We were peaceful.
You arrived in a lightning storm
I, Ag'ri, am a simple man who had two daughters
You, Demon, demanded blood, sacrifice, war, gold and my girls. You had me build steep stepped towers of worship and you had my girls walk them.
You brought knowledge of the stars and the fields, at the cost of my peace
I would say your name as you carry it upon your arm, I would take your power but I cannot speak your words
I can only carve your name here; Space Agency
I will speak my daughter’s names;
Eme

Apologies for any inaccuracies, this is largely Hollywood conjecture.
The power of saying a god's true name is an idea taken from other ancient cultures who lived around the same time but I might be completely wrong about the time travelling astronaut

The acquisition of forbidden knowledge never ends well. Cool drabble, Jim.
