Titan (Third Dynasty) pt.10

It would be a 15-year project at the least. Probably 20 because of a problem arising in Phobos, but it turned out to be 30 years. A rebellion was grouping in the northern hemisphere in the major city, Ellirah. The citizens were sick of the Governments growing leniency to the Inquisition and their bloody ways of dealing with previous rebellions. Leading them was Jesse-Hao Chedd. The son of a poor prixbus driver. His mother had been taken by the Inquisition when he was 15. She refused the Orthodoxy faith (her family were Buddhist-Pagans) and was murdered for it. Her corpse was skewered with a stake and set atop the church to rot. Taken by anger, Jesse took a small gang to retrieve his mother and burn her with rosemary (a sign of respect). Her ashes were sprinkled though the underground cavern that would become one of the largest undercover bases undiscovered by the ever-searching Inquisition, Piscola.
