The Prophecy Battlecruiser sped thru the early hours toward a destination unknown to the crew. Aboard the bridge, Vice-Admiral Archbishop could not sleep. After nearly a year of chasing the captive in his brig he had finally caught her near Kehour where she was planning another terrorist attack.
Khaminar Murino......
The beast was violently evil and killed three Amarrian soldiers before being captured. She would pay for her acts of violence against God's chosen. But Archbishop would not be her judge......
Slowly the Prophecy slowly approached an abandoned Amarrian station. What appeared to be pirates circling it ignored the massive Battlecruiser..... it was all an illusion.
Slowly the Prophecy entered what appeared to be an abandoned docking bay. Inside told another story. A blue light filled the interior as men in black uniforms worked feverishly unloading cargo from various industrial ships. Slowly the ship moved into a bay and stopped. A large retracting docking mechanism moved a pressurized walkway to the golden hulled warship securing with a loud hiss as the seal fit tightly.

The golden door of the Prophecy opened and Archbishop strode out followed by two PIE marines. Moving toward the end of the walkway he noticed three black robed men at the end. Cloaks hid their faces and the light cast an ominous shadow on the men. Still Archbishop felt at home among the true soldiers of God.
"Welcome Admiral welcome" said one man holding out his hand and grasping Archbishops. They shook hands as old friends as the Admiral nodded toward the Prophecy airlock. A large cage containing an angry looking Minmatar woman was floating over on anti-gravity pads followed by four Kaimera armed with large laser rifles. The woman looked in a stupor but still furious as she saw the Admiral from PIE.
"You bastard you will die a thousand deaths!" said the woman as she spat at Archbishop.
"I think not you beast" he replied wiping the spittle off his robe.
"I read about your Society of Enlightenment...... you won't convert me and make me a slave" she screamed at him as she tried to bend the Titanium bars in a futile gesture of resistance.
"Who said anything about the Society of Enlightenment?" said Archbishop smiling almost menacingly.
Slowly the Minmatar looked around. She noticed the three black robed men..... the large cages surrounding the loading dock..... the large prod sticks in the hands of the guards......
"What is this place? You bastard! What are you doing to me?" she screamed more in panic as she realized she was not just in a jail.
"Why I'm turning you over to people who know how to extract any an all information from an enemy. People who are even more religious then myself. People who have an unquestioned faith in God and the Emperor...... You might call them...... Oh well its of no importance." he said as he backed away.
A blackrobed man walked up to her and stuck the electroprod into the cage. She was stunned by the jolt and flew into the bars her body spasming with involuntary muscle cramps and contractions. She had never felt anything like that before.
"You will be silent slave or you will be punished." the man said as he looked at the Minmatar on the floor of the cage. "You will tell us what we want to know and you will serve God and Amarr someday. You have no choice".
She looked around terrified. This was no Amarrian jail. This was something much worse. While her terrorist heart beat with hatred for the Amarr she had never seen such fanaticism before. She felt like these were almost the Amarrian version of her fanatical Minmatar comrades.
Archbishop bowed and walked back to the Prophecy. The black robed men bowed in return as the cage was led off.
Leaving the station the Admiral set a course for Amarr Emperor Station. Time for some meditation. Time for prayer. Soon all would be revealed and nothing would be the same.

Quote: To Archbishop: The scenes I have seen you send today are in direct violation of your own SPCS guidelines. The blood of many innocents will be heavy upon your hands, for the bloodrage I feel building in my own people is beyond any I can temper.
Archbishop read the public broadcast of terrorist Sarkos with amusement. Surely Sarkos had heard of the dismantling of the SPCS. Archbishops own announcement that the new Amarrian Slave Traders Association was being formed had mentioned this. The SPCS had served its purpose. But Archbishop had realized with each passing day some were right...... he was too kind to these slaves. Now they would have no choice..... find God or else. It was the right of Amarrian Slavers to treat their own slaves as they saw fit. Slaves coddled and spoiled were more likely to have freetime to rebel. He could treat them with a firmer hand and still not mistreat them.
But the Vice-Admirals thoughts drifted back to the day before.... of the visit to the abandoned station in ...... his memory opened up to the past.....
He remembered his first visit six months ago to the abandoned station. Several representatives of the Theology Council bearing the seal of the Emperor had approached him with a secret communicae. Archbishop had been put in a luxurious but secure internal suite aboard a frigate and flown there totally unaware of his destination. Once arrived he was given a tour of the "facility".
He had never seen such a place and while initially repulsed by some of what he saw he soon came to realize these were the most faithful, the most pious, the most loyal of the Emperor. They were doing His work where others dare not tread. He left the station two days later still absorbing all he had seen.
Soon he began performing little missions for the Emperors faithful. Occasional pickups and deliveries to a mysterious Imperial Armageddon Battleship. The fact these men possessed such a vessel in itself was proof of their loyalty to the Emperor.
"So...... It seems I've struck a nerve" he said smiling as he read the intelligence reports. The spies of Amarr had indicated Khaldorn Murino had to be sedated. While reports were sketchy it appears this Khaminar was a relative of his. He had always suspected it but the inbreeding of the beasts made a determination of any family lineage difficult.
Archbishop went back to his meal. It was out of his hands now anyway. The Order would have their way with the terrorist and she would reveal all she knew about the rebelious Minmatar organization. She would be left a beaten slave, broken in spirit and will, loyally dedicated to God.
Now that THEY had her there was little hope for her.

The day had started perfectly for Archbishop. First word that the production of ammunition at his new Ashab slave farm had tripled with the new motivational techniques he had implimented then word that cousin Monsignor had received a very special assignment.
Sitting back in his study the Vice-Admiral of PIE looked over the days reports. Paperwork was a never ending chore for a flag officer. Suddenly his attache rushed in.
"Sir.. a private communicae on scrambled frequency.. from..." the young Lieutenant looked nervous as Archbishop suddenly focused all his attention on the call.
"Put it through and leave me" said the cloaked Admiral. He watched as the young officer left the room. Against the far wall a painting of the late Emperor Doriam visiting slave children rose into the wall revealing a large monitor. The picture became fuzzy then the image of a black cloaked man appeared.
"Greetings Lord Admiral Archbishop, servant of the Empire" the man said as he bowed. Archbishop rose from his seat and returned the bow then sat back down.
"I have a report for you. While free of the burden of dealing with this terrorist I wanted to keep you posted of our progress" said the robed man as Archbishop raised an eyebrow.
"Most kind please continue" he replied.
"The interogation is proceeding slowly. A fierce opponent this one is. Already we've had to recharge our stunprods for overuse." the man smiled almost sinisterly.
"That is ..... unfortunate....." said Archbishop returning the grin.

"But things go well my friend. Already we learned of an enemy communications frequency. Monitoring it today led to a great Amarrian victory over terrorists" the man said as a replay behind him showed black uniformed Amarrian soldiers mowing down rebels under withering laser fire.
"Excellent.... they will all meet God and answer for their crimes!" said Archbishop. His newfound enthusiasm for his work mounting.
"As we speak Admiral the Viscount is attempting to extract information from the beast. We've allowed her some clothes and food to bring up her confidence....." the picture changed and showed a white robed man interogating the prisoner.
"Once she is comfortable... we will make her very uncomfortable" the man said smiling.
"I am sure you will" replied Archbishop as he watched the interogation proceed. Then the picture was replaced with the image of the man again.
"The plan is proceeding as forseen Admiral. Soon we shall move her to a more secure location. From there she will not return. Such is the way of the Lord" said the mysterious man.
"So it is. God will have his vengence upon the sinners of Matar" replied Archbishop as he raised his wine glass in toast. Rising he said "May our Empire find a new Emperor soon and may your service not go in vain". The man nodded and said a simple "Thank you... and you as well my old friend".
Both nodded to each other as the screen faded to static. The picture of Doriam lowered from the ceiling as Archbishpo sat down and contemplated his new feelings about his work. Gone was the caring generous slave owner of the SPCS. In his place was a new man, dedicated to God and Empire above all else, at whatever the cost. No longer would he be lulled into a sense that the beasts were somehow worthy in the least. He had seen the light.

I have all the humanity toward Amarrians possible. The only difference is now I no longer coddle the beasts in my charge. I myself still treat them kindly. In this case however this slave is also a terrorist thus even if the SPCS were still in existence she would not be protected by its guidelines..... and they were "guidelines" not laws.
My personal herd of 78,000+ slaves still have a very high standard of living and are treated very well. The difference is now I will not be lulled into a false sense of security thinking kindness will turn them toward God.
Recently some slaves of mine rebelled. Led by a Seibestor who I thought was a loyal trustee they killed several guards and slaver hounds and set fire to the dorm where they were housed. I had no idea they were planning this. Yet all the free time I offered them obviously left them time to plot the attack. All the kindness I showed them and opportunities for scripture studies were for naught as they rampaged through the plantation.
I take the blame for this. My blindness toward the true nature of the beasts is responsible. I still treat the slaves with humanity BUT I also recognize their inherent inferiority and tendency toward evil. No longer will unrestricted freetime be allowed. No longer will any Minmatar type tribal traditions be tolerated. No longer will I trust any Minmatar to help police the herds. The rank of Trustee no longer exists in my world. They are all slaves. Until they reach true enlightenment and are released as Ammatar I will not be fooled again.
So you see I am very humane Sarkos. The only difference is I've also opened my eyes.

I myself have not completely given up the Pax Amarria. I am still humane but more vigilant in dealing with my own livestock. I myself do not advocate some of the harsher random beatings and gladiator games of some slavers.
Still I also realize a terrorist is much different from a slave. At least at first before they're converted.
As for the people I've developed contacts I disavow any knowledge of thier actions. They are not part of the CVA. Indeed Admiral Gaven Lok'ri is correct the backlash resulting from the murder of Doriam II has created a new climate of vengence in some Amarr. As a peaceful reformer Doriam II should've been honored by other races. Instead he was murdered.
It is no fault of ours if some factions of Amarrian society take this personally and as a result develop "other" approaches to deal with threats to the Empire.

"Admiral an urgent message" the communications officer shouted as the Prophecy TES Divine Retribution sped toward Amarr.
"Ill take it in my office" said Vice-Admiral Archbishop as he rose from his command chair and walked through the double golden doors bearing the crest of Amarr into his private office. Standing before the desk he said "Computer, open secure communication, Archbishop beta seven three nine". "Identity confirmed" said the computer as a screen moved down from the ceiling.
A black robed figure appeared on the screen.
"Admiral... how are you feeling today?" asked the robed figure.
"I am well... better than in ages... why do you ask?" replied the Admiral smiling slightly.
"Well we had heard some reports of strange goings on at one of your plantations" said the cloaked man as two others joined him on the screen.
"I have come to realize that slavery is the epitome of Enlightenment and to do our best as Slavers we must bring all slaves to God. I have merely made the choice that brutality has no place in my herds.". The cloaked men looked puzzelled.
"So what of your work for us?" one asked as the other nodded slowly.
"Don't worry. I will not forget my duty to the Empire. I serve the Emperor and His will" replied Archbishop.
"That is good. We were worried. By the way the interogation of Khaminar Murino is nearly complete". One of the black robed men said as the others smiled beneath their hoods.
"Oh really... have you obtained any useful information?" asked the Admirl suddenly interested.
"Yes we have. Our methods are a bit harsh but bore much fruit from the tree of intelligence. Now the slave is of no use to us. We are going to terminate her".
Archbishop thought for a moment. True the slave was a terrorist and deserved to die a thousand deaths.
"Will you give her to me instead? I would like the opportunity to turn her into a truly enlightend soul". asked Archbishop.
"An interesting proposal. Can you care for her?" asked the man. "Yes of course. I have over 78,000 slaves. What is one more?".
"Hmmm it might be a good symbol. Imagine the sister of Khaldorn Murino a compliant servant of God" the black robed man said as his two comrades nodded in agreement.
"Yes I think that can be arranged. I will send a courier with infomation regarding transfer of the prisoner. I am sure she will serve you well".
"Thank you" said Archbishop bowing to the man.
The screen blacked to static then off and silently rose into the ceiling. Archbishop knew he had a challenge ahead. But he knew turning the sister of Khaldorn Murino into an enlightend happy slave would send a powerful symbol to all Minmatar that God was beyond resistance.

Walking back onto the bridge of the Battlecruiser Archbishop nodded to his communications officer. "Open a channel to Chaven" he ordered. "Aye sir" came the response from the young Ensign.
A figure appeared on the screen standing on a platform elevated near what appeared to be a large construction project.
"Yes my Lord?" said the foreman as Archbishop sat in his command chair.
"How goes the construction?" asked the Admiral. The foreman turned and nodded as the camera panned back to show what appeared to be several large dorm buildings under construction.
"Very well my Lord as you can see. The dorms will be complete next week and ready for the slaves to move in to".
"Excellent! With such accomodations the slaves will remain healthy. No more pens and holding sheds. My slaves will live and study in the comfort of the finest slave dorm in Amarr!". Archbishop smiled as he watched the scene on the camera. Below the platform several slaves were looking at the construction drones assembling the building and talking excitedly. He could see they were amazed at their new accomodations.
"Will there be anything else my Lord?" asked the foreman as the camera panned back to a closeup of him on the platform.
"Yes. I am expecting a new slave to be delivered in about a week. This is a very special slave. One who has been interogated...... by....... The Order".
The foreman gasped at the mention of the sacred Order of the Emperor.
"I'm sure she is not in the best of condition but she has provided the Empire with valuable intelligence she gained while a terrorist" continued the Admiral.
"Is this the terrorist I heard rumors about? Is she really the sister of..." "Yes she is" Archbishop cut him off in mid sentence.
"I realize he is a terrorist. But she is here to be enlightend. While we will watch her we must realize her well being and enlightenment take top priority. When she arrives have her transported to the medical facilities immediately. She will undoubtedly need care".
"Yes my Lord" said the foreman.... still in disbelief at what he was hearing.
"She will be welcomed into my herd and enlightend. Someday she may even become Ammatar and be freed. While The Order had their own methods of discipline we shall not take that road. As long as she is compliant we will treat her as any other slave" Archbishop emphazised the point by slamming his fist on the armrest of his command chair.
"I understand Admiral. It will be as you have ordered" said the foreman.
"Very well. Thank you" said the Admiral as the screen faded back to a starview.
The bridge crew looked puzzled at the recent turn of events. Their Admiral was for a time angry at the world, but now things were different, he had regained his focus and purpose.
Archbishop stood and left the bridge. Making the short walk to his quarters he entered the suite and stood looking out the viewport as the ship entered warp. Stars flew by the window as the Battlecruiser headed for Sarum Prime.
Sitting on a gilded sofa he reached over and took a bottle of wine from a small cooler. Pouring himself a glass he sat back and thought about the future that awaits Khaminar Murino. His newest slave was certain to be hostile after her experience with The Order.
The Order... the secret society of the Emperors servants. Sworn to loyalty with their lives. Once Archbishop felt he could become one of them. But now, seeing God again as he did in his youth, he knew there was another way. He would always be a servant of God and Emperor and always obey His will. But he would always be a man of God as well.

The new Apocalypse class Battleship TES Holy Vengence, flagship of Vice-Admiral Archbishop, cruised through Hedion on its way to Chaven. Sitting aboard the bridge in his command chair Archbishop of PIE Corporation relaxed as he watched the starfield move slowly toward the ship on the view screen. The crew of his primary ship, a Prophecy Battlecruiser, numbered 1,450 Amarrian faithful. These officers and crew transferred temporarily between ships while a permanent company of 5,646 Amarrians were assigned to the Apocalypse fulltime.
From several tiers below the control platform a voice sounded out "Sir, incoming communication from Dr. Venkash". The chief communications officer patched through the signal to the port viewscreen and the visage of an Amarrian doctor towered over the bridge.
"Admiral, the patient will be ready to move in five days, can you arrange pickup?" the doctor asked. In the background could be seen a Minmatar woman resting quietly on a bed in a cell.
"Yes that will be fine, say in six days, I will send a small fleet to transport the slave to my pens on Chaven" Archbishop replied. "I hope she is doing well?" he asked.
"Yes she is recovering nicely". Looking back nervously he whispered "They tried to take her again to interogate but I stopped them". The doctor quickly looked around again before nodding.
"Oh really? I was under the assumption they had extracted what they needed?".
"Yes sir, but I think this was purely for punishment, that is why I was successful in stopping them" the doctor replied.
"Thank you Doctor and keep me posted. I shall send a fleet to pickup the patient in six days. I will inform you of the exact time shortly". Archbishop concluded as he watched the doctor bow on the viewscreen. Arcbishop nodded in reply and the signal ended.
Soon the slave would begin the long process of enlightenment. While she would resist he was determined to show her the grace and gifts of a loving God. She would be enlightend. It was her destiny.
