ATLANINS III - IMPETUS PUBLISHER, EVERYSHORE
Legendary holoreel actor Jacques Benoit faced a flood of protest as multiple industry news outlets reported that he had signed a deal with the Amarrian Orthodox Church, Sedevacantist to star in a upcoming film about the coming of the so-called “True Emperor” of sedevacantist theology. “It is to be expected,” complained Minmatar-rights activist Astrid Svensson, “that after his last two films Rogue Drone Cyber Knight and Raiders of the Lost Takhmal Crystal Skull bombed at the box office, Mr. Benoit would take any opportunity for a big payday, especially given he’s currently undergoing his fourth divorce. What we didn’t expect was that Mr. Benoit would trample all over the Minmatar people to get that payday.” De facto sedevacantist leader Nauplius has repeatedly preached that the coming of his church’s “True Emperor” would be accompanied by the re-enslavement of all Minmatar, even those currently given freedom by the Amarr Empire. Further inflaming activists’ ire was the discovery in holoreel trade magazines of advertisments seeking “50,000 Ethnically Minmatar Extras” as well as “Industrial Quantities of Artifical Blood”, suggesting a film depicting the deaths of large number of Minmatar.
Sedevacantist Church spokesperson Calyce Io declined to comment on Mr. Benoit’s signing but said that a holoreel featuring the coming of the True Emperor is a long standing goal of the church. Mr. Benoit through his agent also declined comment on his deal with the sedevacantists, but claimed to have nothing but love and respect for the Minmatar people.
