You have to send me back, please- I can fix this, maybe they're not all dead, maybe I haven't destroyed everyone yet, but if I'm here then I can't do anything!

Please.

[She flutters her wings uncertainly. It looks like she's been crying.]

[oforder]

As do I. However, I have since come to the realization that in order to ensure this, they cannot be allowed to lead their own future.

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

But then who else would?

[ audio ]

[oforder]

The Collective Unconscious.

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

What's that?

[ audio ]

[oforder]

That which has tasked me with guiding humanity.

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

It sounds important.

[ audio ]

[oforder]

It is.

[ He tilts his head, looking down at the small device. ]

You said you are an angel, correct?

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

Yes, I am.

[ audio ]

[oforder]

What is God to you?

[ And no - he's not asking for the reason she likely thinks he's asking. ]

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

What's a god?

[Well, that's one answer.]

[ audio ]

[oforder]

[ He'll just rephrase the question. ]

Who leads the angels?

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

Nobody leads them in particular.

[ audio ]

[oforder]

[ Well, that's new. ]

That is interesting. Why is that?

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

Do most species have one leader? I thought they didn't.

[ audio ]

[oforder]

Not necessarily.

[ Though everything he knew about angels said there was only one. He's rather surprised to learn otherwise. ]

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

There you go, so there's no leader of angels. Is that what a god is?

[ audio ]

[oforder]

In Abrahamic mythology, yes.

[ Hence why he asked. Well... that and he was curious what U-DO was like in other universes. ]

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

We don't have much like that in the Land of Steel.

[ audio ]

[oforder]

[ srsly wtf ]

What is the 'Land of Steel?'

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

It used to be Earth, but the planet died. Now it's the Land of Steel.

[ audio ]

[oforder]

The earth changed?

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

All planets die eventually. The creatures on them just aren't supposed to outlive that.

[ audio ]

[oforder]

I am aware of this. That was why, when the earth died in my universe, I ensured they were ready to leave it behind.

But you did not answer my question. Is the 'Land of Steel' another planet? Or is it something else?

[ audio ]

[heavenscorpse]

It is the same planet, if you call a dead thing a planet. It grows no plants and no animals live on it. Only humans. It has no will of its own, not like a living planet.

[ audio ]

[oforder]

I see.

[ He tilts his head. ]

How are humans able to survive on such a place?

[ Bio-Domes, maybe? He's curious, and knowing about the worlds where others are from would be very helpful to him. ]
