- plot takes place in 1920
- The story begins with Charon rambling about war to Marsha (in fact there's a lot of this through the Whole chapter)
- Finally we switch to Vertin
- The foundation is having a bit of internal strife apparently, and has split into two factions
- the "Doves" are a peace seeking faction while the "Hawks" are a faction that has decided the Manus influence has gone too far and the only solution is to burn everything down
- Vertin meets Kreius, Kreius now has a proper portrait
- Kreius is part of a team called "The Twelves/XII"
- Kreius talks to a mysterious soldier on the Radio
- The foundation tries to achieve peace by talking with a colonel, however the colonel is assassinated by a sniper
- Marsha is contacted by whoever Kreius was talking too, he warns Masha that the colonel has been assasinated and that the sniper who did it is probably close to her
- Marsha keeps going through the warzone, she's attacked by some soldier but a sniper save her
- obviously the sniper turns out to be Sentinel, Sentinel also turns out to be the person who shoot the colonel
- with the colonel dead, peace talk die with him, so Constantine decide to send Kreius (who's also affiliated to the "Hawks") to deal with it
- back to the war zone, some german general that looks like Rufus from FF7 is pissed about the dead colonel, the german soldiers are attacked, just a battle where your character are bombed by missiles
- back to Charon, Marsha meets him again
- Marsha tells Charon about Kreius
- Suddenly Sentinel appears
- Some nonsense about Sentinel paying her respect to the deads
- Marsha is pissed at Sentinel for killing the colonel because by doing this she fucked up the peace talk, however Sentinel tells Marsha that the peace talk wouldn't have achieved nothing because the reason she did it is because the colonel was working for Manus all along
- also apparently the reason Sentinel was branded a traitor is because she named Manus as the true culprit
- More Charon Non Sense
- Kreius is now on the scene, Marsha is also with him, they talk about Sentinel
- an NPC that kinda looks like Teddy Roosevelt show up, his name is George
- George is also worried about Manus infiltrating so he ask Kreius to deal with it
- some more Charon non sense and we are back to the german soldiers that got bombed last time, Charon is talking to them
- a bunch of french soldiers show up, so the german tries to figure out if they are surrendering or not
- but they get sniped under the order of the Rufus lookalike before they can figure out if they were trying to surrender or not
- Charon is apparently under the orders of the Rufus lookalike
- Charon and Rufus gets into an argument, Charon accuses Rufus to be a Manus plant
- Rufus shoot Charon, and… i'm not really sure what happens next, but i think Charon uses his arcanist power to mindbreak Rufus
- Ah! New Schizo voice! it's a Young female voice this time, still talking about the war
- More "WAR IS HELL" nonsense
- i think this might be actually what happened to Charon before he became Charon
- Charon kidnaps Rufus to bring him to the foundation
- Rufus suddenly grew a conscience and regrets ordering the shooting of the french soldiers
- Rufus and Charon talk about the horror of wars
- Kreius give the foundation a report by Rufus, i didn't really listen to it but the Tl;DR is that Manus Vindictae is involved
- an NPC (Pedro? the black guy who was in chapter 4) ask how Manus could get into the government so fast so they come to the conclusion that arcana now has the power to rewrite history
- Constantine thinks they should become more aggressive because of that but Pedro disagree
- Constatine says that their true goal is to restore the normal course of history which means trying to end the war with normal peace talks
- back to Sentinel, she's talking with a new NPC, which i think is named Latis?
- they talk about Justice
- also i think i heard Sentinel call him Cousin
- Sentinel keeps talking… i think to her dead sister?
- back to Kreius
- Kreius gives a bunch of war order

- oh? interesting
- the soldier starts praying to Arcana, Sentinel finishes him off
- FMV with more soldiers dying
- Sentinel fights an enemy called "Knight of the Order", the knight has red hair which kinda implies she might be Marsha or related to Marsha?
- Sentinel stabs this knight in the throat, more "WAR IS HELL" non sense

- Marsha is all healed up, Marsha and Sentinel are moving together toward a safe zone
- Marsha show her hands to Sentinel, huh hoh, turns out the knight she stabbed in battle was actually Marsha all along
