[The video starts with Caterina filing her nails at her desk. It's very late into the evening (or early into the morning) and Caterina is clearly not in the best mood. Her voice is soft and light as she addresses the feed.] 

Curious, isn't it? We cheat this place out of having a virus and it goes down temporarily. I wonder if it's a coincidence or we struck a blow to whoever controls this site. I sincerely hope it is the latter. It would be nice if all the annoyances learned their place every once in a great while.

I am assigning you to assist the Holy Madonna's guards officially. Unofficially, I want you to monitor the people keeping a close eye on her and make sure they see nothing of her relationship with Abel. Sabotage their activities together if you must to keep things quiet. If they see anything despite your efforts, report it immediately to me.

It disappeared? I hardly noticed.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

It happened briefly. Hardly worth the notice of a solider like yourself Brother Petros.

[inquisitorish.livejournal.com]

You should not patronize me so, Caterina Sforza.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

Why is that, Petros Orcini? [She's still not mad at you for making it look like they were together on the community. Nope.]

[inquisitorish.livejournal.com]

Are we not on the same side concerning this place?

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

We are when you're not creating problems. I suppose right now would be that time, wouldn't it?

[inquisitorish.livejournal.com]

Creating problems?

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

Your last post.

[inquisitorish.livejournal.com]

Did his Holiness berate you?

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

Cardinal Medici made a nuisance of himself. I dealt with it.

[suoifssdaf give hm a second to process.]

[She can wait, Petros.]

[inquisitorish.livejournal.com]

.... I will speak with him about this.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

I trust you will.

I'd thought about that. If a meeting can put off a virus, maybe a big enough one can put off the community.

But, some people reported not having any problems. I wonder if being cut off was the "missing" virus? It was right around the scheduled time.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

It seems pointless to cut us off for a few days. Was worldhopping effected? Otherwise I fail to see the problem it caused us.

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

There are some people who seem pretty attached to it. I can't say I missed it myself, but...

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

I can't say I particularly grieved for its loss either. You do have a point. There must be some people who value this site.

[sotobas-lot.livejournal.com]

I don't think we've met. I'm Ozaki Toshio. I'm working with a few others on the community to look into a way to manage its effects.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

I am Cardinal Caterina Sforza. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Toshio.

... All right. But I'm sure that won't be necessary; Lilith will be careful.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

My concern isn't directed toward her.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Point taken.

I'll make sure he doesn't do anything too stupid.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

That will be easier said than done unfortunately.

Lilith isn't bad at keeping him in line a lot of the time.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

No. She's done remarkably well considering the circumstances.

Are you unhappy about them getting married?

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

Abel is my best friend as well as my subordinate. It is going to be a challenge to make this work but, I am not unhappy about it.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

All right.

[impioscorde.livejournal.com]

The current guards will brief you on everything you need to know regarding her. That mission in itself shouldn't be too challenging. Not many are foolish enough to try confronting her directly.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Understood.
