Later that year, Sabbath attended the [[Hellfire Club]]'s ball at [[Medenham Abbey]], where he challenged Cousin [[Christine Summerfield|Eliza]] to a game of pontoon where the loser of each hand would have to give a truthful answer to the winner's question. He forfeited the match when asked who his employer was, and he advised Eliza to look into the death of [[Mary Culver]]. He then followed the [[Sieur d'Eon]] into the cavern beneath the Abbey, where he met Cousin [[Justine McManus|Justine]] and warned her the Service wouldn't let the [[Order of St Francis]] form an alliance with the [[Eleven-Day Empire]]. | Later that year, Sabbath attended the [[Hellfire Club]]'s ball at [[Medenham Abbey]], where he challenged Cousin [[Christine Summerfield|Eliza]] to a game of pontoon where the loser of each hand would have to give a truthful answer to the winner's question.

Later, the [[Earl of Bute]] instructed Sabbath to investigate the [[Supplication of the Anakim]] ritual, which was reportedly performed by Mary Culver prior to her death; Sabbath performed the supplication ritual on himself and, rather than becoming fully possessed, simply became driven to serve the [[Great Houses]] by bringing Justine to justice. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sabbath Dei (audio story)|Sabbath Dei]]'') He found Justine at [[St James' Square]] and transformed the architecture into a courtroom in the jurisdiction of the Houses. When Justine challenged the validity of the [[Grandfather Paradox|Grandfather]]'s crimes in the light of [[Lolita]]'s violations of the protocols of history, Sabbath summoned Lolita to the courtroom to hear her testimony; after this testimony, met with no objection from the Great Houses' representatives, he dismissed Lolita and condemned Justine to the [[Homeworld]]'s [[Shada (prison)|prison planet]]. | Later, the [[Earl of Bute]] instructed Sabbath to investigate the [[Supplication of the Anakim]] ritual, which was reportedly performed by Mary Culver prior to her death; Sabbath performed the supplication ritual on himself and, rather than becoming fully possessed, simply became driven to serve the [[Great Houses]] by bringing Justine to justice.

During this, he became an uneasy ally of [[Compassion]]-as-Culver in her plot against Lolita. Shortly after his ritual, he told Compassion (through Lord [[Sandwich]]) that he would keep out of her way if she kept out of his, and while taking Justine to trial he told Eliza and d'Eon where to find the [[Peking Homunculus|automata]]. By summoning Lolita to the courtroom, he also gave them an invaluable chance to attack the automata. After the trial, his commitment to the Great Houses fulfilled, he visited Compassion to congratulate her on her victory over Lolita, telling her and her allies where to find Justine.
