FX - ACHAON RUNNING TOWARDS VIDARNA
Achaon: âCaptain, are you harmed?â
Vidarna (regaining his breath): âNo. Throne alive, he tore right through the wall. Which way is he headed?â
Achaon: âThe bio-scanners have him making for the chapel.â
Vidarna (regaining his breath): âThen⦠we must⦠stop him.â
Achaon: âCan you bring him down?â
Vidarna: âBefore he mutated I would wager âyesâ but now⦠Well⦠There is only one way to answer that.â
Achaon: âWhat do we do if he escapes?â
Vidarna: âWe pray, brother.â

Urba: âSo this is what passes for a holy place? So cold and sterile, so dead. And the statue of your beloved Emperor has seen better days. Do you see how even a lifeless stone decays? How even the face of the Emperor gives way to rot?â
Vidarna (approaching): âThe statue is from the Ecclesiarchal palace, salvaged from the fires of the Age of Apostasy. It has weathered thousands of years and it will be standing here when you and I are gone. Not everything rots away.â
Urba: âThe image of Grandfather Nurgle would banish all this gloom. He would gaze down upon his congregation with laughter in his eyes. If you could but understand the blessings of Nurgle, my brother, you would clamber at the gates of his cathedral.â
Vidarna: âI will stand by my Emperor if the alternative is becoming like you.â
Urba: âBut you will become like me, Captain. Have you still not seen it? Look upon what the Grandfather has hatched within me.â
