Now, I understand that you have an ally among the Eternals who has been assisting you. I find this deeply offensive. You needed a traitor and you didn't just come straight to me?

"Correct excess deviation." Our third principle. For a million years, we've done that. Earth has been protected from the Deviants. But we made a mistake...We missed some. The mutants. Their X-Gene came from the Deviants. They are not humans. They are Deviants...so they fall under our watchful purview. They have escaped the great Machine that is Earth and colonized Mars. Worse: They have escaped the chains of death itself. Their deviation will go on forever. This is excess deviation. It must be corrected. I, humble Druig, have been honored to be the Prime Eternal in these hours. You know my plans. I ask the approval of the Uni-Mind. Let me bring fire and death to those whom it's our eternal duty to correct.
