Spendlove asks Vienna to join Kendra on her mission to meet with [[Parsival]], head of the Old Church, in the [[Phantom Deserts of Ossuary]] and calls upon the inter-faith adviser [[Darrow Clancy|Clancy]] to confirm that this would not be an issue, only for Lili to find that he has been killed by [[micro-drone]]s released into his body by a [[grudge knife]] just as several other members of the church have. In his [[blood]] is written, "The Old Church will destroy all from within", a message which Spendlove believes implicates Parsival. Vienna deduces that Lili already knew that Clancy was dead given how little time she gave him to respond to the [[intercom]] and a [[memory scan]] reveals that she witnessed the [[murder]] whilst wearing forbidden faith-aiding [[miracle lens]]es which made it look like he had been killed by a [[demon]]. | Spendlove asks Vienna to join Kendra on her mission to meet with [[Parsival]], head of the Old Church, in the [[Phantom Deserts of Ossuary]] and calls upon the inter-faith adviser [[Darrow Clancy|Clancy]] to confirm that this would not be an issue, only for Lili to find that he has been killed by [[micro-drone]]s released into his body by a [[grudge knife]] just as several other members of the church have.

Spendlove sends Lili to the [[confessional booth]] to expunge her [[memory|memories]], where she is later murdered, and tasks Vienna with [[assassination|assassinating]] Parsival for the sake of the New Church, giving her [[sunglasses]] which will allow him to monitor her progress. He edits Clancy's [[post-death confession]] to cover up the fact that the two of them sold faith to [[celebrity|celebrities]] to raise the church's profile and goes with Vienna and Kendra, whom he informs of Lili's death, as far as [[Ossuary City]]. On the journey, he gives Kendra a [[hip flask]] full of [[wine]]. Vienna and Kendra ride [[Chidnos]] to the [[Sacred Tunnels]], on the way to which Kendra recounts how he found herself with stigmata and faith in the New Church after meeting Spendlove for the first time. | Spendlove sends Lili to the [[confessional booth]] to expunge her [[memory|memories]], where she is later murdered, and tasks Vienna with [[assassination|assassinating]] Parsival for the sake of the New Church, giving her [[sunglasses]] which will allow him to monitor her progress.

A [[robot]] at the tunnels' entrance sends to Parsival their request for a meeting and it is almost immediately granted, surprising Kendra as she expected it to take a week. | ||
Vienna and Kendra are given [[robe of shame|robes of shame]] to wear as they are led to the fifty-foot tall Parsival, but Vienna is able to use a hypno leech on a [[monk]] to take her place so that she can slip away as she immediately recognises that Parsival is a hologram. She finds [[Percival Kendric]], Kendra's former lover whom she wishes to care for since he lost his faith and had to be replaced with a hologram. Kendra explodes into [[light]], killing Percival as well, and Vienna is rendered unconscious until she wakes up on her ship with Spendlove. He admits to having put a [[thermal explosive]] in Kendra's wine and that he intends to destroy the entirety of the Old Church rather than just Percival. In turn, Vienna admits that she was never infected with faith and that her stigmata was fake and then gets Spendlove to listen to Kendra's post-death confession; in it, Kendra explains that she conspired with Percival to place his faith inside Spendlove to unify the churches. | |||
Bax suddenly goes split-personality. Vienna explains to him that he'd been committing the murders in his own Church for months without even knowing. Bax and Kendric are both surprised when who they assume to be Arlo Goodfellow speaks to them about his anger towards their actions. Vienna tries to get them to see that it isn't Arlo. She explains that she's used Lilitrick's rose-tinted contact lenses on them, hence the hallucination of Arlo. Arlo then transforms into the real figure of Kendra Spendlove, who is very much alive. Vienna explains that she has been using the sunglasses to feed him false information. Vienna had located and removed the thermal explosive long before they began their mission, and that the rest was just play-acting. They both explain to him that miracle lenses did the rest of the work, only showing Bax what he wanted to see, including Kendra's supposed explosion. | Bax suddenly goes split-personality.
