A meeting of the Lancea Sanctum held by Anton Flores at the Moore House at the end of July 2011
[1]
- Bishop Anton Flores calls a meeting of the Sanctified. He introduces Dillon Connery to Deacon Sidor Grigoriev, casually promoting the other long standing Sanctified member in the process. Sidor is not particularly pleased at this, as he feels he does not deserve a promotion due to his hidden crisis of faith, even if it is healing. Anton requests that all the Sanctified present make a statement of their Purpose, which they do. [2]
- Anton Flores interrogates Dillon Connery over his actions around female Domain members. As Sidor Grigoriev sees Anton's temper building, he intercedes by projecting a silent aura of menace to defect the inevitable raging. Although Dillon resists, he casts his eyes down and looks suitably penitant, letting Anton move on. Sidor adds to Dillon that he is better off earning his place rather than trying to charm his way in, remembering Katrina Scherbotsky's fall from grace. [3]
- Anton Flores discusses the need to surveill Moore House after the death of Auric, a neonate who had violated the grounds. He was apparently pecked to death by a flock of birds. Sidor Grigoriev suspects Theban Sorcery, although Dillon Connery's first thoughts go to Protean transformations and the discipline of Animalism. Anton Flores leaves the matter in the hands of his new Deacon. [4]
- Anton Flores turns to leave, but is reminded by Sidor Grigoriev that he is to administer Confession and Mass. Anton is infuriated at Sidor's impertinance, but does so anyway. Sidor maintains his silent composure and the Sanctified attend confession, while Josephine Powell and Ariana Donovan arrive to witness Mass. [5]
- As Sidor Grigoriev, Dillon Connery, Josephine Powell and Ariana Donovan socialise before Mass, Sidor begins to suspect that Anton Flores is taking too long to prepare. Going into the back to check, he finds smears of blood on the floor. He quickly realises his scheme against Anton cannot wait, and he calls in Conner Greyson, knowing that to delay is to allow Anton time to dig himself further in. The Deputy studies the bloody smear, locking down Moore House, and contacts Max Heinz, while outside the others wonder what has happened. [6]
