Anjos e servos mortais irão caçá-los e os humanos se recusarão a lidar com eles.
Some demons completely abandon their pasts as angels or have nothing to do with their fellow Unchained. No demon who wants to last long ignores her Cover. Without a functioning Cover, a demon is a beacon to the God-Machine’s hunters, who pursue her mercilessly until she is destroyed or finds some way to hide her glow. Her true form is also revealed, making it nearly impossible to deal with humans. That said, some demons view their Covers as mere necessities — day jobs — rather than important parts of their identities. (p40 Demon the Descent)
Então, se eles estourarem sua cobertura, a máquina divina enviará anjos para matá-los ou cortá-los para partes. Se eles mantiverem ou encontrarem uma nova capa, os anjos não virão para matá-los.
A máquina divina quer manter o mundo como está, sem grandes mudanças na infra-estrutura.
Demons tell stories of natural disasters stemming from the gears getting jammed or broken, which point to that existence being necessary for humanity to survive in anything like its modern state. The God-Machine wants the World of Darkness as it is, a place of shadows and secrets, of monsters hiding in broken mirrors and strangely patterned spiders that invade the human mind. (p22 Demon the Descent)
Mas anjos individuais têm missões. Eles se concentrarão nisso, embora façam o possível para manter sua infraestrutura para evitar serem encontrados. Você ameaçando a missão deles não significa que eles recuarão - eles podem decidir matar você e todas as testemunhas.
Above all, angels are supposed to do as they are told. For a loyal angel, disobeying the God-Machine’s commands is unthinkable. An angel might make choices — the God-Machine wants self-driven operatives, not mindless slaves — but they don’t decide what to do. An angel sent to kill all the humans in a building might decide on the most efficient approach to minimize the number of humans who might escape or find somewhere to hide. It has its choice of weapons or other strategies, such as setting the building on fire first or cutting off the electricity or disguising itself as a normal human and infiltrating its target. The angel isn’t free, however, to spare some of the humans or look for a solution that doesn’t involve murder. In fact, an angel in this situation probably doesn’t even know the context. It can’t know if there is a way to achieve its objectives without killing people; it isn’t expected to. It is supposed to understand and complete its mission without question. (p32)
Se você está tentando explodir o sobrenatural, o caminho lógico para eles é assassiná-lo com seus servos mortais e angelicais.
Sometimes concealment just isn’t enough. Mortals and supernatural beings notice something unusual and wind up poking around to satisfy their curiosity in a way that might disrupt a God-Machine project or, even worse, actively work to counter the deleterious side-effects of said project in such a way that could create difficulties for the God-Machine. That’s when the GodMachine has to rely on more overt means of getting rid of these nuisances. From mortal cultists and supernatural creatures to spirits, monsters, and mechanical servants, the God-Machine has armies of allies (or pawns) at its disposal to get rid of inquisitive humans. It still tries to do so quietly, but when the God-Machine faces a real threat to its Infrastructure, “quietly” is more likely to involve a sniper on a roof or some nightmare creature waiting in the back seat of the troublemaker’s car (p62 Demon the Descent)
Se você está bem com isso, vá em frente.
