Henschel, having helped Alex escape the fortress has opened it up to the attacking Demon army, sealing its destruction. The British expedition team fight their way back to the Entry-Point and escape to safety, but the Exile forces hold the Heavenfield-side of the Doorway now.

Henschel reveals that it has been he, not Alex, under the influence of the Demon Girl, and in a moment of lucidity has destroyed the Exile Array and opened up the Fortress to the attacking Demon army. Alex makes for Hangar 13, where Henschel has a Fieldship waiting to aid his escape. Meanwhile, at the Maunsworth Entry-Point, the expedition is still under attack from the Exile soldiers. Grace and Thomas, separated from the group attempt to hide in the ruins, but Thomas is shot by an Exile soldier and his suit is breached.

Meanwhile, Grace has realised (with the intervention of Commander James), that there may be more to Thomas Sullivan than meets the eye, being commended for his theories on Standing Point by some of the greatest scientific minds in the field. Thomas, by contrast, is struggling to come to terms with life on a busy military base, and craves to learn more of the history of the Project.

To this end he sends Gutteridge to hand over a package to a contact working for them within the Facility, the contents of which, Speers believes, will shut down Maunsworth, and put an end to the Heavenfield Project...

Episode 9 - Grace

Maybe I should give another listen because whenever I see this I have a sensation that this was a twisted storyline. Not twisted in a perverse or deviant way; twisted in a way that someone, not necessarily the author, took elements of the plot and tied them around each other, backwards, sideways and however they could get things to morph. 

I probably won&#39;t listen again because I have so much in my fiction queue I take screenshots and store those. I don&#39;t store everything in Overcast because scrolling through the entire list is too cumbersome. (wow! Such a terrible definition of hard work!)

An odd sensation

Great stuff! Reminds me Half-Life and Xenosaga a bit.

Awesome
