CADMUS' separation and attack on AURANOS

"'The explosion, I guess. Well, it wasn't me, per se.' -Watkins, while detained by the Celestial Order"

Summary
Following 2573's taking in of the Second Point, CADMUS' predator instincts were re-awoken by an unrelated revelation.

CADMUS' brief rampage through the corridors of AURANOS-1 resulted in the base being put on high alert, with CADMUS instead deciding to escape onto the surface of the moon by tunneling through the floor. Upon reaching the surface, he spotted an abandoned base, with an apparently still-intact nuclear reactor.

CADMUS, in an attempt to possibly drain the power of the reactor, damaged it to the point of meltdown, causing a massive nuclear blast, which decimated both the structure and population of AURANOS. Around 200 members of the Celestial Order were killed in the blast.

As a result of the influx of energy, CADMUS and Watkins physically separated from one another, although Watkins was imparted with horror-like traits, allowing him to survive the vacuum of space. Watkins arrived where 2573, Umbra, and The Red Right Hand had fought and lost to the Mechanic of Flesh, only to be detained by the cosmic order for his perceived crimes.
