- to join in the effort! We must charge forward into a new era of compassion, companionship and good will! An era of expansion and enrichment! A golden era!--
We must forge a future for ourselves, our children, and our children's children that can withstand the forces that oppose us! We shall be victorious!--
What the Church of Voltec was created to do is to bring spirituality back into our lives, and into our world. Spirituality and knowledge. Our enemies have supressed the truth for too long!--
We can no longer stand idly by while they spread their lies and their disinformation to the people of our planet. We must fight back! We must take to arms, and defend ourselves against our oppressors!--
I am not, by nature, a man of violence. Nor are you, I know that. But the time comes when all people must do their duty to protect their ideology and to preserve their beliefs. That time has come. Our time has come.--
We will do what we must to protect ourselves and our families. We will do what we must to defend our beliefs against the heretics. We will go to war, if that's what it takes!
Who's this?
It's a guy named Gordon Halloway. Evil looking dude, yeah? Turns out he's McAllen's right hand man, runs the Vanguard's secret ops -- there's a goldmine of info on this datacube, yeah!
The Vanguard have a bunch of agents that they've bred in tanks. Their grasp of genetic engineering far surpasses anything I've seen so far, and I've seen everything.
From what I can tell, the Vanguard are up against an enemy they call the Fathers, or the Sentinel. Don't know who the fuck they are, but I'll find out. Must be the good guys, though, if they're fighting these creeps.
Anyhow, this guy, Gordon, he was originally intended for some kind of religious duty, whatever it was, for the Sentinel dudes. Let's say like the Dalai Lama, or whatever.
But the Vanguard kidnapped him before he was ready, and they did some shit with him, some experiments, to try to use his "powers" -- and I'm thinking, this spiritual crap, it's just bullshit. But!
Both the Vanguard and these Sentinel dudes, they believe this kid has powers, that he's destined for something very important. So when the Vanguard grab him, that's like holy shit! Big deal!
What kind of experiments did they perform on the child?
Weird fucking things, trying to control these "powers" he has. They fuck up big time, though, and the kid is totally screwed up. Split in half, in some spiritual way. One part chaotic, the other pure logic.
So now, this dude Gordon, he's like the coldest motherfucker you'll ever meet, so stay out of his way. According to these documents, he'll kill somebody for cutting in line ahead of him, or coughing in his direction.
How come the police were able to gather this much information on the Vanguard, and yet they don't do anything about it?
I dunno. Maybe it's routine, maybe they want something on the bastards to pressure them when they really need to. And maybe the information just got lost in the system.
The fact is, though, that with assholes like these walking among us, we're not safe. None of us. Least of all you. So please don't hang around longer than necessary, yeah?
He runs the whole dark side of the Church of Voltec, and I'm guessing he's next in line to take over, after old man McAllen leaves this earthly realm. Which could take ages, I'm afraid, with the tech these guys got.
What am I looking at?
(coughs) I played with...the map...you gave me, and though...there was information...missing, I-- (coughs)
Why don't you just take it easy for a while, don't say anything.
Gotta... They took it... See the flashing...cross? That's the...destination on the map...some kinda anomaly, I guess...
Nothing about it in...in any databank... But...right next...to it, there's a space port... The Morning Star... Transfer terminal to the...the colonies, luxury...hotels, casinos...
If you need...to get to the position...on the map, that...that's the way to do it... Go to the Morning Star...
