Part 41: Lord of Plagues

(It's been a while since they blindfolded us... Where could we be...? If the car kept going west, we could be all the way past Santa Balboa... I can tell the road is really steep and curvy... We must be on a mountain or something...) "...Angie, are you OK?"

Angie: "Yes..."

Hey, who told you to speak!?

Derek: "......"



Derek: "......"

OK, get out! Don't try anything stupid!
(Where are we...? ...Wait, that mountain looks familiar...!)
What a huge mansion... It's like a castle!
Shut up and keep walking!
...... (This is such a remote area... Is this Delphi's main hideout?)



Welcome to my manor... Dr. Stiles.

Looks like you guys are right about Delphi's cloning technology

The game will refuse to ever address it, though

You must be Delphi's new boss...
Exactly. I am Heinrich von Raitenau. I am overjoyed to meet the ones who blasphemed against Adam, my venerable grandfather. ...The vengeance I've waited so long to exact is now at hand.
So, you're the one behind all the outbreaks we've been fighting!
Ha! Doctors... You toy with men's lives, defying the rules of nature. YOu prevent natural selection from occurring, instead bringing mankind the pain of old age. And yet, you adamantly deny the truth...
If you would just leave things in our hands, humanity would return to its natural state.
...Don't you get it? Your acts of terrorism have all failed. GUILT is no longer a threat to mankind!
I--no, anyone who values life--could never understand what you're trying to do. And we don't care to! You're nothing more than murderers, hiding behind ideas that aren't even rational!
...This little sparing match of ideologies isn't worth my time. Truth shall prevail in the end. Besides, people like you could never understand the intricacies of GUILT like we do. It's unfortunate, Dr. Stiles.
You're right, it is unfortunate. I wish I could talk some sense into you.
...I find it humorous, though, that you actually believe GUILT is no longer a threat.
What...?
GUILT is limitless--the forms it can take, exponential. That serum Acropolis created... It will become as worthless as the fools who created it when we introduce new GUILT to the world.
A new strain!? How's that poss--
...Wait, then the GUILT we couldn't identify that was inside Emilio was...?

Oh, right. Nous exists. It's been so long since we treated it.

Hmph. We possess the hosts who give birth to new GUILT... Descendants of the noble Adam himself. Now, onto you, Ms. Thompson...
......



You, too have the genes of a Sinner. It must be fate that you have been brought back to us.

Wait, why did Blackwell joined Delphi again?


...Fuck.

Fate!? Don't give me that! You people ruined my father's life!
It is such a blessing that we have found the lost maiden--the mother for a new generation of GUILT. Your body shall nurture the new strain...I can't wait to tell the young Prince and Princess; this will surely satisfy them...
You're going to use Angie as a host!?
...Prince and Princess...?
You monsters! I won't let you do that to her!
*Cocks gun* Don't move!
Ngh...!
Resistance is futile, Dr. Stiles. Consider the situation you are in. Besides, you will be taking part in the coming of the new GUILT as well. YOu will make a fine test subject for the GUILT we cultivate out of her body...
You...!!
Save your breath. I've wasted enough time talking to you...
Take them to their cell.
Yes, sir! Get over here!
Heinrich! You can't do this!! Heinriiiiich!
......

*Derek and Angie are taken away*

...Heaven smiles down upon us.
