- The Children of Monsters' highest-positioned members stand in a large circle; their leader, Daiyu Chen, is in the middle. They appear to be in deep discussion.
- (Anton Maximoff): Daiyu, what shall we do now?! We've been in hiding for nearly 3 months, you've been ousted from position as Denouncer after your "betrayal", and our masters have been defeated!
- (Daiyu Chen): Patience, Anton. It is only a matter of time.
- (Anton Maximoff): A matter of time for what, exactly? We have literally nothing now!
- (Daiyu Chen): Not nothing. We have the key to an even better future. Isn't that right...... Irys?
- After speaking its name, a creature that looks like a snail with no eye-stalks and many tentacles floats over next to Daiyu Chen and lowers its head for her to stroke it. The other cult members bow before it as it passes them.
- (Daiyu Chen): He is our key to our glorious future. Our former masters had planned on simply consuming the Human race. We had not foreseen that coming, and it was clear that their leader was quite mad with power. He was too focused on making us Humans docile that he forgot to exercise his full power against his enemies. But we will not make the same mistake.
- (Anton Maximoff): Is that so? And how are we going to achieve that?
- (Daiyu Chen): We will bide our time, usher in Irys through his growth, teach him, empower him. He will call forth an even greater force than our former masters. And they will not consume us in our entirety for their own plans. We will live in a beautiful harmony. A world of..... perfection.
- The cult members nod and talk among themselves; most of them find themselves agreeing with Daiyu Chen's proposition. However, Anton Maximoff and a few of his peers are in a clear disagreement.
- (Anton Maximoff): This will not do! We cannot wait any longer! I wil--
- Anton Maximoff is cut short; his peers' mouths are left wide open. They watch in horror as one of Irys' tentacles' blades stabs into the cultist researcher and slowly absorbs his insides until nothing is left but a shriveled corpse devoid of everything but skin and bones.
- One of his peers speaks up.
- (Cultist): What have you done?! Without him, we won't have any access to his technology!!
- (Daiyu Chen): No need to worry, my brothers and sisters. We already have all of the technological progress we needed from him. He was of no use to us anymore.
- The other cultists all kneel before Irys and Daiyu Chen and cross their arms across their bodies.
- (Cultists): EVERYTHING WILL BE UNDER CONTROL! INDEED! UNDER CONTROL!

- In the deep reaches of space, among the many asteroids, several particularly large ones begin to rumble; blue lights emanate from their holes.
