== 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.

== Trivia ==

The current iteration of this mission is based on reworking one of the [[:Category:Initial demos|initial demos]] for ''The Dark Mod'' (from its earliest days of playability) - the eponymous ''[[Saint Lucia|The Tears of Saint Lucia]]''.

The mission [https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/18553-beta-testing-the-revised-st-lucia/ was reworked one last time] in early 2017 [https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/18647-tdm-205-official-introductory-missions/ to become part of] the official TDM introductory campaign (hence it is now "Mission 2", plus the mission's subtitle).
