Fiamma, the new Pope of the Roman Catholic Church is doing his usual prayers at St. Peter's Basilica when his member of the God's Right Seat, Acqua of the Back meets him.
"Your Excellency, I have something to report about." He said.
"Please, no need for formalities Acqua, just call me Fiamma, that's all."
"Yes Fiamma, I'm here to report about our progress in England." Acqua said to him.
"And what is it?" Fiamma asks him.
"During one of our joint assault with the Russians against the Anglican Church and the British Royal Armed Forces, we have successfully captured London but we also informed that among the enemy casualties is none other than Dedicatus 545 or Index Librorum Prohibitorum. We found her among the dead at Canterbury Cathedral that is destroyed by unexpected Russian Artillery bombardment." Acqua said.
"But her body is intact right?" Fiamma asks her condition.
"Yes Fiamma, what are you gonna do with her?"
"All we need is her knowledge, not her body. As long we have her brains, we can extract the knowledge from her brain to us." Fiamma said his plan.
"So you are cooperating with the Russians just to get Index knowledge?" Acqua assumes this is Fiamma's plan.
"Yes my dear Acqua, it is." Fiamma said with a sinister grin.
"I understand. I'll arrange the shipment of her body to Vatican City." He said while leaving the St. Peters Basilica to arrange the transfer.
