Are there any longer those who have not fallen under the evil sway of Nemesis? The world is wracked by kinstrife and nothing passes from the lips of the living save awful calumny. Oh wicked ones, LOGOS is not silent, the Commonwealth is not suspended forever. We who braved the shower of heavenly darts and we who rode the comet's tail say this.
