On Terra. No. On mars. Yes. On Venus... maybe, as in reality all the life on Venus was stripped in a cataclysmic event. Its just dust and sulfer now. Venus used to be lush and full of life supposedly. So maybe Venus is a necron tome world.

huh?

i don't recall Venus ever being made out to be a life sustaining planet.

Science class was talking about life in space, and Venus has traces of rivers, where forests would be, but the tectonic plates moved and lava mixed with sulfur poured up, killing pretty much everything. I still blame the necrons though!

what?

Rivers maybe, but Forests?


Wiki says that Venus may have once had oceans, but they have long since boiled away and the water blown away on the solar wind. the atmosphere is 92 times the pressure of Earth's.

What the public school system teaches

Maybe I am wrong, I was doing homework for another period during the video. But thats what I heard at any rate. Can we get to the point that Necrons are on Venus?

Longpost ho!

The AdMech then found the landing site and the Noctis Labyrinth (Said to be the hiding place of the Void Dragon who is hiding from he Outsider who is crazy. They're both C'tan) and began excavating it after that there is nothing else.

There were 5 Shroud class light cruisers, and, while they managed to avoid Mars's planetary defences, they were quickly destroyed by intercepting craft, though not before one of them landed in the Labyrinthus. It was vaporised shortly after touching the ground. Since then, several vocal Magos have been calling for the Labyrinthus to be either declared permanently off-limits or be completely annihilated.
Also, who was it that told you the Void Dragon is hiding from the Outsider? I think they might do well to check their sources again.

Yes, you read that right, the Emperor visited Mars, along with a badly bruised Void Dragon, 600 years ago!

Mechanicum dates the fight between the Emperor and the Void Dragon as occurring sometime within the 11th or 12th century, but it also mentions Emperor Diocletian, who ruled Rome during the late 3rd century. The God-Emperor defeating the Void Dragon shares a number of similarities with the tale of Saint George and the dragon: both George and the Emperor are said to be soldiers under Emperor Diocletian; some versions of the St. George story place it in Silene, Libya, while the Emperor supposedly defeated the Void Dragon in Cyrene, Libya; both dragons were fed maidens; and both had a cloth tied around their necks after being defeated. Also, the legend of Saint George dates back to the 10th/11th century, which may account for the date given in Mechanicum.

Grey Templar wrote:The Emperor currently powers an intersteller Lighthouse from his badly broken body.

That's a common misconception, the Emperor doesn't actually power the Astronomicon, and hasn't since Magnus broke the Golden Throne in the days of the Heresy. He instead just directs the energies of the thousands of psykers wired into the Astronomicon.

purplefood wrote:That very same codex also allows for tanks to be dropped from space onto a planet.

Blood Angels don't drop Land Raiders from space, they drop them from Thunderhawk Transporters. That the Blood Angels only have 3 Thunderhawk Transporters to deploy their 43 Land Raiders is another issue entirely.

Laughing God wrote:The void dragon is the most powerful C'tan. But the eldar shot him with one of thier black stone fortresses and weakened him. He then crash landed on terra and the emperor enslaved him in his weakend state.

The Void Dragon didn't "crash land" on Terra. He was draining the energies of binary star when Vaul set out to banish him with the Talismans. The outcome of that battle isn't fully known, but many millennia later the Void Dragon awoke and travelled to Earth, where he began to feed on the populace and regain his strength.

Laughing God wrote:The Void dragon was discovered by the Mechanicum and worshipped as the new "messiah" and fed souls.

While there are a few within the Mechanicum who know of him, such as the Guardians of the Dragon, his presence is not common knowledge. And with good reason, since the alliance between the Imperium and the Adeptus Mechanicus is dependant on the God-Emperor and the Omnissiah being one and the same. I'd also call into question your assertion that the Void Dragon is being fed souls, since the C'tan don't eat souls. In fact, Codex: Necrons makes it clear that while humans are being "sacrificed" in the Noctis Labyrinthus, their souls are not being consumed and are instead "cast adrift".

purplefood wrote:But The Outsider is trapped in a dyson sphere (That he made the great loon)

Dyson Shell. A proper Dyson Sphere, the words of Freeman Dyson himself, "consists of a loose collection or swarm of objects traveling on independent orbits around the star". The Outsider is speculated to be within the 1.04 AU diameter sphere far below the galactic plane. A solid shell around a sun is mechanically impossible, aside from anything else it's in an unstable equilibrium.
And yeah, the Outsider is a loon. Fragments of the other C'tan he consumed remained within his consciousness, twisting like knives, driving him mad and forcing it into exile. That's an important bit, the Outsider's exile is self imposed. If he's trapped or imprisoned, it's in a cage of his own making. So logically, he'd be the one who knows how to open it, wouldn't he?

purplefood wrote:OTOH it is possible the Emperor imprisoned him properly and the Labyrint is sooo hard he can't find his way out.

The Noctis Labyrinthus isn't a literal labyrinth. Nor is the Void Dragon entombed beneath the earth in a literal prison. It's likely some psychic nonsense, since the Dragon is supposedly "everywhere and nowhere" and, through a network of tunnels, one can step from the material world into the Dragon's mind, a vast silvered chamber filled with impossible infiniteness. Psychic mumo-jumbo like that.

That's because it's not a storyline, it's a setting.

I don't think that the people in the warp would necessarily be safe.

Isn't it the C'tan goal to seal off the warp from "reality"? So by sealing off the warp, those residing in the warp would have a great difficulty in growing stronger, as most of their energies feeds off the emotions of those in the "real world".

I'm thinking that the warp would slowly deteriorate and die off if the C'tan succeed in their goal.
