CYBERTRONIC | |
Just as the Cardinal Roland was about to speak, a messenger of the Cartel High Council entered the hall and called for silence. He bore with him grievous news for the people gathered at the devotion, and while he spoke the hall was emptied, leaving only Cardinal Roland and his kin of the Brotherhood. And the Cardinal had a premonition of dark times for the coprorations and mankind, because a new power had entered the scene. And the Cardinal's followers cried out in grief and fear, because the already meager resources of mankind were now further divided. And it was this that was to become known as the Founding of Cybertronic. And just as the Cardinal Roland had forseen, the rise of the new business empire seemed to have no ceiling. Day by day new losses were discovered among the directors of Mishima and Capitol; smithies, pits, docks, banks, universities and garrisons were secretly purchased by the Cybertronic crew, who were all former employees of other megacorporations. But however hard we tried, o Brothers, none of us could find the slightest trace of influence from the Dark Legion. Not even the Changellors grasping far into their minds found anything but cleanliness and health. And so it was that the fifth, and so far last, of the megacorporations saw the light of day.
