The Holotape crackles. A low voice comes through, rough, scarred by radiation.
“This is Grand Master Alfonse of the Knights of Saint Lazarus. People look at us ghouls and see corpses, monsters. They’re wrong. Like Lazarus of old, we’ve risen from death, from fire, ash, and war. Our flesh rots, but our souls endure. What others call a curse, we know as penance. Every wound we carry is a mark of our faith. And through these wounds, we find grace.”
You hear him clear his throat, a cough he cannot quite shake, before he continues.
“We are a brotherhood, bound by vow. We protect the poor, the forgotten. We guard the Church. And we fight against raiders, slavers, false prophets, anyone who feeds on the weak. We are proof that suffering can be turned into salvation.”
You hear the clatter of metal plates pierce the silence.
“Joining us is not easy. You give up wealth. You give up comfort. You live by obedience and faith. You will not fight as a beast of the Mojave, but as a Knight of Saint Lazarus, armed with charity, bound by honor, sanctified through suffering.”
The voice states, firm and direct.
“The Bell tolls. Will answer the call?”
The tape ends with the slow toll of the bell, fading into silence.
