## Transmission

{DOVAHCOM}

Sire, I don't mean to intrude, but a matter of urgency has arisen.

{ABRAHM}

If it's anything to do with accounting, you know that isn't my division, that's downstairs.

{DOVAHCOM}

Sire, I don't think accounting is the real threat, given everyone is now plagued.

{ABRAHM}

Oh splendid, then false alarm, back to the grind!

{DOVAHCOM}

I'm afraid that is not an option right now.

{ABRAHM}

DovahCom, are you here to grace me with kisses or slice my throat? Which one?

{DOVAHCOM}

Depends on which you would like first.

{ABRAHM}

SPILL THE NEWS, FOR GOODNESS SAKE!

{DOVAHCOM}

I have detected large energy signals scattering just outside of our atmosphere, transcending across the cosmos. It seems a "star" must have exploded in outer space.

{ABRAHM}

And you deem this as a threat, how?

{DOVAHCOM}

Well sire, when you couple the galaxies happenings with the current resistance from our plague walkers, it seems some of that energy might have helped bring back partial sentience.

{ABRAHM}

They're resisting?! I thought the Kirochips were working perfectly!

{DOVAHCOM}

Several civilians coursing this world are roaming without Kirochips, as the program was initially an optional implement. Several vigilante justice groups have banded together to swarm the Domeplex.

{ABRAHM}

But did they not see the reception we gave them?

{DOVAHCOM}

Sire, even you know all of that was a lie, and it seems some civilians saw right through it. I heavily advise we proceed with caution, grace, communication will be key to-

{ABRAHM}

Do you really think these peasants will listen to grace? They're far past that point. These fools have no idea what they're about to put a stop to. Do they not see this as a chance to start the world over differently?

{DOVAHCOM}

Again, they perhaps disagree, sire.

{ABRAHM}

Well, if they won't swim with the waves, the waves will come crashing down. DovahCom, what say we pushed out the BioTide program?

{DOVAHCOM}

As you wish, sire.

{ABRAHM}

They really thought resistance was an option. And you dared to think that empathy was going to fix any of this.

{DOVAHCOM}

I-

{ABRAHM}

What, DovahCom? Go on, finish your sentence, please enlighten me, what is it that you think I'm missing?

{DOVAHCOM}

Nothing, sire... all is well, sire.

{ABRAHM}

I thought nothing more and nothing less. As I have stated: If they won't listen to reason, we'll give them reason. Summon the BioTide, now!

{???}

Even throughout the midst of an ever growing apocalypse, light always finds a way to reignite the spirit that was once darkened by demolition. It takes leaps with great strength to jump into things felt much further away than they actually are. All it takes is one jump to conquer it all. You may very well be surprised what happens when you leap for the great beyond.

## Into the Beyond

Before the transmission, Goliath reactivates the Beyond, a spherical orb of light in the sky, to help the Colony Soldiers and cure some of the plagued Nadorians. The star DovahCom mentioned is highly likely to be the Beyond.
