Dear Imperial Fleet Command:

I have just encountered a spacial anomoly that is emitting inverted tacheon particles. Should I:

Reroute main power through the deflector disk to create an antiphoton pulse?
Invert the polarity on the warp core?
Or surrender?

I'm thinking surrender.

Who the feth let you into Imperial space? And furthermore what the hell Is tacheon particles, my personal Mechanicum aide has no clue either. And that space anomaly is probably the eye. I think you should go on a scouting mission into it. Shields will mess with your sensors as will energy weapoon signatures so please have these systems disabled before entering the anomaly. And "when" you survive please dock at Port Maw for 6 months isolation.

To whom this may concern.

At this moment we have someone who claims to be your son in custody, for indecent exspour to minors. The individual on question goes by the name of Fulgrim. He stated that you would raise a bail for him.
If this is true please respond within the next 72 standard hours, if not we will assume you can not. And ship him back to you in cryo sleep.

Dear overgrown food-baby,
Normally I would not take precious time out of my busy schedule sitting on this throne and stuff and guiding mankind to survival and stuff, so consider this a gift from the most Holiest of All.
1. The hole is there as per the specifications of the Chapter-Approved MK III foodstuffs.
2. Of course it's meat in those school-lunches, just because it goes under the name of Mystery Meat doesn't mean it's not.
3. The Eldar and the T'au are not afflicted by disease because I decreed it! And that is all you need to know.
Now, if you would be so kind as to direct your rotting mass in front of the nearest Imperial Navy Fleet, they can expound upon my answers if need be.
Sincerely,
The Master of Mankind


Dear Teh Space Emporer,
Well, I have a friend who's trapped inside of a planet. I know, sounds crazy, right? He was just doing nothing, minding his own business ruling over these humans, when all of a sudden, this shining A-Hole waltzes by and beats the tobacco juice out of him for no apparent reason and imprisons him in a room on another planet. It was totally out of line, but not much he can do about that D-Bag. What I- er, he would like to know is how he can escape and go back to his rightful rule of those people on that long, lost world.
Oh, and one of my shard-friends of the Nightbringer wishes to say "Sup?" to the Ultramarines.
Thanks a bunch,

Dear Eternal Adversary,
I am the Phaeron of the Atun Dynasty, and am quite proud of everything my subjects have done in the past two-hundred years or so. However, I have a bit of a problem, and that is Imotekh. Not only is he arrogant, obnoxious, and suffering from MSD (Mary Sue Disorder), but he also keeps intruding in my territory and taking my Tomb Worlds without so much as even the courtesy of a formal declaration of war. I would like nothing so much as to turn him into a pile of molten slag, but he happens to be a favorite of the Silent King. Any idea what I can do?

Dear Space Emperor,

I suddenly find certain memories disappearing, as if they were not real. For you see, some time ago there was this whole business on an incy wincy planet called Pavonis with a tiny winy insignificant star god - nothing to worry about, I'm an Ultramarine so I saved myself and won by letting it go to ravish the rest of the universe and wake its Necron minions.

The problem is, it seems like it can't have happened now.. like someone has retconned a major part of my life that's been established for many years now. I'm just not sure what's going on, am I going mad?

Confused,

Most Holy Liege,
Just the other day, I was attached to the 666th Malchian regiment to keep the men's morale up. We were making an assualt on one fort, when I noticed one infantry squad making the cardinal sin of retreating. The commissar attached to said squad swiftly executed their sergeant and told them to turn back, but to no avail, and he was forced to run with them to execute more soldiers. My questions is, why can't I execute the Commissar, since he doesn't seem to be doing his job correctly?
