NEW OBEDIENCE
Brother Peter came today with a new brother Susumu, who's right leg was missing, and Mother Estelle called us with Sister Klavdiya in her cell and gave us new obedience. Since we decided to open a hospice, she thinks it is a clever idea to learn more about medicine. Sister Klavdia and me, as the best doctors, are going to learn advanced surgery methods and prosthetics design. She introduced us to Brother Susumu and said that soon we will be able to make a real prosthetic leg for him. And meanwhile under Sister Klavdiya's guidance I will install him my first ever peg leg. Brother Peter was very happy to hear this news and expressed his hope that other brothers may be healed as well, because, as he said, up to now from ten brothers in the Monastery he is the only one without any injuries or diseases. "I feel myself like in a polyclinic, not like in a monastery!" – he laughed. But Brother Susumu did not even smile for some reason. Brother Peter also told us how beautiful it is at the Monastery – everything covered with snow! Although it is very cold. Abbot Ralph ordered ten parkas for all the brothers, because it seems like every winter they have a cold snap.

NEW COMPLAINS
It took two days for Emma (one of those prisoners who got at the trap) to make her decision about becoming a nun. All these two days she spent in her bed while sister Candice (this angel... after they beat her up!) was trying to recruit her, and as soon as she said she will stay, we found out that her spine was shattered, and she can't move at all. This news stirred up our sisterhood again and many sisters were saying that we must also change the way we accept new sisters as we just changed the Prisoners Policy yesterday. Why we should feed those who does not work? And they questioned the sincerity of her intentions when she basically did not have any other choice. Those rumors have reached Mother Estelle and at the dinner she spoke to all the sisters in a very strict manner, saying that everyone must remember why we became monastics and that our mission of love and compassion should be like a light in this cruel Rimworld. "If anyone wants to leave, you can leave. – She said – But if you stay, please, follow the holy rules of our Order and do not forget that we are not just a regular colony. We are the monastic settlement. And since today we are opening the hospice for disabled and elderly and this will be one of the ministries of our Convent". Everyone left the dinner in silent meditation about something sublime and mysteriously incomprehensible.

So, you blamed yourself, but punished the pawn! What the one who was the real cause deserved then???  O, cruel, cruel Rimworld!

SISTER'S DISTURBANCE
After that prison break everyone got very emotional, and it seemed like most of all because of Ratten's paw. It always amazes me how we start to cry seeing an animal losing its paw, but we remain cold and hardhearted when the humans lose their limbs. This is exactly what was happening. When ugly Lemur lost her leg, nobody was crying. When Blue lost her arm, everyone was talking only about her prosthophobe – there was no compassion. But now this puppy loses its paw and all the Convent (including me!) becomes restless; sisters are all in tears and they call a meeting to order and discuss our Prisoners Policy with such a zeal, as if they are deciding the destiny of mankind. Mother Estelle was forced to change her approach. We are not going to let our prisoners "just go" if they break from prison – it became too dangerous and may be a threat for our community. Instead we are going to install hidden traps at the prison doors and stop them in case of prison break before they cripple or kill somebody. And I am glad it has been changed. I did not like that spinelessness in the first place: mercy is mercy, but we must proceed from the realities of this Rimworld!

Each pawn increases raids threat level, so I personally try not to get useless ones.

There are no "useless pawns"! Every pawn has a right to live and to live a happy life!
We have to issue a Declaration of Pawn's Rights and ban players for pawn's discrimination 

Disarming prisoners seems like a thing that your guys should do.

Or like this, yes. Select your pawn, click on prisoner - disarm. Either way would be very helpful.

you can set pants+tshirt stockpile inside prison cell, prisoner will take his "prison uniform", his items can be used elsewhere.

Yes, yes... But, still it would be more convenient to have a drop arrow in gear menu after they get imprisoned.

A new work category "Cleaning+" near the left side of the work chart should assign pawns to clean High Priority Cleaning zones. This would allow us to, for instance, assign cooks to clean the kitchen before preparing meals, but without having the cook running all over the base to clean every spec of dirt.

Very good idea.

It would be nice to be able to take off those things from a prisoner without striping him completely... Maybe there is a way and I just did not find it?

UNGRATEFUL BASTARDS
The prisoners did not appreciate our new prison cells. Maybe they did not like the color of the carpet? We put so much work in it lately! Anyway, they started their prison break today around 9:00. By the blessing of Mother Estelle, we did not try to hold them. And this is what happened. One of them went East and escaped successfully. The other one went North and got under our turrets fire; he got a minor hit, but he also was able to escape. Now, the last two young women Emmo and Rush went South through the Convent. And as they were moving through our East defenses, they attacked Sister Candice, who was walking by and began to beat her up. Nun Candice is uncapable of violence and everything she could do is to try running away. Our new novice Emily was nearby and wanted to protect her with the knife, but those women appeared to be very aggressive and started moving towards her. Emmo got in the trap, but Rush attacked Emily and kept moving inside the Convent until three our Labradors jumped on her, digging with their teeth and paws in her body. But even then, she was continuing to fight: she destroyed Ratten's front left paw and nose of Paddington – two young Labradors born about a year ago. Brave Ratten lost the paw protecting his bonded master Emily. I just can't hold the tears from my tender emotions!

New event when Raid drops/attacks with a goal to free up their faction prisoners. If they get to your prison cells, they open doors and give weapons to the prisoners, who are joining the fight.

Not sure, maybe something like this already exist? I've never seen it is the game.

NEW PRIZON
It's been almost a month since my last record and it seems like nothing interesting is happening around. We did a lot of mining, improved some defenses and built six comfortable prison cells; it turned out that we did it very on time. Today brothers Luis and Remy came from the Monastery and brought three female prisoners with them. Abbot Ralph sent them here as soon as they were healed, because he does not want any women at the Monastery, even prisoners, and he said that we also can send male ones to the Monastery when we get them. They said they also have one older lady (who is not capable of walking yet) and two men. All of them were captured during last two raids, one after another at the same day. Twelve people first time, and six the second. They sounded very proud of themselves when they were describing their glorious battles. Abbot Ralph sent us also some wood and four large sculptures made by brother Aaron, and they look excellent; he must be practicing a lot and he is becoming a good artist!

THE FLU
When I get sick, I become like a crybaby. Only sad thoughts come to my mind. Because of the flu I was not able to attend the memorial ceremony for Brother Snay: today is two years since his holy head was eaten by that demonic fox. When I think about it, I am starting to weep. Abbot Ralph wanted to come, but he and a few more brothers got this flu as well. And on top of it my neighbor at the hospital insulted me. Some other time I would beat all the shit out of him, but now I am in a very sad mood and only tears are rolling down me cheeks: drip... drip... I am already tired of this flu. Ash visited me and told that Blue got into her pyromaniac thing again. This time it happened away from the Convent and she was left alone until she calmed down in a couple hours. We could say those were fireworks for the memorial day, I guess...

"FUNNY" NEWS
Well the news was not that funny, it is me, a bad girl, who is laughing at something worth crying over. When we returned to the Convent my friend Ash, as usually, told me all the biggest news. The first one was about a fight between Sister Albina and ugly Lemur. Those two I hate the most and therefore it did amuse me, although I understand it is not good to hate anyone and it is not good to laugh at something like that. Especially for a nun. But I just can't help myself: I hated Sister Albina from my first day at the Convent (I even beat her up a little then); and pure Lemur – everyone hates her. The funniest thing is that both are chemically obsessed... they supposed to be the best friends! And the second news was a prison break. Two male Assassins free up themselves late night and absolutely naked showed up in our yard. Sisters reacted immediately, and ugly Lemur put a bullet in one of them, but Mother Estelle stopped everyone. "Let them go, - she said, - If they are running, it is obvious they do not want to join. Just let them go." And they disappeared in the night. Now we have only one young girl in our prison and Sister Candice is opening to her all the beautiful sides of our monastic life.

Wow,  I am surprised she even could stand on her feet with 2% of heart left! And outrunning the firs raider was funny (I've never thought you could do that). Nice stories!
