After finishing her explanation to Lilitrick, Lilitrick refuses her an audience with Bax Spendlove. Impatient, Vienna shows Lilitrick the true miracle - the stigmata of Arno Goodfellow, the founder of the New Church of Wonderment. This forces Lilitrick to offer her an upgrade to a Grade 1 Miracle. Bax then rings Lilitrick and asks that Vienna bypasses the examination process and simply enters her meeting with Bax. Finally meeting with Bax and verifying the stigmata, Vienna reveals to him her name and previous occupation. He then rings up Kendra Spendlove, his wife, and asks her to join them. When Kendra enters, Bax explains that Kendra was once a member of the [[Old Church of Wonderment]] before meeting Bax and seeing the 'true path'. Kendra explains that despite the current seperation of churches, that both churches would be stronger as one. Bax explains that Kendra is venturing to the Phantom Deserts of Osuri to meet with [[Parsival]], the head of the Old Church. Bax asks Vienna to use her skillset wisely and accompany his wife on her journey, much to Kendra's dismay. Kendra states that 'Mr. [[Clancy]]', their inter-faith adviser, wouldn't allow it. | After finishing her explanation to Lilitrick, Lilitrick refuses her an audience with Bax Spendlove.

As Bax and Kendra argue over the issue, they soon learn that Mr. Clancy has been stabbed to death with a [[grudge knife]], which enters the body, deposits micro-drones into the veins that detonate when they hit a vital organ. On the wall, in Clancy's blood, is written a message. Vienna explains that you can program the blood spatter to form a very specific pattern. In this case, it is a message reading: 'The Old Church will destroy all from within'. Bax seems to think that it is part of Parsival's scheme to destroy the New Church from the inside. Bax stubbornly states that due to Vienna having acquired more knowledge on the murders than the police have ever managed, that she ''will'' join Kendra on her mission to find the truth. Vienna decides to ask Lilitrick how long she knew that Clancy was dead. She notes that despite using the intercom to attempt to contact Clancy, she didn't give him enough time to respond before checking up on him. When Lilitrick protests her innocence, she suggests that perhaps she could take a [[memory scan]]. With the memory scan, she notes Lilitrick walking in on Clancy being brutally murdered by a nine foot demon in armour, riding a horse.

With the memory scan, she notes Lilitrick walking in on Clancy being brutally murdered by a nine foot demon in armour, riding a horse. She explains that she is wearing [[miracle lense]]s, which reinterpret everything the wearer sees back as a miracle whilst also filtering out things that may cause the wearer to question their beliefs. Due to the lenses being forbidden, Bax scolds her and sends her to the confessional booth to reflect upon her actions. Bax then asks Vienna to remove Parsival from his position, thus turning people to the New Church, to which she agrees. | ||
Within the confessional booth, Lilitrick Raliaminopololis is interrupted by an unknown person who proceeds to murder her. Whilst aboard Vienna's ship awaiting disembarkation, Kendra relays Vienna's idea about surveying Clancy's last memories to see if it gives them any clues as to his murderer. Bax plays the death confession, which plays to only Bax's ears, that Clancy not only had unjust thoughts about coveting Kendra, but also openly admits to conspiring with Bax and being a faith stealer and then selling it to the wealthy, in order to raise the profile of the religion. Bax then goes ahead and deletes all information that would incriminate him, before reopening coms and giving the all clear to Kendra. Bax then reveals that he plans to ride along with them, and reassures Kendra that he will not be joining them on their mission. | Within the confessional booth, Lilitrick Raliaminopololis is interrupted by an unknown person who proceeds to murder her.
