Repose

[The bar closes Monday night and, while there are reports of a gun being wielded, no one is reported injured and no legal action is taken. The bar remains closed on Tuesday, and the sign on the door says it will reopen on Friday.]

I've already talked to all of you, but just to bring everyone equally up to speed - someone has died in the Capital because of the deity, the thing I'm carrying. Claire is going to Rome to look for a solution. In the meantime, though, I thought it prudent to try to find answers of my own, and to make sure there is no chance of something like this happening again.

I'm open to suggestions. I know I was left the store for a reason, for instance - I don't know if it was because my anonymous benefactor knew something about me. And there must be alternative answers to this problem from other religions and forms of spirituality than the church.

[After this.]

[...] Hi, are you okay?

[Voice to text, as she can't type at the moment.]

I can't find it

[After Monday night, there are whispers around some of the labs that Dr. Bishop was pulled into the Commander's office. For the second time in less than 24 hours. But unlike the first time, the second time included other people, lasted longer, well into the early hours of Tuesday morning.

When he's finally allowed to leave, a memo is distributed that Dr. Bishop will be taking several days of personal leave and that he'll return the following week. The other members of his lab team are to continue on with their work if possible, or report to be reassigned if not.

Several hours later, Dr. Bishop's car is seen driving toward the Capital.]
