Livius always dreaded to interrupt His Holyness in his sacred duties but the news he had recived from AC-Nulon were far too serious to wait, he bangged the doors repeatedly till a manservant opened and he push his way in, and half ran the corridor taking to The Pontiff's Chambers, the guards didn't stop him cause he was a High Priest and in cases of emergency it was common to see them there.

With a low gaze he entered the Chambers not daring to knock knowing that if he would do so he would enrage His Holyness even more, at that moment the old man was having his brakefast, well, being fed would be more accurated, he was resting on his divan as his multiple wives and concubines were feeding fruits on his mouth and playing music to ammuse him.

At first he half-choked with the grapes and wine then in his fury he casted away a trace and stood up "What pray tell me is the reason of this interruption of my peace?" bellowed The Pontiff before choking a moment later and needing milk to clear his throat, he knew he had lost a point so as if nothing had happened he smiled and dismissed all his wives, many of them much younger than him.

As they were alone the Pontiff pressed some security buttons to make the chamber sound proof and nobody from the outside could hear them, "Well?" said the Pontiff in a more stern voice, "What is it so important to interrupt an old man's peace?, what's the total cost of this problem?".

"I believe around six million your Holyness" hearing this The Pontiff laughed needing to clear his throat a moment later "Six million credits, that's nothing, I got that sum in my wallet".

"No your Holyness Im talking about six million lives" said Livius with trembling voice, "We lost Thebba it literally sunk in the ground... but it wasn't a natural disaster as the media says...someone -maybe The Lazarus- activated an Armagedon Device".

At the sound of this The Pontiff had to sit clutching his chest and he inmediatelly went for his oxygen mask, "Imposible...(coughing)...The Armagedon Devices are underground nuclear warheads placed in strategic places to detroy cities that rebell against our will...(coughing)...but to detonate one you would need two sets of codes and two master keys The Director of The Corporation has a code and key and so do I, it is imposible to detonate without our presence.

Livius felt like iced water in his veins, this was far more dangerous that he originally thought.
