ea has to track down, confront,
|
|
and sometimes fight and destroy, an infinite variety of
intruders.
Some of them are funny, others nasty and spiteful like the poltergeists;
and some are harmless, a bit of a hindrance. Still others |
|
 |
|
are helpless and
desperate, fleeing from a horrible reality, while yet others are sometimes
evil, dangerous, and don't want to know about going back to their own dimension,
and so Gea is
forced to destroy them. In order to do this she needs Cagliostro, who lets her
know, by the appearance of the white star on his head, when there are new
intruders and takes her to them. Then she tackles them with the
strong di
powerful blade hidden inside her bass guitar which the
Supernior Ones gave her at the start of her mission.
And last of all we have the 'real' enemies, the real baddies! Devils have always
been the enemies of human beings. Present in the history of humankind since time immemorial,
every culture past and present has identified them as enemy 'number one'.
The myth of Eden, Paradise lost because of the Devil's evil work, is none other
than the transposition of the old struggle between our two races. The culture of
civilisations which have succeeded one another during Man's long evolution has
always symbolised this alien race by metaphysical, transcendent force and has
allegorically identified its source continuum as the dimension of Evil -
the sitra achra , the Other Part, the dark region originally of terror and Evil,
the stone pit which shuts out any light. The religious myth of Lucifer's falling
into hell at the hands of the archangel Michael symbolically narrates the Great
War between the 'Enemy Race' and a few human beings, supported and led by the
Supernior Ones - the Archangels in the Hebrew, Christian and
Muslim religious tradition - indefinable entities, belonging to who knows what
plane of existence, maybe 'transdimensional' beings, whose cognitive sphere
embraces the Whole.
In their caste's hermetic language, these human warriors are called the Bulwarks. |
The Enemy Race has some «bridgeheads» on the Earth.
They're «vampires», individuals that invade our continuum and camouflage themselves
among humans, trying to become more powerful and make converts who will later help
them to plan for the arrival of reinforcements and the consequent mass invasion.
Leading this occult host is the Mysterious Triad: Lilu, Lilitu and Ardut-lili,
not their real names but which indicate both their military ranks and racial
typology.
One of these "bridgeheads" lives in Gea's city: the
Diva, a successful designer, an ambiguous, androgynous character who hides his/her alien
nature by becoming part of the world of high fashion.
Gea's Diva is an Ardat-lili, who works secretly, plotting and planning.
Occasionally s/he's joined by followers who s/he uses as body guards and thugs.
S/he's a cruel being who feeds on human blood, or,
otherwise stated, could live
|
 |
only on potatoes but prefers raw flesh!
The Mysterious Triad meets up once a year in different places to assess their
progress. If one of them fails repeatedly, the other two Triad members have the
power to sack the failing one.

Diddly is a Secret Service agent, belonging to a state organization somewhere between
the CIA and the FBI. He's the head of an unacknowledged, ill-treated 'Alien
Contacts' section, a sort of poor relation of the X-files, of which he's the sole
founder member. He's Gea's "unwitting" enemy in that he's convinced that 'aliens
are walking amongst us', but although he's right he sticks to the old idea of
invaders coming out of space on flying saucers. His path often intersects with
Gea's, but all his efforts to try to prove his own theories are immediately
thwarted. |
