01 - Nephilim (PILOT)
”BE NOT AFRAID! I will try to speak to you in a way that you will understand, using a human language of your current historical dialect. We first tried the method of just beaming our message directly into your minds, but we did not expect the absolute carnage as so many heads burst like old lightbulbs."
Science is introduced to humanity too early, too quickly, as a group of angels fall in love with humans and have children together. In the middle of all the chaos, a man gets a job offer from God that he can’t refuse.
Content warnings: non graphic mention of head explosion, decapitation, violence.
