Guardian Prize (Help With Parsing Please)

[JJ109]

Last two to finish

Pious type, caging a wicked god, the brute (6) S _ D _ S _
It must be SADIST - I see ST for pious type, "caging" "adis".........?

I've got your communication, as by some modem or nanotechnology (7,8)
_ E _ S _ G _ / R _ C _ I _ E _
It has to be Message Received or Message Receiver but I can't parse

Many thanks

[vetuste_ennemi]

S(a+Dis[=God of hell])t is the first I think

[JJ109]

Thanks v-e - due to me not knowing that Dis was the God of Hell

[vetuste_ennemi]

...obviously receivequote[d]...dunno, IT coms protocolos?

[vetuste_ennemi]

receive[i]d

[vetuste_ennemi]

receivequote[d]?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Give up. I think it ends in d.

[iminoz]

This seems too obscure, but MEMO and NOTE are contained in the clue. Any help?

[JJ109]

Thanks Iminoz - I am sure that has something to do with it, and "communication as by 'memo" or "note" presumably leads to "message". I've got = received
I am sure the answer is message received but I don't like not getting the entire wordplay.

[Jackdaw33]

Memo and Note are both types of message which are 'received' into the wordplay. Best I can do.

[Indianan]

Memo and note are embedded in the slightly obscure wordplay after the definition.
