That's a superb turn of phrase in context. Please tell me you did that on purpose.

If you're referring to the following I did think carefully about the "My and God's Name?", making the assumption that the "Thing Under The Temple" is an Archangel, probably specifically Schueler. Or maybe Schueler gets woken up by the Key (or is contained in the Key as a virtual personality). That would make it particularly ironic since the Grand Fornicator is a Schuelerite.

Personally, I'd prefer that the Grand Fornicator's comeuppance come from the "Thing Under The Temple" waking up an telling him 'You've been doing WHAT in My and God's Name?" and then condemning him and the Inquisition.

But that's probably too much of a deux ex machina.

"Deus ex machina" was the subject of my compliment.

Well, there I was simply thinking that if the "Thing Under The Temple" was suddenly on the good guys side (Charis), it would make the Big Reveal too easy and RFC doesn't tend to do things like that unless he's telegraphed it (subtly) beforehand.
