Steve wasn't there, so he doesn't know the specific orders regarding mentioning "Erik Mona." We'll let it slide this time, but next time, he'll be expected to be at the meeting to get the same message as everyone else.

It's certainly worth noting that not all Venture-Captains were present at this disturbing Pope seance, and their minds and opinions may still be free from external influence.
There aren't many of us ronin, and we have scattered ourselves to remote corners of the world for our (and your) protection, but we are out there ...

This looks like the thought process of the Aspis Consortium. I need 6 volunteers to go on a mission to -- retrieve -- Stephen for his own protection. We will lock him away until we can be sure he is of no further harm to himself. I will provide faction missions once I have my 6 adventurers.
And before you ask, no the trip isn't paid for. You are Pathfinders after all and this hopefully isn't your first mission.

*Sigh* Grand. Another morally questionable mission that will likely result in my inevitable doom. And I don’t even get travel expenses paid for. Why do I do this again?

Polo shirts and badass beer steins, now quit whining and grab your gear.
Don't forget your machete this time, either.

So close to the beer stein… So Close. Maybe this time we can avoid the man eating monkeys. At least Australia shouldn’t be…That bad…Right? Rrriiiigggghhhhtttt, so full load out this time?
Join the Pathfinder Society! Go to exotic places, see strange animals and sights, meet interesting people, and be horrifically killed by them!

I am looking forward to the brainwashing of all the new Venture-Captains!
Who's job is it to brainwash the Venture-Lieutenants?
It's a group initiation. We strap them into chairs ala clockwork orange and show them a film featuring your high school dances. Not for the faint of heart.
I kid, I kid...;-)

Alas i am immune to said brain washing. for to wash a brain one needs said brain first. and alas i have lost mine some where in the foothills of Boise after BSU won their second Fiesta Bowl.
now i am just a zombie in service to Naadhira!
You have not met the Pope yet I see.

Has anyone else noticed the shift in the nature of the posts by our VCs?
In the past the VCs where not afraid to show their emotions in their posts, to argue with others when they where in disagreement. It was not unusual to see emotions fly about from the VCs, to stick to their guns and vehemently argue their sides!
Now we see post like "Thank you for your input", "That is a valid argument, but...", "(Explain rule) and see Additional resources for similar questions", when in the past we would see posts to the equivalent of things like "Yeah that rule is not going to change so no there is no reason to ask", "Man, will you stop arguing the same point over and over again it is getting annoying!" and "Grrrrr for the last time look at Additional resources, Good day to you sir!"
I miss the days when I used to get death threats in my email from VCs, VCs telling me to shut-up!** VCs acting like real posters not just throwing around rote.
I wonder if they release their anger of us lowly PFS players in their super secret VC forums to vent what they used to say in the open?
Mark Garringer: "Argh Dragnmoon is complaining again!"***
Michael Griffin-Wade: "Yeah I know, I wish he would shut up!"
Dave Woodfin: "Hey at least you guys don't live near him!"* Post mostly in jest, but I have noticed a change in attitude by the VCs in the forums.
** No email death threats where actually ever received by VCs, but I am sure I have been told to shut up ;)
*** Yeah I know you guys talk about me!
See the thing is Dragnmoon is that now you are one of them, so they can no longer send you those "shut up and stop whining" emails like in the past.
Also, "VO brainwashing" is an incorrect term. The correct term is "Venture Officer Re-Education" so that all VO's have the proper etiquette in handling the general populace as provided from the Decemvirate Council concerning all matters temporal and spacial.
I guess Master Brock has not yet gotten to scheduling the PACG VO's for their initial Re-Education Orientation. Slacking. ;)

That's one of the benefits of taking enough levels in 'Catholic'*. You eventually get Immunity to Acid. :P
*The above comment is meant entirely in jest and should not be taken as an insult to the Catholic faith.

Aha! The first sign of brainwashing: STHU. Non-brainwashed people use F.
