Saving multiple worlds -- no, multiple universes, do you think that is enough to erase the sins that a person has committed?

Or is this merely what is right for those that are sinners?

Perhaps, redemption is beyond us and we can only do a little bit of good before judgement.

I'm sure it was an accident, but no, I'm pretty sure it was meant to be a bioweapon.

And, in a way. The virus got loose inside the facility, and I think most of the scientists that worked on it were infected. They're dead, and the building went up when I triggered a self-destruct mechanism inside.

The actual person most responsible for the virus had turned into some sort of mutant freakshow that was maybe ten feet tall and made of like...claws and spikes. I killed him myself, as insane as that might sound.

But, Umbrella, the company responsible, has offices all over the world.

[honorkept]

None of that sounds insane. It all sounds quite possible and quite similar in part to my own sins.

But I ask you to ignore that part in order to ask -- are you going to continue to fight those other offices? Are you all right with saving other universes if it means also saving those people?

[cameprepared]

I will ask you later.

I am going to make sure that the authorities, with the ability to bring them to justice, are made aware. In my world, me going after those offices would be vigilante justice, and illegal. If they aren't brought to justice, then I'll reconsider my options. But I'd rather attempt to do things the right way. I'm not a superhero.

And yes. Because there are more good than bad people.

[honorkept]

Understood.

I see. I was worried for a moment that the actions of Umbrella may have blinded you a little. Such concern from me may come as unwanted and unjust given what I have already said, but still, you sound like a just person and I did not want you to stumble on your path for justice.

It's good that you've remained untainted by the actions of the evil.

[cameprepared]

Thank you.
I just can't justify condemning the many to deal with the few who should be brought to justice. And I know better than to take on a multi-trillion dollar corporation by myself.

So. What did you do, that's like Umbrella?

[honorkept]

Good.

[ There is more that he wants to say, but he feels like it would sound contrite in text. Would audio be better? Perhaps. But some things are best said in-person, so he can only hope to meet her in this strange land to say them. ]

We wished to become as angels, and so engaged in human experimentations. Men that pledged themselves to me were altered. But their minds did not remain their own, and I unfortunately was usually the one forced to kill them to save them from themselves and others from them.

However, this method was not foolproof, and some escaped immediate culling. Those that were harmed by these monstrosities were dealt with so no one would know of our actions.

[cameprepared]

You mean that you experimented on each other. To what, give them wings?

[honorkept]

Yes, that's right.

No, we wanted to become angels. And I became one.

[cameprepared]

Wings, powers of light and all that?

Sorry, I don't actually know a ton about angels.

[honorkept]

It's all right.

But yes, you have the general idea.

[cameprepared]

Sounds pretty wild.

Also, sounds like what I think Umbrella was up to. Making super soldiers, instead of angels, but same idea. "Bettering" humanity.

[honorkept]

Our hope was not to better humanity, but to be an army for humanity.

To create a means to protect it from demons. To create a perfect world where everyone is safe.

At least, that is what I was lead to believe, but now I believe the person only wanted to rule over everyone.

[cameprepared]

Are demons a threat where you're from?

[honorkept]

They are, yes.

[cameprepared]

Wild. Like. Biblical wild.

That's so far outside my experience I don't even know what to say.

[honorkept]

It's fine to have no response.

I can only hope we encounter nothing like them here.

[ though, like, his familiar is a demon but details ]

[cameprepared]

If we do, how do we kill them?

[honorkept]

It isn't as Biblical as one would think. They yield to weapons, I would not say easily, but they do eventually yield to them.

[cameprepared]

I'll keep that in mind then.

And maybe see about scaring up some holy water just in case.

[honorkept]

[ He thinks that she's making a joke and does breathe out a small laugh. ]

Not a terrible idea.

[cameprepared]

Yeah.

Well! I'm going to head off. Definitely take care of yourself.

Seriously consider allowing yourself a little latitude for forgiveness, too.

[honorkept]

I shall think about it.

Thank you.
