== Synopsis ==

''You are hired to rob a Builder Church. This church has recently been attracting a lot of attention, and someone is willing to pay you a fair sum to do something about it.''

''(This map was the second "alpha release" of The Dark Mod, and has been updated for TDM 1.01. In ToSL, you are hired to rob a Builder Church. This church has recently been attracting a lot of attention, and someone is willing to pay you a fair sum to do something about it.)''

== Series ==

The FM is the second installment of TDM's short official mini-campaign, following the first mission, ''[[A New Job (OM)|A New Job]]''. 

Playing the [[Training Mission (OM)|Training Mission]] before ''A New Job'' and ''The Tears of Saint Lucia''  is highly recommended, but not necessary.
