## Long Roads To Ruin, Part 1

### Plot

Rom and Livia orbit Earth. Earlier, Rom, Livia, and Orphion determined that the planet was riddled with the Wraith infestation. Orphion counsels the planet's destruction, but Rom is adamant that the infestation can be excised without destroying Earth. Rom suggests splitting their forces and attack multiple targets. Rom and Livia head to Europe, while Orphion investigates the 37th Parallel.

In Providence, Darby Mason and Ruan Sablik stake out the Dire Wraith warehouse holding the device capable of exposing Wraiths. They infiltrate the building; while Darby holds off the Wraith guards, Ruan access the device's hiding place on a different plane of existence. Ruan retrieves the device – the arm of a Space Knight complete with Analyzer – but at the cost of his own life.

In Sicily, Livia detects two elderly Wraiths on a ferry enjoying retirement. She demands to know the Wraith's plans and she will grant them a quick end.

In Pismo Beach, two Wraiths disguised as police officers head to Camilla Byers' room to kill her, only to find her awake. Scared, Camilla manifests a giant Wraith arm in place of her amputated one and kills the two Wraiths. However, she feels no Wraith presence inside her, and decides to escape the hospital.

Rom pulls Livia away from the Wraiths. While she is angry at his seeming mercy, Rom has another plan. The Wraiths, now spooked, call in reinforcements. Rom eliminates them after they make contact, and the pair await reinforcements. From the water, two huge Wraith tentacles grab them and pull them underwater.
