so, i found out why the black templars haven't been committing acts of arson on the ships crew.
so, you remember how the emperor can communicate with a text to speech device?
no?
i'll fill you in later on.
but anyway, the emperor hosted a voxcast session in order to teach us lowly mortals about...stuff, i guess.
well, in the latest voxcast, the high marshal of the black templars was brought to the emperor personally.
the dressing down that happened was legendary.
hellbrecht, the high marshal, went into the throne room raging and screaming.
when he left, there was a distinct lack of the aformentioned raging and screaming.
basically, the emperor told the black templars to stop blasting linkin loyalists and purging inoccent people, and to actually help the populace.
which worked.
the black templars on the ship have just been sitting around, training and generally being a surprisingly decent bunch!
they aren't salamanders level nice, but they are getting there.
hell, i saw a templar greet the astropath. they never do that!
maybe this trip won't as bad as i thought.
hopefully.
2 weeks have gone by since i last wrote in this book. and holy shit was it a wild ride.
we finally arrived at our destination.
which was under siege by dark eldar.
i'm fairly certain my screams of rage mad khorn proud.
if i haven't said it enough. i fucking hate the eldar. more than i hate MRE's.
which tastes like someone ground up a dead body and sprinkled salt on it.
ugghh.
back to the story.
so we make planetfall after destroying the blockade, which was pitiful if i'm being truthful.
once we landed, we were almost turned into mush by panicking civies, thinking we were here to rescue them, which we were mind you, but not in a rinky dinky drop ship.
they backed off pretty fast when they saw the black templars though.
we make our way through the refugee camp to where the planetary governer was at. which was when we got the biggest surpirse of the millenium.
i was expecting the governer to be some fat, bald man dressed in robes and drinking from a jewel incrusted goblet.
what we instead got was caiphas cain.
WHAT THE FUCK!?
turns out that the hero of the imperium had killed the previous owner of the planet after it turned out he was tainted with chaos. with no other person suitable for leadership, he was elected governer.
even the templars were surprised at this revelation.
needless to say, the invasion didn't last much longer. infact, as i write this, i am currently on a dropship to deal with the eldar remmnants.
i also heard some rumors that cain will be joining our fleet.
i hope he does, victory is assured when he is with us.
with how good things have been going recently, i wouldn't be surprised if the primarch guilliman woke from his slumber to lead the imperium once more.
heres hoping.
though i have noticed something. our fleet is getting progressivly larger, we have millions of guardsmen, a chapters worth of black templars, caiphas cain himeself.
we also have a couple inquisitors with us.
something big is going on.
something really big.
and it's no secret that we have been going in the direction of the eye of terror.
i have a hunch about what's going on.
i hope to the emperor that i'm wrong.
but i think that a new black crusade is coming.
i hope i'm wrong, i hope this is just a coincidence.
but knowing my shitty luck.
well.
shit.
I'm going to stop now, get some shut eye.
hopefully the dark eldar will roll over and let us kill them.
hopefully.
