Oh wicked ones we, Tykhe who braved the shower of heavenly darts and the Lancers who rode the Comet's tail, say this: The evil sway of Invidia has stolen the the children of the Sun. Who know remembers the Common Weal? The world is wracked by kinstrife, good things are stolen from the mouths of the unborn, nothing passes the lips save awful calumny. All have forgotten though the shadow of Nemesis has passed. Listen you faithless ones, LOGOS is not silent, the Commonwealth is not suspended. If the living will not heed, we will break in the doors and smash the bolts; there will be confusion of people, those above with those who slumbered below. We shall bring up the sleepers to drink the light like the living; and the hosts of the sleepers will outnumber the living.
