"What's Happening?" On SNNNS

[SNNNS]

Diane sits in her chair fixing her hair as the camera slowly zooms in on her. She then turns her head towards the camera.

Good evening once again Sirius and welcome to Sirius Neural Net News Service broadcast, in your favorite show "Whats happening?". I am your host, Diane Richards.

Today we will continue on the most interesting topic that is the "Virulian Enclave". In our last show we found out interesting details about this group of individuals. In our show "Out on a Limb" by Michael Anderson, we were hosts to two guests and representatives for the Virulian Enclave.

Diane smiles a bit before continuing

Councilors Edward Zhane and Arch Bishop Ryodan explained to us that most of the claims made about the Virulian Enclave are untrue. They told us that claims which state the Enclave is a "Cult that wants world domination" are untrue and spoken by people who do not understand the Enclave.

Today we continue on that topic. Michael Anderson is host to another member of the Enclave in his show "Out on a Limb".

The screen then fades again to another man sitting in his chair.
The man smiles at the camera and begins.

Welcome once again, I'm Michael Anderson.

Yesterday, we brought you an interview from the 2 leaders of the Virulian Enclave.

That group of people trying to establish themselves, as a people, amongst the rest of the Sirian sector. It is rather interesting to see what life is like in this intriguing movement from the top, yet what is it like from the ground looking up?

-----------------------

Today I am joined by Prime Jake "Audax" Willis. Welcome Mr. Willis.

Audax bows

It is my pleasure to be here mister Anderson.
I am more then happy to help you further understand the Enclave.


Great, well let's get started.
As you probably know, we have interviewd both Councillors Ryodan and Zhane, both seemingly leaders within the Enclave. What would your position in the Enclave be, and a short history on how you got there?


My position? It is that of a loyal follower to my Lord's and the 'Creator' himself. And that I try to bring to those that are willing to follow me.

I am a member within the Corporis Caste, as I am sure you have already realized yourself.

Audax smiles a bit

As to how I got there, I was born a Virulian. My father, a member of the Corporis as well, thought me his own ways and I follow them.

My goal is to protect our ways and my Lord even at the expense of my own life, that determination was recognized by my Lord Zhane, and that is when he honored me with the position of a Prime.


So, in essence, you were born low, but have worked you way high. Congratulations are in order, I guess. Now, because of your past, your perspective is rather unique to Councillors Ryodan and Zhane.

I ask you as such, in your words, what would you define the purpose and mission of the Virulian Enclave to be?


Thank you for the kind words, but why would one live if not for the advancement of his own people and ways?

My perspective is not that unique, I would rather call it different for I do not rely on big speeches. What is the purpose and mission of the Enclave you ask me?

Our purpose is to find a place that we call our own, to have a home again. It is very simple, our purpose is to exist.


Very similiar messages to what Zhane and Ryodan provided. It seems you are all unified in your purpose. Now, as you stated before, you were born low. What is it like being on the front lines of the Enclave? What makes it so appealing to not only be apart of the Enclave, but to also be a soldier in the Coporis Caste?


How can one nation survive if it is not unified? It is the only way one can advance his life.

The Corporis body is no more appealing then the Animus, it is up to the individual to choose his own path and carve his destiny to serve the 'Creator'. We all serve him somehow, the faith is the same, only the way it is followed is somewhat different.

The Animus prefers to read books and teach others how to understand these books, the Corporis on the other hand teaches how to use faith and tools to protect their own kind if attacked. But that does not mean that the Corporis is not literate.

Audax smiles softly

At the end, we all follow the same faith.


Interesting, now you have mentioned this Creator.

As we have heard from the other two, it is you god, or your deity, the one in whom your revere as being the creator of all the artificial intelligences that you associate with. To you, a humble member of the Enclave, what does the notion of the Creator mean to you and how do you revere such an individual?


The 'Creator', a "being" which sent us the first and second Voice, the founding stone of our faith. As you can see by my appearance, the nanite technology is imbued into my flesh. It was imbued to me to better understand my own life and the faith which it follows.

How do you revere him? One cannot describe these things, for if one could make a logical understanding of it it would not be faith. You simply believe in it, as we all do.

Audax nods slightly

A man with strong convictions, truly admirable. A man with such convictions could answer such a following question.

As the virulian Enclave has been growing in influence and popularity amongst the various factions of Sirius, it has caught the eyes of many more, including what would prove to be such critics and dissidents. Now, they claim that the Enclave is no more that some distant, wayward group of people whom have managed to find the graces of the Zoners and are exploiting it.

Also, that the Enclave will soon exploit the rest of Sirius to, and i quote "...convert everyone to follow their 'Creator', willingly or by force, just to full their coffers..." End quote. What would you, a member of the lower echelons of the Enclave, have to say in response to these accusations?

Audax laughs slightly

Let me answer your question with another one, an example so to say.
Why do men fear darkness?

They fear it because they simply do not understand or see it clearly. But after one turns on the light to clear up the shadows, they realize that there is nothing to fear.

To force someone to believe in our faith goes against everything the 'Creator' stands for, against everything the Enclave stands for. We protect the Zoners and the home that they have given us with our own lives, that alone is answer enough to the people that make those claims.


Very good choice of words, Mr. Willis. Well, we have but a few more minutes. I'd like to leave the floor open for you to state anything you'd like to for Sirius to hear.


We are nothing more but people who wish to have a place which they can call home, that is the right, I believe of everyone. We are no different from others, except for our appearance, our faith, and the way in which we live our lives.

Long ago the Dark Spirits have destroyed our home, forced us to rebuild, and find ways to survive. We have survived, we are rebuilding, we have our faith. We do not live in fear anymore, for living in fear is not living at all.


Thank you, once again for joining me Mr. Willis. I wish you the best of luck. This is Michael Anderson reporting for SNNNS.

The picture fades again and Diane smiles as the camera pans back on her

And that concludes our show for tonight. Now we have all gotten a better view and understanding of what the Virulian Enclave is all about.

This is Diane Richards, for the SNNNS...
