I'd do my best to join the Astartes, hopefully the Raven Guard.

Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.

I'd show em my literature, and when they see that I am so well versed in their own history I'd be deemed invaluable. I only wish to serve mankind away, what good does it do to resist the Emperor's regime? May as well do some good for your Lord (whatever his/her name is).

1) Try to re-introduce principles of engineering, scientific method, democracy, free market and human rights to replace Machine-god worship, Emperor worship, police state and totalitarian rule.
2) Immediately get executed for heresy.

Hmm... I'll try again...

1) Accept Emperor as lord and saviour.
2) Apply for some boring and unimportant job in Adeptus Administratum.
3) Never have to face any Ork, Daemon, Tyranid, Inquisitor, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Tau or other horrible things (hopefully).

Sounds better.

So the Trekkies are zipping around at warp speed taking small chucks out of an nigh-on infinite amount of ships, with the Imperium being unable to strike back. feth it, says central command, and detonates every vortex warhead in the fleet, plunging the entire sector into the Warp.

IIRC the guys who pilot titans are chosen from the best across the entire Imperium, so your odds of becoming a titan pilot are low to say the least. As for myself, if our Guard regiment was any good I would join, if we were a crappy generic regiment then I would do some boring administrative work for the administratum.

Join the administratum if possible. Try and rise through the ranks and attempt to take out the Imperium from within.

Something along the lines of Claus von Stauffenberg in Germany, or Colonel Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist. Although, with a bit less violence.

I'd probably attempt to build up a cell of co-conspirators, then ask to be transferred to a different department, or volunteer to be transferred. Then over time build up a cell of co-conspirators there. I would repeat this over a decade until I had around 5-6 cells.

In the meantime my 5-6 cells composing between 3 and 4 people would go out and develop their own cells, corrupting the whole civil service and Administratum on Earth.

I have no chance of overthrowing the Imperium, but I could corrupt the Administratum so that Earth is given a better deal than most other planets. We could use the wide corruption to change the amount sent on military drafts, make lives better for the Terrans, and generally get us the best possible deal.

In the end we might be able to have an Earth with no internal wars, only a minimal draft/resource payment, and protection from the Imperium.

This could actually work out to our benefit. =D

Talk by some people about fighting against Imperial forces undertaking this glorious reunion is nothing but treason, and as for the rest, open demonstration of distinct lack of enthusiasm for honourable service in Imperial Guard is almost as bad as treason.

I, for one, welcome our glorious overlord and will be amongst the first to sign up in Planetary Defence Force, as soon as Imperial administration sets one up.

And heck you can't even get your own jollies off without Slaanesh giggling and farting out some daemons. And if you manage to avoid all that, some genestealers might infiltrate your planet and bring a hive fleet crashing down on you any way.

Inspire to be a Commissar.. Die trying.

Earth chapter of astartes lol that would be interesting, us of dakka dakka the most suited for such a honorable task.
Descendent chapter of Ultramarines. Cuz why not? Need gene-seed from somebody lol.
I'll take the 99% fatal attempt to become a space marine.. Death seems to be the only outcome here I rather just attempt to be a Demi-god if I have the choice.

Well being in the Marines I would probably die in the attack.
Due to our advanced military's world wide I wouldn't b surprised if they sent the space marines in to defeat us. I think as soon as our planet surrendered most of what was left of our military would be inducted as the 1st Sol SOG. I could see earth being training grounds for Storm troopers\ commissars\sisters of battle . I forgot what they called those schools so sorry about that. The imperium would have a lot to learn from us military wise because the depth of the imperiums tactics is pretty much "clog the enemy's' gun muzzles with your flesh" we would probably become another Cadia minus a certain eye of terror.

Since I already bear the Mark of Chaos, I'm pretty sure my life would be both short and extremely unpleasant.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.
