** Not to mention, these are eldar, who have a *special* relationship with said chaos god as its creator race, being fundamentally damned for all eternity if they die without protection such as a soul stone or even feeling an emotion too strongly. Not to mention, merely saying [[SpeakOfTheDevil Slaanesh's name if you are an eldar]], leads to a very grisly death, as shown in the vox log, hence the alias "she-who-thirsts", which is unnecessary for other races, who use said name freely, chaos aligned or otherwise without fear of reprisal.

* He'Stan and Tu'Shan's 50 year labor contract does make sense. 24 hours of work earned them 0.01% towards redemption, and 10,000 days of solid work is around 27 years. Using a 20-hour work day (Astartes only need 4 hours of sleep), 33 years. Factoring in interest, lowered demand lowering prices, custom work slowing the line, and the need for food, water, and gravity, that 33 could be bumped up to 50.

** On the 'being paid' side: In the Last Church podcast, the Emperor is annoyed that an artist didn't accept his 'payment' of honor, prestige, and exposure. That's exactly what he's paying the Custodes: canon claims that they outrank everyone but the Emperor and possibly the Primarchs, and the Inquisition accusing them of heresy is a sign that they've lost it. Also, immortality, the best wargear in the Imperium, a gigantic golden palace to live in, and lots of food, but mostly honor.

* Neither Kitten nor Karstodes know the meaning of the words 'pay' or 'money' (episode 19 and the Black Templars podcast), even though the Emperor claims to pay them.

* Hammurabi Unferth is one of Kitten's supporters, but he's still not above some passive-aggressive sniping. The Emissaries' job is to receive and interpret visions given to them by the Emperor, and announce his will to the populace; thanks to Kitten and the text-to-speech device, the Emperor can speak for himself. The Emperor's return lost him his job, and he can't complain directly about it. Alternately, due to the sheer amount of pique being shoveled out of Eternity Gate on a daily basis, the Emissaries are working overtime announcing his word (in diplomatic language) for the first time in ten thousand years.

* When calling Cawl, the Fabricator-General uses an old-time, 1960's style phone (it even has an actual cord!), reflecting that the Adeptus Mechanicus are very much stuck in the past and obsessed with old technology. By contrasts, Cawl picks up using a ''smartphone'', something that looks more modern than almost anything we saw used so far in the series, reflecting that, much like with developping the Primaris Marines, Cawl is the only Archmagos to look forward and trying to develop new things.

** [[spoiler:Money]] won't keep them safe because Inquisitors [[spoiler:can requisition anything, and generally have no need for money]]. They're safe because all the legions off-planet are now under the protection of two Primarchs, and Magnus already took care of the Inquisitors insane enough to attack, say, the Emperor's sons (Corvus could give [[spoiler:the revolution]] his blessing in writing, except most of the Imperium thinks he's dead).

* The Jopallian Penal Legions' reason join Vulkan and Corvus's Crusade [[RightForTheWrongReasons have a few holes, but they arrived at a reasonable conclusion]]. They joined [[spoiler:to make enough money to bribe the Inquisition once they find out they executed their leaders]].

** Vulkan and Corvus can argue that the Commissar that was killed during the rebellion on Jopall had failed to recognise and come to the aid of a loyalist Son of the Emperor.

* Slaanesh's [[BewareTheSillyOnes far more serious tone]] in the third Vox-Logs compared to all the other times we've seen it makes a horrifying amount of sense upon thinking about it more. Up until now we've only seen Slaanesh interact with the other Chaos Gods, all of whom are more powerful than it, and those weaker deities than it who are under the protection of the aforementioned Chaos Gods. These are ''mortals'', and for as weak as Slaanesh is when compared to the other Chaos Gods, there isn't a mortal alive that can hope to fight it, and it ''knows this''. It doesn't need to hold back, it doesn't need to curtail its true nature for its own sake, it can simply indulge and ''play with its food''.

** Alternately, [[spoiler:since they left shortly before his demise, the Custodes could be blamed instead. The Imperium could save face by declaring that the Dark Angels acted independently and blame the Chapter Master; the Custodes don't have that luxury because they report directly to the Emperor. So the blame would either fall to the Emperor, which would shatter the peace treaty with Mars, or Kitten and the Custodes, which brings up the terrifying implication that the PraetorianGuard is disloyal]]. Of course, the point is moot if security cameras exist.

** The Imperium generally doesn't care about the crimes on a single planet; as long as they pay their tithes and don't commit heresy, [[spoiler:killing the leaders won't bat an eye]]. Those knockoff gland Marines, however, have heresy written all over them.
