Synopsis[]

Mary-Maria joins the Sisters of Perpetual Darkness, as a different group of sisters battle Archer and Armstrong. The pair protect Tommy.

The trio end up in the Vatican Z-Collection. While Archer and Tommy look through the books, Armstrong looks at the wine in the collection. Sister Thomas discovers the location of The Torque and then she finds Armstrong, alongside Archer. Archer and Tommy discuss why Tommy tolerates Armstrong.

Archer abandons Armstrong and heads towards the Torque. He confronts Mary-Maria, who he catches stealing the piece of The Boon. Mary-Maria tells Archer that The Dominion are securing all of the pieces of The Boon, as well a control of The Sect.

As Armstrong walks into the room, Archer stops Mary-Maria from killing him. Mary-Maria turns on Archer. While she holds Armstrong Hostage, Mary-Maria shoots Archer. However, her crossbow bolt goes through Archer and strikes Tommy, killing her. Mary-Maria escapes with Armstrong's Satchel.

Congresswoman and Reverand Archer arrive at La-Chen Monastery and meet the Green Dragon Lamas. They discover that the Lamas have reassembled The Boon.

Quotes[]

These ninja nuns may be wackos, but they know how to live...

-- Armstrong

If you could see yourselves the way I do... you wouldn't waste all your time on this "faith" nonsense! You'd see how beautiful the world is on its own without being polluted by your beliefs...

-- Armstrong

My faith is not so weak it can be threatened by a differing opinion.

-- Sister Thomas Aquinas

Lady, I gotta tell you this makes you very slightly less hot!!!!

-- Armstrong

But -- it's one life against millions! One drunken, smelly life!

-- Archer

Perhaps. We will never know. For we are not in conflict. When it comes to reassembling the Boon, we are, as they say...way ahead of you.

-- Green Dragon Lamas
