05/09/12(Wed)02:09 No.19035897>>19035766 DEAR URIAH ALVIS, DO NOT FRET, MY SON. YOU HAVE LIVED A LIFE OF VIRTUE, A RATHER LONG ONE IN FACT, AS FAR AS THE AVERAGE CITIZEN GOES, AND HAVE DONE MUCH. THE SMALLEST VIRTUOUS ACTS OF EACH CITIZEN CAN HAVE WIDE-REACHING EFFECTS, AND YOURS WERE NO DIFFERENT, FOR YOUR PIETY HAS RESULTED IN THE SALVATION OF MANY AND WILL RESULT IN THE EVENTUAL SUCCESS OF THE CAMPAIGN YOU HAVE ACCOMPANIED, FOR YOU HELD THE LINE AND KEPT UP THE FAITH OF THE REGIMENT, MUCH OF WHICH STILL LIVES.
I WILL SHEPHERD YOU TO SAFETY, AFTER YOU ARE GONE. HAVE NO FEAR, AND DO NOT REGRET, FOR YOU HAVE PLAYED YOUR PART.
CLOSE YOUR EYES, AND FEEL PEACE, MY SON,
THE GOD-EMPEROR OF MANKIND
>>19035790 DEAR SALLY, YOU NEED TO GO, SOON. INDEED, THE BAD MEN DO NOT TAKE BATHS. THAT ISN'T A RESULT OF YOUR HIVE BEING A BIT GRUBBY, LIKE MOST, IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE SERVANTS OF CHAOS.
ARE YOUR PARENTS LIKE THE BAD MEN, SALLY? I... I HOPE THEY AREN'T. IF NOT, YOU NEED TO TAKE THEM WITH YOU. OTHERWISE... YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE. NOT IN PERSON, IN A NOTE. AND THEN YOU NEED TO RUN. THERE WILL BE A FREIGHTER AT THE STARPORT; YOUR WORLD HAS NOT OPENLY REVOLTED AGAINST IMPERIAL RULE YET AND IMPERIAL TRADE STILL RUNS THROUGH THE SECTOR. YOU WILL STOW AWAY, AND YOU WILL LIVE ON THAT SHIP, FOR A TIME. EVENTUALLY, AFTER MUCH VOYAGING, IT WILL ARRIVE AT HOLY TERRA ITSELF. I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW MANY YEARS IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO SEE IT, BUT I PROMISE, YOU WILL.
YOU WILL FIND PURPOSE AMONGST THE STARS, AND EVENTUALLY, ON HOLY TERRA. DO NOT WORRY, FOR I WATCH OVER YOU.
GO SWIFTLY AND IN GOOD FAITH,
THE GOD-EMPEROR OF MANKIND
P.S YOU SHOULD GRAB SOME COOKIES WHEN YOU PACK FOOD FOR THE TRIP THROUGH THE HIVE. IT'S OKAY THIS TIME, YOU'LL NEED THAT LITTLE BOOST. |
