Pope Herman Von Thaller I of the Mississippian Roman Catholic Church has ordered the Public Morality Police and the Misisssippian Inquisition to launch a full investigation into the activities of the "Society of Enlightened Men" (also known as the Society of Learned Men, or the Learned Men, or Most Learned or Most Enlightened) and the so-called "Council of Twelve"


At a press conference, Roger Fabus was speaking to a crowd, his father was sitting off to the side of the podium, he seemed to be concentrating hard on something, as his son spoke... Roger smiled, and then frowned, as though he was confused, before he said, "These recent charges from the church, against the Society of Enlighthened Men, are nothing more than atrocious lies and falsehoods... The SOEM is a group that has a long history of bettering Mississippi by working to get back to the traditional religious values the people hold so dear."


Roger shook his head and walked away, excusing himself from the press conference because his head hurt. He saw Alice was waiting for him in the back of the stage, she frowned, "Roger, that wasn't your speech at all... What happened?"

He sighed, "I don't know... I just don't know."



Meanwhile, the pope has ordered the PMP to arrest, "Any and all" suspected members of the Society of Enlightened Men who are in the inner circle or on the edge of the inner circle. Most of the 111s will be exempted from the arrest orders, and most of the 33s and most of the 12s are not even known as to who they are. All that is known is that Baldur Von Schacht, Curtis Fabus, Bertrand Navarre, and Reginald Smith are all in the inner circle of the SOEM, but their status is not known as to whether they are 12s, 33s, or 111s.



The pope has therefore ordered the four men arrested and detained, to be brought before Papal Headquarters for questioning.

Thaller has stated, "If there is indeed abomination at work here, they will be punished and punished most severely... I have received word from credible sources that the influences of neo-paganism run deep in the SOEM..."

*Tag*

Baldur, Reginald, Bertrand, and Curtis had all been detained and were in the dungeon of the Inquistorial Headquarters. They were being kept from using their powers by being placed in rooms laced with strontium and cobalt, something about those two elements together in the right proportions, was enough to disrupt their abilities to use their powers. The pope had been told to do that by an anonymous letter from Kahta.


The first man to be questioned was Reginald Smith, they dragged him out before the pope, the room he was being questioned in was also laced with strontium and cobalt.

Thaller's voice boomed, "What are you?"

Smith spat, "I am a Mississippian, and a Field Marshal in the Republican Guard..."

The pope frowned, "And what of the Council of Twelve?"

Smith shook his head, "I've never heard of that, I know not of what you speak..."

The pope waved his hand and two of the guards dragged Smith off down into the dungeon, after six hours of prodding him with sharpened sticks, dumping boiling hot water all over his chest and his back, attaching electrodes to his body parts, and finally stretching him on a rack, he was asked one last time, by an interrogator, "Are you in the council of twelve?" he broke into tears and cried, "Yes... Yes... I am, just stop, stop..." Had the room not been laced with cobalt and strontium, he'd have been able to use his powers to either escape or his body wouldn't have even felt the pain, but it was too much for him..

Two of the guards helped him off the rack and dragged him back before the pope.

Thaller glared at the broken wreck of a man before him, "Who are you collaborators?" he asked.

Smith shook his head, "I won't tell you."


One of the guards jammed a sharpened metal rod, into his leg, the rod was seering hot. He screamed in pain, "Damn you!" then another rod was jammed into his other leg, it had been dipped in Nitric Acid, the most deadly thing to those enhanced by IG-BS Virus. He let out an inhuman shriek of pain, it sounded almost reptilian.

He quickly closed his mouth as the pope jumped from his seat shouting, "Abomination! Abomination!" before sitting back down, whispering, "What foul abomination is this?", and then making the sign of the cross and starting to pray.

Posts 101 and up deal with some interesting issues.

Pope Herman Von Thaller has announced to the world, "Witchcraft and sorcery, and all sorts of twisted abominations run deep in the so-called Society of Enlightened Men, and more so in the Council of Twelve. The Public Morality Police have been ordered to arrest anybody who is connected with the Council of Twelve."

Speaking via the White Peoples Radio and Television Network, the Pope declared, "We will begin to purify the Society of Enlightened Men, through fire and wood so that their souls may be cleansed of their sin..."

In the central square of Jackson City, over eight hundred stakes were being readied to burn the top members of the SOEM.


Meanwhile at the Inquisitorial Headquarters, the Pope was walking back and forth in front of Curtis, who was kneeling on the ground, being held down by two guards. Thaller smiled, "It is simple, you shall turn over this, Necronomicon, or you shall burn at the stake... The choice is yours. Relinquish the book to me so that it can be sealed within this building or destroyed, or you die. The choice is yours... And as for another matter, who else has been altered into abomination, tell me..."

After having endured six hours of torture, Curtis was in an awful condition and in no mood for more, he struggled to talk, "Yuna, of Sevaris... The Czar, the Czarina, and my daughter Victoria in Kahta..."


The pope gasped, "The Czar and Czarina? Can this abomination be reversed?"

Curtis nodded, and meekly whispered, "Yes... It can... But Schacht... Schacht is the only one who can do it..."



The rest of the council, the eight members that had escaped arrested, assembled in the "Hall of Twelve" inside the "Lodge", three thousand feet below the ground. They were going to start the ritual to make Gregory into the host for the god the dead, Osiris, well that was the plan anyway... The council had believed by getting back to the old Aryan religions that they could find their way, but they had no idea that they were being misled by Satan himself.

Gregory touched the altar the book was in and suddenly as the others were saying their incantations, an incredible surge of energy could be felt throughout the room, when they were done speaking, they could see that Gregory's eyes were glowing bright green and then finally a brighter red than ever before.

Gregory spoke in a voice not his own, "Where am I?"

Konig stepped forward, saluted, and shouted, "Lord Osiris, you are in Mississippi... sir..."

Gregory smiled, a smiled far to devious and far to wide to be anything other then an ominous sign of the evil he was going to sow. "Mississippi... Good, where is my book? I want you to get me my book, and raise forth and army of the undead..."

Pope Herman Von Thaller I has officially declared a crusade against the Society of Enlightened Men. Calling on the faithful to, "Destroy this foul and wicked order of men that has for so long hidden behind the mask of pious Christianity."



Meanwhile, in the "Hall of Twelve", the eight of the twelve that were there greeted "Osiris" as he took over Gregory... Only Schacht knew what it truly was, his master, Satan.

Schacht smiled as he his master's voice in his head, "I have returned, where are my commanders?"

Schacht said aloud, knowing he could hear him, "They will not follow you unless they are kept under the delusion that you are the ancient god of the aryans of Egypt, here to save us from jewry..."

Satan (Gregory) smiled, "Ah yes, well I shall be there to set you loose, for your services to me shall not go unrewarded."


Gregory then smiled, "General Schacht, I need to get to Spain, the Spear of Destiny is there, I want it..."

(Schacht is a general in Satan's army)

Meanwhile, in Spain, the spear of destiny lay in a museum, sitting in a display case, nobody knew what it really was, they assumed it was only a rare roman era spear, and thus it was labeled "Roman Spear, 1st Century AD"

Gregory strode by the rest of the eight and made his way out of the Hall of Twelve, nearly knocking Konig down in the process as Konig shouted, "Hail Osiris! Savior of the Aryan Race!"

Konig got up and shook his head, something didn't seem right, why would his master shun him?

Gregory made his way quickly towards the Inquisitorial Headquarters, where the four most important of the twelve were being held.


Suddenly Pope Thaller jumped up, sensing the presence of extreme evil somewhere nearby, he muttered to himself, "He has come, it has begun..."

Konig focused all of his powers, making sure none of the others could sense what he was doing, he sent a message to Yuna, "Yuna, tell Alec that Satan roams the Earth, it sounds incredible, but it is true, Gregory has given up his body to be a host to the false god, Satan... Satan is going to be going to Spain, to a medieval museum, to find the Spear of Destiny... He who controls the Spear of Destiny, controls the fate of the World. May God have mercy on my soul for all I have done, I have finally seen the light, the era of my ways, if only there is time now to get the others to see through the lies and false promises..."

Yuna was horrified. She responded, "Yes, I will tell him..the battle of existence is about to begin. If you need me to help tell the others, I will."

She then ran off to tell Alec.

Ooc- Yes it is, but everybody always does star killing destroyer ships, and planet wrecking death rays. I wan to do an Armageddon style battle. So I think I should be able to. Hey, this isn't going to affect my nation overly so, and it won't affect anybody else. I'm not going to use this COT stuff or SOEM stuff to go after others. This is basically just a fun RP.
