[On the screen appears a severe woman, with an authoritative air and a commanding voice. In the background the light sounds of a dog whining can be heard.]

I need not have set foot in this room before to know it is the den of a creature I have known too well in my lifetime. Such fascinating devices strewn about with all this degeneracy and madness. This place is neither Heaven nor Hell, and the Marquis de Sade has no right to the former and no recourse but the latter. That is a matter that shall be rectified shortly.

You may know me as Mme de Montreuil. My daughter with regret was and still is the Marquise Renee Pelagie de Sade. I bear lettre-de-cachet, an ordinance written by the hand of the King and ordained by God, granting me sole authority over the placement of the man whose position I have taken for a time, without interference via the courts or any erroneous third parties. It is with that authority that I address you, now, and this Admiral who refuses to face me.

I have read the written account of my son-in-law's death and his time here, of which I have now disposed, and I am unmoved. Unfettered from the trappings of societal reputation, I may at last speak candidly of matters past: This man is guilty of the crimes of rape, kidnapping, public indecency, sodomy, high treason, blasphemy, and sedition, and to have granted him power over another soul is damnable in itself. All who have permitted it are now culpable. It is therefore my demand that the powers in this place respect my will and the will of God and with my departure send this wretched man back to Hell where he belongs.

There are to be no negotiations. There will be no exceptions. This is what must be done.

You can't be-

You clearly have no

I -

For once, I can't think of a single thing to say.

Did he really commit rape?

[yourunichase]

Yeah, good luck with that.

[Rassilon would roll his eyes because, really, there are no Gods. His father does because, really, what God would care about savage aliens?] If that God of yours were all that interested in sending this 'Marquis' to your Hell, he'd have done so already. But what you speak about this man is the truth? [Because he went through his son's journal and saw him talking with the Marquis. This must be investigated, headache or not.]

If you have contact with this Admiral, do let me know.

[Aunt Agatha has found a kindred spirit...]

Just when I thought the company my nephew was keeping could fall no further. Actresses, communists and sodomites. This is no place for Bertie.

I wish you luck in sending the wretched creature you're searching for to Divine justice.

You disposed of his writing?
