I spent years in fighting bloodier than anything the Pendulum has seen outside of maybe the ground combat on Floseswin—I’m still not sure they’ve matched the ‘millions dead in twenty minutes of local time’ that B-R, X-47, and M2-XFE reached, but if anywhere did, that was it. Over a hundred thirty of ‘me’ have died in that fighting, in everything from Corvettes to Carriers and Force Auxiliaries, and I can’t count the number of lives I’ve seen lost.
I’m tired of war, tired of all of the senseless, stupid death, and all of the nonsense that goes with it. And if I wasn’t, I’d be flying for the Republic.
Clusterwide, mysterious disruptions to communications systems can only have a supernatural origin. This is a sign of the coming of the True Emperor. Repent, sinners, for the restoration of all things is at hand!
Really? … but it seems as though you might start to wonder about that supposed gift of prophecy and whether and how much you (or anyone) should really rely on it.
In retrospect… I don’t think he did. I think the singular thread through it all is ‘I am the chosen one and I can speak for God’, and everything else is just the latest set of rationalizations for why Mr. Superspecial can’t seem to get a girl.
That’s something that resurfaced after Ms. Tsukiyo persuaded him he didn’t need to worry about his own cursed ego. There was an interregnum, and it’s not the same now as it was. He’s walking a similar path, with similar reasoning, but so far he’s staying closer to home with his heresy.
The reason why his prophecies have failed is because the divine line of spiritual foresight offered from his god has to pass through the one true emperor first, then to him. But seeing that the middle man is missing….
Morgana did not persuade me of anything. She removed your horrifying curse and allowed me to find my way to the most true religion ever: sedevacantism. Stop hardening your hearts against sedevacantism. Choose the True Emperor. Reject the decadent, pacifist liberalism of this age.
So admittedly you haven’t been getting up to megadeaths (so far) but do you really not see any parallels between your prior, cursed path and this one? Notably the way both of them have YOU as their main prophet?
Remember what the curse is, Mr. Nauplius: a curse of ego-- humility, stolen.
Morgana Tsukiyo convinced you she was lifting the curse because she was curious what you’d be like in bed (or wherever it was) and also what you’d do if you thought you were free of it.
Since she’s got a real and enduring love of chaos, I expect she’s pleased with her investment.
The central figure of sedevacantism is the True Emperor; I am a mere Doctor of the Faith preparing the way for his arrival. Sedevacantists who wish to reverence a living person may visit the Shrine of Our Lady of the Blessed Hips on the Jin-Mei homeworld, where they may also find the Side Chapel dedicated to the Sidekick of Our Lady of the Blessed Hips. Even so, may the True Emperor come quickly. Amen. Amarr Victor.
