Deus Ex Machina

[Serpentis]

Chapter 1
The begining of the end

Location: Outcast space, system Omicron Alpha, planet Malta, Meani Desert, 20 miles below surface level.

Log, sixteenhundred and fifty four.
Curate M.Remal

Ive, been charged with categorizing the section handling House economics and organizations, it's a very boring work, one of which I must admit I feel a little angered about, surely the priests could charge an acolyte with this?

-sighs-

But who am I to intepret the thoughts of the priests, me a simple Curate, I am to be a scholar, a priest one day, that is my dream and until that day I will do as the ones above me ask me to.

The gathering last night was great, I even got a chance to talk to my sister, whos becomming a Vicar soon, im so proud of her, and she said that she was proud of me. Not that I understand why, I have nothing but failed in my studies and work, ever since we came here from Bretonia, ive just failed over and over again, alltough the others above me and those that have been studying with me, they all pushed me to try more and stay calm. This is truly the place where I belong, and who would have thought me and my sister, who lived a life of drifters in a freighter in Bretonia would come to be accepted into the Enclave, the religious order that have been hidden within Malta, the planet of the Outcasts..

Now, I havent been told of why some of us are to take the Cardamine, yet some others don't have to, all I know is that it's required for those of us that undergo the cybernetic treatments of the Deacons and Arch Deacons..

Im kind of happy that I was entrusted with the neural limplant, that links me to the collective, the database all Virulians have access to, just by thinking it I can look up what ever I want, of course, that is if the database is cluttered with scrap, which is why I catagorize the data. Important, sure. Dull & boring, of course..
