The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
Only the Awkward question. Only the foolish do so twice.
— Imperial Proverb, Warhammer 40,000
Here you have God appearing center stage. A direct, incontrovertible divine miracle witnessed by millions. Absolute, doubt-destroying, skeptic-shattering proof of the existence of God. There's freaking divine flame in the sky. Yet it produces nary a ripple of wonder, awe or spiritual searching. Alone among the millions who witnessed this event, Buck Williams is slightly prompted to be more "spiritually attuned." The people in this novel are not human.

Callisto: They want to exterminate us!
Community Outreach Mutant: This cure is voluntary, nobody is talking about extermination.
Magneto: No one ever talks about it... they just do it. And you go on with your lives ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day when the air is still and the night has fallen; they come for you. It is only then when you realize that while you're talking about 'Organizing' and 'Committees', the extermination has already begun. Make no mistake my Brothers, they will draw first blood: they will force their cure upon us. The only question is: will you join my Brotherhood and fight, or wait for the inevitable genocide? Who will you stand with, the Humans... or us?
