It is said that those that enter the great ship, live differently than those on other deep space crafts., for the security within it was completely different, metal halls and ceramic corridors led to empty paths where no mortal could ever hope to walk in, it was here where the remaining guardians of hell remained.
Whenever a ship is added to the great ark, there is always a chance that something can slip in and begin to cause all sorts of corruption.
At one point the guardians of hell would punish the souls of the dammed, however, when the warps energy combined with hells own dark powers, the creatures were completely overwhelmed by the dangerous souls of the dammed.
Now whatever few remained, simply roamed the dark corridors between the small openings of every ship attached to the ark, looking for any reason, alien or machine that should not be there.
Each guardian was as strong as any meet sea on, but there were those who far surpassed all of those amongst their kind, these were those who had witnessed hell completely fuse with the warp and whatever souls remained within it be devoured by demons and operations alike.
It is said that they far surpass even a seam on prince in sheer power and have been known to leave the ship, just to go out hunting for every season within the warp. No one knows if this is true, but the warp seems to twist upon itself from time to time, as if it announcing when the guardian enters the warp.
Behind this level of protection are the Hollows, corrupted human souls one of the allies Humanity has within the spirit realms, capable of entering even the most savage and brutal realms the ship might encounter, as well as acting as a security force, it is they that maintain the souls of the dead in line.
Few in number they may be, but their power cannot be questioned, capable of devouring demons and becoming stronger because of it, caused nearly all animalistic hollows to reclaim their memories and with them their humanity.
But a hollow is not a single soul, but many so their once mighty army became a powerhouse of a few billion.
For this power, the Emperor, as well as the captain, granted them enough leeway to be able to walk through each floor, yet even they do not compare to the levels of power that exist deeper within the ark.
Human, as well as alien gods, dwell within the great ark, all cower within the emperor's sight one by one they are either vanishing for existence or being killed by some unknown means, few, however, believe that the emperor and the captain are slowly draining their powers, adding them to their own, whether this is true no one will ever truly know.
Finally, the last line of defense is the great council, composed of the captain, the emperor, the machine spirit and the eldar God of death, the eldar goddess of fertility and their two servants. There is another who willingly stepped down from his position and now acts as nothing more than a cost jester.
Time and space work differently within the ark, as the deeper one goes the less and less they see of the mechanical walls that at one point protected them. No instead they find an endless world, that is either overpopulated or doesn't have a single living being besides animals and plants, depending on where they arrived.
Whether this is because of the numerous worlds used to build the ark or the gods powers, no one will ever truly know and yet even long before a person reaches this location they are met with an even stranger anomaly.
At a certain point, the walls of the ship become a ceiling, yet many do not see it and it is said that people are now living inside floors that do not exist, do to the combined power of the telepathy onboard, combined with the cleansing powers of the gods, a stable warp bubble has been created, making it even more impossible to truly determine the size of the ship.
Yet time flows differently in each floor, for there are people within the ship that are as old as the first pieces of steel that were welded together all of those years ago and have not aged a day.
There are others that are said to have existed one day and vanish before releasing as elderly individuals with that have their entire families from wives to great, great, grandchildren besides them.
Yet still, the ship moves, it's destination, only the Emperor and the captain know, it is said that the area of space that the ark left behind is now trapped inside constant warp storms that come and go, each time leaving behind worlds that cry out for salvation.
Yet neither the captain or the Emperor turn to look their way, for they were the very souls that chose to follow chaos so long ago.
Finally, the ark arrives at its destination the edge of space, dozens of different faster the light's had been used to arrive here on time and the last remaining group has joined the create fleet, the Necrons the ancient mechanical enemy's of life have joined and in a single burst of power the many faster than light's combine with the neurons own, finally leaving their old area of space behind.
Soon the ancient machine race will begin to fuse with the ark, until they and the ark are one and the same, yet even now their many C'tan shards, tremble with rage, as they are taken further and further away from the rest of their still lost fragments.
The journey will be long and few will live to see its end, but when it does end the create journey will ensure everyone's survival.
