At first Electa didn't take it in, and then what the angel was saying slammed through her like a tsunami.
"The First Wave was primarily to see if it could be done," said Nate heavily. "Could angels survive in this way? And the answer seems to be yes. Most angels have taken to feeding off humans with alacrity. Enjoyment, even." His face twisted in disgust. "So, its been deemed a success. The news came through about six weeks ago; the Second Wave has now been authorized. When it occurs, it will roughly double the number of angels currently here."

Vexin was silent, now just hiding in his wings and shaking.

"When?" asked Electa. Her throat was dry.
Nates eyes met hers. "Tomorrow," he said.
"Tomorrow?"
Nate nodded. "The plans have been in place for more than two years; once the green light came six weeks ago, things happened quickly."
"Here, look at this," said Sophie, reaching for her briefcase. She handed over a white flyer with silver-and-blue lettering. It had the Church of Angels logo of an angel with outstretched wings and arms, and it read:
THE ANGELS ARE COMING!
OCTOBER 31ST IS USUALLY ALL HALLOWS EVE, BUT THIS YEAR ITS ALL ANGELS EVE.
We have prayed, and the angels have answered. By their loving grace, our world is about to be blessed with an even stronger angelic presence. The angels have heard our pleas, our hopes and dreams, and they are coming to us. Be there to help herald in a new, better world with the angels.
SPECIAL SERVICE AND CELEBRATION CHURCH OF ANGELS MAIN CATHEDRAL, DENVER, CO SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31ST, 4:00 P.M

Vex still hid in his wings, hands covering his face. 'Why?! Those bad ones, why?! Why can't they all be nice?!'

Electa stared, at a loss for words. The Invasion had been bad enough. She tried to imagine the number of angels on earth doubling and then more arriving after that, and even more after that. It would be a wholesale slaughter of humans at that point. And from the sounds of things, she was the only Angel Killer left.

Vex used one wing to gingerly drape it over Electa's back, feeling like she probably wasn't feeling the best at the moment.

Electa felt it, but wasn't exactly responsive at the moment.

He felt very worried. Worried for her, and the human race.

He did not see how any of this gave him any idea of how he was supposed to be able to stop this.
