Call me an Ultrasmurf one more time, I dare you.
 The Emperor of Mankind wages a constant battle to protect humanity from the horrors of space. All that stand in their way are the mighty Space Marines. They are more than mortal, they are steel and they are doom. They are the champions of mankind. And the GREATEST, MOST BADASS of them all, are the ULTRAMARINES.
 In honor of Captain Titus of the Ultramarines' 2nd Company, an ultramarine unlike any other - may none find him wanting for his name shall forever live in glory, till the end of days.
Titus understood that the Codex Astartes is merely a set of rules, that it is supposed to guide young initiates of the Ultramarines, to inspire honor and sacrifce amongst them. He was also aware of how blindly some of his brothers followed the said set of rules, refusing to think for themselves thus consequently failing the true test of a Space Marine. He understood, better than anyone, that Ultramarines are not without flaws and that after all they are still human in a way. While he knew all that, he also knew that despite all their imperfections, they were the humanity's only hope for survival. |
