Description:

This will be a series of ATCs based on Dante's 9 circles of Hell. Well, plus the Vestibule but that isn't technically Hell. Base your ATC on your interpretation of each circle.

The Vestibule to Hell - The "Opportunists"

Dante enters Hell's Gates:

Through me the way is the city dolent;
Through me the way is to eternal dole;
Through me the way among the people lost.

Justice incited my sublime Creator;
Created me divine Omnipotence,
The highest Wisdom and the primal Love.

Before me there were no created things,
Only eterne, and I eternal last.
All hope abandon, ye who enter in!

The Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto III, Lines 1-9
Translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (the best translation in my opinion)

The Opportunists - those who lived only for themselves are doomed to forever chase a banner which cannot be caught, stung by wasps and flies while blood and pus drips to the ground to be consumed by worms and maggots. Yum!

So one ATC to one partner.
