WHILE EXPECTING SOMETHINGĀ of the nature, witnessing Birkinās distended form still manages to elicit a twitch of the lip coupled with the raise of brow from the elder B.O.W. An exhalation composed of far too many phantoms escapes his flaring nostrils -- he makes his advance, slinks forward in his tatters. This sin-eater is unable yet to have consumed his betrayal of S.T.A.R.S., however, all thoughts on the matter lapse as Gās viral markers call to the Mothervirus, alerting within him due to growing proximity.Ā Ā Ā
ā Enthralling.Ā ā Deadpans, eyes narrowing somewhat at a display meant to get under his skin. What can be done regarding William, at this point in time? Golgotha would not give up its host, it is physically impossible to separate the two -- control, however, may be exerted still. He will not entreat William, dormant as the man remains, but rather, communicate with Golgotha itself.Ā ā Is this meant to deter me, little one?

None of them, however, could depict such an aberrant, yet exquisite vision in mere prose. Communication continues non-verbally, the flaring of crimson the sole physical sign of a process beyond human comprehension. A process born deep within the DNA, branching outward into the vacuum that is life -- in all its ridiculousness.
