00:09This is an emergency.
00:11We have a new contact and I need you to make the pickup.
00:13A contact?
00:15Yes.
00:16Bishop Delandre of the Order.
00:18He is seeking employment at the Craven Corporation.
00:21A bishop?
00:22Defecting?
00:23That's what I said, Major.

06:37Hey, hey, hey. Padre, you're safe. We got you. Dropship Denver. Have medics ready. We got a bleeder.
06:45No. No time for medics. I am beyond their skills. I will pay the price for turning my back on the Order.
06:53Don't be crazy. We didn't come all this way to let you die in our arms.
06:56No. No more time. You must stop the Order. Project Garm. They are wrong. Not angels. Devils.
07:11Take this data disk. Tell them. Devils. Devils.

08:53Move order received.
08:57Mission accomplished. Enemy attacking command ECC.
09:03I know the medics would issue a reprimand if they caught me going over my alcohol allowance, but I need a drink to drive that bishop's face from my mind.
09:12I'm afraid of fear as much as his wounds, like the hounds of hell were actually going to pour out of the sands to get us.
09:17What the hell was he thinking trying to defect? I've seen bishops wield their own hearts to stop before letting a heretic touch their robes.
09:24Then there's this guy running to us like we were his only hope in the world.
09:28I wish we'd justified his faith.
09:30You must stop the order.
09:32But why?
09:33What is Project Garn?
09:35And what could be so terrible that it could turn a bishop into a traitor?
09:39Maybe after another drink I can follow in Mika's orders and forget everything I saw and heard today.
09:45I'm beginning to really hate this assignment.
