Suppose somebody starts going around blabbing the truth to as many humans as will listen, who you gonna call to terminate and cleanup?

Not Litheroy, that's for sure. <g>

I suspect I'd call in a Dominican Triad with a Malakite for the "terminate" part. They're used to enforcing the rules (and I recall that "don't tell the humans" is one of the rules), they're used to working together, and the blackwing (and possibly the other two as well) can kick Forces and take names.

As for "cleanup", call in a few Eliites. They'd certainly be creative with their solution...

How many people will listen? I hear people spouting similar stuff on streetcorners every day, and no one pays them any mind, AFAICT.

It only takes one, and then there's trouble...

Actually, I'm willing to bet that "cleanup" will be handled by an angel or angels of Destiny -- they're used to working subtly. They also have access to that wonderful Forgetful Whispers attunement (in Superiors 3), so that when the job is done and it's time to leave, they can just whisper in someone's ear "I was never here" and make it so.

If a more forecful reminder is needed .... yeah, then it's probably time for the Triad in Black.

Khalid would provide firepower, Yves would provide memory-wiping, and Dominic would provide a recruiter …*because sometimes those bystanders turn out to be able to keep their cool and help out, and someone needs to be able to do background checks.

What are you talking about?

It's Belseraphs in Black. The Demons are more then happy to keep angelic stuff quiet. After all, they already have a PR problem with Hell's message. It's much worse if people actually believe in angels.

I'm with JCD on this one.

Hell has a lot more to lose than Heaven if your average human were to have proof of both sides' existence.

At least, until Nybbas and Beleth get a chance to spin it ...

Note that only disfavored are really in a position to do this and the last thing this group wants is to leave a clear trail to them that both sides can easily follow.

Instead they've got to garble the truth sufficiently for plausible deniability.
