As your devoted followers advance with the Loudly Squeaking Sinister Wheelchair - upon which there is now enthroned an oversized raw chicken, pink and glistening - you are suddenly ambushed by Cultist voices. You reach in panic for your weapons... but you realise the dialogue is coming from some walled-off adjacent tunnel, carried by the still, sepulchral stagnant air of the Underworld:
I do not know what sort of military commander this Voivod is, I think he is insane. He worships a cement mixer that he calls the Cauldron Of Lotan. He is obsessed with sacrificing girls to some stupid Devourer, some Great Wyrm. But what we actually need is guns! Like assault rifles firing 5.56mm ammunition! Ammunition is the most important thing down here! Really important! Underground in the Metro, ammunition is like currency, like life itself! Yet most of us are only armed with at best pathetic SMGs firing 9mm ammunition, that cannot penetrate level 3 plate carriers or ballistic shields and riot armour... SMGs are completely useless against those opponents! We need assault rifles like those mercenaries guarding Paribus, grenade launchers or even a PDW like a P90 that can pierce armour with specialised ammunition! And look at what the Voivod has bestowed upon me... a sacred, blessed weapon... this broken pipe. The Voivod is such a stupid title, I do not know what it even means. I cannot even pronounce it. Why does he insist on being called The Voivod?
Another Cultist Voice says:
You know the Voivod has been down by the Cauldron for a long time without checking in. Maybe we should call him on the radio? But we are pretty close. We could just go over there and see if the scavengers brought back anything from the Bright Realm above...
The First Cultist Voice says:
Do not use the Wyrmsinger Talisman. Actually you have just reminded me. We need to see the Voivod personally, tell him the new 5-sequence alphanumeric code. We have literally just changed and upgraded the encryption. Imagine if someone had cheated and somehow gotten the old numerical only 3-digit code, and used the Talisman haha. How stupid they would feel to discover we literally just changed it, upgraded the numeric code to an impossible to decrypt 5 character sequence of numbers and letters. Ok some of those numbers and letters at the start and end are the same. It is actually like only 2 different numbers and one repeated alphabetical character. But still. Impossible, impossible to decrypt! Let us go find the Voivod now and demand more assault rifles from him, ask for the important armour piercing ammunition...
