Is this the fate of our Imperium? Not to be rendered to fire by the hand of the Archenemy, smashed under the fist of the Greenskin, scoured by the Necrons... but instead, as supper... to some impossibly vast alien metapredator?!
... I, I say nay. I refuse to believe it. I have to refuse, for the alternative is to give in to the sheer scale of the foe we face. So, I must spit upon the Hive Mind and its devourers. Let them come. Let them taste Imperial bolt, let them perish under Imperial steel, let them test the resolve of human faith, for they will see that it cannot and will not be found wanting.
Ave imperator. Gloria in Excelsis Terra.
