Ω → seven [audio; open to action]

Promethius defied the Gods by granting a boon to humanity, and was condemned to death for his compassion.

[ A pause. He's been scarce lately. But with how deadpan his voice is, one thing that always gives him away is the soft music playing in the background. Opera. Specifically, Richard Wagner. And today's choice is oddly appropriate. ]

It appears to be a running theme all throughout history: No good deed going unpunished. No hero that, in time, is denied martyrdom. I often wonder why this one lesson is routinely ignored. But, now, perhaps, I see why. Human nature requires inspiration before it begins to to act upon its desires.

Perhaps now this performance will enter its final act.

And how are you able to judge them on this?

Because I know what the consequences of their actions will be.

[..Hatred was something not built into Raphael, but if it was, he wouldn't really like Wilhelm at this point. The man seemed like an Angel at time..but a deeply flawed one. Someone pretending to have the wings but not actually sporting them.]

How can you be so sure that you are not wrong or making mistakes?

I have already answered this. I can see the future.

You said you could predict it. Seeing and predicting are two different things.

You might say my predictions are accurate.

Constantly? The human mind is always in flux, from what I understand. What you see one moment might be different the next.

You are confusing the mind of the individual with the mind of the collective.

Even collective minds can change quickly, or even be contradictory.

[After all, if that wasn't the case, there would have been no Freemen in his universe to help Enoch out sometimes. Or Ishtar, for that matter.]

I am afraid that it is not that simple.

Things usually are not simple.

[He's not quite seeing whatever point you're trying to make there, Wilhelm.]

Suffice it to say that I know what I am doing. My universe still exists thanks to my efforts.

I never said that you did not or that your efforts were unhelpful. I am merely trying to figure things out. It is one of my roles.

What is your role, exactly?

Back in my own world, it was gathering of knowledge and healing those God told me to. Here, however..I try to learn what I can and heal those I can. I am the Archangel Raphael.

Hmm. It would seem the God of your world is not the God of mine.

Perhaps. What is the God in your universe like?

U-DO.

[..Raphael was expecting a list of characteristics, not an odd, different name for God.]

U-DO?

U-DO is not a creator deity. It is one, large, singular entity, whereas the collective subconscious is made up of trillions of individuals. It's involvement with humanity is more of a scientific curiosity, rather than as anything depicted in religion.

If it is not the creator, why call it God? And why is it's involvement with humanity more of curiosity than anything else?

To put it bluntly, humans did not know better when it was first encountered.

U-DO is, for lack of a better term, lonely. It is the only entity in the Upper Domain.

That is normal..most humans do not know much about God.

[..Loneliness..while Raphael had never felt it, he had seen the effects being alone could have, so he understood how bad this was.]

I see..that is terrible for it. Can no other entity go up to it?

Humans have tried. Their actions were not permitted, and their attempt was seen as an invasion. The Lower Domain of the universe was nearly destroyed as a result.

[..But, that would mean that people like Enoch would never even happen in this mans universe..]

..Why did God try to do that? If he was lonely, wouldn't other people help?
