>>5733275>>5733277>>5733349>>Run full speed into the opening of the Chapel to save the Clergy. Attempt to activate the terminal before he can. A roll will occur if this option is selected. A fight will occur inside the Chapel.“‘Emerging from the ash, angel Ferio, casted aside, by his peers, rises again to seek out those who abandoned him.’” You say this out loud. If you are to live to be the legend you are made out to be, this is your duty. “Giselle, stay with the Priest. Save as many as you can or keep the Scavenger distracted.” You strip the cloak off your back exposing your chassis for all to see.
You hunch down, lean forward, and break out into a sprint straight for the doors of the Chapel blazing past the followers still protecting themselves from the falling rubble. The hostile administrator spots you as you’re almost there.
With a flick of his wrist in the direction of the roof, the head of the Scavenger bucks up and slams through the roof, punching a gaping hole in the surface. He doesn’t react to the intense sound or debris. He jumps straight in. All you can do is keep moving forward and brace for impact.
You smash through the door. The walls and roof are caving in and crumbling onto the floor. In the aft end of the Chapel is where the terminal is, projecting its light upwards. But just beyond that, you see the hostile administrator grasping a Clergyman by his throat. He snaps it with a twitch of his finger and drops the body. No remorse. Then he looks you directly in the eye.
“Was I interrupting something?” He asks this in a tone devoid of emotion.
“I was told there was another administrator who visited this district. Was that you?”
“The poor fleshlings didn’t like it when I came here last time. They said this was a ‘holy place,’ whatever that is. Especially these ones, with the shiny tunics. They really didn’t like me. I wasn’t strong enough at the time, all I could to was yell at them. But with my newfound powers, taking this is no problem for me.”
You pull up your HUD.
