Moon in the Welkin

Moon In The Welkin is a mission in God Eater Burst. This Mission serves as the first mission of Rank 3, and story-telling-wise it is one of the most important missions in the game.

Before Mission
The mission launches like any normal mission, and also is the first mission where the Protagonist must defeat a Vajra. In the process, he is accompanied by Soma, Sakuya and Kota. However, unbeknown to them is the fact that another group had also been deployed in the area, made up by Lindow and Alisa. They had the orders to "wrap things up" in the Old Church, in Lindow's own words.

Aftermath
Seemingly after defeating the Vajra, both groups find each other at the Old Church and, after a few moments of confussion and bewilderment, Lindow and Alisa go inside the church, the rest of the group staying outside and guarding. Almost as they entered it, an ice, female Vajra enters as well. While Lindow was fighting it, Alisa's old trauma, combined with the mind control she was subject to as part of the plot the Director Schiksal had created to kill Lindow, caused her to try to kill him, but fail in the end. She was to shoot him, but she remembered the words he told her ("When things get chaotic, look up at the sky...") and her mind collapsed almost completely while she trapped Lindow in the Old Church. This caused the Protagonist and Sakuya to come inside, wondering what's going on. Meanwhile, in the outside, the rest of the group was surrounded by a pack of the icy Aragami, and began to fight against it. Sakuya tries to convince Lindow on the commlink to let her fight with him, but his orders are for everyone to return to the Den (the Protagonist has to carry Alisa).

Not long after Lindow defeats the Prithvi Mata, he is seen smoking while a black Aragami enters to the isolated part of the church he was in. Lindow seemingly shows no interest, and claims "Can't you let me rest for a second? I can't go on like this." Despite his words, he throws the cigarette and heads to fight with the beast.

Trivia

 * In rank 10 and challenge rank, there are several missions that (partially) share the name with this particular one. In most of the cases, the opponent(s) is a Vajra variant of some kind, with the exception of the mission "True Moon In The Welkin", in which the player must defeat a Corrosive Hannibal.
