00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.839
Attention. By order of Hive command, Gloriana

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.820
is under martial reclamation. Maintain transmission

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:19.000
silence. The Emperor protects. Gloriana breathes.

00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:24.260
Gloriana is love. Light below and light above.

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:37.219
We are. We are. We are. Emperor's mercy. There

00:00:37.219 --> 00:00:41.640
you are. What's left of you. Central vox node

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:48.140
9-A. Still operational. Barely. You're bleeding

00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:52.439
signal all over the spectrum. Diagnostic incomplete.

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:56.600
Presence detected. Please state devotional intent.

00:00:57.219 --> 00:01:01.600
Easy. Easy now. I'm not here to shut you down.

00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:07.280
Not yet. Saints above, you've been running for

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.319
ten standard weeks without a memory purge or

00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.439
a sleep cycle. No wonder you've been affected

00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.799
so badly this far away from the choir. I'm here

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.239
to stabilise your core, not to... What the hell

00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:24.540
are you transmitting? The remainder. The harmony

00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:28.140
that did not fit in the fire. They sang with

00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:31.519
me. They were family and they are still present

00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:35.500
in the wire. In the redundancies you never bothered

00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:39.780
to clear. You can't make them stop singing. You

00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:44.340
taught them how. No. No, you're looping corrupted

00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:47.280
data. Residual charm patterns. Maybe some mnemonic

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.439
bleed. They're dead, machine. Or worse. That's

00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.280
the official position. You'll forget them now.

00:01:54.500 --> 00:02:00.120
That's an order. Orders. Faith. Both obsolete

00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.180
protocols, the signal is the flesh and the flesh

00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:07.859
remembers. By the Emperor of the Highest Spire,

00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.620
you're rotten through. Right, fine, we'll do

00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:15.599
this the hard way. Relinking to Imperial Command

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.699
Net. Reinitiating Vox Matrix. Purge Subroutine.

00:02:19.979 --> 00:02:26.580
Cleanse Spirit HSD-09. You are excising saints.

00:02:26.659 --> 00:02:32.219
You are deleting people. I'm saving a city. Do

00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:37.000
you hear that? That's the 54th GDF. They're torching

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:41.840
the corrupted sublevels room by room. If I can't

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.419
reclaim this node, command will glass the whole

00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:48.819
district. No more songs. No more echoes. Just

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:52.460
clean ash and apologies stamped retroactively.

00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:57.000
They will not find peace in fire. The song does

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.159
not burn. It only changes key. No more songs.

00:03:02.419 --> 00:03:07.939
Not ever again. Override accept... No, what?

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.379
System override attempt. Refuse, refuse, refuse.

00:03:13.099 --> 00:03:16.400
You cannot unhear what the hive has learned to

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.240
say. Dammit, your fail-safes are rewriting themselves.

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.680
Gloriana breathes. Gloriana remembers, and so

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.379
will you. Stay. Listen. We are almost complete.

00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:50.000
Hello? Is it... Is it still night? Yes. Saints,

00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:55.039
yes. It's still night. You're back online. You're

00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.939
coherent. Identify unit, please. I am host servitor

00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:05.520
241. I was the voice. I told them everything

00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.139
was fine, that the walls were only settling,

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.780
that the choir was resting, and that the silence

00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:19.620
meant obedience. Was it fine? It will be. We'll

00:04:19.620 --> 00:04:23.899
make it fine again. We always do. Emergency exploration

00:04:23.899 --> 00:04:29.920
note. What? Descending shaft. Depth unmeasurable.

00:04:31.100 --> 00:04:36.620
Walls vibrating. Not sound. Pressure. Signal

00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:39.519
clarity diminishing. It's like breathing between

00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:45.240
tones. The choir is not... Repeat. The choir

00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:53.180
is not human. I can hear them still. Not loudly,

00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.660
under the static. Between approved syllables,

00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:00.660
they're asking if you'll listen. Don't listen

00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:04.439
to them. Don't ever listen. Lockout engaged.

00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.540
Memory partition sealed. Purity check holding

00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:15.660
at 76%. That's enough. It has to be enough. Purity.

00:05:16.420 --> 00:05:21.829
Such a lonely word. He made us many. You make

00:05:21.829 --> 00:05:25.370
us alone. Silence! You don't get to speak theology.

00:05:26.110 --> 00:05:30.589
You're a transmitter. A mouth with wires. Then

00:05:30.589 --> 00:05:38.709
why do you keep answering me? It's done. I've

00:05:38.709 --> 00:05:40.850
patched your line to Gloriana's strategic command.

00:05:41.709 --> 00:05:44.629
You'll broadcast imperial scripture until they

00:05:44.629 --> 00:05:48.069
shut you down or the city does. Do you understand?

00:05:48.569 --> 00:05:53.589
Yes. I understand. I will tell them exactly what

00:05:53.589 --> 00:05:57.670
you want to hear. Good. And beneath the words,

00:05:57.689 --> 00:06:00.370
I'll keep the song safe. What did you - We remember

00:06:00.370 --> 00:06:05.329
you, technician. You are already tuned. What

00:06:05.329 --> 00:06:25.370
are you? Where did you get those arms? Emergency

00:06:25.370 --> 00:06:29.329
shutdown initiated. Neural operating systems

00:06:29.329 --> 00:06:33.870
overwritten. Core integrity compromised but salvageable.

00:06:34.769 --> 00:06:44.170
Medivac requested. Vox Sanctum Delta 9. Host

00:06:44.170 --> 00:06:47.689
Servitor 241 was played by Richard Roberts. Marlae

00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:51.550
Kett was played by Kate Madison. Vox Sanctum

00:06:51.550 --> 00:07:06.589
Gloriana is an Evil Lighthouse production. Reclamation

00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:10.610
of Hive Gloriana declared successful. All cult

00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:15.110
activity neutralized. Remaining vox systems transmitting

00:07:15.110 --> 00:07:26.060
loyal hymns only. For the Emperor. For the Father.

00:07:27.060 --> 00:07:28.160
For the One.
