Before you slip away, we cast you into the massacre of our twisted inexorable scheme. When you thought you were at your weakest, that is when we chose to reshape you, we will make you STRONGER. Through the erudite citadel of infinity and terminus; logic is no more. Our mortal forms take on a new configuration. We will manifest this brutal skirmish with the armaments surrounding us; anything that can be desperately grasped at. We are starving, we are relentless and we also like to play video games.
