Greetings to you. My name is Father McKenzie.
Some time ago i used to be just a Junker priest, preaching the people - but recently i had a certain visions - the visions which were slipping away.
Seeking for help, i turned to Outcasts, in attempt to find out, what are those visions were about.
I got a dose of Cardamine - desperate measures, but it was worth it. I had a revelation.
You are famous for your devotion, and im pretty sure that we have much to discuss. I dont dare to explain all details of my visions, but more i think about it - the more it worries me.
Currently im recovering from my Cardamine experience - it was pretty tough for me.
Thank you for your offer of help, sir.
Indeed i am seriously troubled, like you said, and indeed i need to describe my visions to you.
But dont forget one thing, please. Even walls have ears, all transmission can be hacked, and i dont want to let this knowledge get into the hands of certain people. Not yet.
I would like to meet you in private somewhere to speak about this.
Sigh..
Father McKenzie:
I cannot fathom what sort of "visions" would require such secrecy and security.
I have a lot on my plate, sir.
I'm afraid you'll have to trust in our Secure FnordNet.
Change encryption protocols if it will make you sleep more soundly.
And again I ask, what "religion" do you minister to?
I apologize. Did not realized that was a question - my thoughts are heavy yet. I am catholic, was born in Bretonia.. but im not sure how this matters.
About the visions - i will tell you short so far that they were about Sol, the war that brought our kind here, to Sirius. I know that Sol exists yet - ive seen it, awaiting for our return, and i think that Nomads - how we call them - exiled humanity from there. There are details, but thats too large truth for me alone. It contradicts with certain dogmas ive been teached, but ive seen it all with my very eyes, heard with ears.
I know this should mean something.. shall it?
Anyways, this could not be just a dream, i had it times before - but was never able to recall.
Had you ane experience of this kind. sir? Please, share with me.
Ah yes, Father. The good Irish name gave me a 50/50 "guess", eh?
As to why it would matter, I submit that all religions are true in some sense, false in some sense,
and meaningless for the most part. Mine included.
Your visions/dreams/hallucinations are not that uncommon, Mac.
While I may have relegated the "Cradle of Humanity" to the dustbin of history,
(I've not had those same visions..),
I will allow that they do contain sombunall deeper meaning, which may reveal itself over time.
For now, I can only quote one of our minor non-prophets, J. Dillinger:
