Wait until the Pumpkin sings. You haven't heard anything yet.

If it is anything like this incoherent mewling I shall smite thee too where there stands.

...I'm here to grab an Iron Hand before he hurts himself. Tell him that we have a stable timestate now.

*Disappears into thin air*

*looks confused*
What the feth just happened?
Where did the Iron Hand go?

Maybe he left and joined another server?

Possibly. Maybe he just left to go after Ferrus?

I am afraid I know not either. The Iron Hands are a strange legion, what with they're strange faith in metal.

It is odd isn't it son of Fulgrim? Their obsession with machines is, off-putting, to say the least.

What? Machines are cool. Do you know what kind of killing sprees my top copmrades would get up to as soon they got their hands on one Helicopter?

Yes, but the Iron Hands take it to a whole new level. They venerate the machine, not just respect it.

Indeed. And they do have a most peculiar adoration for cybernetic enhancements. Never really did understand those Iron Hands of theirs.

I think it's because they didn't get enough attention when they were neophytes. Shameful really.

Such a shame, to have all that potential neophytes have thrown away by poor indoctrination. And it can't just be their obsession with metal, after all the Salamanders appreciate their Neophytes greatly.

Always knew Ferrus Manus was up to something awful.

Really?

Hello brothers! What's going on here?

Some Americans are talking gak about machines. Machines are awesome.

"Americans?" That nation hasn't existed since the Unification Era of M32, what are you talking about?

They're not Americans? I though all my enemies were either Americans or Chinese.

That nation ceased to exist in the 32nd Millennium. As a matter of fact all nations ceased to exist after the Unification of Terra

Oh, sorry then

It's fine. Very few even remember the nations of old anymore. It's understandable.

Very few even knew their borders. Even fewer knew their names. A most impressive knowledge you have of the ancient times.

Lord Guilleman thought it necessary for all the officers in the legion. As the Apothecary Primus I was required to have some basic knowledge of it.

An interesting notion, I hardly see how it would be relevant to commanding the legion - or any fighting force for that matter - seeing as the ancient borders hold little relevance to Terra today.

Unless of course it's for a strategy using the geography that remains from those times. Then it is most wise of him. You never know when a planet could fall under siege.

<<the pumpkin laughs>>

<<The Kakophoni Sonic Blasts it deep into the warp>>

Ah, there goes that annoying noise. Replaced with auditory bliss at last

When did the brother Smurf Ultramarine show up?

Just now Brother Fist, Lord Guilleman dispatched me here to watch over this area.

I'm from the year 2020, back when all those countries still existed.
