“ | Veng plans to lead his Highway Zealots in a scorched Earth campaign against the Survivors, Corpus, and Sentinels alike. He must be truly mad. | ” |
— Event Message #1 [src] |
“ | The Highway Zealots are infatuated with the Relic, an archaic Hard Drive from before the Great War. Malachi believes the Hard Drive stored the Machine God, which has now been unleashed due to its exposure to RUBI. However, no evidence of this is apparent, except for a mysterious gap in RUBI's memory banks which Malachi blames on the Machine God Itself. | ” |
— Event Message #2 [src] |
“ | Kara does think Malachi believes what he says, but she sure as hell doesn't. She believes Shadow has answers, since she was the one to break the drive's encryption before passing it to RUBI. We must continue our campaign against the Highway Zealots, but also see if we can learn what, if anything, Corpus did to corrupt RUBI. | ” |
— Event Message #3 [src] |
“ | Veng believes he can successfully wage war against the Survivors, Corpus, and the Sentinels simultaneously, Malachi believes he's unleashed the Machine God, and Kara suspects Shadow may have tampered with RUBI. This is quite the mess. For now, we continue our campaign against the Zealots and temporarily ally with Shadow and Corpus, to see what we can learn about her involvement whit the RUBI's memory lapse. | ” |
— Event Message #4 [src] |
“ | The Highway Zealots aren't giving up, Commander... and neither should we! | ” |
— Event Message #5 [src] |
“ | Rather than fighting a war he can not win against three Factions, Veng's plan all along was to destroy the entire Sector with a thorium bomb to protect the world from some unseen threat. Whether or not this threat is actually the "Machine God" as Malachi claims or something else entirely doesn't matter! If we don't stop Veng, the entire Sector will be destroyed... and us along with it. | ” |
