If you're going Xenos-tech, do it right; Make it a Power Fist, Vox Operated, then. Not a sword.

What? Nabbing one of his shards, using science on it to make it work for us, killing a demon with it, then keeping it as a souvenir?

The Eldar might have some minor complaints about this, but we've decided they're jerks who probably don't want us to have nice things and conquer the universe, so they can go write brooding poetry about it somewhere else if they don't like it.

Pick up the Sword and the exarch in our soulstone will call on the avatar to infest us.

Which pair would we give the sword to? Unwilling test subjects or feline cops? I'd say unwilling test subjects as a way to continue the test subject trend.

This is something we shouldn't gently caress around with and should have our most qualified people try to contain immediately. That means Fabiyan, unfortunately.

Nononono. Don't give the sword to Fabiyan, he's already effectively the avatar of the Emperor. Take it ourself. Become the avatar of Khaela Mensha Khaine, and ally with the eldar (literally being the avatar of one of their gods should help) against the real enemy. Then we can go double team Slaanesh with Fabiyan. Slaanesh punked Khaine and it's not like the Imperium is doing a lot fo succeeding either, but we could at least locally turn the situation from a free for all to a team match instead, and since it would be us and Fabiyan doing the divine avatar -ing we'd have the ~power of love~ on our side or something. This is the holiday arc beach episode goddammit, we can do a corny scene or two.

Also Lowell said it would be easier for him to write if we did it like that, so just play along, ok?

VVV if you can't beat them, use them as a bludgeon against your other, nastier foe. Alternatively, the enemy of my enemy is my rage-fueled metal avatar of death. VVV

Major powers refusing to work together/sabotaging eachother is the sort of thing that keeps the 40k world from ever improving. This is an opportunity to change that, with the strength of Khaine and the strength of the Emperor working in concert.

Won' t there be issues if one part of the power couple is a gigantic molten demon, whose only purpose is to kill enemies of the Eldar? I am all for further allying ourselves with our Eldar brothers and sisters, i am just saying there will be a few problems to solve.

I heard an interesting little snippet on Morning Edition before work about how dating websites don't do much to introduce people to folks that are different in meaningful and exciting ways. Sometimes shaking things up can lead to great relationships!

Eh, humans aren't really enemies of the eldar in the same way chaos and necrons and tyranids are, so I'm sure we can end up in a situation where the best way for the god-fragment (which I would like to emphasise is just a fragment, not the whole Khaine assuming direct control over us) to get what it wants is to not attempt to assume direct control over the metal avatar of war and anger Ohone.

Remember, the single-mindedness is usual, but it's also what happens when the host is already single-mindedly devoted to the point where they can't even really change their methods any more (Avatars of Khaine tend to be aspect warrior exarchs, ie eldar who have been on a specific militant Path for so long they've gotten stuck on it and can't do the usual eldar thing of changing fields every now and then due to having become excessively focused).

Plan Tran, which, as I understand, is letting the emperor's power contain any xeno fuckery. Like, if it were a human god or machine (cough, Athena), it would be perfectally acceptable to become its avatar, but this is poncy Eldar bullshit, and doesn't deserve to have a living avatar of it.

Well, I guess to be fair, the vote is "we go in the door" or "Fabiyan goes in the door" and then we all have wild hopes about how that plays out.

Realizations

The ancient door crumbled before you as if it had been waiting for your presence. A barricade millennia in the making, hidden in the depths of a paradise world - undiscovered even as the animals strode above it, and built their cities. This was your destiny, your fate - the sacrifice of your soul for the reincarnation of Khaine the Bloody-Handed. And next to you, a similar martyr - a sacrifice to his own god, eternally dying on Terra.

This was not the vault you had described to your host - a pitiful armoury, she thought she would use it against She Who Thirsts. No indeed - you had guided her ever so subtly to the heart of things, the World Spirit. Normally, bringing them to this place would be the most Anathema, something worth surrendering to the Fallen to avoid. But the Seers had been quite strict in their orders - bring the mon-keighs here, and reach the Wailing Doom. The weapon that would devour your soul, and fuel the Avatar of your god.

The vault was a hundred meters high, kilometers long and wide - a cavernous world of wraithbone, grown into the very crust of the planet itself. Technologies undreamed of on Terra murmured to themselves, still continuing their ancient tasks. Through them, around them - the World-Spirit, what was called the Infinity Circuit. A thousand thousand souls of Eldar, dreaming their way through kilometers of machinery that was art, art that was machine. That which the animals had named a ‘demon-engine’, in their ignorance.

It was from here that Paradise was maintained. And it was here that you would find the serpent, and cut it down with a sword of fire.

You paused, even as your companions fell in behind you. That was … an odd thought. A human one. Who were you? Your mind reached for descriptors, even as the machines burst in front of you, Eldar souls howling into the blackness. A figure of unholy light, sickly and radiant, floating in perfect beauty. Its face distended in a cavernous maw, gluttonously devouring them.

A flash of a thought flickered through your/your mind. Seers could be deceived, and you were the only one who could open this place. . .
