The ink is Colorverse Andromeda. This is a lovely maroon with a bit of golden sheen. You can see this better if you zoom in on "were" in the first line.
I love this ink but in a pen that dries out easily, you have to keep an eye on it.

The Witch Roads
Kate Elliott

There were people who used their wicked power to rule. Well, not even to rule, but to take and to trample, to blight and to bleed life out of living things in order to extend and expand their own. As long as they shone brightly in their own eyes, in their own fastnesses, they cared not if they cast she world into darkness and despair and disorder.

She’d have to stop thinking like this. She seemed to have spent her whole life trying to make herself small, trying to be polite, apologizing when people walked over her, trying to be good-mannered. And what had happened? People had treated her as if she was small and polite and good-mannered. (Lords and Ladies)

The hundreds of workers' associations organized during the period 1870-1900 and the tens of publications give ample testimony to the energetic anarchist activity designed to destroy bourgeois, state and religious influences among workers.

"By strictly observing the few rules I had chosen, I became very adept at unravelling all the questions which fall under these two sciences [geometrical analysis and algebra]. So much so, in fact, that in the two or three months I spent in examining them – beginning with the simplest and most general and using each truth I found as a rule for finding further truths – not only did I solve many problems [...]" – René Descartes (1596-1650)

Portrait of René Descartes, and a quote : "By strictly observing the few rules I had chosen, I became very adept at unravelling all the questions which fall under these two sciences [geometrical analysis and algebra]. So much so, in fact, that in the two or three months I spent in examining them – beginning with the simplest and most general and using each truth I found as a rule for finding further truths – not only did I solve many problems which I had previously thought very difficult, but also it seemed to me towards the end that even in those cases where I was still in the dark I could determine by what means and to what extent it was possible to find a solution."

“Hence, this new device. It's called a randomizer, and it's fitted to the guidance systems and operates under a very complex scientific principle called pot luck. No one knows where we're going, not even the Black Guardian.”

“Not even us.”

— The Doctor and Romana, in “The Armageddon Factor”

"But the plans were on display . . ."
"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."
"That's the display department."
"With a torch."
"Ah, well the lights had probably gone."
"So had the stairs."
"But look, you found the notice, didn't you?"
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard."

"So much time," it groaned, "oh so much time. And pain as well, so much of that, and so much time to suffer it in too. One or the other on its own I could probably manage. It's the two together that really get me down."
