Gah! Are we dead?

Not that we need it but we've become so much machine, do we really need our body to survive? Won't our cogs go into sleep mode and our fleshy bits drop to stasis?

The human brain can survive around 3 minutes without oxygen before brain damage sets in.

RIP Fate point and Matty :(

One of them finally undoes his gas mask and we find out they're just really skinny/short orks. Would make sense. They were only following orders because they got to krump all the time.

Our divine mandate has been granted. We go now to His angel, our goddess, and begin to cleanse the filth of this world.

I'd think they don't let Krieg become space marines for the same reason Superman is a boring protagonist.

First thing we say the moment we awake and see Fabiyan: "I guess we're even now."

Mind you, if this IS the grace of the God-Emperor, one wonders if he is tacitly sanctioning our dealings with Athena, the Eldar, and everything else, or if he's just going "Well, according to my analysis everything will go completely pear-shaped if she dies here so much as I dislike it let's have her back." Or possibly even going "I don't think much of her, but Fabiyan's a good bloke, so let's let him have this."

Sometimes, you can't help but think that gods could stand to be a little more explicit in their messaging.

Oasx posted:

There is the possibility that it isn't the Emperor exactly performing the miracles, but the belief structure that the Imperium has built around him - i.e. humanity as a whole believes the God-Emperor watches over them, and so over time something based on the Emperor but not exactly him has come to be.

Xun is watching me write this

You opened your eyes, blinked. Fabiyan was looking down at you, framed by a set of wings, his face glowing with a vitality you had never seen. Around you, a dozen Krieger gas masks were surrounding you. You felt your neck, confused. You remembered flying across the room, thinking you were dying....

“Fabiyan? Are we dead?”
He almost smiled. “Briefly. The God-Emperor brought you back.”
Skepticism filled your voice. “Really. Personally.”
He flared his wings, met your eyes.
“Okay, maybe so. We won?”
“Yeah. They are both dead.”
“You got them both?”
“By the God-Emperor’s Grace, yeah.”
“Hell of a thing.”
“Yeah.”
“What do we do now?”
“Rebuild, I guess. We’re still heading for Titan.”
You gripped his arm. “Oh, Saints. I did something stupid.”
“Well, yeah. You got yourself killed.” He poked your shoulder.
“No, not that. Well, besides that.”
He looked at you. “What, then?”
“I need to go through her files. And rally up a HQ team. Limosa, Edourd. Whoever you think we need.”
“What is it?”
“If I’m right… everything.”

Who is in your Retinue/HQ team?

That can be arranged. We may not be a Biologis, but I'm sure we can think of something.

Edit: Do we want to take Devries out of his simulation, or do we hilariously want to keep him inside the sim so that he thinks everything is happening in a world where he and we are having buddy-cop dwarf adventures and our questions are related to said adventures?

You did. We Matrixed him into thinking that happened, but he remains a brain in a jar.

No, Dwarf is alive and well, Devries is stuck in a box living in a virtual reality under the mistaken impression of what you thought.

I just want to keep Devries locked in the simulation so that we can check up on him every so often to see how the Buddy Cop Adventures of Dwarf Devries and Lord-Sire Ohone is going. Maybe tweak it so that he keeps having small, unimportant runs of bad luck for giggles.

Odds are good he's probably already figured out he's in a simulation anyways, but decided "gently caress it, why would I care about returning to the real world of being a brain in a jar anyways?"
