Sanctuary Attack - September 14th, 1995
Mission Briefing
Apollo:
Survivors, some of you already know this, but we’ve received a message from the Requiem. It stated that they wished to open a dialogue with the KSSA. Instead, I felt it would be more productive for them to speak to all of us. So, I invited their representative here to speak to us today.
RTR Speaker, Heskel Argent:
Everyone, it’s so great to see all of you today here and alive. I hope everyone is well. Further, I hope that there is no ill will toward us, for our actions were never malicious. We act almost as a caring father correcting the path of innocent children. For you all are ignorant of the truth of the world and the Returned. Today, I will enlighten you all on the path to safety, wisdom, and peace. Join with the Requiem, you will never worry for a meal, never live with the crushing loneliness, and never fear for your safety. Those initiated into the fold know and embrace their own returning. In two months time, I myself will celebrate my own Returning on my thirtieth name day and will join our brethren in the world. All initiated old and alike live for one another, we are freed of any burden, loved by each other. This my friends brings me to my final point. We absolutely forbid the killing of any who have Returned, by initiated and uninitiated alike. This kindness also extends to those unfortunate enough to have returned before their 30th names day. For even those wretches have attained a level of enlightenment though far below those who return after. We will not suffer to stand and watch as all of you continue to murder or brethren. If these actions do not cease immediately…
Apollo:
I’ve had about enough of this. You can leave now.. We will not be asked to risk our lives living amongst these abominations that you call the return. They are clearly just dead lifeless husks, with the insatiable instinct to feed. Your delusions will simply lead to the gruesome and disgusting deaths of hundreds of innocent people. Especially those who are ignorant or desperate enough to believe this inane conspiracy.
Heskel Argent
If you will not suffer us and CEASE the murder of our brethren then we will consider this whole area to be lost! You will regret your decision today and the sound of your suffering will be a joyous CHORUS. The melody of our song riseth into a CACOPHONY of retribution!
Yang:
They’re here. Large hordes approaching from the North, Northwest, and South and Southeast.
Apollo:
Survivors, guard this Sanctuary, protect our home.
