"Thomas Aquintas. He was.. a rather typical jet black haired outcast of italian descent when I met him. His father ran the cult as the teacher of faith on the human side.
Master teacher... or Mar Sarra. There was interest in psychoanalysis to people forcing themselves into cardamine withdrawal in the cult.. They paid well and frankly how many junkers were you going to come across with these credentials.
It was odd.. many of the patients were human.. some were cybernetically enhanced agents.. slaves that.. for better or worse were used in areas jameson has left alone or let die. The cult wouldn't come out and say it but I had the feeling there was an rivalry there... jameson was a staunch atheist and was smart enough to stay out of the way of the families. He kept the sectors troubles from piercing the social bubble on malta.
At that time though i was able to reverse what was implanted manchurian type conditioning in these people.. and I can only hope led healthy lives after.
The next time was about three years after.. Ishtar and Liam contacted me in relation to another strange outbreaks of cannibalism amongst a orbiting colony in omicron 81. The interesting part was I mostly worked with thomas who.. has a strange ability to calm these frenzied people.. As it turned out the cardamine wasn't only contaminated but wasn't really cardamine at all. Syllisiban and and type of muscle stimulant was being fed on purpose to these people.
Thomas has possessed a type of...empathy.. that could calm and cajole those around him.. I had seen this before once in Zoner circles.. I can only guess it was a type of inherited telepathy.
While again never learning the details it wasn't hard to guess that the cult has its enemies on malta and from time to time while many of them had advanced knowledge in many fields.. clinical psychology was a hole I filled in often.
We would keep in contact and.. sometime after jameson's exile I was given the old books of the wyrding way.. or what the cult used to i guess indoctrinate higher members.
It was a mess.. a very very long line of stories written by one teacher to the next.. Well written but lacking substance.
Year later i gave them the Book of the Fading Dawn. the summarised book out of 18 books thomas gave me. he read it. Loved it and he's loved me ever since.
I produced one more smaller book The Way.. that was the first edition the 5th editions is what's out now amongst the seekers and in the bookstores.
It was around the 2nd edition i met Campbell. Campbell is a Dark skinned guy from los Angeles I'm not too sure if the stuff i dug up on him was 100% accurate but he gets the philosophy and is usually vary light handed with me.. though I've seen him straight up order around windcaller like they were cattle. So its hard to place him.. I suspect if they ever learn of this he will be a dead man. ... the Oracles don't hesitate to discard failures... which raises my unease..
I mean sure.. I shoulda known better like 8 years ago but it was always there in the background... never saw the ugly side of it.. fully till these recent years.. And as Thomas is now.. without a nose.. Hes.. well. to say Mutated would be a kindness.. Hes no longer what youd call.. infected.. I've seen some terrible examples of infectees.. this is a whole other level of frankenstein..
Where his little.. parlor trick was innerving enough.. He can convert crowds just by being there.. The indoctrination is.. its.. "
*he struggled to phrase it..*
"Supernatural. "
*he moved on mentally to campbell*
"As for campbell all his informations in my contact book. Password is Hoo Haa"
