“—The Cynic’s Book of Wisdom “We can be knowledgeable with other men’s knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other men’s wisdom.”
—MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE (1533-1592) Date: 2526.6.4 (Standard) Salmagundi-HD 101534 Father Francis Xavier Mallory had been many things in his lifetime: a Jesuit priest, a xenoarchaeology professor, a captain in the Occisis Marine Special Forces, and until recently an undercover agent for the Vatican Secretary of State. At the moment, none of that seemed to amount to very... much.
His captors had tossed him into a room separate from the others. His holding cell was not designed as a prison, but appeared to be just a spare office or storeroom in the city’s large central building. The ceiling panels shone diffuse light into a stark off-white cube that was empty of any furniture. The door was thin and translucent enough to show a fuzzy representation of the hallway beyond. It wasn’t intended to be secure, and Mallory judged that it could be easily forced.MoreLess
