Torrens watched the death throes of the demon from the safe distance of where he had been flung to by the explosion. When he was spontaneously covered in a spiral of fire, he turned around, spotted Emily and gave her a salute in gratitude. It wasn't much energy, but it gave him a small lift after having lost a large portion of his own energy.

As the imps surged out to loot the outpost, Torrens made his way to the Master, along with the rest of the Horde. As seemed to be the trend with the Keeper, no mention was made of the giant demon which only he could have summoned. The question of how to mask this slaughter as being committed by the humans was raised, albeit in a rather offhand manner, and Torrens, after a moment's thought, gave an answer. "The first thing to do would be to get rid of all the insect corpses and replace them with human ones. Make sure they look like soldiers who died in battle." He thought a little more, then added, "Although not too many. Humans tend to bury their dead or something like that."
