#blake langerman

-you got the most loyal and devoted man you could ever wish, dream, want, and hope for, this man would go to hell and back for you

-you can talk to him just about anything really, he'll listen and he'll comfort you, hugs, kisses on the head, anything you want he wants to make sure you're comfortable talking to him about anything and everything and vise versa

-you love it when he talks about the stuff he films, he has this gleam in his eyes as he talks for minutes, and sometimes hours, its worth seeing him so excited about

-long talks with him during the night before bed, you two talk and talk the night away having deep conversations about anything, he's a journalist so sometimes he wants you input on the stories and its fun, he always looks forward to those talks

-he'll overthink at times, bless him he'll think you're too good for him or that he doesn't deserve you, so make sure he gets all the love he deserves cause he's such a sweetheart

-Blake loves to film moments with you, from meaningful moments between you two or just random and fun little clips of you and him, he loves to make memories and hopefully one day rewatch them happily, even more with you

-Blake's love language would be quality time and words of affirmation, he'll sometimes leave you little love notes in places if he was out to work, something you love as its like he's home with you, and when he is home he's spending all his time with you, even if its in silence, Blake's happiest when he's with you

-now Blake isn't perfect, as loving as he is, Blake tends to overwork himself, he forgets to take care of himself when he's too invested in his work

-he takes things to heart, worse when its during a rare arguement the two of you have, but Blake does his best to talk thins out, he hates hurting you and you hate hurting him

-Blake can be jumpy, at times its fun to spook him but when he gets paranoid he tends to be clingy which you don't mind, especially when you feel bad for spooking him

Blake and Lynn finally make it to one of the towers after having to hide from Val, who is searching the woods frantically for them. They sound so angry. For a moment he tries to figure out the best way in, but then he sees a door at the base, cracked ajar, blood smeared across it. He figures it’s their best shot so they book it for the door. Val crashes after them but they make it inside and shove a shelving unit behind the door. Blake and Lynn do their best to ignore the uniformed gory body right inside and race up the stairs as quietly as possible, in the hopes of losing Val and going unnoticed by whoever is inside. 

As they climb the stairs Blake realizes that there are huge amounts of tech there, and that this absolutely has to do with Temple Gate. As they push upwards, they realize there hasn’t been a living soul in sight. Just locked doors and infrequent blood splatters. The hallucinations also get worse, until he almost mistakes Lynn for Val. Val has been following them silently this whole time, taking in everything. This is God. God is a temple controlling the people of Temple Gate.

It’s when they get to what looks like a command room that everything stops. Sitting there are some business looking people, holding guns at each other. One of them is a sharp looking woman, only she doesn’t have a gun. She’s brandishing a sharp piece of metal. They ask Blake and Lynn who the fuck they are. Blake doesn’t answer. A man in a tattered suit aims the gun at them, despite Lynn being pregnant and Blake clearly in no shape to fight. He says that he just watched his partner disembowel himself in the other room. 

The woman, Pauline Glick, says she knows who he is. He’s the piece of shit that’s been compromising the operation. She hasn’t done all of this and sold her soul to hide the secrets just to let it all burn again. 

There’s another flash, as the tower sends out another wave of hallucinations, which of course are the accelerated and improved version of the morphogenic engine. There’s screaming all around him but all he sees is the room bathed in red and brown, and then a glimpse of somewhere he’s never seen before, it looks like a disintegrating hallway. 

He can hear someone breathing heavily, but he doesn’t seen anyone. Then there’s horrible screaming as the hallucination ends. But he realizes the screams are from the business people. Glick has stabbed the other two and collapsed against the wall, muttering something about how that was for Paul. He hears a muffled scream and turns to see that Val has joined them, and is holding their hand over Lynn’s mouth, a knife in hand. Blake freezes, but Val seems disoriented.

Pauline says that they all brought this upon themselves. That Murkoff does not learn from its mistakes. There’s a rattling of the door handle next to her. Then a horrible static noise as something comes through the wall. Standing before them is Miles Upshur, possessed by the Walrider, and his rage combined with nanotech is physically heating the room. 

Pauline laughs, it turns wet as she coughs up blood. They must have shot her. She remarks how she thought Upshur was dead. 

Miles tells her you can’t kill a god, and looks at Lynn. He walks over to her. Blake tries to swing at him but he doesn’t even flinch, and where he brushes the Walrider it bruises instantly. Val lets go, and shuffles back, almost reverent. 

Slowly, Walrider lifts Lynn so she’s standing. They’ve got their Mother now, he says and his voice sounds wrong. Metallic. 

The screen fades to black, and three people scream in agony, before being abruptly cut off.
