Fire!

[soldier] On your left!

[soldier] You! Look sharp!

-[gasping]
-[soldier] Remember, Cadia stands, always!

[Narl] Have you stabilised
the south eastern trenches?

[Narl] Have you stabilised
the south eastern trenches?

Yes, sir. Shored up just as you ordered.

Very good.

And the las-battery emplacements
to the east?

Re-supplied, sir.

The eastern line won't buckle.

-[gasps]
-Now, Prado, I need...

[groans]

[noise of disgust]

Get up, soldier!

Get up, soldier!

No wallowing in the filth.

Everyone here stands.

[sighs] Yes, sir!

Futro sent you from High Command.

The alien's hive mind
is interfering with communications.

The vox is down.

Yes, sir.

You have a message?

More of a question, sir.

[distant roar]

Well, spit it out, then.

Can't you hear?

The enemy are about to try their luck.

Medic!

Harlan! With me!

Sir!

-[Eoin groans]
-Keep this one alive.

Get him back to command
to deliver my reply.

[gasps]

Consider it done, sir.

Cadia stands, sergeant.

Cadia stands, sergeant.

Cadia stands, sir.

You! Move those corpses.

Form a barricade.

You want to make this easy for them?

[Narl] For Emperor's sake!

Cadia stands?

Forgive me.

I thought, well...

Wasn't your whole planet destroyed?

It was.

[Harlan] The arch-enemy came
with overwhelming force

and vile sorcery,

and broke our world to pieces.

and broke our world to pieces.

They destroyed the ground we walked on,

but Cadia is more than that.

Cadia is us.

Cadia is everywhere now.

[gasping]

But I'm just a messenger.

Everyone here stands.

[distant w*r sounds]

Tread carefully.

Some of them might still be alive.

They're all dead.

I wasn't talking about anything human.

There's... There's so many.

Keep moving.

I never knew...

This is the truth of w*r.

[soldier panting]

[soldier gasping]

Harlan! Over here!

There's someone alive in there.

[straining]

Help me!

We need to keep moving.

We need to keep moving.

This section of the trench
could be overrun at any moment.

We can't just leave him.

We can't take him with us.

We can get him to a medic.

[gasping]

[soldier] My g*n.

My g*n.

[pained breathing]

How could anyone have survived this?

No... You're not...

My g*n!

Take it easy.

We're going to get you some help.

[coughing]

Harlan, please!

We can't just leave him.

We can't just leave him.

This is your trench line, soldier.

Help me get him up to the firing step.

There's no way!

[Harlan] You wanted to help him.

So help him.

He can't hold this line.

While he has breath in his lungs
and a g*n in his hands,

his duty is not done.

Cadia stands.

[breathing heavily]

The Casadorian 7th
are holding to the West.

As are the Miren 9th.

Well? Do you have a reply?

Yes, sir.

[distant explosions]

[Futro] What did she say?
Will the Cadian lines hold?

Well,
they did lose their own world after all.

She says they'll stand.

[Futro] Is there a difference?

[Eoin] Yes.

There's a difference.

Cadia is all of us now.

Cadia stands.
