Do Skitarii (the martial forces aligned with the Adeptus Mechanicus) speak the secretive language of the Ad Mech known as binary? I haven't really seen any clear answer on this one.


I was under the impression that this was the case, assuming of course the Skitarii in question were recruited from the inhabitants of a Forge World.

However, whether there command of binary is as good as the AdMech priests....

Suddenly i'm having flashbacks of those old Hollywood movies about Rome where all the commoners speak in American english and all the officers speak British English. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379868.page GMT Do Skitarii speak binary?
In Know No Fear, the Skitarii can speak binary. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379892.page GMT Re:Do Skitarii speak binary? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379949.page GMT Do Skitarii speak binary? lol.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379951.page GMT Re:Do Skitarii speak binary?

Actually, follow up question of my own, do they actually say the constituent components of binary, i.e. all the 1s and 0s in "gothic," or is it through synthesized voiceboxes, more akin to the technical noise of a machine? I've never been able to find an actual conclusive statement on that front.

Synthetic voicebox, and a similar aural or neural implant to allow interpretation of the clicks and tones. I can't give any specific references, but the material on the AdMech does contain references to both. (And the "binary" is consistently described as a series of clicks or a buzzing sound, not spoken numbers.)

It's basically sound based wifi, which is either a part of or in addition to the Tech-Priests' noosphere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5379956.page GMT Re:Do Skitarii speak binary? actual binary.

Those were normal humans with a few implants. Low level initiates in the Machine Cult.


The Skittarii who are in the Titan Legions would be much more augmented. Closer to mechanically enhanced gorillas.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5381400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513493/5381400.page GMT Re:Do Skitarii speak binary?

For some reason, I'm picturing Donkey Kong "borgified."

Isn't speaking binary extremely inefficient?


Depends on how fast you can say it.

You could easily "speak" several thousand lines of binary code in a fraction of a second.

So I think for time it would be more efficient, if it wasn't the Ad Mech wouldn't use it.
