Log of the Cambric, continued
I'm writing this in the crypt of Flebgom Abbey, which is as near to being a heavily-defended bunker as the church can come up with. Above me, out in the street, about half a dozen large and vociferous groups of protesters are being kept apart by the planetary police. The entire planet is in turmoil, and it's only a matter of time before open fighting breaks out in two dozen cities.
Apparently I have endorsed a movement within the NCSoP which advocates a return to traditional Neo-Coprodist values. It seems that even those who can agree on whether or not this is a bad idea find themselves unable to reach a consensus on what traditional Neo-Coprodist values are. So we've got people saying we should drop the Neo and reunite with the pure Coprodist Panarchy, people saying we should declare a holy war on the pure Coprodist Panarchy, and every shade of homicidal mania in between, and I'm right in the middle being accused of sixteen kinds of heresy by everyone.
And guess whose fault it is.
I don't think he's a saboteur any more. No-one could deliberately cause this much trouble. And he's in it as deep as I am. Literally, in this case.
On the other hand, he couldn't have been more effective if he had been trying. There's no way I can run the coup from inside a siege. All I can do is wait this out, contact Plut and ask them to send a proper replacement Heresiarch, and slink back to the homeship with my tail between my legs. There's nothing to be gained from this unholy mess. Nothing at all. If I ever get inside a smallship again it'll be with a mop and bucket.
P is waving at me. I think he wants to say something. It had better be an apology.
