Keitoleinen discovered a base under the ruins of Mt. Killimanjaro. Thus far, the teams I have sent there to investigate have not been able to enter the base. I am so stressed about this. I feel like I alone am charged with the responsibily of keeping Red Infinity together. There will come a time when the masses will be forced to sacrifice more, in a great war against this new threat. I will call upon them, just as they sacrificed for Russia and China in the days of old.
But it is all very hard. I need more good help. I lean back in my chair and try very hard to get a handle on things.

"Well, that depends on where you go. Gregory's offices are a hundred stories high, the buildings solid stone. My side of the city is mostly wooden homes and businesses where the people meet and talk and have fun.
Then there's the wilds around the city. The forest is wonderful, and so are the mountains. Lots of things live in them, the things that don't come into the city. Timithy says he found a herb of unicorns in the woods once."

Bassarov finally was getting a better handle on the rebels. but there were still too many people running about. A concert was a good idea. It would foster unity between the rebel groups. I wander outside the church and see Calithin.
"There is no sign of Keitoleinen yet. Tell me, what do you know about this god?"

After some training, Ki-lin walks into Lady Violet's office.
"Hello madame."
She bows to her, and her headstrong attitude is always humbled by her.
"May I ask you my lady, what is the matter? You've been very stressed out these past few days. Even before the anarchists tried to kill you."

I wander around looking for Bassarov, he is no where in sight. Instead I find Sephos. She was the only rebel I really trusted anyway. She was very nice to me when I came here.
"Tell Bassarov that he should invite Toivo Koivisto to the concert. He is the leader of the Green Party. In fact, I will go to meet him and invite him myself."
I turn into a swan and travel to Toivo's cottage. When I enter, I see that he is taking a nap.
"Wake up, dear Toivo."

I smiled at Flask. Only the offices were frightening to me.
I'll go with you, as long as you stay with me if I have to go through Gregory's side of the city...

"I am fine Ki-Lin, don't worry about me. It has just been a little stressful. Lin-Sat is not much help. I feel like I am doing everything. I also feel that our opposition is getting stronger. I don't want to fight an endless war against rebels. It drains our resources and makes it impossible to do the things that really matter: making the lives of people better."
I stretch and try very hard not to make my stress so apparent. This is hard, so very hard.

Toivo wakes up from a long hard sleep, and jumps up from his bed.
"Who, wha..?" He said in his almost gremlin-like voice. It was the woman whom he once loved.
"I erm... What?" A little annoyed. He had a harder time hiding his emotions when he was just emerging from his sleep.
"I mean... Hello, what brings you to this neck of the woods?"

"You are the leader of the Green Party, dearest Toivo. I wanted to invite you to a concert in Helsinki. All the rebels will be there. Bassarov, the communist revolutionary, is sponsoring it. I think it would be good for you to go. You don't get out much."
I look through his pantries and his medicine cabinets. They are empty.
"It is not right for someone your age to live alone so far from civilisation. Maybe you could move to Helsinki where you could be better taken care of."

Toivo crawls out of bed, he refused to admit that the ailments of age were creeping up on him.
"I'm not some cripple, what do you know about me swan? You never come to see me anyways."
He gets up, and fixes himself some breakfast.
"I can take care of myself, I've been doing so pretty well thus far."
He takes a bite out of his bread and jam, deliberately not asking her if she wants any.

Kilin knew that Violet always had a thing for biting off more than she could chew, and was generally really good at hiding her stress. Now that the stress is apparent, this made Kilin worry.
"Is there anything you shall have me do? It pains me to see you like this my Lady."

"I did not mean to insult you Toivo. I just care about you and want you to be taken care of."
I hold his withered hand.
"I can not stay here and take care of you, to see you wither and die before my eyes. I can not endure it."
I let go, and kiss his forehead.
"See you at the concert, Toivo. Take care."
I walk to the door.
"I love you."
I turn back into a swan and fly away, my heart is still heavy. I return to the church wishing I had not seen him.

"I would like you to investigate the LIF base and see if you can enter it. There must be a way."
I look at Ki-Lin and smile.
"Thanks for being such a loyal operative. I appreciate it. I need more people like you."
