Okay, so what things
did this one show you?

Just fragments. Nothing coherent.

Look, yesterday we went down
to the cave, some of us, anyway,

and it was a sh*t show.

I only just escaped

- "Shock troops".

ANNIE: If we go back in blind,
we'll be slaughtered.

Or worse. There are Touched down there

more like the living dead than people.

Whoever's running
this operation hates us

And as for the...

shock troops, yes,

that part of the plan
is already underway.

And no idea who these people could be?

Might even be someone from the future.

Hitched a ride like me.

Is that what the Galanthi showed you?

Like I said, not particularly coherent.

Anyway, Penance will work on weapons.

No, not weapons.

Nonviolent objects
of confusion and defense.

And I will continue drawing
up our rescue strategy.
