Chapter II: Cardinal Copia

*"Pro Memoria" starts playing in the background*

[Cardinal Copia]

*Turns off boombox*

Hello, Papa. You're looking well.

[Papa Nil]

Oh, Sister... May I have a word with you?

[Sister Imperator]

Certainly.

[Papa Nil]

You cannot be serious.

[Sister Imperator]

As a heart attack.

[Papa Nil]

But, Sister, he is not part of the bloodline.

[Sister Imperator]

With all due respect, you are all out of progeny.

[Papa Nil]

The bloodline has not been broken for nigh a millenium. My father was Papa, his father, his father's father, his father's father's father, his father's father's father's father's father... His father...

[Sister Imperator]

The Cardinal is our next senior most member. He's been your right-hand man.

[Papa Nil]

But Sister...

[Sister Imperator]

Need I remind you, he holds the esteemed honor of second most employee of the month awards.

[Papa Nil]

Very well, it is done.

[Cardinal Copia]

Everything uh... Okay there, your dark excellencies?

[Papa Nil]

Cardinal, come forward.

*"Life Eternal" plays on background*

Dies Irae, dies illa

Solvet saeclum in favilla

Teste Satan cum sybilla

Quantus tremor est futurus

Quando Judex est venturus

Cuncta stricte discussurus

[Sister Imperator]

Welcome aboard! Now, go up to level two, and be fitted for your new suits.

[Cardinal Copia]

Yes. Yes, thank you. Thank you, thank you.

*Most awkward attempted fist bump in history*

Ah.

*"Pro Memoria" starts playing in the background*

[Sister Imperator]

Come, Papa, we must give your sons the news. They have a new mission now.

[Papa Nil]

Where are they?
