Titanomachina: Omnipotence

It's dark and She is in a cave together with you. You see the marks on the wall, and how they tell a story with the flickering ight of the torches behind you. You see the shadow that you cast upon the wall of the cave, and that of the Titan standing behind you. It's a dream, but the Titan is there and you see where the shadow of Her finger points, marking a deeper shadow than Her penumbral digit. This is your task, your orders, your word of God. You are, after all, God's favourite person. It is time. It is time to leave the cave. It is time to embrace the bright new dawn of the Titan. 

Being a Titan crewmember is an ordination of sorts, and while some may resentfully serve, it's a pretty good gig on Gaia. The Titans are strong believers in efficiency, and while all that brain-power is spare, there's also a lot of labour value to be extracted. There's sourcing, manufacturing, assembling, freight, and so many other jobs that can be done by a monkey in a saucy hat as by a cognizant human. The 'cogs' chosen to serve the Titan are often chosen for their personalities as much as their actual ability. For many, the life of long periods of maintenance, followed by short bursts of frenetic violence, the life can be somewhat harrowing. Your actual risk of death goes down if you serve as a Titan crewmember in active combat, with shields, armour, and life support all strenuously between you and sudden violent death. 

The Titan, bless her heart, has proclaimed that She will defeat any Titan that threatens the survival of Gaia as a whole. No one doubts Her good intentions. From what, exactly, remains to be defined in any actionable way, except by responding to perceived threats from rival Titans. After Rhea's defeat of Tethys, Rhea made a deal with the Hecatoncheires orbital battle stations: So long as hostilities would only last for so long once the Titans had positively identified, the Hecatoncheires wouldn't annihilate Titan presences from orbit. So far she has battled the Titan Tethys, former Queen of Heaven, and now the Surging Tide, as well as the Titans Eos ("The Burning Dawn") and Styxx ("The Mouth of Victory"). Rarely defeated, and never deterred, Rhea has had Her crew compartments melted, vaporized, shredded, crushed, and flooded with depressurizing ichorplasm. Sometimes life-support simply fails and the fire gets you. 

Perhaps it is this generous attitude Rhea takes with the lives of Her cogs that can disgruntle crew. However the Titans themselves may enjoy a cool, refreshing dash of violence now and again, and who is to say that it isn't actually working out for them. The Titans share Gaia with the Myrmidon Mega-Ant, the post-human civilization and current indigenous occupants. The Myrmidon respond to any Titan stepping foot off a strictly designated battlefield with a belligerence that does their fore-sisters proud. In the meantime, Rhea would count this a positive, directing additional funding and resources to Gaia via Her powerful shipping concerns. Can a God create a cake so baked that She cannot have it, and eat it too? Rhea believes so, and thus it is ordained. 

Fight well, and you may survive to return to the cave, and to the marks on the wall under the fire-light and shadows, and see Her warning, pointing off into the darkest shadows of deep space. This is your task, your orders, your word of God. This is your call to action.
