[u.1:01] Thought I might find you here.

[u.2:01] The cycle begins again. The template is in place, cousin, and we have yet to break it.

[u.1:02] We've gotta be making progress though. All this fighting, charging the Well, all these sacrifices can't be for nothing. There's no other strategy?

[u.2:02] Not that I know of. The best we can do is keep fighting and hope we'll break the curse.

[u.1:03] I've recovered the relics, fought the Taken, and ended the Monastery's ritual so many times now. I can't even keep track of how many times I've killed Dul Incaru. But every time, it starts all over again and the Queen has nothing new. No information, nothing that could tell us how to end it.

[u.2:03] We mustn't lose faith. I believe Mara will find a solution.

[u.1:04] What if it comes too late? We've been playing into the Hive Gods' hands from the very start. As soon as we killed Riven…

[u.2:04] Do not mistake that killing her was an error. It's no secret what she's done, what she was responsible for. There was no other path.

[u.1:05] If there was, do you think we still would've ended up here? Stuck in this loop?

[u.2:05] I can't pretend to know what could have been. And neither can you. Our concern lies in the fight. It will come to an end and I believe we can prevail.

[u.1:06] Ok. Are you sure you want me to keep making the reports to the Queen?

[u.2:06] Trust me, cousin. It's for the best.

[u.1:07] If you say so. [beat] Guess I'd better get back to the fight.

[u.2:07] We both must. We've held the City this long. We can keep holding it.

[u.1:08] Oh, believe me, I won't give up anytime soon. I've had enough of the Hive and their tricks.

[u.2:08] We all have. Yet I fear the greatest trick has yet to come.

[u.1:09] Yeah, me too.[beat] I'll see you later, then.

[u.2:09] Until next time, cousin.
