Summary
“I have faith that there are more than technological workings in there, despite my insufficient knowledge –” Gabriel paused without breath, mulling it over, “– so would you… reconsider your intentions of further descent?”
They craned their neck at a sharper angle, audials straining to hear him.
“No – beyond that, I wish for you to find some other way and live. For me.”
Hell does not bestow upon the victor of its simulated bloodbath with a crown of laurels, but an ultimatum.
V1 knows that triumph is their demise.

Summary
Gabriel hurriedly pulled out the paperwork from where he’d stuffed it into his satchel strapped to his belt. Keeping one eye on the pair of machines below, he rifled through the crumpled paper almost desperately, actually reading the damn thing beyond the barebones profile at the start and hoped that the pull he felt towards the machine was because it had just killed his actual human charge and was hauling about their blood-
Charge's History: Created by WORMWOOD FOUNDARIES, a mobile landship who services the EASTERN DESERT PLAINS, and a prototype machine built to combat the now defunct Earthmovers. Only one was created, though a ‘Security Variant’ called V2 was created one year after activation-
GOD-FUCKING-DAMN IT.
or;
Due to a clerical error, Gabriel gets assigned as V1's guardian angel, who is on the run with V2 to avoid decommissioning. Gabriel is too stubborn to give up before he gives it an honest try, though.

Summary
“Doest thou enjoy this view?” Minos commented after allowing Gabriel a moment for himself, “Time after time, it always blesses mine eyes; it’s a wondrous thing.”
The archangel scoffed. “Wondrous for sinners. This development leaves much to be desired- this is Hell, Minos. There is no beauty in crime.”
“Hm.” The king only retorted, contemplative.

Summary
“Same blood,” The Angel of Judgment's tone is curt, losing patience with Gabriel’s arguing.
Gabriel hesitates, “Er, yes, the machine does possess my blood, but that does not–”
“Same body.”
Gabriel splutters, “We do NOT–”
Abruptly, Judgment summons a vision. Gabriel stares at his own corpse in stunned silence. Where they had fallen in battle, they truly look as if they had crawled into each other’s skin. Angel and machine, utterly entwined. It is impossible to distinguish where one of them ends and the other begins.
“Ah…” Gabriel struggles to find the words to argue. “Well… That’s– um.”
*
Gabriel and V1 fight to the death and accidentally merge their souls. And then things get worse.
