- A cease-fire order is issued by the World Court of Nations (the future U.N.), and Zerchi wonders if he can believe anything he hears on the radio.
- Zerchi shows Joshua a letter. The message basically means that Zerchi needs an answer from the brother now.
- Although Joshua is willing, he isn't sure about accepting the priesthood.
- Zerchi asks him to consider what he's made of, and gives him some extra time.
- In the church, Zerchi gives the mission monks a pep talk about bringing the Memorabilia into space. That way, when humanity needs it again, it'll be there for them.
- Also, when the going gets tough, the tough… blah blah blah.
- Outside, Brother Joshua prays for a sign, and sees a snake instead.
- Okay, maybe the snake was a sign. And maybe it wasn't. But he returns to Zerchi and accepts the offer.
- With that, the monks charter a flight to New Rome, and Quo peregrinatur is underway.
- Zerchi realizes that those who stayed behind truly have it easier. They simply have to wait (to die, probably) and pray.
