Uneasy at what he is being asked to do and the speed of which he is being asked to do it, Blake amplifies his fears when he tells his shocked successor that Toyama will also need to overrule the request for cremation in his will to construct a tomb for his corpse to be displayed as a shining light to ComStar Order in the years hence. Though Toyama expresses dismay at the seemingly insane direction of the conversation, Blake nevertheless presses on as he also needs to discuss other equally unbelievable things such as the [[Ruins of Gabriel|Gabriel base]] and why it took until [[2802]] for ComStar to turn a profit, but again warns his successor again about the dangers of the religious direction they are treading and the need to restrict and control its extent to try and avoid it going out of control.

Shortly after discussing ancient secrets, fishing and listening to [[w:Eric Clapton|some historical musician's]] [[w:Layla|song of spurned love]], an exhausted Blake asks to take a nap from which Toyama eventually realizes he will never awake. Feeling great sadness at the loss of his friend, growing closer in the final chat than they'd been in the preceding forty-three years, Toyama agonizes over his course of action and the enormity of what Blake has asked him to do. Unconvinced that he will be able to maintain the religious charade for long, Toyama regardless steels himself for the tyrannical role required as he focuses instead on how to achieve the individual tasks to bring it to fruition.

Twenty-one years later, Primus of ComStar Conrad Toyama enters the Shrine, emptied by Michelle Dupreas' best ROM agents, allowing him to visit the preserved body of Jerome Blake alone. Though many claim seeing the Blake relic as an uplifting experience, Toyama feels only sorrow for the loss of his mentor and friend, the sight of his embalmed corpse reminding Toyama of that fateful last meeting years before and the dark choices he has had to make since. Toyama speaks to the body of his friend concerning his fear over the path chosen so far, that he had come to realize the hard decisions Blake had warned would be required was not to create the ComStar Order but the present uneasy lull in the fighting since the conclusion of First Succession War, that to reignite the fighting will require much more proactive measures than the relatively minor meddling from before.
