Capsuleer insanity

I thought mr. Quirinus was better after confession. He really resolved to stand fast against the temptation to publicly proclaim himself Emperor, and he saw the error of his ways.

That did not last long.

Upon my return from my explorations, unfortunately I found that mr. Quirinus has lapsed back into his prideful and sinful thoughts. 

Perhaps it is a form of madness. One that is not curable by confession and meditation. It is said that when capsuleers clone too often, and perhaps use those cheaper clone bays, errors creep into their infomorph, accumulate over time, and turn them insane. Often this expresses itself in delusions of grandeur. And, contrary to non-capsuleer humans, there is little help to be expected - they cannot be confined for a period of time to a mental sanatorium to heal.

I am afraid I can not help mr. Quirinus any further. Perhaps the best we can do is help channel his madness towards a good purpose? If he would indeed focus his efforts in building a chapel or a church in some faraway place, it might still benefit him as well as the Empire.
