Lucifer was an audio play written by, and starring, Trevor Spencer, released by BBV Productions. It was the first release of a new series, Hellscape.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
After training with Faction Paradox, Lucifer and his timeship Babylon are going out on their own for a bit, exploring the universe, and they want to check out Earth. When they get there, they land in a small upcoming community… called Eden.
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
"Lucifer," a winged psychic photosynthetic Venusian biped, introduces himself to those listening with a lengthy monologue, interspersed with dialogue from the snarky timeship Babylon. An exposition dump reveals that Lucifer lived in a family with widespread political ties. Despite this, Lucifer tried to murder his father after losing his position in the family hierarchy. After his attempt at patricidal assassination, he was cornered, but managed to escape.
In an unspecified location, Lucifer met members of Faction Paradox, who recruited him for undisclosed "scientific" purposes. He was taken to the Eleven-Day Empire. The Faction had gone back on their stated reasons for severance. No longer including the lesser species', they only occasionally allowed non-Homeworlders to join. Babylon suggests that of the few reasons Lucifer was initiated were his supposed immortality and excessive physical strength, which Lucifer corrects with mild irritation.
The Faction have now seemingly become a repository for all information in the Spiral Politic. This new goal of the Faction intrigued Lucifer, who mentioned a research project on the biblical Lucifer. Also included in the research project was one Brother Signet. Once finished with research, he settled on Lucifer as his new name, to garner power and fear from others. After being teamed up for many missions, one of which included a planet eating something unseemly, Lucifer was entrusted to go on his own personal missions, gifted Babylon to use for transport.
Despite the Empire being taken from a sliver of Earth history, Lucifer claims to have never been to any area of it. For this reason, as well as the relative similarity between flora and fauna on Earth and Venus, he wished to visit it as his first solo excursion. Choosing a date and time at random, he found himself in Eden, a "weird place" with lakes, trees, and a small gathering of humans. Among them are Adam, Eve, and her older sister Lilith.
Ignoring the tales of villagers being eaten, Lucifer focused on the three's garments fashioned from leaves. This, he assumed, was due to the humans attempting to seduce him. Lucifer admits he hadn't been able to have sexual encounters for an extended amount of time, though he did try with Babylon, his unwilling servant. Lucifer explains what happened next:
Despite Lilith and Eve being siblings, they were all engaging in "carnal fun" with each other. Through this, Lucifer was able to see that in-fighting had broken out. Adam was turning a blind eye to Lilith, who he had "bonded" with, instead focusing his attention on the young Eve.
