 * The Fallen Captain and Ulappo bring Thuuka to the mountainous regions of the island. They lead him to a cave opening with a makeshift door. The captain knocks on the door and a small camera-like object protrudes out of it.

Fallen Captain: "Kocho mekali hessu tahi."

Ulappo: "Kocho essali de ulap tahi."


 * The camera-like object re-enters the door. A few moments later, the door opens and three black-armored Dregs dual-wielding shock pistols lead the group into the caverns. The door closes behind them.

Dreg Watcher: "Welcome, Captain Sikkis and Benefactor Ulappo."

Fallen Captain: "Thank you comrade. This is another fellow survivor that we found wandering the jungle alone. We are giving him a tour of this village."

Dreg Watcher: "Greetings, fellow comrade. What is your name?"

Thuuka: "I am Thuuka of the House of Order."

Dreg Watcher: "Ah... So you are-"

Fallen Captain: "I suggest that you don't discuss these matters at the moment. If Thuuka chooses to be initiated into our House, then you two may speak of that position."

Dreg Watcher: "I see... Well, we better get back to the gate. I hope that I will be able to see you on the battlefield someday, Thuuka of the House of Order."


 * The Dreg Watchers leave the group and go back to the gate.

Thuuka: "So, now that we are here, could you describe the leadership of this House?"

Ulappo: "We won't describe it. We will show you our leaders. They are very interested in meeting the survivors that we bring into our new home."


 * The trio enter the main cavern. Many tipis and metal shacks have been created for the Fallen survivors that have chosen to be apart of the House of the Damned. Small storage warehouses have been created in the areas of the cavern that were mined out by previous mining companies. The council chamber has been positioned in the left corner of the cavern, and has a security checkpoint there. The cavern's stone is grayish green, with occasional red stains.

Thuuka: "I-I'm astonished. How did you build this settlement in so little time?"

Fallen Captain: "When you have a willing and determined group of survivors in a life or death scenario, a lot things can get done. We found most of our materials from an ancient light-seeker mine and some of materials came from the Ketch."

Ulappo: "We have a steady ether supply from the upgraded Servitors we were able to recover from the wreckage and the Servitors that were able to escape."


 * The trio approach the security checkpoint.

Viksi, the Peaceful: "Please place all of your weapons in this container. You will have them returned to you after you leave the council chamber."


 * Thuuka looks at Ulappo and then looks at the Captain, who both nod at him. Hesitantly, Thuuka puts his shrapnel launcher and shock knives in the container. Ulappo and the Captain do this as well. Once they are cleared for entry, Viksi leads the trio inside. Two archon-sized Fallen sit in two of the five council seats.

Laagra, the Shield: "Welcome, young one. I hope that our House is suitable for you..."


 * The Archon-sized Fallen picks up his staff and stands up. The left side of his armor is scorched, and one of his main arms are missing. Thuuka feels the need to bow before the two, understanding their importance to the House.

Thuuka: "It... is an honor to be here..."

Laagra, the Shield: "I am glad that you see it that way. You are very respectful to your elders..."

Thuuka: "May I ask you some questions about the Damned?"

Laagra, the Shield: "Ask all you would like and we will try to answer them to the best of our ability."

Thuuka: "My first question is, do you have a Kell."

Laagra, the Shield: "The House of the Damned revolves around a council of Archons. This council is a consolidated group that keeps a balance in power. To us, a Kell will only create inequality and will only represent his or herself. To you, a Kell is the most holy and honorary member of Fallen society, that has absolute power. We do not believe in absolution. We believe in representation of the community. Well, at least most of us believe in this ideology... conservative Fallen will view this as a counter-cultural movement and a extremely liberal move. But the people of old did not run on a dictator, they ran on an elected leader..."


 * Thuuka breathes. He takes in this information and thinks about the Fallen's history after the Great Whirlwind, an event that happened centuries before his birth.

Thuuka: "I assume you two are Archons. Who are the others?"

Laagra, the Shield: "Currently we only have one other Archon that is alive. He is-"


 * The door on the council chamber's entrance opens. Another Archon sized figure enters the room. He looks at Thuuka as he sits down to the right of Laagra's chair.

Laagra, the Shield: "Calimitan... the Damned..."


 * The Fallen Captain and Ulappo bow.

Calimitan, the Damned: "Children of the Damned, what do you inquire?

Laagra, the Shield: "This is a new survivor that is taking a tour of our House."


 * Calimitan stands back up and approaches Thuuka. He stops when he is one foot in front of Thuuka.

Calimitan, the Damned: "You would be foolish to deny such an extraordinary offer..."


 * Calimitan backs away from Thuuka and sits back down.
