Eclipse sighed heavily. He understood very well where Matthew was coming from, why he made the claims that he did, and why he was so intensely dedicated to his cause. He too had been human once, and it was true... they suffered. But the reasons they suffered wasn't simply due to the lack of concern of pure, immortal and powerful beings, or a god. It was just a whole lot more complicated than that. Eclipse struggled inwardly with what to say to the being before him. Finally, he thought of something. "I am so sorry." He started. He stood up slowly, appearing humble. "I don't know why that happened, but I can understand the desire to take control and see that it never happens ever again. But, if I may... no one can create 'Heaven' here in this universe, because love cannot be forced."

"Heaven cannot be built, but I can do the best I can. Life is composed of compromises, and this is the best I can get." With these words, Eclipse is warped out of the ship, even as Babylon leaves the orbit of the planet. It had already been conquered, and, entering Conceptual Space, it warped to the next area it would conquer. The giant ship was reduced to a mere concept, moving at the speed of thought, a dimension which was a subdimension within the Chaos Realm which Mathew had dubbed Conceptual Space based on the fact that all that existed within it was merely a thought in the mind that comprised the entire universe that was Conceptual Space. The entire dimension, in fact, was contained within the imagination of a fellow called Jeffrey, a hobo in some dark corner of the universe.

Emerging from Conceptual Space, Babylon floated through Physical Space once more in the dimension known as The Base Realm, named so by Mathew for being the starting area for his massive multidimensional empire. It was the same dimension as the one in which he had met Eclipse, as well as placed the first footholds of his empire. However, the scene of order the massive ship sailed into was far further advanced than any scene the overlord had yet conquered. The Clone Empire instantly lit up with communications arrays, as Mathew looked out at the sprawling planets. He saw only a bigger obstacle, a greater challenge. Another block to climb over to forge his great and powerful empire.
