Record of the Besainted Church

The Record of the Besainted Church is a series of audio-visual files maintained by Brother 2 of the Besainted Church of Pelagius. It is divided into files sorted by number, giving the history of the cult up to the point where it relocated underground in order to escape any more attacks by the Terran Confederacy and its ghost agents.

These files were stumbled upon by a Kel-Morian salvage team years later, technical officer Macy Clift watching and listening as she downloaded valuable data.

Files
The following transcripts of these files exist. They are all told by Brother 2, whose physical and mental health visibly deteriorates the entire time.

''The deaths continue but don't affect the joy with which we approach our daily work. Our daily work includes searching! And creating barricades!''

We are...ineffective.
