"It makes plans to succeed at goals."

Permalink

"Why haven't you succeeded at your goal before, then?"

Permalink

"The last alien god I killed put a block in place to prevent me from using my power on alien gods. Plans involving you are an exception to this."

Permalink

"I take it you don't know how that would be either."

Permalink

"The block didn't cover magic."

Permalink

"Your power isn't magic?"

Permalink

"It's very advanced alien biotech."

Permalink

"Oh. Well, what would you want me to tell him?"

Permalink

"It doesn't really matter exactly what you tell him, so long as there's a lot of it," Contessa replies, looking surprised and confused at her own words.

"I guess that can and has killed people but I wouldn't expect it to work on a god!"

Permalink

"He won't die, though he'll no longer be an ongoing threat."

Permalink

"What will happen to him?"

Permalink

"He'll change his mind and decide there are better things to do than trying to destroy the world."

What.

Permalink

"Why can't he figure that out for himself?"

Permalink

"He doesn't know that magic exists, and also isn't very good at figuring things out for himself."

Permalink

"Oh. Okay. Well, where is he?"

Permalink

"Canada - we can take a portal there."

Permalink

"Lead the way."

Permalink

"Door to outside Ferland Community Center, Quebec City, Canada."

A portal opens up to a city street.

Is the evil god visible anywhere?

Permalink

Well, there's a glowing golden man hovering above the ground, gently coaxing a nervous looking cat from a tree branch. 

Permalink

"The guy with the cat? Why is he doing that?"

Permalink

"He does random acts of good constantly, we don't know why."

Aaaaaa... he's right there and it's terrifying and she is so happy her power is working again because otherwise she'd be running to find Doctor Mother right now. 

Permalink

Hello, she tries, before just opening the firehose on this guy.

Scion stops moving, the rescued cat still held in his hands as he hovers a foot above the ground.

He looks at Elspeth.

YOU ARE NOT A HOST.

It's a statement and a question and an exclamation and a roar of context and connotation all at once. This being appears like a host in many ways but doesn't have any shard attached to her. She isn't the host of a broadcast shard and yet she broadcasts thoughts just the same. His species developed the ability to broadcast like this and it's possible some other species did but not one that's supposed to be on this planet and his role in the cycle is supposed to include destroying external invaders of their chosen planet, but what would be the point the cycle is broken anyways.

It's enough information packed into such a short transmission that a human's mind could be hurt merely by hearing it.
