In HFO Post 19, Qhobeg asks Hermes if he could just get the various summoned factions to stop fighting, but Hermes is apathetic to doing so. He believes so long as they also deal with the alien angels, then the task is complete. However, Qhobeg also points out that they would blame Hermes for this whole debacle, to which Hermes reluctantly agrees. Hermes doesn't believe that any of the factions outside of Orbital One are responsible for the relocation of the galactic supercluster, including the alien angels. He does, however, say that they knew it would happen, according to The Oracle, who predicted the arrival of the demi-god, Nick, and sacrificed him in HFO Post 10. CynthAI had managed to begin repairs on the station with the station's nanites. The group decide they should capture an angel alive so they could interrogate her. Seraphim decides to go outside to help Judge, and her Yoshis, in battle, giving the station more time to repair and capture an angel. Judge's Yoshi, however, is very keen and keeps killing the alien angels before they could capture one.

Dead or Alive... You're Coming with Me[]
Qhobeg: "Can't you just... stop them from killing each other?"
Hermes: "Probably."
Qhobeg: "So..."
Hermes: "That would require tremendous amounts of willpower on my behalf."
Qhobeg: "You mean you're way too lazy, right?"
Hermes: "More like general... apathy."
Qhobeg facepalms.
Hermes: "Well, I just don't see what the complaint is. As long as they're all killing each other, we're left alone. Whoever is victorious is our ally in any case."
Qhobeg: "Unless the alien angels win."
Hermes: "Quite."
Qhobeg: "And whoever does win, will probably think you're to blame for luring them into this death-trap."
Hermes: "... ... ... hadn't considered that."
Qhobeg: "'Course not."
Benjamin: "Looks like CynthAI has started to repair the station. The nanites are out."
Qhobeg: "Be careful. The little buggers bite."
Benjamin: "Let's just hope the station is repaired before that battle is over - regardless of who wins."
Seraphim matches back to the small group, turning away from the scene beyond the protective oxygen field that is glued to the station's shape.
Seraphim: "Could one of those forces out there be responsible for relocating this entire supercluster?"
Hermes shrugs.
Hermes: "I doubt it. Even your... what do you call them-? Alien angels. Even they couldn't have moved all that mass. Though it appears they knew about it. For centuries, I believe the Oracle said? Correct Seraphim?"
Seraphim: "Apparently. They needed to sacrifice something as potent as a demi-god to open up a gateway from... wherever to that wasteland planet. And she'd been waiting all this time for Nick to show up."
Qhobeg: "So... it might be a good idea to catch one of those angels alive?"
Seraphim sighs.
Seraphim: "I'm beginning to regret coming back."
Qhobeg: "You love it really! What were you doing without us?"
Seraphim: "Seeing the world. I stood on the highest peak of the Himalayas, I stood at the furthest point from civilisation in the Antarctic, I gazed at the Wonders of the World, I bathed in the warmest oceans, I--"
Qhobeg: "Naked?"
Seraphim: "I can't get back to Earth unless I help you resolve this problem, can I?"
Hermes: "Well, I could probably think of a few ways yo--"
Benjamin: "What Hermes means to say is that things wouldn't be the same on Earth, even if you did return alone. We need to get everything back to where it belongs."
Seraphim: "I'll go and get Judge and her... green... dinosaur..."
Qhobeg: "Yoshi."
Seraphim: "Yes... that... thing... and we'll try to catch a heathen angel alive."
She turns, runs -- Qhobeg stares at her perfect womanly form -- and jumps out of the protective shield. Her wings spread wide and she swoops off to find Judge amidst the mayhem of the battle.

Inquisitor Delta: "The final transport is headed your way now. Those Void Ranger transports you called in were a success. All stations are otherwise in place and are being prepared for activation on your mark."
Lobo Ono: "I see it now. I'll contact you again when it's ready."

Judge: "WRAAAAAA!!!"
Seraphim: "WAIT! DON'T K--"
The angel explodes into tiny bits of Ordimarian Phrophetim gore that drifts away from the telekinetic explosion caused by Judge. She turns to see Seraphim facepalm.
Judge: "Well, well! Finally decided to join me!? Took you long enough, what were you doing?"
Seraphim: "I wasn't actually going to come out here..."
Judge: "What? You were going to let me have all the fun!? Yoshi, BURNINATE[Ext 1]!"
Yoshi: "YOSHI!!"
A flaming ball of death bursts from the Yoshi's jaws as incinerates another angel.
Seraphim: "No! Ack! We need to take one alive, Judge!"
Judge: "Oh right. Oops?"
Seraphim: "Here come more of them."
Judge: "Yoshi, only burninate them a... little..."
Yoshi: "YOSHI!!!!"
Exactly the same fireball smacks into the first angel and instantly sets her aflame.
Judge: "Bad Yoshi."
Yoshi: "Yoshi..." :(
Judge: "Oh! I can't stay mad at you!!"
Yoshi: "YOSHI!!!!"
Yoshi once again burns the remaining angels.
Judge: "... ... He's just very keen."
Seraphim: "Your... thing... is a menace."
Yoshi: "Yoshi..." :(
Judge: "Careful! You'll hurt his feelings!"
