Conversation between Karras and Truart
---------------------------------------
Karras: Behold, Sheriff Truart! From the lowly street rot emerges the
loyal worker. That which I call...the Servant.
Truart: THIS is one of the tramps I delivered to you? The
transformation is spectacular!
Karras: And neither want nor worry has he.
Truart: Lucky fellow! Strange you should mention worries,
Karras...because I do have one. It's not that the money's not
right, no...it's just that I need to be convinced you've taken
the proper precautions. The Truart name is untainted by
scandal, and I will not be the one to bring it humiliation and
ruin.
Karras: Trust thee in me, for 'tis The Builder Himself who guides me.
And the baron...need never know.
Truart: Yes...I'm glad your Builder guides you, but it would make
me feel even more confident if you were to let me in on
your...WHOLE scheme. Come now! What's the crux of it all, eh
Karras? Show me what's so special about your new Servants.
Karras: Ehm...'tis impossible to hide anything from YOU, good Sheriff.
I will give thee full explanation then in the form of...a
demonstration. The visual in this instance would far surpass
any...verbal elaborations I could relate. But, I must ask thee
to step away from the masked servant. That's right. And
meanwhile, I will retrieve our...volunteer. A most unfortunate
guttersnipe who waits just outside.

Karras: Come, come, gentle beggar. And stand ye JUST there, next to
the masked man. Yes. Now, all is in readiness, so keep thine
eyes on the new arrival, whilst I signal the Servant...thusly.
Truart: My word! The mask emits a red vapour!
Woman(screams): Uh! Please, no! Help!
Karras: Continue thy observations, Truart.
Truart: But it consumes them! We're in peril!
Karras: Fear thee not, stout Sheriff, for we are safe at this
distance! See? Already the reaction ceases.

Truart: They're gone! And what remains in their stead? Sand?
No...RUST!
Karras: Indeed, 'tis very much like rust, and harmless once settled.
Brother Feegan, I pray thee, do sweep up...what is left of
those two.
Feegan: Yes.
Truart: A weapon then! Quite fantastic! And...monstrous! Of course,
you'll keep these Servants you're making away from me and my
men?
Karras: Thou need not even ask!
Truart: Then, we are in agreement! You need subjects for your Servant
project, and I can supply them. Vagabonds, street scum,
prostitutes...those who will not be missed by anyone of
consequence. They'll be rounded up, charges invented, et
cetera. Still, there's always risk. So I will give
you...twenty, no more. For your part, you'll rememeber to keep
our transactions ABSOLUTELY secret! And of course, deliver my
payment...IN ADVANCE, IN FULL...tomorrow. I don't trust you,
Karras. So you'll receive the subjects only after I confirm the
payment. Well, our business here is finished.
Karras: Yesss...Fare thee well, Truart!

Karras: Now see, friends...with the Builder's efficiency I have
completed TWO tasks, with but ONE...effort. Firstly, I did
secure twenty subjects to be transformed into Servants, as you
heard. And secondly, I secured the loyalty of the wary Sheriff
Truart. Yes! His loyalty...heh. Truart fears scandal. Yet his
actions of late could bring him that, or worse, if ever made
public! Now, behold, my wax cylinder machine! I've used it to
capture the Sheriff's very words, even as they moved through
the air, today. Harken, friends!
Truart(from the recording): ...and I can supply them. Vagabonds, street scum,prostitutes...those who will not be missed by anyone of
consequence....
Karras: With his voice thus preserved, Truart dare not betray me or
he'll have the scandal he fears so much. Brother Feegan! Thou
wilt see to it that this wax cylinder machine gets safely to
the bank on the morrow. You will find the safety deposit box
key* . * in the acolytes' quarters.* in the guards' quarters.* in the office on the second floor of the church.* in the factory area.* in the east tower.* in the west tower.* at the pulpit in the church.* in a closet near the pulpit.* in the shed atop the acolytes' quarters.

(at the start of this mission the game will chose one of that options)

Karras: Friends, we are adjourned. Return now to your duties.
