Timeline Summary

On 20 April 2326, Enos finds a flyer for the Arenan Alliance's annual Gun Week, and is intrigued by the mention of Colonel Ranzel De la Sar's missing rifle. He heads to the colonel's house for a tour, and steals the rifle's replica. He finds a credit to a company called Henrick's Reproductions on the back. He is caught by security, and flees into the woods. A deer refuses to help him. Just before the guards can catch him, however, the deer distracts them, and Enos gets away. Hours later, he finds Henrick's, and learns that the colonel had commissioned a replica of the rifle three years before his death. That evening, he heads for the colonel's grave, and digs it up. Inside, he finds a letter addressed to Major Jago Vasquez, telling him that he's hidden the actual rifle from him.

The next day, Enos looks up Jago Vasquez and learns his relation to De la Sar. He decides to speak to Vasquez's ghost. He tries to scare off the police, who are at the graveyard seeking him out, by pretending to be the colonel's ghost. It works. He catches Vasquez on an audio recorder, who says he's been watching Enos, and is willing to tell him where to find the rifle if he gets rid of a ghost named Murphy who has been annoying him for a while.

Three days after contacting Vasquez, Enos visits an Arenan bishop to apply for priesthood, so that he can exorcise Murphy's spirit. The bishop tells him that it would be a long and difficult task, and that if he wanted to become a priest in a hurry, he can do so unofficially. Enos decides to start his own religion.

Enos arrives at Petrarca's downtown central square the next day, preaching the good word of Enosticism. He wins over four people with promises of drugs and martial arts lessons, including Ranzel's descendant, Alvaro De la Sar.

On May 5th, Enos' followers finally finish setting up the Enostic church in Petrarca. With his religion now official, he heads back to the graveyard and confronts Murphy's spirit. He quickly pisses Murphy off, and ends up "fighting" the ghost. He uses a burst of white noise from the recorder to hurt Murphy (and Jago by mistake), and gets him to leave the graveyard with the help of Alvaro. Jago thanks Enos and tells him that the rifle is hidden in the grave of the colonel's dog, back at his home. Ranzel says he already knew Enos was looking for the rifle before ever joining the church, as his sister, who runs their ancestor's museum, told him of Enos' break-in. Ranzel says the rifle's Enos' to keep, and that he deserves it more than the government does. Shortly after, Enos returns to De la Sar's home and digs up the rifle, along with the colonel's final letter to Jago. The letter strikes Enos with an odd pathos that he doesn't quite understand, and he respectfully re-buries the dog. Touched by the event, he decides to stick with his congregation.
