Mission Target (1)
Jeremiah: So it's come to this.
Devin: You've become weak, Father!
Jeremiah: Your plan will never succeed.
Devin: On the contrary, it already has.
Jeremiah: I knew Malachi wouldn't understand, but I thought I could rely on my own son.
Devin: It's you who failed, father, not me.

Mission Target (2)
Kayla: Commander, are you seeing this...
The True Believers are still fighting.
Matt: Is that not expected? They still believe in their cause.
Kayla: The confusing part is they are fighting... each other.
Matt: Perhaps a power vacuum is causing a faction split?
Kayla: Who else is vying for control?
Malachi: I believe I know who is leading this reformation.
Only someone with the blood of Jeremiah can gain their trust.
Matt: Jeremiah is dead, did he have a brother?
Kayla: Father Malachi, what do you know?
Malachi: Brother Devin has left. We believe he has been planning this coup for a long while.

Mission Target (3)
Martin: Commander! I have a transmission we are intercepting. Listen in...
Brother Devin: ...finding out this way, but the balance of power has shifted.
Sarkis: We don't mind a change of management, we are more than willing to maintain...
...our previous arrangement with your father.
Brother Devin: I'm afraid that will not be possible. The Shadow Alliance does not align with...
...the future of the True Believers. The Machine God does not care for profit.
Sarkis: Very well, you must at least maintain your part of the contract.
Give us Mutoto's technology. After that you can be on your way.
Brother Devin: We will destroy the tech. Mysticism has no place in the Machine God's plan.

Mission Target (4)
Kayla: Malachi was right. Devin was using us the whole time.
Matt: Right under our noses. Almost impressive if it wasn't so evil.
Nick: Kayla. I have been sent by Malachi. Apparently this situation is worsening.
Kayla: General Nick, good to have your guidance on this.
Nick: I haven't seen this happen since Malachi and Jeremiah first split.
Matt: Split from what?
Nick: Perhaps Corpus doesn't tell this story, but the True Believers used to be Sentinels.
Brother Jeremiah was unhappy with Malachi's supposed lack of faith.
He was bent on forcing the Machine God's will at all costs...
...and Malachi cast him out.
Matt: Why didn't Jeremiah take Devin with him?
Nick: That... is a Malachi question.

Mission Target (5)
Kayla: Salvator, what do you make of the defenses here?
Salvator: Elevated snow base, logical for armies with armored infantry and vehicles.
Cold temperatures provide relief for overclocked gear.
Snow makes it difficult to infiltrate.
Defenders look settled but lopsided. Perhaps an eastern flank can help.
Kayla: Thanks Salvator. We can probably leave this one to RUBI.
Salvator: RUBI... is here? May I speak with her?
RUBI 2.0: Hello Salvator. It is pleasant to meet another AI who doesn't want to kill me.
Salvator: RUBI noticed me. We may progress with the battle.

Mission Target (6)
Brother Devin: I am... sorry it has come to this.
Malachi: Brother Devin, it does not need to come to this. We can still welcome you back.
Brother Devin: You are too blind to see the truth Malachi! You have always been blind!
Malachi: I've made mistakes. I admit that. But you can end your father's cycle of violence!
Brother Devin: The Machine God has not arisen for you because you lack faith!
My father believed Onyx was the Machine God. He was wrong and needed to die.
Only I can shepherd in the new era of humanity.
Only I can entice the Machine God to return, and when he does, you will perish!
Malachi: Please Devin, leave while you have the chance. Nick, lead the assault!

If you see any difference from the in-game version is cause I tried to correct it and/or make it sound better as best I could.
