Not…precisely…sure, the StarOrg wants them Dead Outside as well as In, but Veled doesn’t seem to care as long as they don’t make nuisances of themselves. I imagine that a lot of politicals and militaries take similar lines – pragmatism first, holy crusade second. On the Shattered side of things, they don’t seem to care, or feel the risks of fighting and really motivating the Celeste to get serious are too great. So, cold war, not hot.

Having any Pure, let alone all 9, side with the Djinn and Vamps would change the formula rather extensively – one of the Celestia’s big powers is being able to mobilize the Endless and StarOrg towards a goal. The Pure Celeste would harm that capability – what do you do when the saints say one thing, and the angels say the opposite? Answer: Schism or duck. The Half-Celeste could not afford it, and they’d probably have to bring the fight some how, and quickly.

Having a Pure side with Areal, which is anti-half-Celeste, is similarly problematic, for about half the same reasons.

@The_Rippy_One: I'm not entirely sure, but isn't that kinda what's already going on with the Hybrids vs Djinn? :P

You know, having the half-celeste displaced and eradicated probably would be world ending, from a certain perspective. Not sure how I feel about a Celeste/Djinn alliance against the half-Celeste status quo. On one side, if Veled sided with Rei and the pure, there would be a whole lot of awesome. On the other hand, it would risk have an aspect of genocidal war, and that isn’t ever a good thing.

@e_voyager: It’d be awesomely entertaining if however few Purebreds were left rose up and destroyed everything. 😈

…or maybe someone somewhere’s been spending the last few millennia following Captain Eyepatch’s plan in secret. 😯

@Kermit and Sulcumas. The prophecy never says who they is. they could be the pure blood Celeste after all. judging from Daisy’s reaction they are so rare as to be mythic to most being in the galaxy

@Kermit: Makes sense to me, though I kinda write off that prophecy given its source (at least as far as we know). Seems the danger would come more from the Endless freaking out than the Otherworlders actually showing up.

I wonder whether the Hybrids would be able to stave off the Otherworlders without the Djinn helping like they did last time.

I’m starting to think that the bit of Veled’s prophecy about “They shall return when all shall see / a Dead Inside where none should be” refers to Saw, Jason and/or Alice taking a stand with Rei against the Endless. From the Endless perspective, a pack of Insiders definitely shouldn’t be allied with a pure Celeste against the hybrids.

@Josh.C: Even though it's really farfetched, it wouldn't be the first time the Celeste tried something major on a planet they didn't completely control (...yet). :o I wonder where they'd try to hide her on the station. She's HUGE! :P @kemanorel: Maybe if Jig can't stamp him in herself, she could get someone with bigger feet to help? :3

@kemanorel: since he’s going in face first? yes, the wings can position to allow him passage. It’s coming back out that needs assistance. Or dark Whismeric powers.

Gabriel has wings. Is he even going to fit through the hatch?
