I don't like how people call cherubs immune system cells, it's inaccurate. calliope/good aligned cherubs maybe, but what about the other alignment? the ones that destroy everything in their path? they're the same species, so they can't be a VIRUS, but they're very clearly not part of the immune system.

A cheru8 of his alignment is seemingly motiv8ted 8y little other than to conquer and destroy. From a 8ioexistential perspective, they 8ehave somewhat like viruses attacking the system from within. 8ut as with all sym8iotic organisms living within a universe, there are 8alancing factors. While those inha8iting an evil cheru8’s territory will regard it as an unpredicta8le tyrant, those in the territory of a good cheru8 will likely come to view it as a protector, waiting quietly for millenia in deep space, ready to attack any encroaching threat. In that sense, they are not unlike cells in a universal immune system.

The comparison is made because it’s explicitly mentioned by Aranea.
