“You people, in your arrogance, speak of original man, as if by linking your cause to some distant memory or conception of the idea you might legitimize immortality in the physical sense. You are not the brave messengers of a bold and forward looking humanity, rather you are the frightened and pitiful leaders of the damned. Too afraid to die and face judgement, you seek to stay within this place forever defying the will of the Son of Man.”
Jean-Claeve Monroe, Minister of Life, New Testament Brotherhood

Not all that glitters is gold. For centuries and into the millennia mankind has sought to return to his original, immortal state. Yet there are those which consider a move to immortality to be something which we, as a people, are not prepared to embrace. That upon extending our lives beyond the current 150 to 200 years that we now experience, we will become simple pleasure seekers, indulgent, cruel, twisted.

Perhaps no one has looked about, but we are facing such behavior now. Is then immortality to blame for the weaknesses of men? Or perhaps we fail to face that which even they who lead our people into their existence. Within men there exists a soul. All factions agree upon this and accept it as a fact. The thing which seems to be outside of common understanding is what we are truely fashioned for, who we really are. A people unaware of where they came from, where they are going and who they are. We grope, in the dark after a notion which we assume will unify us and propel us to victory over our soulless foes. Perhaps before we strike out on this latest of human crusades we might consider answering those simple, yet necessary questions.
