[Illuminatus]

We must dissent! *** Bringing you the latest Word of God since the Second Ark *** We must dissent!

In this issue: *Brother Ezekiel questions the official dogma over global warming *Sister Azura new bishop of the Righteous Peaks *Order of the Candle discovers Synthetic Fossil Fuels *The Story of Luke and the Terraformer Blessed by the Lord: Chapter Eight: The City of the High *Brother Constantine denounces Lal as the Antichrist *New Saint: St Matthew the Probe Team *Calls for a reform grow stronger *A report from the Inquisition Brother Ezekiel questions the official dogma over global warming In his last sermon at Fecundity Base, brother Ezekiel questioned our plans for industrial expansion. «As the Holy Scripture tells us, Planet is our Promised Land. But I ask you to ask yourself, did Adam recklessly roam the Garden of Eden? Did he cut trees when he saw the opportunity? No. He and Eve lived in harmony with the Garden of Eden. They knew they must care for the Garden in order to thrive happily. Only after they ate forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil they learned of the difference between Good and Evil, and with that knowledge, the Sin of Ignorance. The same Ignorance that destroyed our original home, the same Sin from which we fled in the Second Ark to here. Have we not already learned from Lord’s Wrath that must not commit this Sin again? If the current practice continues, we are likely to face polar meltdowns and floods on the scale of the Original Flood. Entire Meek Valley with all its people could end beneath the waves as a punishment for repeating this Sin. Some of my fellow brother and sisters in the Conclave could be blind towards this, but I will not allow my heart and my soul to be poisoned by the preachings of the Unholy One. We have been exiled two times already, once from the Garden of Eden, than from Earth. Lord is merciful, but what makes you think he’ll exile us again if the stray from the Righteous Path?” The Conclave has not reacted about this, but brother Ezekiel is expected to visit the Conclave base in the later part of this month. Brother Ezekiel is known for advocating the switch from current economy model to a more viable, green status. Sister Azura new bishop of the Righteous Peaks After a two day discussin, the Conclave has decided in favor of sister Azura and raised her to the position of bishop of the Righteous Peaks. Other candidates, Enoch and Jeremiah have congratulated Azura on her election. “I bestow Blessings of the Lord upon you sister, because you will need His Knowledge to shepherd the flock of Righteous Peaks.”said Enoch, once praised as the most likely candidate for this position. Enoch told us he will return to his monastery and meditate. Brother Jeremiah informed us he will return to the Order of the Sword, where he will continue to advocate a crusade to liberate our fellow believers opressed by the immoral Yang. Order of the Candle discovers Synthetic Fossil Fuels Brother Michael of the Order of the Candle has informed the Conclave that the Order has finished their research on Synthetic Fossil Fuels. “Ever since we arrived here, we lacked adequate fuel sources. The Sky, promised to us by the Lord, along with all the Seas and Lands of this planet has been denied to us. Our discovery will bring us closer to our goal of returning to the skies. When Order of the Shadow retrieves the necessary software data, we can start working on our prototype – nicknamed Vindicator.” A representative of the Order of the Sword, brother Jeremiah, also commented the discovery. “Until now, our impact weapons were unable to pierce the plasma armors of the Hive. Now we have the tools to deliver Lord’s Wrath to the immoral monsters occupying most of the area north of us. Although the Blue Beast has many horns that produce armies, his newest colonies on the Rivergreen Peninsula cannot draw reinforcements quickly. I call for the Conclave to prototype the missile launcher and upgrade our existing Rover Avengers. We must deliver the Lord’s Punishment to the Beast. If we act quickly, we can cut off its newest horns before the grow to full size” The Story of Luke and the Terraformer Blessed by the Lord: Chapter Eight: The City of the High And Luke drove in the City of the High, and he saweth peoples hiding in their homes and walking bent. And he asked: «People of the City of the High, why are you so weak? Are you not proud of your faith and praise for the Lord? Has the Lord forsaken you?» And they replied to him «Boy, we pray to him in the morning, in the noon, in the evening and before each meal. But we are plagued with diseases and hunger and we cannot pay to him very often, as we work hard to survive on our own.» And Luke said «Why have not you built a farm and harvested it?» «Our land is arid. Nothing would grow on it.» And Luke asked «Why have you not built a condensor?» And the people replied to him: «We tried to, but Lord sent a mmindworm and destroyed the former. We assume it was a punishment for our attempt to create rains as He does.» And Luke walked around them in silence and said. « Was the former armored?» «No, my boy.» «Then the Lord has punished you for not armoring the former, because as you know, the Lord commands to armor formers. So it was said in Miriam 3:14.» And the people fell on ground and thanked him for showing the true path. With the Lord's Terraformer Luke built a condensor for him and people no longer walked bent, but high, proud for their praise of the Lord.

Brother Constantine denounces Lal as the Antichrist “We were warned about him. He will come and lead weak soulds to the path of Sin. He will try to gather people around and put him under his rule under the pretence of peace and prosperity. Many like him have came before, and many like him will come after him. We must not believe his lies. Wasn’t he the one to deny us knowledge of the Ark? Wasn’t he the one to kill, capture and interogate our missionaries sent to his “free” bases? Isn’t he leading the people away from the Righteous Path under his advocation of godless democracy? His recent election to the position of the Planetary Governor just proves our doubts: he has declared himself king of kings of these world. We must dissent. His words are the words of the Unholy One, filled with poison and evil. We must not fall to his trap. We will endure and the day will come when his crown will be taken away from him, and he will be cast down to hell which spawned him in the first place.” New Saint: St Matthew the Probe Team Martyr Conclave has finished its research over the unfortunate deaths of the Order of the Shadow unit headed by brother Matthew. We remind you that four years ago the probe team run into unexpected Peacekeeper rover patrol that eliminated most of the unit before they were able to infiltrate U.N. Knowledge authority and learn of new evils concieved by the Antichrist Lal. Survivors reported that probe team leader Matthew fought with unearthily fervour against the attacker, even after being shot several times. “At one point I thought he not going to hold, but he did. Then I noticed a glow around him, a glow most certainly not of this world. I believe Lord saw the purity of his heart and intention, and sent him strenght to finish his divine mission. If it weren’t for him, I would be dead right now.” said Clarence, two weeks after he was rescued. Another survivor, John, claimed that his wounds were healed by Matthew. “The laser shot me right through my right arm. I was losing a lot of blood and couldn’t hold the gun anymore. Then another laser hit me in the stomach. I knew I was not going to make it. I was already seeing the Silver Gates. I could see my parents and sister Miriam behind them. I wondered why the gates weren’t opening when Matthew returned me to this plane. He carried me over to the shelter and bandaged my wounds. As his hand touched the wounds I stopped feeling cold – his touch was warm and I felt my wounds getting smaller. I fell asleep soon afterwards, dreaming of the Silver Gates. When I awoke at the hospital they told me the shots missed all my vital organs. But I know the truth: Matthew healed me.” After years of investigation, Conclave has finally agreed to canonize Mattew as Saint Matthew the Probe Team Martyr. Except this miracles, the additional argument was that Matthew did not bow to the False Court of the Antichrist Lal, and resisted torture. He resisted all pressure to sign a “confession” that he was on a mission of technological espionage. The display of Faith has surely turned many of Peacekeeper citizens from sin and towards our cause, forcing Lal to sign a Truce with us. This acts are worthy of a true saint. Calls for a reform grow stronger A petition made by brothers and sisters of faith has been sent to the Conclave. They demand Conclave to abandon its totalitarian control of our people and return to true path of the Scripture. They condemn the massive expansion of the Orders of the Hammer, Shadow and the Sword, believing that war is not currently the right path for us. The reform movement was started when brother Abraham openly attacked Conclave in his sermon six years ago, saying that creation of the Kingdom of God requires domination and not conquest of others. We quote him: «The Unmentionable Evil wants us to turn to sword so that his children could triumph while we fight. We must not allow this to happen. Lord intended for us to reap fruits of hard labor, not of the slash of a sword. Our Earth has been destroyed because too many followed the way of the sword.» Brother Abraham has been expelled from the Order of the Word following that, but he managed to get a lot of support from others. Today, he and his group control the Meek Valley and the Eastern Wastes. The Conclave has refused their demands, but not certain members are questioning the legitimacy of the Conclave itself. «If the Conclave grows corrupted with sin, than it is our duty to replace it with a pure one.» is the sentence that can be heard more and more frequently in the last few months. Brother Constantine has warned brother Abraham to silence his group, since their beliefs are bordering with heresy. Abraham has not yet reacted to this, but anyone can see that the situation is escalating. Sister Azura has called for conciliation of the East and the West, but threats of excommunication are still targeted at brother Abraham. It remains to be seen what is the Lord's Will in this matter. A report from the Inquisition *After a decade long examination, the Inquisition has determined that rock songs played back do not contain messages from the Unspeakable One. «Drol Live eht mrof egassem a sa deifissalc eb nac taht gnihtyna reah ot elba neeb t'nevah I tey dna sdrawkcab sgnos souirav ot gninetsil sraey net tsap tneps evah I.» said one of the brothers that conducted the investigation. Their report has been submitted to High Council of Inquisition near the begining of this year, but the Council has only managed to decipher the report last week. *In other news, Inquisition has decided to cast damnatio memoriae on ___ _____ and all of his creations. During the late twentieth and twenty first century, his creations managed to lead millions of believers to the dark path, eventually precipitating the Downfall. Disguised as civilization building games, the dark invention made men forget their families, leave their ovens running, forget to vote in election and turn to civophily. May the name of ___ _____ never be heard again! Monk of the Order of the Pen: brother Illuminatus No true believer has been harmed or strayed from the Righteous Path in any way. May the Lord's Blessings be upon all brothers and sisters of faith! Written in the year of 53 since the Second Ark with blessings of the Lord.

A note from the author: caveat lector, since I wrote this in around a single hour - no time to proofread. The reason why the logo is low quality is because I built it on the uni (not UoP )computer which has only Paint for editing images.

May the Uni A.I. bless you, my son...

There were believers in this game? Good to know.

EDIT: Oh, it seems to be for the next game.
