“Tania,” f/k/a: Patricia Hearst

You know the story. But:

before she was even an afterthought in Cinque's plans for revolution, Patty … encountered "A Wine of Wizardry" as an undergrad majoring in art history studying the Bohemians. She got the original copy of Cosmopolitan from 1907 from the Berkeley library and it started to weave its memetic spell on her. Then, the white SLA members gatecrash her party in January as a recon mission, then, the kidnapping in early February. Patricia goes through intense "programming" at the hands of Cinque and Willie Wolfe, which creates the revolutionary "Tania" personality, but underneath all that was the earlier, more powerful memetics of her "Fancy" identity gained from "A Wine of Wizardry," which now more than ever yearned for freedom, since that was her nature from the poem.

Fancy is where and how Patricia developed her psychic illusion powers, and her knowledge/memories of "Bohemia," fulfilling the purpose of the poem, to attract those kind of unstable, creative thinkers who could help Bohemia maybe live again.

Using less-than conventional means, URIEL located Hearst shortly after the she and the SLA robbed the Sunset District branch of Hibernia Bank at 1450 Noriega Street in San Francisco on April 15, 1974, during which Hearst killed two civilians. Posing as a destitute runaway sympathizer — though one with vague and useful family connections — Jocasta made contact with Hearst and infiltrated the SLA. She spent the next several days turning Hearst to URIEL’s cause and planning for her extraction.

Ultimately, Jocasta and Hearst — referred to internally at URIEL as "Tania," at least until a better handle is developed — kind of became a thing. Jocasta assisted Tania in reuniting certain "ghosts" of lost Bohemia, among them Ambrose Bierce and Jack London. Once completed, Jocasta recruited Tania to URIEL’s cause. Marshall and Roger then staged a murder scene in the desert involving Tania’s abductor and rapist, Donald DeFreeze, with the implication that Hearst had escaped, and was now free. The staging of that scene gave birth to one of URIEL’s new memetic projects: the Legend of Patty Hearst.
