"The head of the Russian prong is Alpha?" Aldrich had to resist the urge to take a pause right then and there The revelation was staggering, but at the same time, it explained quite a bit
Specifically about the Russian prong's capabilities in creating bots and evading detection in Cyberspace It also explained how the Stranger was capable of taking over the Judicata with such ease Demonic possession explained some of it, but this practically solidified the how to

What this did not explain was the tie to deated
"That is indeed what I stated," said Beta
"I knoas just saying it out loud for myself Hm, do you, by any chance, knohat demons are?"
"I do They are all shards of an existence known as the Formless Decay Parasitic in nature, these shards attach upon civilizations and s within the into creatures that manifest the most destructive tendencies of the sentient races they anchor on"
