Category:Team Caged Dove

The following is a list of items pertaining to Team Caged Dove, those heroes of the Sodality of Gerosha who chose, during the Beliah Amendment Enforcement Drives, to stay behind in Toklisana. Team Caged Dove elected to stay behind and deal with the Sodality's (and Toklisana's) enemies that were already on domestic soil, while also suing for the Sodality's right to exist in court. Team Caged Dove did this, realizing that it would all but guarantee that most if not all of their members would be captured and incarcerated, or else placed in an internment camp run by SCALLOP agents who sympathized with them.

By contrast, Team Spaghetti Liberation fled into exile in Europe, to take the fight to Rappaccini. This decision to break into different strike teams succeeded in thwarting most of the Icy Finger's evil plans; but at the expense of losing the ability to keep the Sodality together. Also, the two strike teams failed to stop Rappaccini from taking over Arkansas, and installing the Chrome Kite as a puppet government. These failures would lead to the Swappernetter Society, an offshoot of the Navyrope Society, becoming a resistance force unto its own inside of Arkansas. Likewise, stubborn Sodalists that had yet to be captured by either SCALLOP, the Toklisanan government, or the Chrome Kite, had to move to the western wild territories of what used to be Colorado and Wyoming, and live in exile. They would protect this western territory from Chrome Kite expansionist ambitions as the Sodality Western Militia, gaining a few new recruits along the way.

While at one point losing Extirpon when he turned himself in to free his wife and son, the Sodality Western Militia would eventually be fortunate enough to see a quirk of fate set him free, and return to them. Another consequence of Caged Dove and Spaghetti Liberation's tactics was that SCALLOP and the UMLI would no longer let the Geroshan and Florentine Sodalities work together, cutting off the Geroshans from their Italy-based allies for the foreseeable future.

Perhaps the most tragic aspect of Caged Dove was not that a majority of its members were (mostly wrongly) imprisoned; but that all the child-aged Sodality members were captured. None of them got a chance to flee to Italy, instead all being sent to SCALLOP Juvenile Containment Center (and later outsourced to other juvie centers) - with or without a concrete criminal charge - because of who their parents were.
