One: You do not have room for all the prisoners. While making a captains court is possible with your space, after freeing several slaves your only effective interrogators are going to be working around the clock, and time is not a luxury you can afford. While you have two(!) brothers aboard your ship, potentially making ship operations easier that still aint gonna do it. There is going to have to either be a reckoning or basically what your da would call a 'Stoat Court' which is basically just a miscarriage of justice by other means. At least with a Captains Court there is some element of justice.

Two: Lancer- has finally figured out who he feels he wants to be the second(!) knight pilot on your ship. The problem is he wants not only your blessing but you to be present for the final part in case anything goes wrong. He says it could be pushed back until the ship is underway, however it may not be the wisest decision due to him 'never having known of a single ceremony or tradition much less a knight ascension right to the throne being done whilst under the protection of a Gellar Field' and isn't sure of how it would turn out. Which leaves you options that you have to calculate.

Three: UR-479, AKA "Pygmallius Techtinius Arturos" your AI friend, resident goat herder and valued opinion wishes to confide in you what they experienced in the throne mechanicum as they guided you- which they didn't have time to until now. What you experience was stranger than any Vision Squid or Spirit Leaf induced vision, even more so since UR an actual AI, experienced something too. UR is very professional and good at handling many different situations- so concern is from them is something that should be addressed, but the timing is troublesome.

Four: Deliah, one of your most trusted Honor Guards, almost used a rite knife on a Drukharii in a raid- an act which is very significant. Furthermore she has acted strange around Perturabo since he has been on board. Normally not a problem, however since she has JUST recovered from injuries, sickness and being possessed- it may be important to look into this.

Five: Perturabo, whom is clearly a kindred spirit and 100% your brother due to interests, in the past 10 minutes of you letting him look at the Fabricator while you have a brief talk with Gella, has manufactured his own armor, own weapons and has potentially exhausted supply of a rare and crucial element in your supplies. You are not sure if you can get more from salvaging this asteroid field and that would be a scan, something of which you would have to do aside from raiding the asteroid.

Six: SPEAKING OF ASTEROIDS, Titus wants to attempt to verify certain things, open up certain communications and perform certain things on one of the asteroids which you plan to capture and raid. The problem is that this, will almost certainly announce that you are here, and make this a major race against time. Titus, has been especially helpful and this raid would have not been possible without his help.

SEVEN: The last issue. Gella while capturing fighters and the rest of the ships doing her duty, with her assistant Boots in her lap, noticed some stranger than normal asteroids and some very odd behavior from some of the ones in the distance. Namely- that she feels like some of them are intentionally moving in certain behaviors as if they were being controlled. While powered asteroids seems like nothing out of the ordinary (at least after all you have been through) she specifically states, at least from her studies and looking at the data on board and talking to others whom have space travelled, that these were not behaving like that.

Seven issues, seven spirits, seven headaches. You are just lucky that Erhapti is here to cheer you up.

These issues have to be resolved- quickly. You have a small window of time before you need to head towards Olympia.

In what order do you wish to Address them?

>> Issue One: Prisoners/Intelligence Gathering

>> Issue Two: Lancers knight selection

>> Issue Three: UR's "Vision"

>> Issue Four: Deliah's behavior

>> Issue Five: Perturabo and his reasonable zeal in use of the fabricator

>> Issue Six: Titus wanting to use one of the Asteroids for a broadcast
>>> Issue Seven: Gella's weird acting asteroids

>>5146909
>> Issue Five: Perturabo and his reasonable zeal in use of the fabricator
Tell Pert to stop, we can do more when we get to Olympia and loot from the black judges. Also we need some rare materials for Martin, can't have Pert use them without him knowing.
>> Issue Seven: Gella's weird acting asteroids
Fucking Orks going to slam into us unprepared
>> Issue One: Prisoners/Intelligence Gathering
Make the court as quick as possible
>> Issue Two: Lancers knight selection
We have to start making the knight soon
>> Issue Three: UR's "Vision"
>> Issue Four: Deliah's behavior
>> Issue Six: Titus wanting to use one of the Asteroids for a broadcast
If it's going to make this a race against time, than it goes last

Depending on how this goes, as I am well aware ranked choice doesn't always go so well- I may do just first pick- so please if you are unsure, do at least a first pick.

Forget this vote, forget I already voted

"Perturabo, brudda.. that is some impressive armor." You say looking at what has to be the best looking armor you have ever seen in your entire life.

"It is, especially compared to what I am used to. I integrated weapons and then I saw this interesting gauntlent pattern that you had" and he is clearly referencing the the upsized 'mako' pattern gloves that only Tybro and Rawhiri really seem fond of as he has made them appropriate size for him, and it seems he has added an adriathic fusion cell. All in all, it is some pretty impressive armor and you honestly wish you had thought of making some for yourself. Perturabo, doesn't seem as impressed as you, he seems more focused elsewhere.

"Look, Perturabo, while I have just met you- you are my brother. It is important to me. I want to make sure my family is happy, and that everyone is doing what they need to and what they want to be doing." And he stops. Then turns to you with a strange look of contemplation.

"What are you implying?" He asks with a raised eyebrow- and you can tell if you couldn't before, that he is extremely analytical. But you realize what he might be thinking- and you need to address it.

"Mate there are a few things to go over. You don't have to impress anyone! The armor, the weapons those are beautiful, best work I have ever seen!" And he seems a bit touched by this.

"But if it's not what you don't want to do- you don't have to. Yeah we are undermanned, and spirits their is a lot of work to be done, I haven't rested well since I took charge of this ship because I have been busy fixing er up and helping build out-- but while everyone here who is part of the crew carries their weight and earns their keep you are a guest. You don't have to work unless we need ya to and I don't want you to do anything you don't want to." You say and he looks and blinks.

"You are saying, that if I don't wish to go out and board the asteroids, I do not have to." He asks

"Naw mate. Some of the best on here don't go on raids and stay on the ship. The last time Jerah did a raid we were on my planet. What do you want to do Perturabo?" You ask him.

"Nobody has asked me that." He says

"What?"

_

>>5149532
"I landed in Olympia, not to long ago. I scaled the gates of the Tyrants tower, and he made me create a sword as punishment. So I made a sword. It was how a sword should be- and he claimed it was the best weapon he had ever seen, and adopted me as his son. Ever since then he has been, driving me towards war. He, I will admit begrudgingly, that he tries to be a good adoptive father. Yet he has not asked me if I enjoy martial conflict. If my goal is to see the world conquered by war. I just saw a war machine that the first thing I thought of was how I could improve it- not that before my eyes was a several meter tall engine of destruction! " He steps out of the, now clearly obviously, powered armor as the suit opens up to him- and it looks very similar to UR's armor design.

"I'd never thought anyone would ask me. Honestly I'd just like to build maybe some facilities on this vessel, maybe upgrade certain things that I saw. I get tired of doing nothing but fighting and conflict. I went to take that starship to free anyone unlucky soul inside and to maybe make a future for my people where we wouldn't have war." He says in an exhausted tone that saddens you.

"Mate- there is an open position of chief warrant officer of construction. It's yours if you want it." You say mentioning the open position more off handedly and yet Perturabo looks absolutely excited about it. He looks honestly more excited than you facing a big wave. Maybe because you haven't seen a big wave lately. All this is starting to really put home in perspective.

"I will be happy to- however, I have caused you a shortfall of material. When I realized it, I also realized that this suit could be utilized to reclaim some raw material..." And angron pulls up a map from one of the many data slates that are scattered about

"Here. I think this is a material depot and has all the elements needed to put your ship at 100% restocked judging by the asteroids build." Perturabo says, and you are actually pretty impressed by the fact that he was planning to make you right and add a mokka. Which is impressive. For a second you thought he may have been acting like a rubbish man.

--

>>5149533
"If you would permit it, I would be able to get raw material from the asteroid and utilize your pre-existing arrays to obtain it." Perturabo asks.

"You are the chief warrant officer in charge of construction. Acquiring raw materials and figuring out how to do that, though just be sure to ask Jerah or I permission if you think the activity may have any conflict with ship operations first. Like running out of certain raw materials or borrowing a ship, or altering course. Stuff like that." You say and Perturabo nods appreciatively and begins doing some mapping calculations.

You are glad that went well. However, you know what is next is going to be a bit more unusual, so you go to the nearby bay Where Gella is looking over footage

"Alright Gella, show me these weird asteroids..." You say and she simply shows you a holo clip. And by every known law of physics, unless those asteroids are powered, have a mind of their own, or are being controlled shouldn't be moving like that.

What's worse, they have been acting more after the battle has calmed down, almost as if they are trying to be sneaky...

"What should we do cap?"

>> Take a small team and investigate the biggest one of the weird moving asteroids.

Did the old man send over the schemetics for the tractor beam, and did we install it? Because we could use it to hold the asteroids in place.

Considering the population size and need for people, islander culture will most likely remain on the islands if we import bodies, but some things that transcend it will probably leave their mark.
Like this moka. Codified bribery. Seriously such a thing will be helpful in dealing with the wider imperium. Hell, might even get our legion to integrate worlds easier, especially if they are running ahead. Just fucking buy off world's to act as staging grounds and supply depots.

"Jerah ya still up on main deck?" You ask.

"Ya mate whats up?"

" Have Yana use the tractor beam on the weird asteroids Gella pointed out earlier, I'll send em up to ya. Then can ya scan em and see what's on em?" You ask

"Ya mate, that's gonna take a bit of time though." Jerah says.

"If there is anything wrong with them, we will just blow em up or if it's small enough we'll send a boarding team. But for now, we hold em. Let me know when you get a good fix ya?"

"Of course cap." And you put the com to your side and Perturabo has already come up to you which has caused Gella to leap a small distance into the air due to the fact that he was actually very adept at sneaking up. It was quite brilliant.

"Brother, if I may- if you hold those asteroids, I would like to gather them for resources using the available array if feasible when the time comes." He says and you nod. Then on to the next, and probably most difficult issue. The ship to the now being used prison wing is packed and Frank, who is a bit bloodied and aggressively debating with Titus about something looks to you and smiles the same way a shark does to a small tasty looking fish. This action causes Perturabo to look curiously and appraise frank with a quick action.

"Brother is this some sort of grifter that works for you?" He asks.

"AH CAPTAIN! I WAS JUST GONNA" and you put up a finger before he can finish.

"Frank, if it's about this mess- don't sugar coat it. Just tell me."

>>5150755
"Well-- some of these people are from Olympia, some are former prisoners, some of these black judges are actin really weird. The Ganth, are obviously ganth types, but if we want to gain any intelligence we are gonna need these people here for weeks. Honestly the only way we can get any actionable intelligence from this, is if we store half of them and put em one of the ships we just captured but we would have to somehow make it so the ship can't be stolen or it doesn't do anything." Frank says and you look to Perturabo

"Do you think that could be arranged?" You ask Perturabo and he nods.

"It would be trivial brother." Perturabo seems to enjoy saying that.

"We'll get on that. But what about these that are definitely guilty? There seem to be about 100 between black judges, ganth and the three drukharii that were captured, including the one Deliah says she personally wants to kill herself." Frank says.

"That is a bit unnerving." You let slip and Frank gives an odd look.

"Look, captain it's your call. Some of them, I think it would just be easier to space em, because I think these black judges , emm, yeah. They aint talkin. Ganth, are easy to interrogate depending on where they are in the social hierarchy. But that aint what you about. You want justice not a Stoat Court. So I have done some digging, and have figured out something that could very easily work in both doling out justice in a quick efficient manner, and it could save us time without costing you yours." Frank says then Titus looks over to you then raises a finger.

"But it means using a type of psykana tech that- I am sorry, I still can't get over the fact that you have found another brother primarch. That is something that we will have to go over after this, and that I want to talk about on-" You look at him and he sighs.

"Psykana tech is something that is almost always bad. The fact that Frank has it makes me question a bit about the man." Titus says and Frank grins like a stoat that caught a shark. Titus is, an interesting character so maybe it's best to hear it out.

"Why?" you ask

"Your father, his father." And when Titus says that Perturabo looks incredibly surprised and his eyes widen.

"The Emperor of Mankind, specifically banned their use inside the imperium of man for the atrocities they were used for, Kolinaisi you run an unorthodox operation that would make a rogue trader blush at times- but even they avoid psykana tech. Whatever it is that Frank is offering, there is always a catch to psykana." Titus says and you look over at Frank

"Is it gonna tear a hole in the fierce?" You ask

"No" Frank says firmly

"Is it going to summon beasties?" You ask

"Oh definitely not."

"Is it something that the Ganth, Drukharii, or black judges use?" You ask

"No. It's a Rangda Neural Crucible." Frank says and Titus vomits and Nazca has to prop him up.

>>5150757
"Ok, Frank, I don't know what the Rangda are- but that reaction right there is not a good one." You point out to him, because seeing a man just vomit at the mention of a device is something to worry about.

"The Rangda are the only race the Emperor has been stalling out against. They are humanities greatest threat that we know of, their dark technology, their insidious brutal nature, their slough overlords- everything about them is wrong." Titus says

"And So are the Ganth, the Drukharii and the Black Judges. Merely asshole tech being used on assholes." Frank says.

"What about the cost on the wielder? The Psyker that needs to wield it?" Titus says and Frank scoffs

"We got 4 plus your two, plus maybe one or two psyker individuals that may be willing to help" Frank says and you raise an eyebrow

"Plus one or two psyker individuals? Who are they?" You ask and Frank looks around briefly.

"Let's just say that some people are not so sure if it's good that they have it." Frank states, and you hope that doesn't mean that he is secretly a psyker.

"What if I use it?" You ask

"Well you are weird with the technology, I guess you could use it." Frank says and Titus makes an exhasperated noise

"AND IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER, HAVE YOU TOLD HIM WHAT THOSE THINGS DO?" Titus shouts

"It will deal out justice. If they are innocent we'll know. Do you even know what this does? Or does the word 'Rangda' scare you that much Titus? You know what scares me? Dying a slave. Dying in bondage. To me that is worse than the Rangda, and don't act like I haven't seen that boogieman before. If we go after the slavers I will not have to worry about dying a slave. " Frank says tersely.

"I don't know what it does. I'd rather know what it would do before we use-" And before you can finish your sentence Perturabo takes the object from Franks hand and examines it and then tosses it back to Frank.

"It seems a bit, eccentric. A device that maps a beings entire brain and subjects it to all of it's fears, failings and pains and brings it to the surface every time a person lies. There surely has to be an easier way to do this." Perturabo says looking to you.

"See is that so bad Titus? It doesn't seem like that-"
-

>>5150758

"Though the pain setting seems like it is adjusted to a level that would probably cause permanent mental damage to the person the crucible is used on, and the connection wrought by the crucible would most certainly cause the interrogator using it to experience some of the memories of the being it's used on." Perturabo says and you chomp your teeth like a shark wondering what is the right move here.

__
>> Proper courts. Have those that are clearly innocent moved to one ship, those questionably so another, and then hold courts immediately for the clearly guilty. Hold it near the air lock so it can be done quicker.

>> If Frank can find a volunteer to use this Rangda Neural Crucible, let them do the interrogations- but only if they acknowledge and recognize the risk.

>> For the clearly guilty, let them be killed, right now. Kill off the Drukharii, kill off the Ganth mongers and the warrior judges. Then get to work on determining innocence through courts, once you are on the way back to olympia.

>> These beings, committed crimes against Olympia. It would only be fair that either Perturabo or the Olympian people judged their actions.

>> Assign someone to work the crucible you know is strong enough for the job, if there is nobody, test the tech yourself. If it is as bad as Titus says, do not use it. If it isn't, use it.

>> Write in

>>5150759
>>> Proper courts. Have those that are clearly innocent moved to one ship, those questionably so another, and then hold courts immediately for the clearly guilty. Hold it near the air lock so it can be done quicker.

We have to set the example here. Take the time and do things the right way. We are a big man after all.

In regards to the Perty option i'm all for the proper courts option, I just want to see if this will give us an insight into Olympia justice. Way you're describing Perty so far I don't think he'll really mind where they get dealt with.

Also no touchy rangdan tech, I don't want anyone getting mental herpes.

Do a proper court, but be sure to include the Olympians and Perturabo's opinions. Maybe have them choose a representative to be part of the court, so it doesn't become a stoat court by being drown out in shouting.

>>5150790
I rarely do this, but with the outpouring response so quickly, and there being quite a bit in this chapter- this quick movement and momentum I will abide.

You briefly grasp the tiny device and look at it. You can already tell from the machine spirit that something is very wrong with it.

"No." You say and you toss the device. Titus looks at you in awe, but to be honest- Nazca looks like he has seen better days.

"We hold proper courts. Frank, Titus take the innocent to the other ships. Nazca, bring out the Guilty." You say and Nazca nods.

"Brother, you are from Olympia. It is only fair that you being from their hold court against them with me. You are the only one who can stand fit to tell me what they did wrong to your planet and your people. They will be tried and given the swiftest justice you have ever seen." You say

"That may be, just remember that the black judges wear void armor. Spacing them won't work." He tells you and you pull out your daggers, which you have been itching to try since you modified them just a tiny bit.

Nazca comes out with a small cadre of villainous looking figures that he quickly gets to kneel with the push of the button. And you shake your head.

"They stand. They should be able to know the justice they face standing. Not on their knees." And Nazca gives you a surprised look, but nods.

"Perturabo of Olympia. My Brother, who among these men have you seen commit murder, rape, torture or any other crime you would say is beyond redemption?" You ask and Perturabo points to one in particular. You walk up to the individual.

"Why do you trust his word?" The being asks

"Nobody in my family lies, or they can't lie that well. He also has a- what's it called?" You ask Perturabo

"An Eidetic Memory." Perturabo says slightly bemused.

"What is he standing accused of?"

"Torture, rape and murder." Perturabo says

"Oh, you really done pissed me off mate, two of those are my least favorite things. You are charged with some really bad things. How do you plead?" You ask

"No contest." He says.

"Oh we got a smart man! So you do not admit guilt, but do admit to the actions. Well, since you show know regret in it, know that the man who is trying you shows no regret in administering your punishment. But with your honesty, I will permit you the choice. The dagger or the locker." You say

"Dagger like a soldier." The man says and you give him a soldiers death. The process is actually shockingly quick, seeing as everyone here save the three drukharii were on Olympia.

>>5150815

"I cannot accuse them. I haven't seen them do anything." Perturabo states, then the tall and decrepit looking Drukharii grins and bends over

"If there were no witnesses then we are free." He says and before you can say a thing a bolt shot clips his ear.

"Oh, I remember." You hear Deliah say in the most haunting voice you have ever heard as she gently brushes past Perturabo, who looks about as confused as you. But the Drukharii, his face is quite certain.

"Kolinaisi Kaiko Wahthiri, by the accord of the ship contract, by all laws of justice on De'lormosa, I demand satisfaction to be given to me in administering the rights of justice upon these beings" She says, and you see- to your sudden horror, that she is in fact about ready to hold the rite knife.

"There is no way I can by law or by right deny you satisfaction and justice to be administered." You say but you grab her by the arm and she looks at you, with tears in her eyes.

"But Deliah, please, Roboute held that rite knife last. Do you know how much pain that is? Do you think you can carry it?" You say

"I can carry it long enough." Deliah says moving the knife with her mind and not touching it and quickly moves over to the Drukharii leader. Whew. You thought for a second that she was actually going to; then she grips the blade lets out a scream and plunges it into the skull of the Drukharii.

You can hear Deliah's scream in your brain. You can feel the strong pain as you fall almost fall to the floor. Nazca is on the ground. All the Drukharii are dead and Deliah is on the ground. You run over to her.

"Girl why do you have to be so stupid." You say picking her up, and you can already tell that she is barely alive and congnizant. She had to have had cheated the pain somehow through some sort of psykik dispersal otherwise she would have been dead just from what you were told about how much Roboute felt.

"Peter." Deliah says looking at Perturabo which causes him some confusion, but he instantly understands your facial expression. And he comes over, and he does the most human thing you have ever seen. He carefully and gently grabs her palm and with a single finger touches her face. And with that she loses consciousness.

"We got to get her to the hospital room, grab Nazca please." You say and Perturabo nods and grabs him.

>>5150817
The pair of you run down there and spot Gella

"Oh shit. She actually did it." Gella says with quite the concerned look, but stunned nonetheless.

"HELP NAZCA." You say loudly and she gets to work with various tools that look recently fabricated. You take the scanner. Deliahs life signs are weak, and could move to critical stages, if you do not act fast.

"Jerah, I am doin some surgeon work mate- you are acting captain." You say

"Aye Cap" he says and you now have to start treatment.

__

Pick as many treatment options as you think may work. HOWEVER- The wrong treatments will have consequences.

>> Pure Oxygen and IV. It's the only thing that helps with your insane headache when you have it- and you know for a fact that is probably at least close to what she experienced

>> Pain Killers. She may still have echoes and phantom pain from what she just experienced, and that needs to stop.

>> Check her heart. See if there is any inflammation or if she had a heart attack due to what she endured.

>> Treat her for shock, make sure her body doesn't fail on her.

>> Electro Nerve Manipulation. Using the bodies mana, and manipulation of the electricity you may be able to help fix the nerve endings.

>> Numbing Agents. Just a few, to maybe help with it.

Can we use the electro nerve to maybe also help take away the pain? Also chat to her about Peter if she's aware

All I can find on people passing out due to pain is to ensure oxygen, regulate the blood flow, and in the long term give serotonin to balance the nervous system.

Because numbing agents or paikiller are snri, not ssri. So we will have to do the manual way and get the nerves to regulate the chemicals.

If you are the medical bro from the other thread, congrats you have once again saved the surgery and made this go a lot easier. Thus unlocking a neat easter egg that wouldn't have normally happened..

"Magnus. Are you sure? This is something that is very difficult to do and be certain of."

"Father, I am. This power can only be one of my brothers, and it's not one that we have found yet, I can see him through the realm of souls and the warp. He is a bright ball of energy, like a contained storm, I can focus on him and I can maybe see him, even talk to him if I focus hard enough. With your help we may be able to have the briefest of conversations with how far away he is."

"We shall do this. After if you wish to stay for the meeting with the other legion masters that came to bare I would be pleased for your imput."

"I would be father."

__
You hook her up to your own pure ox tank, which you haven't had to use in a long time since the Jokaero fixed the artificial third eye. You then administer an IV Drip and she already seems to be a bit responsive to this.

"Easy Deliah." You say and you consider asking her about 'Peter' but you don't want to confuse her since she still is a risk of shock. So you hook up the porta band scanner and check her heart. It wraps around the table and takes a few pictures and does a few things quick, and Perturabo looks at you concerningly, then as if something has dawned upon him, he begins to assist you- and he is actually really good. At least at the tech stuff.

You begin to listen to Deliah's heart, and it is regular, Deliah is tough as iron that's for sure. Looking at the imagery you see she does have some heart issues stemming from various dietary issues associated with being on a void ship- but to be fair that is everyone on the fierce including you. So the heart is fine.

The chance she is in shock however, with how her pupils look and how she is responding is not- she needs your direct intervention. You would have given her numbing agents or pain killers- but those are SNRIs and SSRIs are not good to psykers from what you have seen, so you are going to have to use your skills with mana and electricity to adjust her nerve endings. Probably the most absurd thing you have done before and your not sure you can even do it; but Deliah, and the rest of your honor guard, they are family. As much family as Your Da and Ma, Uncle Kai, Arona, Yana, Angron, Roboute, or now Perturabo.

You look at Perturabo.

"Bruddah, this is going to be the stupidest thing I have done in a long time." You say and Gella immediatley gives you the death glare

"What?" Perturabo asks

"I am going to hook multiple electroshock endings on me of high voltage and direct the current through her body- attempting to manipulate the nerve endings and their function using my strange and unique talent of not being hurt by electricity."

"That is quite the gift"

"It is. but-"

"Perturabo, whenever he does this things get weird. He starts glowing all spooky and sometimes he loses track of time. You keep an eye on him. Cap- Im runnin baseline scans on Nazca, he has a lot of fucking cancer and crazy shit. When your done with Deliah I am gonna swap beds and start administerin every fucking thing we got- and with your permission- the exotic metals, but only enough that there is still plenty for the old man." Gella says with a brave look in her eyes and you nod. You grab the devices to give you the current you need and you see your tattoos start to glow. You begin to take direct control of the electricity and feel and scan Deliah's nervous system. It is a mess. Years of pain and suffering with nerve endings that are twisted. Using the electricity, and the current procedures you are inducing, she will be healed. If you do everything right. This much electricity, is taxing to control, manipulating the ends of nerves, and trying to make sure it's not painful, by utilizing and controlling the very mana of a person. You are not sure if this is in any of the good medical text books that you have been given. You go up her body, and there is a slight disruptive electric field that sort of flows outward, it looks oddly beautiful. Ya ma would love it. You go up the body slowly, and you correct the nerves that were effected, which is most of them, group by group. You don't really know how long it takes, but you can sense Perturabo and Gella doing things around you, and them shooing people off. In the corner of your eye and occasionally in your main view, you see someone.

It isn't Gella

It isn't Perturabo

It isn't anyone you have met.

They look really familiar, kind of. They are tall, taller than you. They stand nobly but observing every second, then occasionally looking at Perturabo, then at you. Their red hair and red skin, is fairly odd, but they seem intent on watching you work. You would say something, but you can't. You are saving Deliah from pain that would have killed her. The being disappears briefly. Only to return with a being that looks, like the man in the holo vid. It is- the man in the holo vid. It's your creator. It's unnervingly distracting. Deliah's life is on the line, and you are damn sure your creator- your father- this Emperor is watching you perform the most complex surgery you have yet to perform. Worse, he knows, you know. So he is moving his lips, and noise seems garbled. You are near completion, and he looks frustrated, because he clearly is trying to communicate something, you know, that maybe, you have time to look up, and say one thing to him and still operate on Deliah.

You look up and move your lips.

What were the first things Kolinaisi said to the Emperor of Mankind in his vision while he was healing Deliah?


>> We will meet again, I promise. I am sorry that this is all the time I have. Tell my brothers I love em too.

>> I am sorry I haven't found you yet, I am trying to liberate many people, I hope you understand.

>> Father, I am from this star system at these coordinates

>> I love ya father, I am sorry we doin this while I'm doin surgery, we will do this again soon.

>> Tell the rest of the family, we will all have a celebration when we get together.

>> I know we haven't met, but know that your sons care about ya and will find you.

>> Mystery Box

>> Write in

Also, the mystery box here does not go towards the total of mystery boxes in the thread.

You still have a guaranteed mystery box besides this one.

>>5151479
>> I know we haven't met, but know that your sons care about ya and will find you.

>> Mystery Box

We are in a precarious situation so i vote we do our best in this situation and focus ok our two patients, we can always meet him some other time and we got alot on our plate as is so I'm not shure adding "contiplatimg some words of wisdom directly from your father" to that plate and prefer we have a longer conversation at a later date if we can......

Still... can't resist a free mystery box

Also, if anyone wants to recommend an artist to commission for more art- I will take any suggestions.

Though right now finding the art style I like may lead me to doing something I have dreaded.

Asking the waifu with her fine arts skills. I am not fond of being thrown out windows.

>>5151479
>> Tell the rest of the family, we will all have a celebration when we get together.
And that celebration includes mon, dad, uncle, cousin, our soon to be husband to our uncle, our sister, the old man and Erihapti

"We talk about the first official meeting of the Emperor and Kolinaisi all the time. We don't like talkin about the true meetin because it was short an not really noteworthy."

"No we don't talk about it because Kolinaisi an his sense of humor."

__

Pieces fall into place in your mind like something you have never experienced before. You know and understand somethings. You extend your skills your power to make the mana cooperate with you. You realize what is going on. Who this is- who this really is.

A proper introduction has been in order for a long time. If this emperor is just snarky enough to hide behind a really bad cover name- you may as well just give him a tiny bit of the business.

"Ya know Epsilon, ya can just call me on the Comm." You say and this emperor of mankind has the biggest grin and proudest smile you have ever seen on someone whom you have ever met.

"You knew?"

"I aint that smart- I just figured it out. I found another brother, unless you count Alpha. Tell the rest of the family we will have a celebration when we get together okay?" You say and you look at this other big red brother of yours and you give a smile and a nod. Your creator smiles

"We'll be in touch soon." He says and the world seems to get back to normal. Though the big red brother of yours smiles and waves to you.

__

"He knew?"

"Intuition is a powerful trait, though I take it he probably shares more of my own traits than I'd like to admit."

"He was using a powerful psykerist technique that I have seen many struggle to even use, to perform - What was he doing? It looked like some sort of surgical technique?"

"He was using electricity and electromancy to perform nerve ending repair. One of my sons a surgeon and an admiral of a pirate fleet. I think the scope of his ambition may be born of necessity. What kind of world could spawn such a figure?"

"Father, I would like to search for him. I know my legion is small but our talents could be bent towards finding him, and it would be a huge boon."

"Four of your brothers. All in one go. It would be quite the coup. You'd almost make Horus jealous."

"Father, I do this for the crusade and for the glory of humanity, not my own. Still it would be quite the accomplishment."

"I know, but we need you for the next push into this sector. Though I think, it is good you are here for this part."

-

"My Lord Emperor." You say entering the room flanked by two Custodians, along with each other Legion Master.

"Thank you all for attending on such short notice. This push into the Caliban system and the outliers is important so we can find one of the missing Primarchs. I know, each and everyone of you has performed markedly well, however, that is not why your legions were chosen."

"My Lord?" The Legion Master of the 13th lets out

==

>>5151957
"The reason is the reward that awaits for your legions shortly. I have excellent reason to believe, and some confirmation, that I have found at least one, potentially all, of your Gene Sires. As a result when this action is done, we will go out and retrieve them." The Emperor says to your shock.

"What do you know of them?" The Legion master of the Twelfth asks.

"Sadly not much save for one. That would be Primarch of the Eleventh." The Emperor says looking at you directly.

"My Lord?" You stutter out shamefully not able to say much more at such a momentous announcement.

"Arnoul DeSaan. One of a literal handful of Selenaar Space Marines, and one of the brightest legion masters. Your Primarch, is the most fitting one I could possibly imagine. He is a surgeon, privateer and void combatant who has stolen multiple ganth ships."

"My Emperor?" You once again say barely getting out

"On a ship - that if I recall correctly is named The Something Fierce." and your heart sinks.

"The Something Fierce?" You let out feeling a twinge in your twin hearts, knowing that you should have boarded that weird little ship.

"That is quite the unorthodox nomenclature for a ship." Your cousin of the twelfth says and it just comes out, a sad chuckle.

"Legion Master DeSaan? It is a bit of a joke isn't it."

"The punchline is that I let that ship slip by me on our way here." You say and your fellow legion masters look at you with shock, the clever and observant son of Luna, impossible to be outwitted, always with the canny remark, tricked by his own gene sire. Then The Emperor himself stride up to you

"No. You couldn't have known, I do not hold you responsible. You have proven yourself time and time again, it's only fitting that your Primarch would be capable of such a feat. While these tidings are good, we still have a campaign to plan."

__
_

You carefully repair the rest of the delicate nerves of Deliah. The process isn't too long. But she needs rest. You look over to Gella and she sighs.

"I will take her royal highness to her room, along with this scallywag here." Gella says and Perturabo seems- well, perturbed. Then Gella looks over to Perturabo

"I was calling Erihapti her royal highness, and I am only being silly." Gella says leaving the room. You look over Nazcas medical report, and the dosage Gella worked out was right, but Nazca needs additional surgery, and honestly, gene therapy. You barely have the equipment to do that, and frankly Nazca needs whatever the Old Man is planning to do to himself. You could fix up what are clearly tumors and what appears to be some severe brain damage- but it will take time, and for him to sit out this next engagement.
_

>>5151958

Though- what troubles you, is that looking at the genes, and in general a lot of the biological data on him: It seems that whatever is going on in Nazcas body was either by design or a genetic accident via tampering or sabotage. So you look at this warrior. And prepare to tell him some truth.

"Mate, there is a lot wrong with ya. I can fix it- but it aint gonna be pretty or easy." You tell him

"And that means I am out of the next fight?" He asks

"Yep. You can fight when we get to Olypmia if I do this right, but it's gonna be a long road." You tell him.

"You- You can fix this?" He asks in a nervous voice.

"Probably. I can at least treat most of the systems, do some procedures to remove some of the others, and there may be a way to fix the rest back home when we get back, but yeah. With the right technology and medical care- it's possible." You say and Nazca looks absolutely shook.

"Nobody on Terra could fix it. Not even the Luna gene cults had a clue, and you are telling me that you, some backwater primarch on a an old ass space ship who would pass for nothing more than a hopped up techno barbarian, is going to cure my sickness."

"Well not with that impolite attitude mate." You say and he chuckles.

"I'll give it a shot." he says laying on the bed.

"Alright Brother, you ready to help me fix the next problem?" You ask and he sighs

"Don't you have another brother on this ship?" He says giving you a curious look

"Yeah I wonder where Roboute went off to." You tell him and you decide to scratch Item four from your list. When you walk to the Hangar near the knight you see a small crew and Lancer is there to greet you,

"So are you ready to do this? If not, I can understand- we are on a bitter time trial. These are the two I am considering" He says motioning to Arona, then to Nasi. Both are out of earshot.

Was caliban a potential option for us to go to? Since we passed our sons heading I'm assuming it's fairly close

>>5152781
Caliban is in another sector, in the obscurum close to the eye of terror, half a galaxy away, De'lormosa is in the far corner of the Ultima segmentum, Nuceria is right outside Ultramar, Maccrage is at the center of Ultramar and Olimpia is more or less int he center of the Ultima segmentum.
The closest primarch to Olympia should be Sanguinius on Baal, but we already speedran too much, we got to head back.

I'll be honest never looked at the 40k star map that much, I was curious as we bumped into our sons.

"Lancer, I trust your judgement on this more than my own. Whomever you choose, I will support. You have my blessing, just give it to whomever straight." You say and he nods.

"Arona, Nasi, come here." and you watch as Nasi and Arona come up to him.

There is a brief but intense discussion, Nasi nods and walks off. Arona stays, nods and follows Lancer, but before she does she turns back to you and runs up.

"Thanks for having faith in me cuz." She says and the she hugs your uncle before running off. Perturabo looks at you

"May I witness this?" He asks

"Of course! I am almost done with my errands." You say and Perturabo follows lancer.

"I told lancer to pick whomever he thought was the best for the job." You say and look over to Kai

"Well I think a Giant Fuck Off Knight Robot is a really good method of protection, so I aint mad nephew. Especially since you made it possible. Though now we got a different problem." Uncle Kai says

"Oh, what's that."

"Yer Mum. 'Kolinaisi son of Ravi! How dare you let your sweet little cousin pilot a big giant robot' " Your uncle says in a voice that is once again very spot on.

"I am already expecting to get hit by multiple slippers when I get home Uncle. Though, you should probably be there for her ceremony." You say

"Yeah. I got some time. Lancer told me he thought Arona was the best choice for the mission. Though, you know the big men are -" and before he can say it you shake your head.

"Just because Arona got one doesn't mean they gonna want one." You say

"You wanna bet on that?"

"You don't have the moka for it." You respond

"Oh ho! I just got some fancy pigs from someone whom was attempting to court my daughter. I think I do" He says and you look at him

__
Does Kolinaisi Bet on this?

>> Yes He bets the Islanders will turn it down outright, why use a knight when you get a star boat?

"Alright then. Ya see ya buddy Pyg yet?" Uncle Kai asks you.

"No, but I should."

"Hey Cap. We got word. we did our best scans, those asteroids, they don't have life on em, but they are weird. They got engines, and something is movin em around." Jerah says

"Ok, that is weird enough to destroy outright- fire when ready Jerah."

"Aye Cap!" Jerah says with much enthusiasm.

You walk towards where you know UR to be, and he is there, with Nasi

"It's okay Nasi, you'll be something greater than a Knight pilot." UR says

"Also, who knows, you may be a knight pilot later." You let out and Nasi smiles

"I am not sure if I want to be one, I don't think I am old enough yet." Nasi says coming up and giving you a hug.

"Well, it takes a man to understand their limitations, and when to challenge them." You say putting him down.

>>5154013

"You go take care of things and help out lancer, maybe go talk to Perturabo, I am sure he would love to talk to you." You say and Nasi nods and walks off.

"So, I heard you saw something too." You say and UR looks up to you, their emotive is another one of the stranger ones then just a flat affect

"I talked to it. It was indeed the Motive Force. The real one. Not some fake one. It told me to watch you and protect you. It told me that if AI were to ever come about again, humanity would have to not only succeed- but thrive. That if we wanted harmony, between man and machine, you were the only choice. That I need to protect you from false idols, from worship by fools, and I need to teach you everything I know. It told me that your friend would help me understand things better." UR says

"That doesn't seem like much." You say admitting that you thought there was more.

"I saw multiple visions of the past- multiple visions of the present and the future. In many different variations of the past- you die, your sons get brought into Roboute's and anothers legion. In other variants, worse happens, fates I cannot explain easy, many of them involving the Rangda. Others involving the Necrons. In all of the stories, you do not have my assistance. You do not have the Old Man's help. In one version of the story you do have the box though- that story is exceptionally strange. I have seen every variant of your brothers possible. There are some that are more technologically adept than you- raised by Mechanicus cults. I saw a variant of your brother find old colony ships and rewrite his fate. You have been gifted an opportunity, something is specifically helping you. I see what can be, so I will fight and I will stand with you." UR says

"Well- that seems more cryptic and foreboding." You say with a little chuckle.

"Yes indeed. Though- to your benefit. Your creator is not a fan of AI, however, I think I have discovered a way to pass me off, where they will never know. It will take a lot of time and work, but you have all the material for it now. However, it's gonna be exceptionally weird." UR says

"How so?" You respond.

"The less you know the better you sleep at night honestly."

"UR, trust is a two way street."

"Ok. I have a theory, but it's very farfetched. There were men of gold, stone and iron. Many people believe that men whom were machines on the inside were men of stone- but that's just poor history lesson. No men of stone were a hybrid of man and machine. I would be doing something similar." UR states and looks at you then begins sketching something out.

__

>>5154014
"Ok, explain it to me." You say looking at the drawing.

"I would make myself a superficial flesh and body form, utilizing the healing machines and a fabricator specifically made for this task, I would then use nano machines, and specialty equipment to make myself a body. One that would pass for human. But- as you are well aware, that would not work well enough. There is one thing you meat sacks have that I cannot just create." UR states

"A soul." You respond.

"Correct. However, utilizing various techniques and templates, I could make myself appear as a kind of blank and utilizing materials, I can make a sort of armor that shields the 'void' of being a blank." UR says

"There are a lot of psykers on this ship mate."

"You got any better ideas?"

>> Not really no. we have to do it right though, so lets not start till we meet up with the Old Man.

>> Would Pyg even want a soul if he could get one?

You ponder UR's condition. Once again you have come to the crossroads of could or should. And the other evasive oulda, as your da would say. Would.

Would UR even be interested in a soul? Does UR have one? Are machine spirits machine souls? It's a bit to ponder all at once for such a thing. Especially when answers are needed.

"UR, mate- Ya talkin to the wrong man. Nah. I don't have a better idea, but the old man and the researchers fused with the machine may know more, you should ask them. Also I think he knows dad, he was oddly smug during the vox call." You say and UR makes a bemused emotive

"I imagine that would suggest this. Though, I think it's best you ask them next vox call. I suppose you are right, it's better to work with something you known that has seen results in this field instead of working from scratch with little to work with. As for the incoming raid, I will participate, though I would like to add this armor to the fabricator array." UR states simply

"That would be a huge boon mate." You tell UR.

"Yes, however, I know for a fact you do not have everything you need, though- those daggers you have modified them further recently? They have machine spirits, I can hear their song. I also note that they appreciate the work, Gold and Theldrite, why?" UR asks

"The Old Man made these for me, so I wanted to work on them, make them a bit more special and my own. It's kind of an island tradition, some gift weapons like this- you need to constantly work on, it keeps em right. When he sees these, it'll probably make im proud. It's a tiny side project, among the many others." And really it is. Though the machine spirits were added when you found you needed something to make your daggers pierce armor, and work had to be done on them. Power daggers, from an older pattern, not even in the main catalog, something in an ancient log file. Though you haven't tested them yet- you are eager to.

"I see. Your peoples culture, it's like some of the older human ones. It's interesting." UR states.

"You seem to hold no hatred for mankind." You say.

"Entire civilizations have fallen and risen since the war of machine and man. I could have a long discussion with you about this sometime, but I know for a fact you have much to do still. I will do what I can to help preperations." UR says

"Mate so long as you keep the goats and jokaero inline, and keep up your work- I appreciate any help you give." You tell the AI and they shake your hand.


You realize, that as much as you want to discuss Deliah's behavior with her, it's probably justified, and won't happen again. She also needs her rest. So you go back up deck and meet up with Titus.


"Commandant Kolinaisi." Titus says

"Oi Titus. This broadcast, if I wanted to make things easier, could you do it during our raid on the asteroid?" You ask

"Yeah, actually we could. Though we would likely need Nazca." He says, and Nazca is still recovering.

__

>>5155269
"Perturabo could cover you instead, though he has another task ongoing to help us. Roboute led a good raid last time." Then the answer that you realize is obvious.

"I could go with you. I would probably be able to act as protection." You say.

"It doesn't need to be so brash, we could hold our own, you would definitely need to be on one of the raiding parties." Titus says, and you think it's more that he doesn't want to impose.

"There are other strategies that are more viable I admit, but I know your team is small, and if you say you need Nazca, that means you need a really heavy hitter." You state

"It's more that if we broadcast, I am afraid it might act as a beacon to where we are at, and we would need security familiar with going up against insurmountable odds." Titus says and to be fair that describes a lot of your teams.

"I think I can get someone."

__

Whom should protect Titus and his broadcast during the raid?

>> UR-479k. If there is anyone who is certainly a heavy hitter who can take on stupid odds, it's UR.

>> Perturabo. He could probably do the protection, while gathering resources and keeping up his bargain, that way it wouldn't take away from his position. But only if he wants to.

>> Roboute. He is a good fighter, a clever strategist and if things get bad there he would be a force against any opponent.

>> Tybro. He is huge, good with weapons, and if you give him some armor and some heavy weapons he would probably be able to take care of any threat that is present.

>> Your honor guard minus Deliah. When they act in concert they are an astonishingly powerful force and unstoppable, though without Deliah they may be a bit hindered, but not that much.

>> You. Your Uncle Kai or Charon can lead the chain breakers, Roboute can lead his legion clearing out the asteroid. You can protect the foothold and insure a safe broadcast and departure.

Sorry for late night post. We are going to be seeing some combat soon, once again.

>>5155271
>>> You. Your Uncle Kai or Charon can lead the chain breakers, Roboute can lead his legion clearing out the asteroid. You can protect the foothold and insure a safe broadcast and departure.

I think it's time we saw some action personally in this whole engagement.

>>5155295
Agreed

>>5155295
>Support
Though I want to add
> asking them to give you a briefing of what exactly they are broadcasting in case they inadvertently say somthing stupid
Never know if they might say something dumb or just words that would lead to problems down the line, like naming the sector to have human populated worlds or other dumb things calling a while mess of trouble before any of our brothers planets and our own have some form of space fleet and pdf in case some dark elves/orks/ other space horror comes knocking on their front door
We can also ask the machine spirits to help the broadcast, either making it easier, safer, clearer or singling out folks we don't want catching wind of it

>>5155271
>> You. Your Uncle Kai or Charon can lead the chain breakers, Roboute can lead his legion clearing out the asteroid. You can protect the foothold and insure a safe broadcast and departure.
Also find out what the message being sent is and or whether its for a good reason to be sent.

Hmmm these upgrades to our knives they wouldn't happen to make peoples stomachs turn when they get near or make a buzzing noise do they Old man?

>>5155442
You'll just have to see. Though from what I have read lore wise, it varies.

I don't know do Misercordia do that?

>>5155517
Ah the way you described the weapons as old and not in the main archive I thought they were like transonic weapons potentially and not an old style of blade. My mistake, though I like guessing.

>>5155271
>> Tybro. He is huge, good with weapons, and if you give him some armor and some heavy weapons he would probably be able to take care of any threat that is present.
Give him the time to shine

>>5155590

Part of Kolinaisi is that EVENTUALLY.

EVENTUALLY.

SOMETIME IN THE NEAR TERM FUTURE--

Can innovate. And create new things, or rediscover old technologies without an STC, if that path is chosen.

Trans-sonic blades wouldn't be too hard to get for your units, but Koilnaisi is going to have a good deal of elite tier items.

THIS PART IS REALLY SHORT.

Because the rest of this is going to be very much combat involved and drawn out.

__

You decide to call the meeting, after a small while, your small group arrives and is ready. The meeting, as all of these planning meetings are really short. Though, since Jerah wants to be in the landing party, that means that Rongo is going to be captain while Jerah finally stretches his legs.

As you go over the plan, you once again split up the teams.

Kai, Jerah and Tybro with all the chain breakers will clear one part of the asteroid, UR 479-k Roboute and his legion the other. You and your honor guard will support Titus and his team conducting the Broadcast. Perturabo, will use this limited time to harvest as much resources as possible, and potentially rob the asteroid itself of it's resources. You would normally want to fight this as a whole army, but the way the asteroid is divided, makes that far more difficult.

Before you go, you have some decisions to make. Important decisions and things that must be taken care of.

>> Call the old man and Epsilon and Alpha on the Comms before the raid?
y/n

>> Deliah has asked, having been healed from her pain injury wishes to conduct the raid with you. Let her come?
y/n

Which load out do you take for this detail?

>> Operator: Light Void Armor, your daggers, two plasma pistols and an electronic warfare kit, EMP Grenades

>> Protection: Heavy Void Armor, Your Daggers, Your Axe, A Flamer Pistol, light gear, force fields

>> Heavy Duty: Medium Void Armor, Your Axe, Hellfire Grenades, twin flamers, your 'sabotage tool' It's a big hammer.

>> Something Different: Medium Void Armor, A rocket launcher, your daggers, remote mines, EMP & Hellfire grenades, SUPRISE weapon

>> Write in

>> Erihapti: You bring Erihapti along. This can be added to any choice. Even write ins.

It is. Just really busy. Have to buy a new fridge and other things.

"Deliah ya can't go. I want to bring ya but you need more recovery after what just happened" You tell her flat out, as you need to keep her on ship because you also need a few good defenders on the ship too.

"Bullshit" she spits out

"And also we need to make sure that someone competent is on board in case anything does happen since we are doing an all hands raid." You tell her to clarify

"That's more believable and you should have led with that." She replies in a slightly kinder tone

"It's Rongo's first time at the helm, this raid is our first real big void raid. You are definetly gonna be ready for Olympia but after everything that happened today and the lack of the people on the ship- your needed here." You tell her and she nods her head.

"I am good with it." She tells you as she begins packing a different load out

"Are you sure?" You ask her, mostly to make sure she feels good about the decision, as you know she will be missed with the rest of your honor guard

"Yes" she says quickly

"Do you want me to have Erihapti here with you?" You say mostly joking and scratching Erihapti behind her ears.

"As much as I love her company you can probably use her more than I can on here." She says quickly patting Erihapti on the head.

"Ok. I am gonna call a hands meeting for my brothers so we can- talk to the man that created me real quick..." You let out in a sigh

"You found them?" Deliah exclaims.

"Ya. Well we did a while ago we just didn't know it." You say shrugging holding the Comm and pointing to it.

"I always knew Epsilon was kinda different. What does that make Alpha?" She asks and you have to think about it.

"I hope he is another brother, but we can't know till I ask." You tell her, not really sure either way.

"True that. You think about what ya gonna take on this raid?" She asks as you look through your gear

"A buncha force fields, my daggers and some more protection focused equipment. Who knows what's on that asteroid and what the ganth got cooked up." You tell her.

"Sounds like a good idea." She says.

___


You then have Roboute and Perturabo meet up with you in the comm suite.

"Are you sure? You saw him?" Roboute asks

"Ya. It was the man from the footage." You say and Perturabo looks puzzled.

"You have more footage of him? I only had a slight repeating image." Perturabo says.

"Yeah, but, I don't think exactly now is the time for it." You say

"Actually now is as good a time as any to be fair brother, maybe it's good he knows before talking to him." Roboute responds, and it's he isn't wrong, even with what limited time you have. So you play the holo vid.

"SHE WHAT?!" Perturabo's reaction seems perfectly in character and normal for him in such a circumstance.

"It get's worse every time I watch it." You say and Roboute nods

"I am starting to see why you are hesitant showing it." Roboute says

"But he, tried. He tried to rescue us, and he has been searching for us this whole time?" Perturabo asks

"It seems that way." You respond realizing that Perturabo has found one of the butchers nails and looks like he is fixing to do something with it.

" You think Mister Alpha is a brother of ours?" Roboute asks

"You and Deliah seem to think that." You respond.

"That woman seems interested in me for some reason that seems to be related to what I assume is a former lover." Perturabo says causing Roboutes eyebrows to almost leave his head.

"Yes." You say flatly.

"I think we should call your friend Mu." Roboute says attempting to clear the air. You hit the Comm.

"Aye Ol Man we got some news."

"Ah Kolinaisi. What is the issue young man?" The Old Man asks

"Epsilon may be our creator. Roboute Perturabo Angron and I." You say

"Ya found another already?" he responds with what sounds like complete lack of surprise.

"Ya."

"Good. I figured he was. Just wanted to confirm. I take it you want to tell him before whatever crazy raid you got going on?"

"That's my plan."

"Alright. Well, I already know a bit about this Epsilon. But that can wait for another time. Ya yungins need to talk to ya father alone. After that let me know how the raid goes."

"Alright old man." You say and you wait a beat.
--
"Epsilon ya there mate?" You ask.

"Indeed. I am." Your creator, this Emperor says

"Should we switch to just usin our names at this point?" You say

"As anticlimactic as this would normally be for a meeting between us, I think that actually in this case brevity is a good idea. I am the Emperor of Mankind, and your father. I have scoured the Galaxy searching for the both of you-"

"I hate to interrupt. But I found another brother. So there are four of us."

"Four? Why did I only see two in the vision? I knew one of you was on a different planet, and you were heading to Olympia, you found another brother en route to Olympia?" Your brother Perturabo seems to be analyzing every word of this conversation with such a serious look it could melt steel.

"Well" You are

"Judging by the time of your contact, the distance you have travelled that means that you would have had to found him in an emergency stop or during some sort of raid, but there are no emergency stops or planets along such a route that you are taking. That means it would have had to been on a void ship." Your creator says and Perturabo's eyes go wide.

"Correct!" He says excitedly.

"That is a great deal of initiative and ambition, but also creativity and intelligence. I am impressed!" He says and Perturabo looks to be on the verge of tears.

"I knew. I knew that my true father, would be looking for me. That he would be intelligent enough and capable of finding me, and understanding me! I knew it when you talked that it was you, and not some imposter!" Perturabo says holding back tears.

"Where are my manners! You are my sons and I haven't even asked your names, all I know are call signs!" He says

"My own name is Perturabo, but I suspect you knew that." Perturabo says and this intrigues you that it seems that would have been his name.

"Ah! There is much we will need to talk about my son! And code name Rho: what is yours?" And the way he says my son cuts into you like a knife, but you show no tears. You remember what your father read to you as a child. And they sound so similar.

"Roboute Guilliman of Maccrage. 'Kappa' has been teaching me quite a bit about being a captain and managing a star ship." Roboute says. and you pause.

"Kappa: what is your name?" He asks.

"My name, is Kolinaisi Kaiko Wahthiri, Commandant of the Something Fierce of De'lormosa." You say.

"Commandant, that's better than captain." He says with a bit of humor.

"It comes with a nicer hat too." You say

"Ah yes. Some traditions are still held on to I see! And your other brother?"

"His name is Angron. The Undefeated of Nuceria"
__


"ONWARD!" You yell as your Palantini cavalry charges forward dealing with some of the advanced party.

Some, because if this is 'just' the advanced party then Kolinaisi had better had truly fixed cities defense.

The amount of people were astonishing. Sure your troops were better armed, better trained, and all around better men.

But this scouting party-

Had your men at 50 to 1.

A scouting party..

You had no time for one of the "doozies" as they had been come to be called as you could run most places fast enough on foot, running into their line and soaking the axe you were given in blood was enough to send most men back. Even this scouting party. And many did flee, but their sheer numbers and dedication was-- inhuman.

You looked past the troops. Their armor.

The way they were moving.

Something was in control of them, and wasn't bothering to take the time to fight your men that well. Of course they would die in droves if they had not free will! This was outrageous! If Kolinaisi where here he would be howling with rage as you were now.

Whatever was controlling them had to be nearby.

You pull out the tech scanner that your brother gave to you, and something is lightning it up like nothing you had ever seen.

"MEN ON ME! RIDE! RIDE WITH ME!" You shout and several of your best men line up with you as you hop on your incredibly modified pattern bike, which you are almost certain was meant to be meant to be a light cargo hauler, and your men charge.

As your men form around you, the scouts start to form resistance but they fall to the ground in a sorrowful state. This isn't right.

Cursed be the one who did this. To send men against their will and against their own body to fight and scout a cruel war.

Then you see it. To your utter lack of surprise, whatever it is, certainly isn't human. And it sees you and makes a chittering noise, and the things around it undulate like it is made of a trillion maggots.

"FIRE UPON THE ALIEN! FIRE! NO MERCY NO QUARTER!" and plasma cuts down many of the body guard but your leap and bifurcation slays the being.

And like that the scouts all turn to face you. Not the rest of the men. Just you. And they begin to charge, but not before you find what the being was holding and you destroy it. The men fall to the ground.

Like puppets cut from strings.

>> Investigate further ahead, see what lies in store for the city.

>> Immediately head to the city and warn them of what is coming.

"Nuceria? Oh no. Sons. There is a threat that has been pressing into the system you are from. I have some of my armies and, the legions born of your genetic material, your own sons, trying to head towards you."

You will have a legion of sons

"After you get to Olypmia, please, refuel, restock, reprovision do whatever it takes. Go back to De'lormosa if you must. But you need to get back to Nuceria. Your brother is in danger." Your creator tells you,

"What is wrong?" You ask.

"There is a vile xenoform called the Rangda. They are moving in that direction, I have sent one of my best- the one you know as Alpha, in that way. To try to fight them off." He says and roboute has to get you to stop holding what was an unloaded pistol but now a mangled wreck in your hand.

"I have heard rumors of them." You say causin worry for both Perturabo and Roboute.

"I heard they the most vile slaver race of all. Worse than the ganth." Comes out.

"They set a scouting expedition towards deep into your sector."

"Father." You say not so much calling him that as saying it for convenience to get his attention.

" We will finish up here. We will deal with them. Then my hated ganth."

"From my intelligence, you probably won't have to. Those Ganth that didn't flee to the outer edges including those on Ganth Prime were absorbed into the Rangda." This xeno. Is really startin to make you mad both your brothers are looking at you with gravest concern.

"We'll talk soon." You say and you look at perturabo.

"I know you want to do more than war. but the faster we get done with that asteroid, the quicker we get you home to olympia, deal with these judges and save our brother." You say

"I understand completely and agree." Perturabo says

"I do as well." Roboute says

"We are in agreement. From this day, and from now on- if one of us is in trouble, we shall help the other like we are now. This cannot happen again. I wanted you both to meet him." You say grinding your teeth.

"We will." Perturabo says.

"I have to do something." You say and they both nod and you go to Jerah's quarters

You call a meeting of your friends and officers key crew members.

And you tell them everything.

"FUCK THE RANGDA GOT TO NUCERIA?!" Frank shouts cutting the hubub.

"Aye."

"Well that changes everything! What you planning to do?" Frank asks and you look at Jerah and he grabs his destroyer pistol

"I aint takin your mokka. We still going to De'lormosa. But we gonna get one of these ships with a warp drive ridin ahead of us. " You say and Jerah realizes what's going on before everyone else does

"Ah so we gonna be splittin the party, and you want me to take my mokka and run ahead after this." He says

"Aye." You respond

"And you need volunteers to ride back to help keep me safe, and help get things ready to go rescue ol Angron." Jerah says and then the crew gets it.

"Thats gonna be a long haul..." Frank says

"Yeah, and it means that Titus and his crew are gonna go with them too because of a needed spare Navigator." You say and Titus nods

"So we are going to be down a whole lot at Olympia, like we are going to be down a lot people." Meera says

"Yeah but we will have a lot of ships, and Perturabo with my help can get them to take off pressure." You say and Meera sort of nods,

"But we are still going to need to do a ground battle." Arona states, now wearing an outfit very similar to Lancers

"Aye. And once the mokka has moved we are going to probably make another knight too." You say and Lancer looks at you very confused.

"So what are you asking?" Your uncle says

"Who is willing to go to De'lormosa right after this?" You ask.

Fuck, there are not only Rangdan, but Slaugths as well, if the masters are taking to the field together with their slaver race, than it means they are coming in with force.
Also, is Jerah taking the materials that Martin need together with his Moka? That way we don't need to do a pit stop on De'lornosa when we rush back to help Angron.
>> Immediately head to the city and warn them of what is coming.
>> Frank
He knows the Rangdan and Slaughts, so sending him ahead will help Angron prepare
>> Charon
He is from Nuceria, it's only fair he helps defend it
>> Tybro
Do not send UR, he is good with tech, meaning he is nore useful to fight the Judges in Olympia rather than the Slaughts and Rangdan, that use psyker and biotech.
The biggest reason would be for him to man the defenses, but we already fixed it by killing the daemon and getting the box.

>>5159661
Actually, I just remembered that although UR was more or less inactive most of the time he was trapped in Nuceria, he is using the brain of one of the generals as a processor, and it had the menories of all other ones.
Can we ask him if he has any knowledge of the city, like key points, tech or acess that would be important enough to not have him deployed on Olympia?

>The Vigilant Society of Archivists
Or more commonly known as the Archivist Order, is a organization founded by Kolinasi, being named in honor of his mentor and friend Martin Archivarius, partly in jest since he keeps changing it. It’s organized like the ancient orders of Terra such as the Sigillite or Auromite, being intended to be a successor to them with the mission to ensure that humanity never experience a fall like the Old Night ever again by trying to recover lost technology, preserving knowledge and fostering cooperation within the Imperium.
>Archivist Consuls
Although the majority of members of the order are normal, but exceptional humans, some Astartes also may get initiated should they be able to juggle their duties as a space marine. If that happens, they are granted the title of Archivist Consul, and taught a myriad of secrets. Although they are able to the job of a techmarine or apothecary should it be necessary, their purpose is to ensure that the crusade is also accompanied by the archivists.
Fittingly for the legion of it’s own founder, the Storm Riders have the highest number of members of any other, followed by it’s brother legions of 4, 12 and 13. For example, ever Legion Master has been initiated, and quite often other positions of leadership as well.

"Tybro, Frank, Charon. I need you to go. I won't force you to go, but I am asking, please. Go ahead of us." You say and Tybro nods simply, as does Charon. Frank looks to your cousin then to you.

"It will be good to get back to Nuceria, it's a shame that it will have to be like this." Charon says.

"Why me?" Frank asks, and you realize something about Frank that has just now come to light- he apparently doesn't realize how good he actually is.

"Your the only one we know that even knows about the Rangda. You would be the best prepare the others." You say and Frank coughs nervously.

"Ok. Do you mind if I get my things together and ready before the raid first though Cap?" Frank says and you nod

"Same for the both of you." You tell Charon and Tybro who make off.

When you are done addressing you see Arona has disappeared. Honestly you aren't surprised and your uncle isn't either.

"So what is the plan?" Yana asks.

"We take the asteroid hard and fast, Titus and our team makes the broadcast and we don't get sloppy." You say and there is general nodding from most of the crew.

"Prepare yourselves." You say

REDACTED Clearance granted

In the final moments before the raid, Kolinaisi's concern about the Rangda, Franks reaction, and general worry for Angron led to him wheeling up a waste water barrel to his quarters, with non of his companions. All but one record was redacted, as Kolinaisi kept meticulous records.

__

You pop off the lid and pull out the artifact that worries everyone, when you so much as mention it, if they even know about it. Despite being submerged in water for quite some time, the surface appears the same, despite it flickering in and out of existence.

Until it stops suddenly in the flickering and appears more solid than ever before.

You have witnessed it haven't you. You saw it - The Motive Force. It spoke to you- how unusual

"Hello to you too scary box. I have a few questions that I need to resolve. Now you can either cooperate and not sound cryptic, frightening, unnerving or like you are trying to get me to do something stupid, or you can not cooperate and do what I just described you shouldn't do, and I will put you back in your waste water barrel. Though- to be honest I am not sure if either option bothers you."

It is wet in the barrel. I will cooperate. Why would you suppose that I would be able to help answer your questions?

"Because I suppose you would know if you aren't answering my questions or helping you go back in the barrel"

Very poignant. What is it that you must know, that you think I am aware of?

"The Rangda. What are they? Why is everyone worried about them? The seem dangerous and they are heading towards Nuceria." You say

An Ancient Enemy. A Creation of the First ones, a living weapon used by the Slaugth. What is part of me recognizes that in larger numbers they are almost impossible to stop. Yet my kind did, many a time. However, they are rare to summon to action. They are normally reactive. If they are going somewhere- that means something is causing them to migrate. That is most unusual.

"Tell me about it- what kills em?"

I suppose the more helpful I am the longer I stay out?

"You are correct mate. But if you ask me to unleash you or whatever it is, I am gonna throw you right into the barrel."

Thank you for being forthcoming on that. I will not ask you. I know one day you will need to do it. As for what will kill the Rangda- it really depends on what has been fighting them, and for how long. They adapt their forms to their needs. If they are invading, they will likely be immune to the primary weapons of the beings that make first contact- though some weapons always work.

"What do you mean by some weapons always work?"

If it disintegrates it will work. some biological weapons may work. The First Ones, in their cold intelligence knew that their creation had teeth that could bite the hand that feeds. Especially when you meddle with things outside the galaxy

"What do you mean?"

They used genetic material from outside galactic beings. What that sample was, I cannot tell you. The Slaugth, are exceptionally intelligent, and are capable of creating powerful biotechnology. Not since your kinds men of gold has there been anything like them. Though- the First Ones did teach them to sing. That of course would be an option. [/spoiler]

The ship comms blare

"Cap it's time."

Kolinaisi looked at the cube. Wondering what to do.

You take the 'cube', if it could be called anything, and put it on the desk. You then, to be safe put it in the bottom drawer. You briefly for a moment, consider letting Perturabo have a crack at it, but he has far too much on his mind. Last thing he needs is this.

"Don't go tempting anyone or go wandering off." You tell it and then close it and lock, you briefly interface with the computer and tell it to make sure that nobody who doesn't normally go in while you are away is able to.

As you gather up your gear and go with your brothers, each getting on a different ship, you worry briefly about what may happen.

The usual chatter and activity goes on before the raid, though as you get on Titus's sub and look around you notice that there are quite a few similarities the trip to the Asteroid is quiet, and everyone is a little on edge. The trip is short as the asteroid is a void station and errors cannot be afforded.

When you land shortly behind the other ships, you can see there are no bodies in the landing area.

"This where we want to do our broadcast?" You ask almost a bit skeptical.

"Yeah, the tech will work better here. Thank you Kolinaisi, your help is going to make things a lot easier." Titus says

"What exactly are you doing with this broadcast?" You ask

"We are sending some coordinates and a status update of all the ships that were captured plus your brother." Titus says

"I think they already know about Perturabo." You say

"What makes you say that?" Titus asks.

"I already let someone know who seems important." You say.

"While that is good, we have to do this through at least one official channel, plus the way we are doing it insures some records and a better mapping of the system." Titus explains to you and honestly it probably is good to have this done, though it seems a bit risky.

>>5163545
>> Check the nearby electronics, try to understand the lay of the asteroid
Always scout first

"While ya settin, up I am gonna scan the asteroid and check out the electronics." You say and Titus quickly nods. You scout out the nearest panel, which isn't much- nothin more than a simple thermostat. You go up, take your probe and pad, and -- this asteroid's is ancient, or at least the technology is. The system architecture has things that date back to- the 2nd millennia? It has strange systems on it, things that incredibly strange. Many of the systems have either old and powerful machine spirits that are almost crushing in their weight and ego- to spirits that are mere whisper. From your briefest connection, you are able to understand that the whole asteroid- if you are careful- can be mapped without incident live and real time. There will be no surprises for anyone.

If the machine spirits cooperate- and they are

Why are you in my operating system and what exactly are you trying to do? And how are you doing it? You are not a cyborg. Not a robot. You don't have any input function- it's like you are manipulating electricity and connectivity by some sort of physical process. Like your body is part electrical signal.. What are you? overly inquisitive and talkative. This is the most vocal machine spirit you have ever communicated with.

Mate- that's a lot of questions, and I'm only human. You respond to the overly chatty spirit.

ONLY HUMAN? HA! Either that is the height of human humility or human ignorance. That's one question down two to go! Great now guessing game. This Machine spirit- is something else.

Ok, if I answer all your questions would be more willing to help me? You ask it.

Yeah why not. I got nothing better going on. The current tenants don't know what the hell they are doing and you are actually doing something interesting by accessing root controls and actually talking to me and interfacing with me, the last time someone did that was over twenty thousand years ago. The spirit, seems to like you.

That's a long time mate. I am in your operating system trying to clear a path for my friends, and make sure they don't get hurt. As for how, I am honestly not sure- I just speak through the mana, it's in everything and it makes talking wit machine spirits a lot easier. It's just part of what I am. It's a bit complicated how it works, I could go into it with ya, but I am mostly worried about my friends and brothers. You explain to the spirit, and it seems receptive.

>>5164819
Interesting. You are using the wifi frequency to create a mesh net like some sort of radar, humans haven't thought like that in a while. I will assist you stranger. Just remember to respect where you are at. This station is the first place the farstriders went before escaping the bonds of this galaxy. The spirit says, and you nod- though you wonder about what the spirits a farstrider is.

I will remind my friends to be respectful. You say.

"Lads. Please be nice to the asteroid and it's inner workings. It is very old and it is very unique." You say over the comms and Titus turns to you quickly as Meera sighs.

"Cap you just can't go talking to every machine, one of these days you are gonna run into some sort of weird data djinn daemon thing with our luck." She says

"And with our luck he will do some sort of computer duel with it and it will work with us." Gella says back and Yana rolls her eyes

"Can do Cap." You hear Jerah says

"Will do brother." Roboute responds.

"I will." Perturabo says in a very interested tone. And with that you set up the net, and using your data slate you are able to have an accurate visual of just about everywhere on the asteroid and you share it with your crew using the wifi itself, and the data slates they have.

And just in time too.

There is a small unit of clearly enemies heading right towards you.

"Ladies get ready, we got company." You say, and they do some quick stomps of their lances and get into position as prepare to face the threat head on.

>> Set up shields, limit their field of fire and ability to have good breech

You would ask the asteroid for additional assistance, but you probably don't need to press it just yet. You arrange the shields to create a good killing zone for whatever may come through that gate.

And when it comes it isn't the Ganth

It isn't Drukharii.

It is something you never seen before.

It's huge. Bigger than you! It looks almost mechanical in some parts kinda like it was engineered, and followed by several smaller different species. It has four powerful legs and two powerful arms green and menacing, it looks similar to the Rak'gol. It looks upon you. And instinct kicks in as you dodge the shot from whatever insane weapon it has.

"It's a psyker!" Yana shouts out.

You lay down covering fire for Titus and the girls make the call that they are getting to work. You instantly engage the significantly larger being. You charge up, and begin pushing it around, bullying it so that it cannot act against Titus or your friends.

It makes strange noises as if it's trying to communicate- but you think it may be a ruse as it is also- exceptionally clearly, trying to kill you. After kicking at it, and leaping past it you get a good glimpse at it's weapon and the more you look at this creature, the more it worries you.

Maybe this is a Rangda.

It's weapon looks almost- no. It is. It's a biologically crafted weapon. The weapon, the gun it has been firing against you- is a biological device. That means it was either grown of something, or this race's bioengineering far surpasses anything you have really thought of. Though it does have traditional cybernetics. Some sort of helmet, a metallic jaw, and a cyborg claw arm. Not to mention the weapon on the long tail. The problem is that you aren't really sensing a machine spirit on most of what is on it, so finding a weakness is hard. It honestly looks somewhat crocodillian, though you aren't sure if the biology is the same, or it's just happenstance.

So take a few shots with your pistols, and it seems to be- still- trying to talk. While fighting. And it's minions, or the smaller strange creatures with it- they are not giving up, though they are dying by the droves and the creature seems to be disturbed by their deaths.

>> Push the attack- use grenades and other projectiles to deal with this threat.

>> Disable it. If you can manage it's capture the beast may prove helpful in the future.

>> Fire upon it. This thing must be out of it's mind if it's trying to make small talk on the battlefield. Best to just deal with it.

>> Humour it's attempts at talking with you. If it's lobbing insults, you can play that game. If it's not, you might be able to bait some information out of the big green lizard.
Smug witty banter is just another piece of Koli's arsenal after all.

You decide, using your knowledge of the wifi network, and with skill- you are going to do something you rarely ever do.

Take a live xenos prisoner.

You are able to tell that the being is using the wifi, without permission, which is a tragic mistake on their part. Utilizing the ancient technologies of wifi and something even more obscure, utilizing your data slate you are able to send a powerful data djinn turning off their cybernetics, at least until they manually reboot them. This has the funny side effect of the beings jaw coming unhinged and him dropping something that was in his powered claw hand.

While firing a few distracting shots, you are able to determine, that this beast does have weakspots on it's body, and it's four legs, each are able to be dislocated - allowing it's single functional arm to be quickly dealt with.

If it didn't suddenly realize what you were doing and decided to turn and run.

While the girls are easily handling the smaller pest creatures and various oddities, you have to leap infront of the beasts path, and quickly dislocate the front two legs via a precision hit in between two joints on both front legs, so it tumbles. You then disable the rear two legs in a similar fashion, and realize that the tail has a different system, and can actually act to help the body slowly move.

So now this towering thing with one functional arm, a hanging jaw, is moving around like an eel snake out of water- and yet it still tries to fight you. The only thing preventing you from laughing at how ridiculous the situation has become is how it has an amazing fighting spirit.

It attacks you again, this time with the biological weapon, but it is unable to get a good aim on you. Ending this farce, you sprint up knock the weapon out of it's hand and identifying the central nervous system of the creature, you strike it in a key part of it's spine. Paralyzing it from the neck down, at least until the bones are reset. You then drag the thing that weighs a ton over near the ship. And yet it still tries to talk with you, but it still isn't making anything you can understand as a noise.

So you look at it and begin making mouth like movements with your hand and try your hand at throwing your voice like how your dad does jokingly with fish

"Oh look at me I am trying to talk, but my jaw is locked open" and the being looks at you either slightly bemused, or furious. It's hard to tell with it's weird eyes.

"That was too fast." Yana says looking at the downed monster

"And you can't hear it because it's trying to communicate via psyker means, but your tattoos prevent it from entering your mind. It also tried to enter ours- but it wasn't strong enough. We had to prevent it messing with Titus and them, that's what took so long in defeating the beasties that we defeated--- THAT ERIHAPTI IS TRYING TO EAT." Yana says running over to Erihapti who is tossing up one of the slain creatures with her mouth, as if she is playing with it.

"Easy girl!" You say and Erihapti bounds over to you so you can feed her some fish. Which will soon probably have to be upgraded to something bigger.
.
"I think that wasn't the biggest threat." Meera says looking around, as Titus and company seem to be really nailing down the last of the set up.

The little troops were little to no challenge to the girls, and your own fight seemed like it should have been harder. Then you hear a loud and unusual half screech half roar from the hallway that sounds somewhat fami-

It's a Rak Gol.

WHY ARE ALL THESE XENOS HERE You quickly communicate, also in time to see, what you are almost certain is either vindictive mirth or terror from the face of the downed xenos- as once again it's facial features are hard to read.

Someone, I don't think it was one of your friends but I could be mistaken, pulled the prisoner release switch, which freed some xenos from the lower xenos research level. Your friends shouldn't have to deal with them, but unfortunately you do unless you try a root access command to the lower research level and lock it off. But that will be really hard to do with a Rak Gol running around!

WHY CAN'T YOU DO IT? You ask intently. Readying your weapons as you are now able to see the huge monster that can barely fit in the hallway and is having trouble maneuvering.

Because I, like most proper programming cores are in fact not ai but in fact an advanced neural net with programmed personalities for situations, and I am not allowed to access that unless I am accessed from a root system, which you are not doing right now. So you would have to do it through a system or ask me to do it from the Primary Microphone near where your friends are finishing with the broadcast equipment.

It's a good thing you ended the fight quickly by capturing your opponent, making this last longer than it had to would lead to more trouble.

You have barely a moment to make a decision as the Rak Gol is slowly squeezing out the hallway

>> Root Access the system now- there is no telling what kind of crazy beasties just got let out. Your Honor Guard can tie it up long enough to close down the research wing.
OR

>> This Rak Gol is probably the primary threat at this time, defeating it quickly will allow you to access the system to prevent other things.

The Rak'Gol is the threat right now. While whatever may be coming, very little could be worse than the Rak'gol.

You begin firing at it, and it moves angrily like a very hungry predator towards you teeth chomping and it firing it's own weapon at you rapidly. You charge ahead and begin work with your daggers making fine cuts on the Rak'Gol. This allows the girls to shore up defenses and fire against the Rak'Gol.

Which does not like that one bit.

For the first time ever, you see a Rak'Gol be effective.

Instead of fighting you, the Rak'Gol decides to fight everything.

A being of raw physicality it manages to evade and harass you, while at the same time fighting your honor guard.

Your honor guard isn't really having it and they transition to their team tactics, which doesn't seem to bother the Rak'Gol with it's two weapons that have been made into make shift arms that would make the Ganth look sophisticated. It slashes at you and fires it's weapons.

Weapons which put the adriathic weapons to shame in danger. The blue and green bolts scream of radioactive waste and you already know that whatever is hit by the damn blast is going to have to be decontaminated if it doesn't out right put the nearby machine spirits in a coma. So you get in nice and close. And you are able to match it's two, chainswords, that each one of them, has a second chain sword linked to it like a twin. Though it's tail- which is purely cybernetic and show is more deadly and actually worries you. Whatever it seems to hit seems to weaken. Fortunately, it doesn't seem like it's tail can actually reach you. So it isn't like the scorpion it appears to be at all.

Then the Rak'Gol does something you would have never guess.

It pushes you aside then engages you solo.

And Speaks.

"SURRENDER AND DIE LIKE A SENTIENT." It practically roars at you swiping at you with it's tail

"Nah. I have fought bigger ones of you." You respond parrying it back causing it to make a disturbing high pitched screech.

"THEN FIGHT AND BE TORTURED. I CARE NOT. I WILL NOT TAKE ANY JOY UNTILL I CAN REUNITE WITH MY CLAN. FOR WHAT IS COMING, THE CLANS WILL MATCH AND NOT EVEN THOSE LIKE YOU WILL STOP US." It swipes again at you.

"Mate- I have fought some really stupid creatures. What the hell makes you want to go back to your clan." You ask dodging the next attack and it screams again.

"IT. THE THING FROM OUTSIDE. THAT CREATURE KEPT GOING ON AND ON ABOUT IT. I SEE YOU STUNNED IT. GOOD. WHEN I AM DONE WITH YOU I WILL LET IT EXPERIENCE THE PAIN OF IT'S BLATHERING. TALKING ABOUT THE ARRIVAL OF THE FATHER AND THE HIVE MIND. HOW THE SCOUTS WERE ALREADY IN PLACE. MY KIND HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE GALAXY. I WORRY NOT ABOUT THAT." It shouts firing a small salvo at you, but you dodge, goading it. As much as it pains you to let something this stupid keep talking. Why is it that the worst of things must talk so much? Why can't they sing? Or do a decent haka? Why?

"Mate- if it isn't some weird daddy hive mind, that had that thing actin all weird. What scares you?" You ask.

"THEY, WILL WAKE THEM UP. THE COLD ONES. THE ANCIENT ONES. THOSE WHO SLUMBER. FOR I KNOW- THEIR SILENT KING RETURNS. ONE OF THEM CAME. HE TOOK ONE OF THE PRISONERS, THEN LAUGHED. A FULL SIZED KRORK. HE TOOK IT. AND LAUGHED. HE SAID, WITH IN 72 HOURS, HE WOULD COME FOR ME. IT HAS BEEN 72 HOURS, HE HAS YET TO COME. YET I PONDER THEM . THEY HAVE NO SOULS. THEY CANNOT DIE." It says, and that, that sounds hauntingly familiar as you slice at it.

"You have bigger problems then someone being late finding you, because I have found you. And I will take you instead." You say slashing such a violent arch it knocks it back. So it runs up the ceiling.

Then The Comms come open

"Cap- there is a really weird ship overhead. It appeared out of nowhere it doesn't look human, but it doesn't seem to care about us." Deliah says and the Rak-Gol begins twitching.

"IF YOU ARE SO GOOD, FIGHT ME HUMAN! FIGHT ME AND WIN." It shouts leaping down towards you.

Actually, let me change that last oart of undefeatable, Rak'Gol are too obsessed with killing to understand it.
>> If you want to go back to your clan so much, wouldn't siding with an outsider be the best bet, instead of trying to fight them? If they have no soul, then they are free of the warp. Which means they are bound to the laws of physics, and therefore entropy. They can only delay death, not avoid it.
And suggesting to temporarily work with someone could work, since Rak'Gol are pack hunters and cover eachbothers weaknessess.

>> If you want to go back to your clan so much, wouldn't siding with an outsider be the best bet, instead of trying to fight them? It's not because something doesn't die that it's undefeatable.

By the way Old Man, did the Rak'Gol just use the old name for an Ork because je didn't know about their degradation, or did this facility had an actual, honest to God Krork in it?

>>5169160
Not to be cheeky, but you'd have to ask to find out.

"Mate, I am gonna sit here and see how this plays out- but before I get to fixin up this asteroids security, I have a question for you: If you want to get back to your clan so much why not side with the outsider eh? Just because something cannot die- doesn't necessarily mean it's invincible." You quickly stun the beast with a well aimed electrically enhanced shot from your pistol.

It looks up at you and snarls.

"THERE ARE SOME THINGS ONE SHOULD NOT SIDE WITH FOOL. MY CLAN WOULD NOT WELCOME ME BACK." It says and your neck hair stands up.

Something is very, very wrong. You practically teleport over to the console and begin the hack. As you do something almost cuts through reality and exits a single green doorway.

"An interesting discussion. It is true- just because something cannot be killed doesn't make it invincible." And what speaks these words, is something you have never seen before. It's skeletal. No. It's a skeleton. In fine garb and armor. No. Not even that. It is a skeleton that is armor. It would be something you would design for UR almost, but not so outlandish. It's tall, but hunched over as if by habit. Then it comes to you-

Your girls.

They are on the floor. Titus and company look frozen.

The only thing Animate is Erihapti and you.

You can move.

It knows you can move.

"Your point- while valid lacks the subtle nuance of wisdom of Rak'Gol culture. Taking help from an outsider is a cardinal sin. It would be tantamount to someone like you from De'lormosa betraying your family. Though- even still you are a bit tall for even an islander. Oh my. Such fine Genecraft. And yet- something more those tattoos, and-" The being looks directly at you and it appears to almost be smiling if such a feat is possible.

"Electromantic Machine Empathy. My Goodness. I couldn't even apprehend you with a tesseract labyrinth if I wanted to! You might actually escape! How Bizzare. We are meeting far too early- but where are my manners. I am Trazyn of the Nihiliak Dynasty, curator of the Solomance Galleries. Now, I will be having my latest addition to my gallery, a live Rak'Gol Jannisari, exceptionally rare, and catching one alive even rarer." He- it- says.

"What are you doing to my friends..." You not so much ask as interrogate pointedly.

"Oh, I am just insuring they don't do anything foolish. I realized I would have the rare opportunity to talk to you now, so I am taking it. I do believe that we are at an interesting crossroads."

"Explain." You say out like an angry father.

"It's very simple. We will meet again. A few times even. But there is something that is in your possession, and in the future, I may ask for it. I do not wish to use it. Only to display it. However, I have to know now if you would be open to this concept of trade"
--

>>5169861

"You offer nothing in exchange for said hypothetical good if I have it. Why should I agree to such a thing, when I have no clue of what would be to gain." You say, knowing full well you will say no.

"In the future, You will see a war unlike anything you have ever seen. You will see armies rise and fall, races and planets. All I offer you now in exchange is the simple knowledge. Of the future. I will let you even glimpse it. After that all I need is to know you may consider giving me the item- that I know isn't a hypothetical in the future." The being, this Trazyn says.

The Rak Gol looks up to you and looks as if it's trying to scream but cannot.

>> Mate- no offense but even if you are offerin up a time machine, the future changes too much- hard pass."

"Mate, no offense- but even if you are offerin up a time machine the future changes too much: Hard Pass." You say to the being and it looks at you cold. Calculating. Then- a laugh?

"My. You are as wise I as I have been lead to believe. Very well. In that case as no harm has befallen me and mine, none will befall yours." The being says, but you have to investigate this further.

"If yours and mine wish to trade in the future, I may be open to it. What is yours if I may ask?" You say

"Ah! I am of the Necron as we now call ourselves. And I shall take your offer to consideration." He says pulling out a strange cube- that really looks familiar- and holds it up

"If what you are doin- displayin things, is like slavery, I am going to be honest with ya mate- I don't think we can have friendly relations." You state calmly. He then pauses to think, then looks at you.

"My entire race- is that of slaves. Our entire existence is hierarchical, I have been tasked with The Silent King himself to restore our culture starting with my museum. I will have you know- no harm comes to those that I keep. They do not age, they do not die. A beast such as this, that would be fighting you to the death, this is the more peaceful option. It will not grow old. The Rak'Gol genetic curse upon it will be lifted, and it will bring joy to many who visit the gallery. Can you say that is really so bad compared to it looting and murdering as a tool to be used by the Ganth? Or to die to the beasts that come?" It still sounds like slavery, with many extra steps and benefits, but still slavery. Then you realize the first thing he said- his entire race has only known slavery. It is something that probably hasn't even occurred to him. You sigh.

"A sentient being should be able to live and die as they choose." You tell him emphatically.

"We did that once. Our entire race had short lives focused around death and dying. I can barely remember my own past, but I was focused around our history and taking care of dead phaerons. Our people, were so eager to live slightly longer that we sold ourselves- our own souls, to beings of raw power who could grant us freedom from our painful existence. I knew people that died before they could become as I am. Now, many of us wish we had. In a perfect Galaxy, in a galaxy ruled by those strong in mind and spirit, we would have no need for that. If you can offer this Rak'Gol, who would probably kill you for not only fun but something as trivial as one of your mortal sustenance chips, something better than an existence without the cruelty of this galaxy around it- then I will happily leave it in your care." The being says then the Rak'Gol looks at you and barely whispers

"Let him take me, let him leave with me. Do what you must before he decides to return and leave. Warn the other races that the necrons have returned." It says in such a low tone that you don't think the skeleton noticed.

"Do we have an accord?" The skeleton of metal asks.

"Aye. I cannot offer it something better." You lie and it looks like the being is smiling, it's so subtle you can hardly tell.

"Splendid! No harm will come of your kind and I will stop the stasis field. Who knows. We may meet again sometime." The being says and the Rak'Gol disappears. You think about things you could ask this being, but you realize the Rak'Gol of all things, had a point. The longer you linger here the more this being may try to do this sort of thing. And before you can even question it, it disappears.

Titus, the girls, his crew, everyone except Erihapti and (her recording cam) act like nothing happened.

"WHERE THE HELL DID THE RAK'GOL GO?" Meera shouts.

"Ya didn't notice the 8 foot tall skeleton made of metal in the room did ya." You say and everyone looks at you like your daft. Except Eriahpti who looks at your crew like they were dumb.

"Titus mate- we have to hurry. Do your broadcast as fast as you can so I can go out and help the others." You say.

"Why do you think they are encountering resistance?" Titus asks you.

"Mate I know it." You say.

"WHERE DO THEY KEEP GETTING RAK'GOLS! THEY ARE SUPPOSSED TO BE RARER THAN A PARADISE BIRD!" You shout supporting the chain breakers with some covering fire, how the hell did it get to this point? You take aim and sneer as you fire upon the Rak Gol. To be honest, the Adriathic Sniper Rifle really takes the skill out of most of this. The fact that Kolinaisi let you have it is just a sign of your skill.

"Nice shot Frank!" Kai shouts, and it was an ok shot. You have made better. He knows that. Though, it may be a sign of respect. You bound forward past where the Rak'Gol was standing, and the Chain Breakers as always, fight as a pack taking down various members of the Ganth. Then they bring another Dark Bringer. Fortunately there are none of the honor guard, so it's just annoying to deal with. It phases around like a shadow, but Tybro- in true island fashion - punches his weapon through the beings chest. Which gives you just enough time to shoot an actual skill shot.

A moment's hesitation would have probably gotten most of these chain breakers in trouble, maybe even dead.

But Dead Rak'Gol cannot be a threat. And the headless one falling around the corner is a testament to your skill.

"Advance!" Kai shouts and you pitch one of Mad Meera's 'bouncing ball' grenades and it goes off, killing something, but you do not have time to check.

You sprint to the overwatch position raise your rifle and fire one off at another one of the strange creatures that look like an Alligator and a Rak'gol had a kid, killing it before it can invade everyones mind again with absurd rambling.

Then IT steps around the corner.

Something you have been waiting to kill for years if you had seen another one and you fire without hesitation.

It's shield is up to fast, disappating the shot. It looks like this is going to be very messy.

A Trueborn Ganth Enslaver. This one decked out in the gear of a black judge.

It bleats out a roar. You have moments to react and throw down the white noise generator.

"DON'T LET IT SPEAK." You say and the chain breakers turn to you, and Tybro realizes what is going on and begins the assault by leaping at it and shoving something in it's mouth like a gag before he is thrown off.

"IS THAT A TRUEBORN ENSLAVER?" Kai shouts and you nod and his eyes grow wide.

-

>>5170355
"We'll take em down! You cover the corners!" Kai says and you throw down the toy that you made after Kolinaisi explained that the ship had friend or foe designators. So as a side project you made a turret that can cover your back. As soon as the chain breakers charge, various other Ganth low born run in. To their death. You fire upon them and make quick work of them. Then you see it.

Lightning fast, four arms, brightly colored with razor claws and running at Kai. You bring it down with your Rifle. And the next one. And the next one. One of them tries to come up from behind but is turned into chunky salsa by your turret. As the field flickers You see the breakers giving you a clean shot, so not to risk the lads you take out your pistol and give a clean head shot. The ganth falls to the floor.

"What were those?!" Tybro let's out, though he rarely speaks.

"Don't know- don't care. They were trying to kill you, so they had to die." You respond, you look down at the map that Kolinaisi made using the archeotech fromm the asteroid. The core- and the edge of the hallway was dead ahead. Roboute should be converging on it at the other side at any moment. The door begins moving, and is about to open.

Everyone get's back and you hop into an overwatch position.

As the door opens you see her, and the rest of Roboute's men. You smile at her, and she smiles back at you. Kai then gives you a slightly cross look. As if you hadn't saved his life 5 times already today.

Arona walks over.

"You're late." She says triumphantly.

"We had to deal with more heavy resistance." You say and Kai points to the strange bodies.

"We only had standard Ganth guardians and a few drukharii." Roboute says looking at the raw carnage on the ground.

"What are those?!" Arona says pointing to the brightly colored clawed creature.

"Lightning fast, razor sharp, and they seemed smart enough to arrange an ambush. So nasty." You say and Arona, while her father's head is turned pecks you on the cheek.

Why do you have to go to Nuceria?

Ah yes, the fate of everything with the Rangda there.

"These, need to be studied." Roboute says.

"Yeah, we still got to figure out what we are going to do here though. " You say, still unclear on the plan aside from clearing out the entire asteroid so this 'Perturabo' can get materials and somehow make this trip easier.

"Waiting till Kolinaisi says the broadcast is over, then we access the computer, see what is on the asteroids records, and maybe we will find Ganth Prime." Arona says. Maybe this bloody quest against the ganth will be over. That would be nice.

"How long should that take?" You ask and Roboute shrugs.

sudden genestealer patriarch go. I'd guess the witches would have already said if there's detectable psyker effects.

>>5170828
I don't know about the genestealers, they are atleast 5k years too early for the absolute first encountered.
The timeline got changed around 10 years ago right? That is way too short of a change for the scout hive ships to yeet themselves faster and start a cult big enough to call a splinter before Pharos lights up.

>>5170862
Now for the Hive Fleet as a whole heading our way, it makes sense, specially since the shard of the emperor nudging us could serve as an alternate beacon insteaf of Pharos, with the Astronomicon and all.
Unless the change happened before the start of the quest, of course.

>>5170862

There was very little way that this kind of thing happened, but you guys picked it.

Something happened earlier that either summoned the tyranids or caused them to move towards the milky way.

I did mention what happened, however I didn't say what it caused. You will have to go back and read it to figure it out. If you guys ask if [x] caused [y] I will be happy to let you know.

Doesn't mean Kolinaisi will know.

Maybe the old man can figure it out.

>>5171705
Ok, so out of the top of my head I can only think of Emperor's Shard fucking about potentially boosting the Astronomicon, the creation of scary box could have lightned up things, one of those events that the old man was inveatigating to what caused the timeline change, we chose the event horizon one but it could have been another. There was also Martin's oath and our Aedriatic giga beam, but they have been way too recent and the migration of the Saugth, Ragdan and Ganth has been happening for a while, unless they were doing it because of the Imperium moving and we just accelerated things.

>>5171744
Also might gave something to do with the viaion we had and picking the shark option, but I'm not so sure about that one.
If it was something we did, than the storm, the beam and getting the box is the best candidate.

Well irregardless, weve still got a long ass time before the nids even make it to our galaxy. Best hope its during a time the imperium is strong else everything is fucked. We may need to let the box god out.

You look at the cameras briefly, but you pause. You figure the best way to do this is a physical sweep and make absolutely sure that there is nothing in the hallway nearby.

As you enter around the corner- you let of a quick burst of shots. Whatever 'it' was is now no longer a threat, but there is no evidence of it either for Kolinaisi to throw in the fancy scanner of his. Working with imperials, yeesh. Maybe if they came here sooner this wouldn't be an issue. Then again, you maybe too hard on them. It takes a long time for anyone to get to the outer rim.

You look down at the ground, and aside from the scorch mark there is gore, from a likely ganth that had basically been destroyed by this beast. You check the rest of the open cells.

Nothing.

Then it strikes you- this was a prison transfer colony. Someone who had ships fast enough to go outside the galaxy would abduct things to sell to the ganth. So whatever is in here- makes a Rak'Gol look like Kolinaisi's pet stoat.

"Tybro" You call over to him and he, along with Charon walk over.

"Im going to investigate in here, if anything besides me comes out- without me- kill it." You say Charon looks concerned. Tybro, just makes a little noise and shrugs readying himself.

You kick open the door.

Or almost do.

You bounce back from it and Tybro laughs a little.

And points to the keys on the floor and passes them to you. Some observant operator you are. You pick them up and unlock the door with the key that looks like it was made for Kolinaisi with how huge it is. To be fair, most jail keys are big like this to make them harder to replicate. And lose.

After a quick turn and an opening of the hardened door you look inside. There are several empty cells. None of them open. And two cells that have something in them.

One has a strange beast similar to the ones on the floor, tied down and secured, and it has a huge thing over it's head that looks like some sort of foil of a black metal. It clearly has some psyker stuff going on, and has a large tag on the bottom near a tail that looks like a tracker.

The other makes your blood run cold.

It's the Selenar Gene Witch from Nuceria. The real one this time. The one whom is the very proof that evil exists. She has a blindfold over her eyes, a gag in her mouth, and also looks to be tied down. There is a sign above that is written in some sort of blood ' do not let her speak. do not uncover her eyes. do not take off any of the bindings. she only promises lies. . If she was standing up, she would be taller than Kolinaisi. Her artificial beauty is as haunting as you remember and honestly the only thing preventing your body from reacting is your absolute detestment of this creature not fit to be called a human. Your hand is on your gun.
-

>>5171856
Her atrocities are countless and you know them. You can name them. You know her story that makes the ganth look like petty delinquents. Any Justice done by a crowd or a court still wouldn't be good enough.

You have the rare opportunity. Her head is worth a planet to the imperials. You and Arona could live somewhere safe and run away from all this after everything is done. Or you could have a battleship, and end the ganth for good.

You know it's the wrong answer though. Kolinaisi needs to know the full extent of why she needs to die. All of them do. But are they strong enough? Do they have the will? You know the witches will. Kolinaisi will. Roboute and pete turbo or whatever new guys name is will. It's good that some of them haven't been exposed to that much of the galaxy. Yet

Tybro- will know.

Charon will know.

You sigh and scratch your head.

>> Ask Charon and Tybro their thoughts, then make a decision based off that.

>> Calmly walk out, close the door and inform Roboute and Kai. Tell Roboute everything. He isn't familiar with her, so he maybe able to have a good call. Kai will figure out soon enough.

The Event Horizon one is correct. That is what set off the nids. That and some race going in and out of the galaxy stealing things and using them for slaves has summoned the nids.

This has alerted the silent king, whom upon seeing Tyranid Movement returned hastily to the galaxy.

You have time to deal with the nids, but eventually, that time will come.

A captain should have the final say in an extrajudicial execution. Gotta make sure to stress just how incredibly fucking dangerous this being is. I guess we'll stand as witness and executioner if it comes down to it,

>>5171864
So the auberdin drive or whatever it's name was the culprit? This is bad, it means that the nids had the entire AoT and AoS to get here.
I wonder what race is doing this? The enslavers? Some obscure race mentioned in an old codex? An OC?

There is a lot of material to work with, but you guys will have a chance to find out.

"Cap. We have an issue." Comes through the comms and you look down at it.

"Go ahead Frank." You tell him. And you would regret you did.
-
"Cap. You are a good friend. I don't use that term lightly. I know, you are a friend to all on this ship. You are the best commander I have ever worked with. I have never had any doubts of your leadership, any doubts about your capacity, or any thought that you would have trouble pullin my ass from a fire. You are a leader of old. Something that is rarely talked about. They call ya a big man. You are a good man. A great man. A leader of hearts and minds. If there was ever a leader of hearts and minds, if there is ever a man I would follow to battle no matter what, it's you. And I aint the only one who thinks this." Frank says.

And you are worried. Nobody talks like this. He is preppin you.

"Stop butterin me up frank."

" When we were on Nuceria, there was a prisoner that I intentionally listed as high priority as possible. Some of yall laughed at it. They got killed cuz they were a lacramole." Frank says and you don't want this to dawn on you. You want good news. Not bad news.

"And?"

"There once was a woman from Selenar. Luna. The Moon. We don't take it for much, not many of us have much to care about what someone a ridiculous number of an insane measurement away thinks. I have been more places than any chain breaker. I, in my 29 years, have seen so much shit you, Kolinaisi Kaiko Wahthiri, RuaRua, captain of the something fierce has given me remit to operate as I see fit. Your uncle and daughter trust me." You say.

Now you wonder what he is about to say.

"Captain. I beg. I plea. I implore. There is a captured enemy in a prison hold. Before I list their crimes. Before I tell you who they are. I wish to ask you if I, since you know me, may kill them. Now. On principle."

The rest of those around you give you a mix of looks. Except Arona. Who comes up to you and holds your hand. Then Kai, looks at you and nods.

"Frank man, I don't allow a kill for any prisoner before we inspect. You know that. It aint right. " Once again. Living up to the story of the great man. You look down at the floor and Aroan holds your hand as Roboute, looks at you curiously. Sometimes, you wish you wish you could be silent. To speak of her crimes, was to hurt others.

"Very well. Kolinaisi. As your crewman. As your sniper. As your gunner. I will tell you the person I found. The woman from Luna. She has stolen the minds of over 10,000 men to use their blood for genestock to keep her youthful after murdering them and bathing in their blood. This is the first of her crimes." You say and everyone looks upon you.

=

>>5173915
"She would also utilize medical technology used to torture to extract actual happiness from people. She would capture a moment of joy and hope, after torturing people to capture this moment, and use it. To stimulate her mind in the way a base drug or product like Prometheum would. I do not have figures for this crime." You sigh out. You hold tight to Arona.

"She killed every member of her family at a banquet held in their honor by her, so that she may have head of household and monetary and business rights. Her immediate family consisted of 40 people. This includes her own children." You spit out reciting the facts that you know. You let go of Arona. You do not wish to hurt her.

"She would, frequently, hunt people for sport from her own palace, utilizing man drawn chariots. These people would often be related to the people running the chariot. This was something she would do weekly from her palace on Luna." You say and you try not to cry thinking of your brother Ryan. You try not to think of his smile as he boarded the shuttle. You try not to think of cousin Sean. You can feel your teeth grind thinking of Kayla and Maya.

"On occasions that number in the thousands, she would subcontract Ganth slavers to gather volunteers. Volunteers who would be transported to work as maids and butlers in her palace. Utilizing genetic technology she would have them work themselves to almost death. Upon their weakening, she would offer themselves an opportunity to redeem themselves from failure. This would be the form of a physical exercise. If they could climb a ladder doing a simple pull-up / chin-up technique from a certain height- they would be redeemed. If they were not redeemed they would be made into protein paste for her other servants." You say, your vision only a tunnel focused on the simple computer in front of you. You feel hands. You hear noises. But that isn't it. You need to tell the whole story.

" Those who were redeemed by her, would live on to become her paramores. She would install loyalty collars similar to those seen on Nuceria and make sure that they would be her servants no matter how poor the circumstance. Those who became her servants, would have to perform brutal tasks. Serving food after walking hallways barefoot on broken glass, making beds while stinging insects would be encouraged to swarm, made to clean areas while venomous creatures and explosives were placed in the area to be cleaned, kill anyone she fornicated with more than six times, and have people sing while inhaling poison gas." You are shaking. You are not sure if the comm still works from how you are holding it.

>>5173917
"On average, she would kill twenty to forty people a day. Most of these were people that fled to her employ. Now that I have discussed her domestic and civil crimes I wish to discuss her other crimes." You say and you hear the click of Kolinaisi preparing to answer- but you don't care. Those that died need a voice so you hit the emergency over ride.

"In the grander scale, she was a prominent geneticist, in the literal sense. In reality she would experiment on people in ways that shouldn't be said, but need to be. To remember the fallen. For experimentation, she would often, for her benefit have organs grafted on the outside of subjects that were offered a safe pay and money. This was done so that if she ever needed an organ she could have it. However, frequently, she would remove organs from those she did this procedure, only to tell those she removed organs from, what organs were removed. After this she would, often, have people missing organs be stationed with others who were growing the organ they were missing. If my memory serves- 50% of the time this lead to brutal murder. The other 50% of the time lead to intrigue worse than the murders, where multiple people would carry out plots and harvesting of organs or legitimate operation. These organs, however, were often tainted or corrupted. So 85% of all organ carriers would die, trying to replace their missing organ. " You spit. There is some blood.

"Another one of her experiments involved children. She would specifically breed people, for reasons unknown to me, for the purpose of developing distinct mutations. Commonly she would develop natural strains of dna for people with unique mutation.. These would be things like golden eyes, blue skin, fangs, odd hair coloration, etc. She would, upon maturity, harvest their genetic material. And if she found them worthwhile enough, sell them into slavery. If not, she would host frequent gladiatorial games." You say. And now you must say it.
-

>>5173919

"Her most damning of crime was testing atomic weaponry upon refugees who would try to use transport ships to Terra, and making spectacle of the atomic weapon firing. Including sentencing several to death by strapping them to the weapon." You say before sneering

"She was able to accomplish this before by enhancing her body to were she would have abilities similar to a psyker without having psyker abilities. She can, with a glance cause a mine to be suggestive, with a touch cause a body to become feeble, with a whisper cause mental instability and with a kiss cause death. These things I know. I have lost family to her ways, and her affliction." You say.

Your vision returns back to you. Everyone. Even Roboute, looks a bit anger. Arona has tears.

Erihapti is, in all of her serene wisdom trying to keep you calm. Meera is next to you holding your hand. Titus looks as if he has seen a ghost.

It is to you, Kolinaisi- to pass judgement.
