We draw our line, however, with certain types of heresy - those types that threaten to do genuine harm to us. This new cult that has arisen, worshipers of these "Children of the Void," has shown evidence of having a degree of truth and some form of highly advanced brainwashing. We now believe them to be worshipers of a species of cosmic entity, and based on information forcibly "extracted" from the cultists, we believe said species to be an existential threat to our Empire. Therefore, I first of all recommend hunting down every single member of the cult, saving them if possible, executing them if necessary, and second of all putting copious funds towards our space program. We will find these entities, and we will destroy them. - Inquisitor Hannibal Wallace, to a formal meeting between officials of the Church, the Empire, and a number of lords and CEOs.
"I do not think you comprehend just how powerful such entities can be. I had the 'pleasure' of having one come to our world, once. She had already destroyed several others before ours. And though me and my sister have extremely powerful magic, it almost killed her twice and it managed to introduce an evil split personality into my mind. In the end, it could only be stopped by a united force consisting of nearly all of this world's most powerful magical users. Although that one may just have been anomalously powerful..."
