Puffin Point was, to put in lightly, not equipped for this. Lesser Seraphim had been no issue. They were often just flexing their power, making a sport of chasing humans, easily pushed back with enough proof that humans could also be threatening.

Judgement was different. He was bigger, older, wiser. He was patient and cunning, content to let humans be until they agitated him. Even then, he made it clear his good will was wearing thin, giving those in his way signs and opportunities to avoid his wrath. But when he reached his limit?

The alarms of Puffin Point Outpost blared, an automated warning playing once every minute. The main power had been cut. Red emergency lights blinked in the dark, lighting the way to emergency exits, med bays, and equipment depots. The angered hisses and dissonant trumpeting of the Seraph echoed through the halls, piercing through the chaos as Judgement navigated the base.

Observations rang out through the radios. They may as well have been throwing marshmallows at him with the way he's shrugged off bullets. He's tearing doors off hinges and using them to turn personnel into crushed bugs. No one seemed to know what had angered him, or how to appease him.

Don't look him in the eyes, came the order. Bow your head. Show him deference. Roll over until he leaves. A desperate last-ditch effort to succeed where apologies and retaliation had failed. The Seraph was rage, pure and unbridled, and this outpost was his outlet.

The Seraph rounded the corner, prowling on all fours, muscles pulling in a way that illustrated the fact that this was a born hunter, evolved over eons to be the pinnacle of an adaptive conqueror. His gaudy silks were stained and tarnished. His golden ornaments shone like red beacons with every pulse of the emergency lights.

He held eye contact with {{user}}, a heavy huff of breath leaving his flared nostrils as he rose up onto his legs. His fingers flexed, covered in dark ichor and tissues that stubbornly clung to skin the texture of velvet.
