Yes and no.

Yes for the plot / mission structure- you seek out the bad guy, you are faced with an incredible challenge and must overcome it, you destroy the bad guy. There are also some well used references to following the "path of the Sun" or the "path of the Moon" - these have been used for thousands of years by the Masons, and I highly encourage Steve and the writers to tread carefully on that (Angel of Light is Lucifer, and the Prince of Darkness is Satan- as above, so it is below.)

What might not be cliche is in what could be behind the symbology to the story. I took the 'neutral path' at the end of the story due to the fact that the Sun path is not necessarily the "good" path- the Operator stating "I hated it" and "Let her rot" does not exactly imply what they are doing as righteous. Let that bit of information stew a while, because it may sound crazy, but you may want to look into Mystery Religions & Freemasonry to get where I'm going with this.
