Following the destruction of the PDCL and associated ships, the Angel of Death is promptly buried under many tons of hate mail from numerous Schlock fans for killing off their favorite characters. The furor draws the attention of Howard Taylor, Malevolent God of the Schlockiverse. Being a god, he is of course completely immune to the effects of the stasis and nullification fields and quickly sets about correcting the situation. With a quick retcon, it turns out the fleet that just got destroyed was merely a gate-cloned copy of the original. The original fleet is now seen entering the system at a substantial fraction of the speed of light. He then ensures that the stasis field also prevents the calling up of more divine or hellish forces (ignoring the inadequate attempt of the nullification field to destroy a god) and sits back to watch from outside the universe.
