Subject: Hyperion Cult
We returned to the Caelus Divide in Infernus to stop Eve's plan. Dover was able to pull off his… well, we'll probably need to think of a name for his new power, huh? Plane Shifting? That might work. Dover was able to Plane Shift the Caelus into another Cycle. Eve won't be happy with us. Also… I don't know if we did the right thing. Eve is cold, sadistic, and twisted, but she isn't wrong necessarily. Eden is broken, and without its sky, it'll never heal. But to condemn the entire Otherside to just to bring it back? Mm… it doesn't feel like something we should have to decide, to be honest. But the Court of Angels would be in gridlock over this for eons more, and God seems to have made His choice on Eden long ago.
Eve: Here to stop me?
Twain: What happens if we don't?
Eve: I return the sky to Eden. Warmth returns. Life returns. Things can finally heal. The dandelions can bloom again.
Twain: But what happens to the Otherside?
Eve: I would suspect the opposite. The dark and still death that strangles my home finds its way here—where it belongs. All that this "Otherside" was meant to be, after all, was death. This light is so unbecoming of it.
Mercutio: Even the dead deserve light, no?
Eve: They will still have their precious fire. What more could demons want?
Dingane: These demons, they're not the same as the demons you knew. They have feelings, lives, loves, passions, goals, dreams—
Eve: An aberration caused by the light they were never meant to touch. I seek to correct that, nothing more.
Pathologist: But how would you know what's right and what's wrong?
Eve: How would I know? I was there. Chaos. Death. Paradise. Three perfect domains in perfect harmony.
Blackwood: So, what happened?
Eve: I was betrayed. Everything was taken from me! Now, it is only right that I take everything back!
[The Last Sebitti oozed out from Eve's inky abyssal chest.]
Eve: Everything He promised to me will be mine!
Kikimora: God? The second you tear the Caelus apart, He'll rewind the Universe. You'll accomplish nothing—
Eve: I look forward to being destroyed. Ever since our eyes intertwined, I saw myself being ripped apart by Him, piece by piece. My blood painting His wretched Universe. Every stroke is another masterpiece of His madness. If He wanted me dead, he had His chance. But He wants me alive. He wants our paradise back as much as I do. He—
Dover: What did you promise, Warden?
Eve: Excuse me?
Dover: Warden! Why were they working with you?!
Eve: Warden? Oh—do you mean Victoria?
Dover: DON'T YOU DARE—
Eve: My, what could poor little Victoria want? Immortality? Mm… surely not. Who would be so careless as to put that curse on another? Perhaps… she seeks death? She wouldn't be the first to come to me with such a request. And I do always oblige—
Dover: FUCK YOU!
[CaDCom Expletive Filter Temporary Override Initiated. She went too far. Dover then called out his dimensional shards and tore the Caelus clean from this Cycle and shifted it to another while shifting Eve back into Eden before passing out.]
