COMMANDER TRASK: The other day I was asked: 'Why hunt the mongrel? Doesn't its very inferiority guarantee that it poses no threat? Won't it die of its own innate mortal stupidity? Let me tell you, even the smallest of vermin need be addressed. Half-breeds. Worse. They keep crossbreeding. Forever diluting our precious demon blood with their weak simpering humanity.

SOLDIERS: Yeah!

COMMANDER TRASK: If we allow this to happen, it's as good as giving up the call to evil altogether! It's as good as turning human ourselves. Well, I say *never*! I say we will not stop until each and every half-breed is erased and our purity rules this planet! We will not stop because the Higher Order demands it! Now, this very evening, we take a giant step towards our goal. Tonight the half-breeds that have eluded us will be destroyed. And we know how to find them, thanks to this good man (gestures to a human being led forward) first mate on a ship they think means salvation, not annihilation. He comes to us for money, but he is a brother to our cause, and we invite him to witness the power of the Beacon.

(Two soldiers open a door behind the Commander and roll out what looks like a giant, crystal-shaped light suspended in a metal frame. The flick some switches on top of it and it begins to cycle up.)

COMMANDER TRASK: Tonight the Lister half-breeds ...

SOLDIER: (to Angel) Incredible, isn't it? He makes it all so clear.

ANGEL: Yes, things are very clear.

COMMANDER TRASK: The Listers, along with any creatures contaminated by human blood, will perish the moment this cleansing light touches them. When the beacon achieves full power and detonates its deadly reach will extend a quarter mile in every direction. (To the First Mate) Want to see how it works? (The light reaches him and he goes up in a scream) A fitting end for a sorry mutation. Go now and deliver this our message! Our victory depends on it!
