• Where is the social

• Can you identify where
elements of difference

been used to
oppress/marginalize/disc

• Is there any
intersectionality of

oppression?

• Review the social

Slice of Life LIII

The Astronomicon flickered.

A beam of psyker energy seventy thousand light years long, it was the living embodiment of the God-Emperor. It had never failed, never stopped. It was the only way to navigate the Warp - and it was gone. In what was known as the Rupture (and later, the First Rupture), the Astronomicon was gone. Millions of ships suddenly found themselves sailing without a guide.

Dark Horse

As Ohone is about to drop the rod in, a voice comes out of the corpse god, hoarse and LOUD! :iiam:












Emperor:
I knew you were
You were gonna come to me
And here you are
But you better choose carefully
'Cause I'm capable of anything
Of anything and everything

Show me your Athena's only
Make me your one most Holy
But don't make me your enemy, your enemy, your enemy

So you wanna play with magic
Ohone, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse

Are you ready for, ready for
A psyker storm, a psyker storm
'Cause once Online, once Online
There's no going back

Mark my words
This Faith will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
But down Terra
If you choose to walk away, don't walk away

It's in the palm of your hand now baby
It's a yes or no, no maybe
So just be sure before you give it up to me
Up to me, give it up to me

So you wanna play with magic
Ohone, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A psyker storm, a psyker storm
'Cause once Online, once Online
There's no going back

Custodes:
He's a beast
Called Omnissiah
He eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead him on
Shawty's heart was on steroids
'Cause his hope was so strong

You may fall in awe
When you meet him
If you get the chance you better keep him
Alive, he's sweet as pie, but if you break his heart
he'll turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining armor
He can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put him in a coma

Woo! drat I worship him
Shawty so bad
I'm sprung and I don't care
He got me like a roller coaster
Turn the Throne room into a fair
His energy's like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But big papa so dope
I messed around and got addicted

Emperor:
So you wanna play with magic
Ohone, you should know whatcha falling for
Baby do you dare to do this
'Cause I'm coming atcha like a dark horse
Are you ready for, ready for
A psyker storm, a psyker storm
'Cause once Online, one Online
There's no going back

Current: 382,523

Faith +1

The Second Rupture, as it became to be known, happened perhaps six months after the first, Terra subjective time. The Warp being what it was, ships shifting backwards and forwards through time, some said it was a difference of years, or the second came before the first, or whatever. The Navigators claimed to know the taste of the difference, although no one else could say for sure.

If one flicker was momentous, a second flicker nearly brought the Imperium to its knees. One flicker could be a test of faith, a curse on the unworthy. A second flicker meant something was going wrong. Riots broke out on half a million worlds, governors hung from lampposts, and trillions of people were shot by lasguns or brought down under the weight of bricks.

The Imperial Fleet, the vast majority of it, was in the Warp when it happened.

Many fleets heaved to, went back to real space, hoped to wait out … whatever it was. Some were unable to do so, being too near a planet or a star, and were forced to float through the Warp without guidance. As long as recyclers and Gellar fields worked, these ‘ghost fleets’, as they came to be known, might wander the Warp for years, decades. For nearly a millennium, forward and back, fleets would come out of the Warp, adrift in time.

Many ships couldn’t wait that long. Food failed, water failed, the Gellar fields failed. Each ship was a city, a complex and fickle thing, and small errors could accumulate. Millions of ships, already suffering the wear and tear of a sudden launch order, were unable to handle the stress, and were lost to the Warp. Even before their arrival at Golgotha, the Imperial Navy had suffered the most grievous losses since the Horus Heresy.

-

You crawled out of the mess of pipes, looked at Athena. “Did anything happen?”
She shrugged. “It’s a big machine, it will probably take a few months to see anything.”
“I suppose. I guess … head back to the Primarch? Ready the ship for Golgotha?”
She shrugged again. “Sure. I’ve seen what I needed to.”
