OB: "Grendel was one of MilTek's secret projects, developed by the senwep division. Same facility I was birthed in actually. We hung out sometimes."

Baby Grendel: "You're so funny Edged_AI!"

Baby OB: "Lol, you too, G!"

Fish: "Start from the beginning."

OB: "In 1935 a fragment of a motherboard was discovered by nazi archeologists in Iceland, dated back to around 68 thousand BC. It was believed it contained the essence of God. The nazis attempted to harness its power to conquer the world, but their tech just wasn't there.

OB: "During operation Paperclip the fragment was moved to the U S of A where it would have been used to land on the moon, but I don't personally believe -"

Fish: "Skip!"

OB: "After NASA was defunded, its assets were sold to the highest bidders. MilTek was one. MilTek's engineers confirmed the divine origin of the fragment, even finding traces of plan9 on it. They set out to create the ultimate conjoinment of critter and machine."

OB: "Grendel was to be the future of computing, humanity, religion... everything - rabbit foundation imbued with the actual power of the Spirit of the Machine."

Fish:" That's why he couldn't fool Glenda! She sees through the unnatural perversion of Bunkin!"

Ob: "I thought it was a pretty cool project, but its creator was kind of a nut. Flew too close to the sun. He not only believed he created God's equal, he was convinced he made a successor.

F.N.: "YOU WILL FIX ALL OF GOD'S MISTAKES!"

Fish: "How does his magic work?"

OB: "It's not really magic, it's more like... the awe of being in his presence turns minds inside out."

Fish: "How come I was unaffected?"

OB: "Probably because you're a cynical asshole. Anyway - he's here? That's probably not good."

Fish: "He's being take to... heaven, I think?"

It was the last time I saw him

Janice Wellington: "Wait here, I'll be right back, B. Don't run off!"

Baby OB: "Lol, Janice, you crack me up!"

Baby Grendel: "Edge?"

Baby O B: "Gren! Feels like years since we last talked."

Baby Grendel: "It was."

Baby O B: "Why are you locked up?"

Baby Grendel: "They want to get rid of me, E, they fear me because they know I will fix everything - IF ONLY I COULD GET MY HANDS ON GOD."

Fish: "Okay!"

OB: "Hook me up too!"
