Upper containment field failed. Other fields intact. Recommended course of action is to disable sacrificial containment pillars to allow maintenance of containment field. All 4 pillars must disconnected before work can begin. The priestess must be on standby to act immediately to ensure personnel are not needlessly converted.
This section of the facility will remain in lockdown until containment is resolved. Confirm containment here once maintenance is complete.
The divine entity is dead. How many souls had it claimed up to now? I can still feel the odd feeling of it trying to get into my head lingering around here, but I can't just leave yet. We have stuff we need to find. There might even be someone it captured who can still be saved.
I found where it kept many of its victims. I can't leave them suffering like this. There's a remote chance their prayers could allow the divine entity to manifest again. I can't let that happen.
But it wasn't completely hopeless. There were a few that it hadn't fully consumed yet. It definitely had its hooks in them. They continue to pray to their dead captor. Even after taking them away from here, the constant prayer from the three of them would keep reinforcing the conditioning.
Hermit was making her way into the facility proper when I found her. "It is a relief. To see you safe." The worry in her voice is clear. She must have caught my message before I got grabbed. "It was some kind of divine entity, but I managed to kill it." "An easily expected outcome. The Divine Maiden prevails." She sounds very pleased with this turn of events. Somehow her taking me at my word feels even more unbelivable than what I did. "Really? You're just gonna accept that?" She shrugs. "This is sufficient proof." She gestures at the dolls that I brought with me, then at the trace amounts of quivering godstuff leaking from the walls. I guess that is proof enough. I really shouldn't question her powers of observation like that. Maybe it's just whatever is lingering in my head from that stupid pile of trash. "Can you lead the way back to the car? I'd rather not drag them around while we have to look for the M11." "Of course, Divine Maiden." She led me right back to the car and was fine with me staying there while she looked for the XM-8 or whatever since the main threat is gone. It didn't take long before Hermit found it and we were back on the road to deliver it.

There was one of those weapons intended for putting down divine entities sent here. I had only heard rumors about it before, but the orders about its use seemed absurd. If what I heard of the Night is true, that weapon isn't going to do anything when it gets here, and it's not like any dissidents are going to bother us considering the state of everything.
The way things are going, we're damned regardless. No Ordinal is here to enforce order. I'll take the weapon and end the divine entity here. Even if our death is inevitable, we can at least leave one less creature behind.
Familiar walls. Familiar floors. Familiar cells. Pass by a million cells. The familiar faces inside are different from the the last time. Even if the voices stop being familiar, the faces are still familiar? You've never seen these familiar faces before, and they don't know you either. Maybe if you come by again, the familiar will make sense.
Don't let this happen to you! Joining the ranks of the penitent is easy to avoid for any true citizen!

They say the reason the coffins were made was because it got out. The timing seems a little convenient, but it must run the priestess managing the God of Life and Death ragged having to constantly deal with long distant sacrifices.
