Covert War - recruitment and OOC

[Atrum Daemon]

I like Sova even more now that I’ve actually been able to read it. For the record, accessing the site on mobile is a real headache.

Do you get the mobile version of the site (which, for me, could never open spoilers)? If so, you might be able to get a more familiar (and functioning) layout by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking “Full Site”.

I feel very foolish never noticing that button.

Kally and Raech texting is the thing I didn't know I needed to see.

To be fair, it took me weeks to find it. The mobile version of the site is not laid out very intuitively.

I mostly blame you and Az for that with your talk of making cutesy heart shapes at each others characters :P

I expect there'll have to be a scene made somewhere along the way of young (or perhaps not so young...) adepts exchanging and commenting inanely on C.A.T. videos and memes...as some Guardsmen speculate on what mind-bendingly arcane wonders of technology they could be discussing amongst themselves.

...anyhow, about all that Ad Mech girl-talk...I'll shoot you a text, Dakka. There's a whole lot of that incoming.

As I said to Paint in a recent PM: I’m not sure how it happened, but somehow the Ad Mech have become the comic relief of this story.

I look forward to genator Veiss’ arrival! (Yes, she is a relation)

Probably cause the ad mech at times are hilariously incompetant or idiotic? Like that one hidden mechanicya base in the Calixis sector that was used fir experimenting on and creating daemonhosts.

I don’t think they are either idiots or incompetent, their issues lie more in rigidity and being too jealous of tech they don’t have and can’t create due to said rigidity.

My thoughts are close to that - however with the 'impurity of flesh' and self-repressed rigidity, and as much as they may try and present a composed and emotionless façade to their fellow 'baseline' humans...tech-priests and priestesses are still human beings (at least until they mechanically make themselves more machinelike) at their core, and whether they like to admit it, have human physical and emotions and needs that occasionally need to be met.

That being said, can't show that humanity in-front of the baselines. That's why they've got binary to goof around in, and nobody outside the Cult will be the wiser to them joking and shit talking with one another like 'normal' people - which unfortunately rarely gets shown in official licensed 40k fiction - we'll usually get the more traditional representative of the Ad Mech, cos when there's usually only one named or focal character, there's no room for granularity to show different interpretations.
