Oh boy, how many people have been waiting for this one?

[Flint13]

Ha! Is there anything less 8th legion than swearing an oath to a cause other than self-serving pragmatism?

 

Any attachments are a detriment and a weakness to be exploited. Like hell I'm doing that.

 

I'll totally show up and paint a bro though.

Probably :D

[Barabbas Sogalon]

From the depths of Unification.

[Balthamal]

You were given a choice mortal. You believe you were any different to a thousand other worlds? We are not forgiving yet we stayed our hands. You do not find us merciful? All the prevaricating, the pointless debating, the anguish of uncertainty, we took that from you. We spared you that, we saved you from that. After all it is an agreeable choice is it not? The knee, or the fire. Such a small gesture, would it be so terrible? Your loyalty for your lives? To live in the light of the Emperor evermore? Yet you clung to pride, you, worthless worms dared bargain with those beneath us and had the temerity to be pacified. You goaded us, you kicked a rabid animal and trusted it's leash to hold whilst you basked in the Emperor's light.

But we are not the false emperor's light. We are the dark. The dark is generous for we give you truth in a life of deceit and falsehood. The Emperor's light was a lie. The Emperor was a lie, an enslaver who dared claim godhood over those who bled the galaxy at his whim. The dark is patient. One hundred and forty six years we have waited to return here. Even stars burn out eventually. In the dark we shall keep you. Your pride we will take first, to show you the price of hubris. Your children next. Then your freedom. Then your dignity. You will beg us, relentlessly, to slay you or break someone in your place. We shall take your hope last. Else how can you know true despair. And when your despair is only thing left to you, the real pain shall begin.

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Balthamal, who is that going to be?

[Flint13]

Ugh, its been awhile. Let's see if I still got this.

 

++Audio-log, GH382. Sub-32: 1.768.008.M31++

 

Authorized, Gamma-Espilon-Tau-Rho-Epsilon-Kappa.

 

Record Engage:

 

 

Warden-General Harlon Locke - "Tell me of your time before you came to the legion. There must have been a time when you were... not yet disillusioned."

 

Prisoner 6L914T13 - "But of course. Like all the other children, I wanted to grow up to become a mighty Astartes. I could crusade amongst the stars, bringing peace and Imperial enlightenment to the poor, lost colonies of humanity."

 

HL - "And what happened, prisoner?"

 

P6 - "The Thirteenth wasn't recruiting."

HL - "When did you know you had the gift?"

 

P6 - "The Coven wytches wracked it out of me. Seven hundred sixty two hours and forty seven minutes until it manifested again. Stronger than they had expected too."

 

HL - "Yes... we have records of your first... escape."

 

P6 - "I think I bled at least three of them. They were looking forward to putting me through the rest of the induction process."

 

 
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/923/L4xULy.jpg

 

 

HL - "But you survived the induction and were initiated into the Librarium."

 

P6 - "That wasn't a question. It would have been a stupid one."

 

HL - "No... it wasn't. But your gift. It was rare among the Covens of the Eighth, was it not?"

 

P6 - "They said it was my Terran blood. Or the years of eating dung and irradiated rat carcasses. Honestly it could have gone either way."

 

 

 

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/923/OXTvug.jpg

 

 

HL - "But you came to blows with some of the Coven. There were attempts on your life. They feared your power?"

 

P6 - "Hardly. The Dreameater wytches had been scrying and divining for decades before I came to them. I was a young idiot."

 

HL - "Yes, you were one of the last of the Terran induction. But why did you cause such a problem among the ranks?"

 

P6 - "The Coven was old and set in its ways, but even in a Nostraman heart, there is still a sort of twisted pride. There were several ambitiously martial pre-cogs among them. They hated that I was too fast to for them to cheat their way to third blood."

 

HL - "Your brothers made multiple attempts on your life because you beat some of them in sparring matchs? That sounds ludicrous."

 

*** Log records pause of roughly twenty seconds***

 

P6 - "Are you positive you've actually read my file?"

 

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/922/ocgaBJ.jpg

 

 

HL - "Prisoner, I haven't seen a single indication that you are even fit for a psych-stab certification, much less release. Can you give me any reason whatsoever not to have you disposed of to save the cost to my facility of keeping you alive?"

 

P6 - "If I was released, I'd go back to murdering my worthless kin, or any bastard sorry enough to be standing between me and one of them at the time. Seeing as that's why I'm in these... charming accommodations... no. Not a single one."

 

HL - "Yes, well, unfortunately for absolutely everyone involved besides yourself, the order comes from far higher in the Imperium's command structure than I am at liberty to disclose."

 

P6 - "Or comprehend."

 

HL - "Quite. Your trappings have been removed to a secure location two miles from the facility's south gate. You are to proceed straight to the designated location and await further instructions."

 

P6 - "And the wytch-shackles?"

 

HL - "They will be removed upon your departure from the South gate. Any attempt to harm a warden, any overtly hostile action or attempt to manifest your gifts before you reach said designated location, and you will immediately be put down by snipers. Am I clear?

 

P6 - "As an Ultramarine's conscience."

@BCK - That's going to be my new Duke of Blades. Got the plasma pistol sorted (eventually, was amazingly awkward to do with the posture of the arm) and just need to make some alterations to the shoulder pad trophies and add a couple more in before I'm happy.

 

@Flint - Girl, you still got it

[Balthamal]
