.

Father Iqus- Has been dismissed as acting guard for His Holiness and returned to my service.

One of the reasons for my want to join your organization ~~again~~ is to keep my brothers from coming to harm. The Mission of the Orden is quite feasible without either of their deaths, especially now with my ability to manipulate circumstances within the Vatican at your disposal.
