Part of the priest’s team was working on the back up operation. The bridges downstream of the damn were sure to go when the wall of water hit them. They wanted to make sure. So they had set the bridges to blow as soon as the water got there. They also wanted the debris to pile up so that the town of Galloway would be under water. They not only wanted to make rescue as hard as possible; they wanted the devastation to be awesomely frightening. To make it look like the hand of god had reached down swatted the town of Galloway.
Both teams were sure in their beliefs. That their God blessed their actions, that the death of these pagans and blasphemers would ensure their place in paradise. They had no intention of dying for their god. They had too much work to do in His name to die before it was their time. They had other targets around the Free World before it was their time.
