He takes a step towards the wall and places a hand on it.

"I am one of God's soldiers for his true Church. It is my charge to save souls. And with the blessing of God I am very good at it."

He takes his hand off the wall and clasps his hands together in front of him, his fingers entwined.

I gather from your mention of Mandy's re-education that this soul-saving can be a lengthy process, and that its success is not a certainty. I have to admit that I find it odd you would be so confident in your abilities, yet still feel the need to send someone to check on her. Could it be that you have some doubts?

"I always have time for someone searching for answers. It was at a very early age that I was given my charge. My Mother was one of the Godspoken, hearing his voice guide her ways, and my Father was the Senator responsible for establishing the Church as the official church of the Government. So you see, I have the lineage to do great things in the name of God. I too have heard His voice. He is telling me to follow in their footsteps and carry their legacy further."

Taking a step back, he places a hand on the wall, his face going from nostalgic longing to serious.

"During these times the Church is being threatened by Godless souls. These are people who see technology as their God, and put too much faith in themselves and their machines. Mandy got caught up with one of those men, a man by the name of Andrew Keech. Surely you have heard of him, he was one of the men responsible for the A-I Scare. It took us nearly a year to break her of her longing for this monster and his ideals."

His talking had sped up as he talked about her, and so he caught himself and stopped to take a deep breath and calm himself.
