Apostasy Prologue/Transcript

=Investigate the Reservoir on Lua, Orokin Era=

Following the Echoes
Margulis: "Do something! Get me out of here."

Ballas: "You know I can't."

Margulis: "Can't or won't?"

Ballas: "I told you not to speak out. If you recant, maybe..."

Margulis: "You lied to me, Ballas! You're no different than the rest of them."

Ballas: "Margulis, please forgive me."

Ballas: "Honored Seven, we have gathered here today to carry out the sentencing of Archimedean Margulis. You face the Jade Light, recant and we will grant a merciful death."

Margulis: "My daughters, my sons, I want you to know my last thoughts are of you."

Lotus' Chamber
Lotus: "How long have we waited for this moment?"

Operator: "I..."

Ballas: "Forgive me..."

Lotus: "For what? I am not who you think I am."

Ballas: "But of course you are! Imprisoned, just as she was."

Operator: [Grunts in pain]

Lotus: "Ballas...?"

Ballas: "I will not abandon you again, Margulis."

=Back on the Orbiter=

Ordis: "Operator? What is happening? Is the Lotus... is she gone...?"

Ordis: "Ordis will attempt to synthesize her mission objectives until we can figure out where she is."
