Garret Darkwood takes a toast of San Robertos Tequilla for the future of Sutica

Garret Darkwood sits in his offices, as reports of deaths come filing in from multiple families. He then stops when reading over the missive, like a deer in headlights, as he then begins to mentally break down. He slams his hand on the table so hard that he cracks the table and breaks his hand "DAMNIT" Garret Darkwood screams. He then moves to the church to pray for 4 hours, crying for another 10 he then softly states "I will see you in the seven skies cousin"

Padre Javier and Bishop Hernando Altamirano smile from the seven skies

Director Garret Darkwood files the letter for evidence on this entire case, he then takes a sip of tea for his splitting headache he has dealing with this matter.

Garret Darkwood takes a look at the missive and rolls his eyes sighing deeply "And here we go again" Garret then begrudgingly returns to the MoJ HQ to begin investigations.

Agent Garret Darkwood looks at the missive nodding and chuckling "To think I would be working alongside them even 5 years prior to this would be inconceivable, GOD is the true healer and uniter."

Garret Darkwood would be trying to follow this entire thing going on, realizing that he is at a loss he then sighs and goes back to MoJ HQ.

Garret Darkwood nods at the ruling "A fair judgement, the moment we see her we will excise justice immediately but for now, she can run but she cannot hide"

Garret Darkwood takes a break from winning battles to read the letter he nods and signs the Lorraine in agreement "I pray every day for the conversion of Heathens, however I must defend people like the little girl who was nearly bowed to death in Providence by these heartless heathens. They will come to us, we will show them mercy, until then I give myself to be an instrument of GODs wrath, and defend our way of life, our holy see, and GOD himself. When duty calls I will pay my price, for the Empire I will give my life" Garret Darkwood looks up to the banner of the Holy Orenian Empire, in the distance the Basilica in Providence, he then kneels in prayer then stands up and Salutes the banner and runs back into the war against the Heathens.

Garret Darkwood returns from the battle wiping blood off of his blade "Next stop, Norland the heathens den"

Garret Darkwood walks out of the streets of Providence into the basilica gardens, sitting there phased for 2 hours, seeing the blood on his hands he softly states "They targeted women, and children younger than my own children, Joseph D'Azor took an arrow in the chest for a young child." Garret Darkwood then spends the next 4 hours praying in the Gardens for the souls of the departed "These Nordlings have proven they will stop at nothing to destroy everything. We asked for peace, they gave us war then they kill our children." Garret sits and seethes for another hour before standing up and wiping the blood from his sword "This is the fight for our lives, the fight for our existence. These Apostates have proven that they wish not only to destroy Oren, and the holy see, but they have proven that they want to kill all. We must stop this, we must fight and more importantly we must WIN. OREN AUT MORTEM" Garret Darkwood then runs to the forge to sharpen his blade for another fight.

Director of IBI Garret Darkwood signs the Lorraine when reading the notice "If it is the last thing I do I will find and place to justice those who killed our high pontiff. So be it, so help me GOD. Every officer, resource, piece of information that we have is at the disposal of the holy mother church that helps find these murderers. "

Director Garret Darkwood nods in agreement with the paper stating "For the Emperor, For my children, for my family, for GOD, for all that is good and right and just in this world. We must fight and more importantly we must WIN"

Three Hyspian men nod from the Seven Skies saying in unison "Tomorrow there'll be more of us" They state as they go back to partying with Jude II in the seven skies

Garret Darkwood laughs uncontrollably at the letter to the point of tears "These apostates think I am incapable of reading yet refuse to read themselves! I never said that the Resistance was behind the Pontiffs murder. Perhaps they should read next time, oh and the audacity to think that the Secret Service killed the pontiff is next level, and I ordered the halt of all low level investigations and threw every resource the IBI had into investigating the pontiffs tragic murder. Alas, these apostates don't have an interest in justice rather in defaming Oren, for shame. The Norlanders wish to see my and my family murdered and killed, and they want to get all high and mighty, holy than thou, there is nothing and never will be anything holy in Norland." Garret Darkwood then uses the letter to light a forge, smelting steel to be turned into swords to be taken into battle against Norland

"Father Basil, you have seem to be mistaken let me help clear this up. We cannot confirm as of now that the Resistance is behind the murder of Jude II. However we know that they are behind the kidnaping of Jude II in Osanora, this report does not accuse them of murdering Jude II, this report documents their crimes that are confirmed. I thank you for your concern about the safety of the people of Providence. Now as for the body stealing, that is still under investigation" "As I said to the good Father Basil, this report is not connected to the murder of Jude II, the resistance has not been confirmed as to having ties. Rather about the murder of a Bishop and kidnapping of the pontiff Jude II in Osanora now as for your accusations that you have levied against Oren. We asked for Peace, multiple times reached out in peace, multiple times. And we have only gotten war, isn't calling for peace a sign of virtue? As for the citizens of Elysium who got caught in the crossfire, we all weep for those who are innocent that have been harmed. We have tried to talk to Norland multiple times to no avail they are barbarians that seek to destroy us. We are fighting to defend our lives, will the church defend us when need be? "

RESISTANCE AGAINST WHO? Artist Depiction of the attack on the late Holy Pontiff Jude II in Osanora prior to his kidnapping This is not new, we have been through this before, many have tried to take on the Empire, many have failed, one more has failed. This pathetic, measly, weak “Resistance” against Oren, though they aren’t Orenian, and no resisting has been done, has crumbled and faded into history, not with the glorious trumpets of time, but with the whimper of a dog, into the sunset. These barbarians have marauded our lands, killed our people, kidnapped the pontiff and murdered our clergymen. Cowering behind the apostate state of Norland, not hearing a word from them, as they fade into nothing. Let them be an example to all who target the innocent and prey upon the weak. We will not stop until you are beaten, demoralized, crumbled into a dust of which you will never return from. These heathens first murdered bishops and priests, then targeted the Holy Pontiff. Then they had the audacity to try to burn our streets and cities down. Such a plan was foiled by the brave men and women of the Imperial Secret Service, the Imperial Constabulary, and the Imperial State Army. Their leader Ser Gustavsen hides in Norland, afraid to come out of his home. Forever hunted, for his crimes against Oren, his crimes against Man, and his crimes against GOD. Once again we have beaten our enemies and Secured a peaceful future for our children. Free from the terrorist barbarians that is the Resistance. OREN AUT MORTEM. Signed, The Right Honorable Garret Darkwood, Director of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation and Agent of the Imperial Secret Service.

Garret Darkwood signs the lorraine while preparing for battle "We will defend not just our home, not just our Empire, but the Holy see and GOD himself. We shall and we WILL. Deus Vult, Oren Aut Mortem"

Garret Darkwood reads over the notice as tears well up in his eyes reading it "This is what we fight for, this is what Oren is. A place where all who seek it, shall find it. Where the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breath free can indeed breath free" Garret Darkwood then looks over at this Fiance and two children, he then breaths in and runs to the bastion for training "This, I'll defend till my last full measure of devotion, Oren Aut Mortem"

Ven. Padre Javier see's his old friend in GOD come up to the Seven skies he then dips his head stating "Hola Amigo, here we shall stay, most pleasantly" Padre Javier then pours out a drink of Hyspian Tequilla and begins a fiesta Jose Mendez bows his head in respect and prays in the Haense church "We lost a titan of GOD today"

QUICK, SOMEONE HIDE THE ORENIAN NUCLEAR ARMS PROGRAM BEFORE MODERATION FINDS OUT

Thesis on Authority Jose Mendez, Acolyte My brothers and sisters in faith, have asked this question, many times throughout all time, what is the greatest threat to our faith, our lifestyle. GOD himself. Is it the apostate in Norland, wishing to destroy our faith, the heretic taking part in unvirtuous deeds behind closed doors? Nay I say to these, the greatest threat that faces our religion, are those who seek themselves above GOD. The leader, the monarch, the mortal, that seeks to control those who claim that they speak for GOD, rather than focus on the people of which they find themselves above. That, THAT is the true evil that is the greatest threat to the holy mother church, THAT is our biggest threat. Not the powers of the outside wanting to destroy the inside, but the powers of the inside, poisoning us, and killing us. A house of which falls from the outside, can always be rebuilt, but a house of which was destroyed from the inside. Will be irreversibly broken, and unable to be rebuilt. Throughout history we have seen many leaders seek to place themselves above GOD, and all have ended in ways of which were not dignified. As the scroll of virtue states, “ Lo and attend, for I am the Lord GOD, and I am in the foremost part of heaven. Though the spring flower withers and the fruit of the tree falls to the ground, My Word lasts into the eve of the world, and the fruit of virtue cannot rot.” The scroll states that there is no one above GOD, it calls to the very foundations of our belief, and our duty as members of the flock of GOD to ensure that our leaders, and all mortals obey such foundational beliefs. The greatest damage one could do is the claiming to be above GOD, by in leadership performing non virtuous deeds deliberately, one will destroy not just their nation, but the faith in GOD with the nation itself. By using the word of GOD to benefit themselves for their own personal gain, squeeze the common man out of their money or living, that is the biggest threat to the holy mother church. For it is our leaders, if they take advantage of others, that violate the trust of the common people, Like with all words, they can be twisted, turned to benefit one's own cause, and these words are like all other words. Many may wonder, how must we determine if a leader is trying to paint themselves above GOD? Firstly, GOD has made all of us in his image, he has made it imperfect, with flaws like everything else. Since we are all flawed people, our leaders shall be flawed, their flaws is what makes them the mortals of which GOD has created us. There is a main difference in mistakes of which hold no mal intent, and mal intent which hold no mistakes. If a leader has a lapse in judgement and virtue, it is our duty to call out. If a leader is unvirtuous it is our duty to critique them, if a leader is intentionally squeezing the populous, it is our duty to overthrow them by any means necessary, to preserve the virtue of our sacred institutions. So in conclusion my brothers and sisters, it is not the heathen that poses our most lethal threat, but our leaders from within, their corruption. If we do not hold our leaders accountable then our civilization is doomed to fall, and if we do not overthrow the leaders trying to be above GOD, then we will be doomed to damnation.

BEHOLD, THE UNDERWATER INATOR

"Much agreed" Stated Director Darkwood. As he turns to a law clerk "A lesson on defamation, run with it"

Garret Darkwood looks at the missive his mouth drops, he then whoops for joy seeing his children then hugging them, he then states "Perhaps war won't come to our two great nations. GOD bless Haense GOD bless Oren. GOD BE WITH THE CANONIST CHURCH"
