The Apology of Authority

[Fenitchka]

I am happy that Iris noticed how hard I was working and was kind to me. I just want to do a good job. I know she doesn't want someone to serve her, but she is special to Red Infinity, and she should have someone do the little things for her.

I give Meekers some canned cat food and empty out the trash in her room. I feel happy taking care of Meekers and Iris. It almost replaces taking care of Kolya.

[Josef Stalin]

Stalin sat in his office in Beijing, typing away at his new book. Comrade Stalin was to be an autobiography where Stalin talks about how he helped Lenin lead the revolution, turned Czarist Russia into the United Soviet Socialist Republics and how the people flourished under his rule. Then it moves on to more recent events, such as his being brought into the future, his important role with Red Infinity, blah blah blah, basically a bunch of propaganda.

He had heard Violet was injured. d**ned shame. Not. She had it coming. She shouldn't have stood in Lin-Sat's way. Had Stalin been in Lin-Sat's shoes, Violet would be in much worse condition than a hospital bed. She would be executed and replaced with a compliant clone.

Stalin never could stand for dissent. Counter-revolutionaries were to be terminated with extreme prejiduce. Ironically enough, Stalin never found it right to mess with the families of counter-revolutionaries unless they were fellow conspirators. He felt that no matter what a relation was like, people deserved a chance to prove themselves loyal to the Party.

Stalin soon grew bored. He hadn't seen Dr. Murdock in a while and decided to check in on the Ministry of Information.

Upon his arrival he saw a young woman (Fenitchka). He walked up to her, hands behind his back and looking very regal.

"Excuse me young woman, you wouldn't happen to know where Dr. Murdock is by any chance, would you?"

[Hoshi]

I return to the torture room and check up on Dariya. I have given her enough time off of the tortures, so I will start again.

Today I will start her on a dose of cold. I like to mix things up a little.

I turn the temperature control to arctic cold and watch through the window as she shivers.

[Cephrien]

Ceph smirked and waved to Akka. "Hey. I'm gonna take a little break okay? I'll be right back.." He said and warped back to the Ministry. Let's see..Hoshi was a torturer right? So she would most likely be in the Torturing Room..duh..
He walked down to the Torturing Room to see if she was there.

[Zex]

i hang out with surma a while and look at my friends. they may be back alive, but i still need answers. if ukko is really the god of the earth he could change things. i wonder why he allows red infinity and all the bad things to happen. i need to know the truth. i say goodbye to surma and my friends and set out to get my questions answers.

[Hoshi]

"Hey Cephrien, what have you been up to lately?" I ask the fellow demon.

[Fenitchka]

"She should be upstairs in her office, sir." I reply to the man.

I continue to clean.

[Cephrien]

Ceph smirked and crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow at the temperature chamber she was playing with. "..Ah.. i've been helping to repair the Virgin Islands..." he said and rubbed the back of his head.

[Josef Stalin]

Stalin is slightly perturbed that she did not recognize him, but let's it slide for now. You can't purge people for not knowing you anymore, thanks to the d**ned compassionate saps at Red Infinity. In the days of the USSR, not greeting Comrade Stalin with anything less than unbridaled joy could result in being sent to a Gulag.

"Thank you, which way is that? She normally is the one to be seeking me out," Stalin says, fixing his mustache slightly.

[Elijah Debs]

The wisdom fish swims towards Andrew and considers all the things that are making him upset.
Elijah waits patiently for the fish to open up about it's life troubles.

"You see, this lake is very deep and connects to other worlds. Someone in another world is throwing detergents into the water and it is making the fish sick. I don't know what to do, since I am just a fish and can't confront the polluters." The wisdom fish says to Andrew and Elijah. He feels comfortable talking to Andrew.

[Fenitchka]

"Just take the elevator across the hall to the top floor. I haven't ever been to her office, but I know its up there." I reply to the man.

[Hoshi]

"Yeah, I heard about that. It is nice that you are helping them out. I haven't been doing too much, just torturing Dariya again."

[Josef Stalin]

"Thank you," Stalin says, turning and heading upstairs. How, HOW could she not know who he was. He, Josef Vissarionavich Stalin, the very man who made Communism a success!

He fumed the whole way up to Dr. Murdock's office before knocking on the door.

[Sakari Lehtinen]

Sakari feels as though he is now encircled, and shouldn't have even said anything about sending Soren to the Ministry of Terror. He was just pissed about Soren's apathy towards Antero's fate.

While it may be in my best interest to ignore Zinn's comments, at this moment, her very presence makes my hair stand on end. "Thank you Zinn, I however, don't really want to hear it right now." I reply making eye contact only for the duration of the sentence, then turn my attention back to Soren.

"And Nova is right, no matter what we do, Red Infinity will always be after us. I would however, like to go about this thing as legally as possible, since I don't want to give them any more reasons than they already have to come after us. How soon can we do that, then?" Sakari states to Soren.

[Cephrien]

Ceph smiled and folded his hands on the back of his head. "..Heh.. yeah..but it's just me and Akka helping so far..." He said and lowered his eyelids.
"...uhm.. Anyway.." The demon paused. "..I was..wondering.." He paused again. "...If you..uh..wanted to go out and get a cup of coffee or something..but...seeing as how you're busy.."
