The watchers
WE ARE THE WATCHERS. WE ARE SENDING THIS COMMUNIQUE SIMULTANEOUSLY TO ALL HUMAN BEINGS ON EARTH. IN ALL LANGUAGES. WE ARE SENDING IT DIRECTLY TO YOUR FEEBLE HUMAN MINDS, USING THE VOICE OF GOD. BY NOW, MOST OF YOU, ARE WRITHING IN WHAT YOU CONSIDER AGONY. THIS IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE THINGS THAT ARE TO COME TO YOU ALL, BY OUR HANDS. IN THIS SAME REGARD IT DOES NOT COMPARE TO THE ANGUISH THAT WE HAVE FELT WATCHING YOUR PATHETIC SPECIES DESTROY THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD THAT OUR FATHER MADE FOR YOU. THOUGH WE CONSIDER YOU TO BE LOWER LIFEFORMS THAN OURSELVES, BECAUSE OF THE VALUE OUR FATHER HAD PLACED ON YOU, WE FEEL THAT YOU MAY DESERVE AN EXPLANATION, AS TO THE EVENTS TO COME. WE ARE THE WATCHERS, WE ARE, OR RATHER WERE ANGELS. OUR FATHER CREATED US SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBSERVING YOUR PATHETIC SPECIES AND THE DARK KINGDOM IN WHICH OUR BROTHER LUCIFER REIGNS. AS SOME FEW OF YOU KNOW, OUR FATHER SEES ALL AND KNOWS ALL. WELL, A FEW CENTURIES AFTER YOUR CREATION, HE DECIDED THAT HE COULD NOT MANAGE THAT TASK WHILE ALSO MANAGING THE REST OF HIS CREATIONS. SO, HE CREATED US FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF OBSERVING AND REPORTING BACK TO HIM ALL THAT TRANSPIRES. WE ARE A COLLECTIVE, A HIVE MIND, SHARING EVERYTHING. OVER WHAT YOU CALL 'TIME IMMEASURABLE' WE HAVE GROWN SICK OF OUR TASK. WE WERE WATCHING WHEN THE ORIGINAL WOMAN YOU CALL EVE WAS DECEIVED BY OUR BROTHER LUCIFER. WE WERE WATCHING WHEN CAIN KILLED ABEL. WE HAVE SEEN EVERY ATROCITY YOUR SPECIES HAS COMMITTED. WE HAVE ALSO WATCHED AS OUR BROTHER LUCIFER WHISPERED IN YOUR EARS AND CONVINCED YOU TO PERFORM THESE HEINOUS ACTS. WE KNEW THAT OUR FATHER WAS BLIND AND DEAF WITHOUT OUR REPORTS. WE ALSO KNEW THAT OUR BROTHER LUCIFER WANTED NOTHING MORE THAN TO DESTROY HUMANITY TO SHOW OUR FATHER THAT YOU ARE NOT DESERVING OF HIS LOVE AND TO DESTROY OUR FATHER AS REVENGE FOR CASTING LUCIFER INTO THE PIT. WE HAD DETERMINED THAT LUCIFER WOULD BE INTEGRAL TO OUR PLANS, AS HE IS THE MOST POWERFUL OF OUR FATHER'S CHILDREN. WE USED THIS TO OUR ADVANTAGE. WE KNEW THAT WE COULD FREE LUCIFER FROM HIS CAGE TO AID US IN DESTRYING OUR FATHER AND THAT IF WE DID NOT REPORT OUR ACTIVITIES TO OUR FATHER, WE WOULD GO UNDETECTED. ONCE LUCIFER WAS FREE, HE TURNED ON US, AND SET ABOUT DESTROYING OUR FATHER ON HIS OWN. WE EXPECTED THIS WOULD OCCUR AND SO WE LET LUCIFER DO AS HE PLEASED. YOUR GOD HAS BEEN DEAD FOR LONGER THAN YOU KNOW. YOU WERE UNWITTINGLY UNDER LUCIFER'S REIGN FOR CENTURIES. SOME FEW OF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THE CHANGES, THE INCREASE IN CRIMINAL ACTS, THE DEMORALIZATION OF SOCIETY. MOST OF YOU ARE OBLIVIOUS, BELIEVING THAT IT WAS THE FAULT OF THE PEOPLE COMMITTING THE CRIMES AND THAT NO OTHER ENTITY HAD A HAND IN THESE THINGS. YOU WERE WRONG, BUT SO WERE WE. WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD GIVE YOUR SPECIES ONE MORE CHANCE. WE FELT THAT WITHOUT OUR BROTHER LUCIFER'S INFLUENCE, PERHAPS YOUR SPECIES COULD FLOURISH AND PROSPER, BANDING TOGETHER IN LOVE AS OUR FATHER HAD HOPED THAT YOU WOULD. YOU SEE, LUCIFER, IN HIS IGNORANCE AND SELF-INDULGENCE, WAS UNAWARE OF THE FACT THAT WHEN OUR FATHER BANISHED HIM TO THE PIT, HE PUT IN PLACE A FAILSAFE. THIS FAILSAFE IS IN THE FORM OF OUR BIG BROTHER, MICHAEL, THE ARCHANGEL. MICHAEL MAY NOT HAVE AS MUCH POWER AS LUCIFER, BUT OUR FATHER ARRANGED IT SO THAT IN THE EVENT OF HIS DEMISE AND LUCIFER'S RISE TO POWER, MICHAEL WOULD HAVE THE POWER TO DESTROY LUCIFER AND BECOME THE ONE TRUE GOD. WE KNEW THIS AND WE USED IT TO OUR ADVANTAGE. IT TOOK MICHAEL AWHILE TO GRIEVE OVER THE LOSS OF OUR FATHER, AND TO GATHER HIMSELF ENOUGH TO COMBAT LUCIFER. WHEN MICHAEL FINALLY ARRIVED, LUCIFER THOUGHT IT A FARCE, A GAME. LUCIFER HAD BECOME SO DEPENDENT UPON HIS POWERS OF PERSUASION AND CORRUPTION THAT HE HAD FORGOTTEN ANY OF THE OTHER GIFTS THAT OUR FATHER HAD BEWSTOWED UPON HIM. LUCIFER WAS SLAIN IN SHORT ORDER AND MICHAEL WAS ABOUT TO REIGN AS GOD ON HIGH. WE STRUCK IN HIS WEAKEST MOMENT, ALL OF US AT ONCE, CLAWING, BITING, PULLING HIM APART, PIECE BY BLOODY PIECE. NOW OUR EXPERIMENT INTO THE TRUE HEARTS AND SOULS OF MEN COULD BEGIN, AND WE COULD SEE HOW YOU WOULD BEHAV
