It’s Iimi! Damnatio Memoriae

It’s a whirlwind series of events (for someone like Iimi, anyway). The awkward arrival of a new pastor, club week, and then diving into records for their report can take its toll. However, a framework is being set up to allow them to examine the data and form a theory of who was targeted. But they discover something else. There seems to be little to show what happened in July 1898. Something Iimi calls Damnatio Memoriæ

Pre-Comic Notes:

Damnatio Memoriæ is a Latin term meaning “condemnation of memory.” It refers to erasing a person’s memory from official records, inscriptions, monuments, and other forms of historical documentation, particularly in Ancient Rome or Egypt. It can involve destroying depictions of the person (e.g., statues, portraits), removing names from inscriptions and documents, and rewriting history to exclude the person from official accounts.

Post-Comic Notes:

The cover is based on the principle of “quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur,” literally meaning ‘Anything said in Latin sounds profound.’ Or, in this case, menacing. Consider it a hat tip to the old Marvel and DC comics creating a cover that had nothing to do with the title, let alone the story. 

Much like Saul’s name, there is a theological pun in Beryl “Beri” Ayn’s name… but I’ll leave it to you to figure out.
