Dead (wo)man walking

One, I'm in a new clone. This did give me a chance to get into a clone that had a... er... addition in it - a little something designed to prevent me from giving up anything if I were ever taken.

Taken. Captured.

Then a wierd bit of the past crawled out to meet me the other day.

Let me restart from the beginning - our pointless little war with some other capsuleer corporation has come to an end. While doing a replenishment run to Amarr for all those things that are used up in the course of a war. I've been hearing of something called a Basilica in some Amarr circles, so I took a shuttle down to Oris and found the place - it's a rather impressive complex, complete with a chapel, reading alcoves, and even a small juice bar.

Of course, it's always the people who are more interesting than the place. In addition to several members of PIE. hanging around the place - thank the Lord I didn't end up talking to one of them, I'd probably end up being thrown out of the place - I got a partial tour of the place by a pilot with the I.D. Letheeth Kayl, who I later found to be member of CVA. She got called out for some operation, so I just wandered around for bit, and the only person not already involved in a conversation was a Khanid woman... named Izanami Mikoto.

Izanami Mikoto I, actually. Her daughter was that nutjob who tried to yank Amaterasu from the Gate that first night I met her.

Daughter must have taken after her husband, because she is much, well, smarter. Rather more conservative in her beliefs than I, but then I haven't had my husband and daughter killed by pirates.

Anyhow, I let is slip talking to Aldrith Shutaq in the Basilica that I knew Amaterasu. He knew, of course, but she didn't.

So I sent her a personal communication, from W-space no less (hey, guess where I'm stationed now?) and found out that she already knew about her husband and daughters' fates, and that she is worried Amaterasu will turn into some kind of monster.

I'm a bit confused as well, to tell the truth - Ghost Festival was an odd choice indeed for Amaterasu - but I didn't let it show.

She doesn't deserve to die trying some half-assed plan to get Amaterasu back. So I told her that I couldn't see Ama turning into a monster, that she could never inflict the pain on others that she has had poured onto her - which was true - and that I doubted she would be affected by the people she is around - which I'm not to sure about.

One last thing - I gave a passing mention to Sabikannen when I first opened the comms channel. Said that it is resulting in my workload is heavy. She assumed I meant I was trying to stop the sacrifices - which I really should get around to trying to do - so I guess she doesn't share her husband's leanings.

Or she's got me fooled, in which case I am going to be quite angry.
