Todays music: Metallica’s Thing that Should Not Be Half a league, half a league Was the maw floating in the sky? No, it was a vast pit, an abyss, and you were falling towards it. Tendrils of psyker energy twisted and curled, kilometers long, battered to and fro by the vast armies you had conjured out of nothing. Beside you, around you, an entire city of the Eldar, bent to your will. You had told them to protect the souls, and so they would, battling Gorgon on its own territory. Prior to this, Gorgon had been devouring souls in a steady stream, always just enough that they could be digested. Your city fell on the maw as a sledgehammer, smashing teeth, forcing open the metaphorical throat. The Eldar were bent to one will, yours, and you demanded their strength in your struggle with this abomination. Long did you fall. Color vanished, simply a sheen of black. The void of stars? The emptiness of a digestive track? Who could say. You heard the crunching and squishing noises as the souls ahead of you were broken down into emotions, dreams, separated from anything composed of an identity. You could feel the walls around you attempt the same, only your unity of will kept them away. An army of Eldar, forming a legion of locked shield walls. Not for you, the loss of thought, of memories. Sudden brightness. Too bright, a gaudy and saturated technicolor, unpleasant to even look at. You covered your eyes with your arm, and almost thought you could see the bones through the skin. Everything was too bright here, too real, and the smell was overpowering. It brought back lingering memories, of your first encounter with Mother - deep below the earth. An army of Eldar at your back, slowly spreading out along the road that wrapped the city of Subsix. They seemed muted, dull - black and white images badly drawn in the real world. This place felt - was - more real than anything you encountered in your day to day life, and every sense was overwhelmed by it. What do you do?

Seal every tunnel, destroy every machine. Bury her mind in the imagined rubble of the memory. Cut off the light of the astronomicon. Replace it with a horrific golden face. This is Mother's memory. She's understandably fixated on her long imprisonment. However, if we're here then perhaps we can alter it. Make it a mocking statement of the new prison of her own choosing. Ideally we'll cause a bit of division between the ranks, though we'll settle for simply making her angry enough to confront us.

I don't think we have world-altering power here. If you mean deface and wreck things as we march on Mother's prison/psyche/mind/heart/whatever, I'm down. But this isn't our turf, and I don't think we get shape the playing field anymore. Whatever we do, I think we should do it quickly. "They seemed muted, dull - black and white images badly drawn in the real world.

Destruction, and resurrection By your will, the machines were cast down. You knew that the memories of this place had last for thousands of years, and they were etched indelibly on the mind of the person you had known as Mother. The recyclers, processors, lights and water treatment pipes were torn apart by Eldar with grim faces - pale shadows in a world of too much color. Your line of troops were like carpenter ants, destroying everything in its path. Houses were turned to rubble, machines turned to debris, and all the remnants stomped into the dust. As you approached the center of the city, things began to become more surreal, more macabre. The tiles of the street were Eldar faces, horrifically still alive. The walls of the buildings were stretched thin with the bodies of Subsixers. And still your army attempted their deconstruction, even if they wept bitter tears to do it. It was hard to tell how much time had passed, in this place, but at some point you heard a gong. It vibrated through the air, like a sonar ping in deep water, and all paused to hear it. You and the Exarchs prepared your weapons, looking about for some enemy, and you saw one. A single human, small in stature, walking down the road without a care in the world. Tanya.

That's what my reference to Ynnead was about, since they're the nascent Eldar God of the dead, which is what a bunch of the Craftworld Eldar are working towards with their soulstones and Infinity Circuits. Since almost all the Eldar gods are dead, killed in the War in Heaven or when they birthed Slannesh, the Craftworld Eldar want to create an Eldar god of the dead that can challenge Slannesh on her own terms and win, reversing the Eldar's slide into mortality and setting up their end game win condition. We don't have nearly enough Eldar souls to do that here though. GhostStalker fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Aug 19, 2015 |

I don't think it works like that, you'd need a lot more Eldar souls and Infinity Circuits in the same place to do so. Besides, why would the entirety of the Craftworld Eldar sacrifice themselves to help out a bunch of Mon'keigh, in a ritual not overseen by their Farseers and might not form Ynnead anyway, and if it did, leave them under the control of Ohone?

The dead should stay dead You closed your eyes briefly. Tanya - and a dozen others of your closest friends - had died at Footfall. Your fault. That Gorgon was using a memory of her to torment you … well, it would pay dearly for the presumption. You raised your implanted hellgun, fired. The plasma blast shot across the courtyard, taking Tanya in the chest, knocking her down like a ragdoll. A hole the size of your fist smoked on her back. You took a deep breath. How many friends had died because of you? And then she stood. Of course. Probably one of the walking dead Gorgon was so fond of. You raised your hellgun again, and Tanya raised her hand, palm towards you. “General, a word.” She was smiling slightly, that familiar confidence that you remembered from the elevator shaft. You held your fire for a moment. “You are dead. An illusion.” “Dead, yes. An illusion, no. This is a place of souls, is it not?” “Human souls go to the God-Emperor on Terra, unless they are cultists of the Great Enemy.” “In most cases, yes. But I - and the Subsixers - worshipped Mother all our lives. When we died, and she had risen out of the depths, where do you think our souls went?” “So you are really Tanya.” You said skeptically. “Indeed I am. And Mother would like to discuss terms with you. Unless you would like to continue destroying the neighborhood, of course.” “I don’t make deals with the Great Enemy.” “We aren’t asking you to.” “You are possessed by a daemon.” Her eyes flickered gold. “Ah, there you are wrong. We are the ones doing the possessing.” If anything, your tone became more skeptical. “You possessed a daemon.” “Yup. Such an eager young thing, so eager for revenge. And when it came to us, thinking to gain a psyker-host, we gobbled it right up. It wasn’t expecting a fight, and we have eaten many psykers over the years.” “That is literally unbelievable, but sure. What terms do you plan to offer, and then get turned down?” “Well, firstly, we would like to offer you Tanya’s soul. We can put it in any body you find convenient, either the empty memetic hosts, or if you like, one of the Sisters. It doesn’t really matter.” “Uh huh. Why would you give up a soul? You eat them.” “A show of good faith. While we won’t claim to be allies, we aren’t enemies. You released us from the cage, and we have your friend here.” “I’ve found that making deals that I can’t enforce doesn’t end well.” “Ah yes, your conversation with Anastasia. An interesting specimen. Consider this, instead. Have we ever lied to you, betrayed you? Done anything to harm your Family’s interests? We even destroyed a rival for you.” “Yeah, I saw that. You created a memetic hazard, nearly destroyed Golgotha.” Tanya laughed. “As if your message to Terra won’t.” What do you do?

" Gold Eyes betray your lies. Temptation, Abraxus, only works on the wanting. We are fulfilled by His light. Suffer not the heretic to live, the mutant, the psyker. Pray for the Emperor's forgiveness abomination. Now burn." Then double the efforts to destroy this place, focus all our mental thoughts and by extension our army's on the food vat. A swirling pot not of chaos but of burning and cleansing bleach. This is our territory now.

If this is Mother's memory... shouldn't there be a Psyder somewhere? This was the one thing keeping her trapped, if you recall. Let's find the memory-Psyder and get knitting. Fight Mother with her own nightmare, made real in sacred binary. Also, if we encounter any Subsixers' souls that have been taken here as part of Mother's psyche, didn't she technically tell them to be loyal to us? They should turn on her based on her own orders. Just a thought. e: To clarify, if we find Tanya here, we should also rescue her soul. Just on principle.  ee: To further clarify, I'd missed that last post before posting. I'm gonna say we seek out the Psyder still, and make a net of web to drag the souls out of Mother's mind. Then suffer not the heretic, the xeno, the psyker to live. That said, good on them possessing our oldest foe! Makes it easier to kill them both. mepstein73 fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Aug 19, 2015 |
