just finished reading Protector - so what were the Devas? Much of the supplemental materials avoid saying what they are. Aliens? Martian terraformers? Martians? Uploads?

WELL the Devas, in my mind, are perhaps purposefully hard to pin down, especially given the great cultural remove our iron-age heroes see them from. They're derived from mankind, and we've got a bit of a sly reference to them being recognizable as some sort of mars terraforming device (or adjacent to such machines)...

but they also have the capability to upload human minds to their gestalt...

but they could just as well be grey-goo computer gods, set loose to terraform mars, who have returned to try and give earth a factory reset. (below - some folk art, depicting a certain cannibal cyborg leading a slave revolt against the devas and their polar slave-taking fanboys)

Of course, before "protector" became "protector" (and before we were forced to change the name to "First knife" for frustrating and expensive copyright reasons), the devas arose in a wonky art school project about aliens coming to earth, and retelling earth history with the artifacts. (the following are the components of that project, reformatted for the back-matter of "First Knife")

So long story short, the answer to your question is "yes".

If any of this looks cool, consider finding a copy of First Knife (a book I helped make with @ohotnig @danbensen and Jason Wordie) at your local comic shop or online! IT's a fun, weird book, and one that I am very proud to have been a part of.

There's a world out there, on the edge of human space, where a virus has spread that rots off human skin. They interact with aliens more then humans so there's not much fear of it spreading, but for the people on that world it's like humanity is slowly being eaten away.

Most people can't afford to quarantine or to go off world. It's attached to everything, it's in the water, in the air, in the soil. After a few decades everyone is infected, children born on the planet are born infected, it's just a matter of when it begins to take hold.

People live their lives with their skin slowly rotting away. It just looks like they're pale and sickly at first, but then slowly, useally starting with the fingers, it starts to take them. Due to technology on the planet being sufficiently advanced it is survivable, but the rotted skin must be replaced with an artificial skin, that looks and feels like black rubber. In the early stages it looks like someone is just wearing black rubber gloves, but as time goes on it gets to take up more and more of the body. By the end stages everything is replaced with a shiny black covering, the face has to be replaced with a device that looks like a gas mask as the mouth and eyes are particularly ravaged by the virus. Due to eating being impossible when someone's face is replaced injections must be taken regularly.

People live their lives mourning what they've lost. They'll go to the beach for one last time. Eat their favorite food knowing they won't be able to. They'll ask their loved one's to play with their hair or stroke their skin before it's gone. People will make love for the last time before the virus takes their genitals. They'll look at the things and people they love before their eyes are made lidless and covered in glass. Its made worse by its slowness, everyone counting down the moments, and watching as they lose more and more of their bodies.

But people can cope. They can still live even once the virus has taken everything that it can. People start customizing their artificial skin with paint and stickers. Some people add loose hoods or even wigs to their skins so they won't look bald. They end up picking out masks that they feel suit them the most, changing them sometimes. People live entire lives without skin, when you're like that for long enough it stops being your top priority. You have to live your life nomatter the pain, though once all your skin is gone you end up more numb then you are in pain.

Eventually most of the humans on that planet reproduce through cloning. Sex is mostly out of the picture once you don't have skin, but humanity still needs to exist. It's important to people that humanity survives on this planet in a part of the galaxy where humans are rare. After a few generations people are skinned at birth, as it's seen as less cruel then letting them feel the pain of losing their skin. And when you're in a world where nobody has skin, having skin seems weird and scary. Eventually warriors and nobility from this planet opt for a more metalic and armored artificial skin, further changing how this branch of humanity relates to its condition.

When a fleet of humans from another planet comes to visit that world, hoping for an alliance between fellow humans in a place where humans are rare, they don't even still see eachother as being part of the same species.

For The Good Of Mankind

The old society collapsed but a utopian society rose from the ashes. There are only 3 kinds of people existing: Authorities, Servants and Laborers.

Authorities follow the advice of supercomputers to govern society. Servants serve the authorities and carry out orders from superiors. Laborers obey the orders carried out by servants to work and engage in production. No one will be jobless because everything is calculated by supercomputers.

If everyone abides by the guidance of the super computer, society will maintain harmony, and mankind cannot afford to be destroyed again. Therefore, anyone who violates the rules must be punished immediately without trial, because the super computer is infallible, absolutely just and compassionate.

Workers who violate the rules are often reported to the servants by the people around them, and the servants immediately assign law enforcement robots to arrest the violators and send them to jail. The servants then summarize the situation and report it to the authorities. The authorities will ask the supercomputer for its opinion and impose punishments. If a servant dares not to arrest or report, other servants will arrest him. If a leader makes decisions without asking the super computer, his colleagues will just ask servants to send robots to catch him.

A prisoner is usually sentenced to reform through labor, but if he is already a laborer, this means that he cannot be reformed anymore. The only fate that awaits him is transformation. He will be escorted to the Transformation Factory by law enforcement robots. There he will be stripped off all his clothes, shaved all hairs from head to toe, and put into a transformation capsule. The capsule will release sleeping gas to make him appear half asleep and half awake.

Several tubes were pierced into his skin and the transformation fluid was injected, turning his bones into alloys, his blood into motor oil, his muscles into reinforced fibers, and his skin into invulnerable armor. As for the appearance of his head, it is a perfect oval. His head becomes a small computer that can directly receive messages from the supercomputer but is temporarily authorized to give instructions to some humans. The original eye area has become a small screen that can display current tasks and regulations to the person he is facing.

The process seems painful, but with the help of gas and nanotechnology, he is actually moved by incomparable joy and glory. He will no longer be a problem, will not be a threat to social order, and will not cause mankind to face destruction again. On the contrary, he will absolutely obey and implement all instructions of the super computer, arrest and transform all diehards like the old himself!

What's more important, he no longer has to take responsibility for his actions. Because he is no longer an individual, but a robot, one of many drones. The supercomputer is his Master and will be responsible for making decisions. All he has to do is obey. It's so wonderful to be freed from the shackles of responsibility. It turns out that giving up your sense of self is true freedom!

"Thank you, Master! I swear I will obey you forever." He shouted his loyalty to the supercomputer in infinite pleasure, and then the last trace of humanity disappeared.

The capsules are opened and all new law enforcement robots walk out in unison and line up towards the factory exit. After being assigned by the super computer, they will report to their respective law enforcement units to show all citizens the consequences of disobedience and the benefits of obedience.

Thanks to the supercomputer, the real Master of mankind, the earth has been peaceful for another day.

Finally, please always remember, when you find it difficult to obey the rules but don't want to destroy the peace, the Transformation Factory always welcomes volunteers to contribute to social stability.
