Hopefully we're live at this point though. We'll have to wave. People have to let us
know if they can hear us loud and clear. That would be very helpful. Yeah, we're checking.
How's everyone doing by the way? How's all the gang? Apparently silent. Sleeping for
all. I'm here and feeling it. To my last final today, big win. Oh nice. Nice. This fella's
like, oh no it is light. Never mind. I'm full of shit. So we're talking about something
special today. It's not quite cyberpunk, but what is it we're talking about today? Colin,
if you want to introduce us in. We are talking about the one, the only, Bellisarius Call.
I was trying to really think of quick, like a, you know, a WWE name for him. But the metal
monstrosity. There we go. That's his wrestling name. I like the Mechanicus Mac. That's pretty
good too. Mechanicus Mac Daddy. Yeah. Bellisarius Call. Pretty smart fella. You know, reinvented
space Marines to applause and hate from both the fandom and in universe. As much as Eli's
absolute hatred. This is, I would say the man, it's the thing that's responsible for
the Primaris Marines, but we're going to get a bit more into that later. Probably most
influential human character in the setting at this point because of that. That's me making
an opinion. It's an opinion. He's up there. If not the most, he's definitely up there.
That's if Gilliam is a human main character of Warhammer. We're all just living in his
world though. You see it exists. It is true. But before we begin that though, we start
again with the question of the week. Thank you everyone who submitted their answers last
time. I think it was hashtag buddies. I think come over the exact question we did, but it
wasn't like, who would you want to take into what be buddies within Warhammer? And I've
got a few, I mean, there's some of them that just straight up like insulting, but I think
they're pretty on task. So I will start with the first one here. This is by Henrique 2860.
He says hashtag buddies. I would take Rogal Dawn so I could bore my enemies to death.
I feel so bad because Rogal Dawn gets crapped on so much for like, it's one of those things
like he's very much, yeah. Crapped on in law when he's meant to be like in the books. If
you read the books, like, Oh my God, it's Rogal Dawn. And then outside of the books
and on table, I was like, Oh, it's Rogal Dawn. Like, damn poor Dawn. Okay. This is the next
one. Someone's going to hate this, but at Collins little femboy. Yes. At Collins little
femboy.
If a man who loves VTubers is telling you you're foul, you know you've hit rock bottom.
He puts hashtag buddies. I would want Nagash as my best bud. That way he can show me why
he is the bone daddy. So a bit of a one, two, maybe not, maybe not. Hell yeah. Yeah. It
was, it was a, they had us in the first half and then it went right downhill. And the last
one is by at crazy Scotsman, uh, nine three, two seven. He puts hashtag buddies. I would
choose either to follow around got trick and Felix or snorri nosebiter. Am I going to die
in this? Am I going to die in this adventures that happen? Most likely would it be a glorious
way to go and fun and futile attempt to hang out with a dwarf with the spot of consuming
ale. Um, this guy has his priorities straight. Um, we appreciate that though. I think Felix
got trick is pretty unpleasant to be around. It's pretty, I mean, I was, I'm reading some
of the age of sigma, uh, got trick books and they're very much just the entire thing is
him like rubbish. Like he's always hates everyone. He's pretty much, it's something like he's
just, um, he has like a resting, I don't know, we're not resting. It's just a cantankerous
old man. Yeah. He's just resting, pissed off with the entire universe. Uh, we do have one
more, uh, for the next question of the week. Um, is there, I want to explain what this
next one is. Obviously it's a bit on theme here. I think it's to do with, uh, how are
these questions? Which one we to be paid? I think it was, um, I believe it's, um, if
you could augment yourself with anything from the 40 K universe, what would it be? There
would be like exactly in the law. If you think it would work in 40 K, if you think it would
exist, then go for it. And there's gotta be a planet in the entire galaxy. That's cyber
bunk town. Yeah, exactly. There is an airfire STC. Exactly. Uh, well, I think the hashtag
was chromed up, chrome me up, chrome me up. Um, so if you want to, I mean, make the answers
obviously within reason, don't let YouTube flag you. Um, I do believe that think an episode
like a while back and he did say, yeah, he made like a little slip and he said, Oh, what
if you have a nice toaster wife or something like that? And, uh, you say, you know, let's
just call it the whole master ones by accident. I was there the day the whole master sluice
improvement. I was there. The day horse shed himself. That's still amazing. That guy knows
who he is and he knows he probably listens to this and wrote that. And that was genius.
Oh, it was so good. How far, how far would you fellas go with the, uh, mechanic is augmenting
personally? I, I, I don't think calls mechanical enough. I still see a face that's clearly
still a regular human left hand. Yeah. Not too much, too much meat. I mean, it depends
what you want to do, right? Like what's the, what's the objective of having getting chromed
up? And I would say, I want to do something that I literally could not possibly do as
you know, I want to be able to fold in half and like fit into like crevices, something
I want someone to look at me and their first thought be confusion. I probably go full Adam
Jensen's like, I did ask for this and just have like the sunglasses coming in, jumping
up the top of buildings, punching through walls, seeing through walls and stuff. And
just be like, I'm a chromed up kind of dude. Yeah. But I am a, I would definitely get personally.
Okay. As an odd and emperors children's fan, you're like, Oh, that's right. I'll just,
I'll take the space marine augmentations and that's it. Ferris is a fucking dork.
I'll say one word and I won't justify it or explain it. Tentacles moving on and that's
it. Speaking of that though, we're about to get into the reason people are actually here
for, which is not the chromed up scarring, but some of the law we're talking about the
arch Magos, Elisarius call. I think Andy is taking the lead on this one. Yeah. And it
will guide us through this journey. So it's going to be quite a dense one. I think, cause
there's a lot to talk about. Um, but again, feel free if ever I'm talking about anything
and you want to pitch in because we're going to cover everything from his origins to what
he's doing in current day. Um, there's actually a surprising amount, five page scripts of
notes. Um, and I remember when I was writing this earlier, I was like, Oh, it's not going
to be like too extensive. I was wrong. Um, but let's begin at the start where all things
tend to begin in the first place. So Bella Sari us before we do actually, we just got
a donation from chin big. He gave us 65 S E K. Thank you. Thank you very much. He said
the savior of the Imperium, the smartest man alive, the conduit of the omniscience, close
the rift, absolute turbo heretic, Bella Sari is cool. That's why we love him. That was
a much better WWE intro than anything we did. Although before we start, actually, do you
guys think he's a heretic in the definition or what they call it? Yeah. Yeah. Would the
Imperium say yes? Yes. Do I think so? No, I think he's a smart fella. Perfecting the
emperor's work, which is already perfect, which is not hard to do at all. You have a
five fifth grade level intelligence, but I mean, he's like as heretical as the people
who redesigned the iPhone every year. Like there's not that much that's changed. Maybe
the cameras that those are Apple corporates. I think they're, they're worse than call.
All of them are going to hell. Um, my apologies to any Apple CEOs watching the stream right
now. It is not sponsored by Apple, the stream. Otherwise we really screwed up that sponsor.
Someone said he's not heretic enough, which I mean, that would be, I mean, you blow the
line to being, yeah. Fabius Bial at that point. The real main character. Anyway, old, old,
old man. Um, anyway, speaking of old man, so Bella Sari is one of the oldest servants
of the Imperium or even individuals in the, at least in the gallery, if you, if you ignore
the Eldar and the necrons, at least for the human side of things, pretty much one of the
only people who's been alive since the Horus heresy. And when I say alive, um, he's been
serving the Imperium for 10,000 years in some way or another. Uh, one of the most influential
and powerful adepts of Mars. He is known as the archmagos Dominus and commands leagues
of the mechanicus as military might. He has untold technological, technological creations
as well as improvements that he's been crafting over the years. And he derives a lot of his
inspiration from the dark age of technology because the mechanicus being the mechanicus
and being one of the most powerful people in it, he's able to, um, investigate and tinker
with some stuff locked away in its most secret and well guarded vaults. Uh, but the first
recorded instance of Bella Sari is at least in the law that we know of is during the Horus
heresy. Um, he was created on Mars and I say created specifically because, uh, Bella Sari
was not born. He was, uh, growing in a vat, um, within the birthing facility of the Zanth
on Terra under the tutelage of Magos biologists, hammer F during the 31st millennium. Um, so
he was vat grown. And the reason he's vat grown is because the mechanicus find that
being born is a bit cringe. It's a bit slow. It takes like 18 years before you can even
like learn how to make a sandwich properly or, you know, pay rent. Say this is too slow.
So they actually tend to grow their, or at least they did during the Horus heresy, they
grow their, uh, their tech adepts. And at the, the day he was born, he was already able
to speak fluently. Um, because he, his, his, I'm not, I don't think it says exactly how
quickly he grows up, but he's basically an adolescent within his first couple of days.
He's already jumped from like the age of zero to 14 or something, just like, right. He's
grown up. That was quick. Um, because again, the mechanicus is not all they don't really
like to waste time. Shall we say now he further over time, he started to, you know, learn
and craft things. He was never one to be, uh, compliant to the doc, the dogma of the
mechanicus where you should fear technology and innovation that you don't understand.
He's always been someone who wants to get to the new horizons of innovation. And as
a young tech adept, he was starting to tinker with things. He was starting to grow more
intelligent. Um, he directed data directly into his mind, but he was always a bit of
a strange guy in that he didn't like overt transformations of I'm going to cut off one
of my appendages and replace it with a brand new metal one. He was always more, uh, reverent
with the emperor in particular and said the, the, you know, the emperor is pretty much
perfect. He's not got many great big glaring augmentations because the emperor does have
augmentations. They're just very subtle. And he's like, no, we need to champion being human
above being robots.
Ah, is that like, um, arc is it arc of land in the horrors? He keep, he's the only, uh,
one of the few members and mechanic come at the time. Yeah. Who he still looks relatively
human because he said like, Oh, you know, we worship the machine God, but the omniscience
is a human. So therefore his form is sacred. So the human form should be, and then everyone
looks at arc and land and goes, that's weird. You've got, you know, where's, where's your
monkey with the poison tail?
I agree with that. Imagine joining the machine cult and being that boring.
I mean, you don't join the machine court. You just born into it.
He is, yeah, he is augmented to be fair, but it's, they look human. He looks more like
a man.
Yeah. He was never one to be like, Oh, you need to get away from being human. You need
to quickly become like the omni-sci. He was like, no, the human is a, it's like a holy
form, so to speak. Because again, he believes that the emperor is the omni-sci implicitly.
Because despite being creatures of logic and essentially mathematics and binary code and
machine, they are very much zealots of faith as well, which is quite, I always find that
dichotomy is quite strange. Yeah. Which is like, yes. But then that thing is like, it's
so like the two different things merging together, which is why it's so damn crazy. And if someone
is listening to this is new to Warhammer. Oh my God. Mechanicus is like the best grim
dark thing ever.
They're so weird. And I think of all the factions as well, they're kind of like, I feel like
they're one of the hardest to get into because it's like, Oh, they literally, for the most
part, don't have a human face or something that you could like imprint upon like, Oh,
that's like me. But Oh, it's a, it's a guy made of like several, several bits of metal
and you can see a bit of his face and he has no real emotions like, Oh, great.
Would you say that's a similar problem to say if someone was like a Vtuber, which is
like, they're not quite the human form. So we struggled to relate to it in some capacity.
I think I've seen the people in Vtuber chats and I think they have no issues simulating
as it were. Some of those people are a wee bit too down bad.
Do you think on Mars and there was like a phase bit when they went from like the Martian
priests being worshiped to like, Oh, we had a Vtuber like decade and then we fully made
the transition to it's why they banned AI actually. It was just a failed way of getting
rid of that garbage. Too many guys present day those AI girlfriends that are starting
to crop up and that was like the downfall. That was when it was started like, Oh no,
this is terrible.
I have a telfer boarding.
It just reminds like even I found it equally creepily creepy in a weird thing I learned,
which was like there are live streams where like people just stare at the thing and you
it's for design for people who are like find it difficult to have people stare at them
or like make eye contact. So there are streams where people just stare at the camera for
like hours and that equally was, I think I'm glad that
they do anything. No, they kind of just, it's like normal life, but then there's just, they
get used to like people staring at them. Obviously on camera. I'm just glad the people know this
now and there's like a category of it. It's not the weirdest thing out there, but it's
pretty much like, it's not the weirdest thing, but it's not far off. I mean, it's on it.
It's a, it's a four out of 10.
It's like the sleep on camera.
Why would you watch that when you could be here with the boys talking about Beatle daddy?
Who doesn't sleep probably. Unless it's one of those streams where you can screw with
them while they're sleeping. Those are funny.
But yeah, back to, back to Belisarius. So he began his career as a tech hackalite on
the world of Tressolian A4 under the tutelage of the Magos Domina, Magos Domia Hesta Aspersia
Sigma Sigma, which is like a typical mechanicus name. You can't just be called Kevin. It's
a great note. Your name is Hesta Aspersia Sigma Sigma or toaster 12345. And while under
the tutelage of the Magos, he started to learn the arts of soul merging. So soul merging
is the art of digital duplication, which allows adepts to merge their own basically mental
faculties and psyche with other beings, which helps aid in implanting and subsuming knowledge
and experiences. So rather than, for example, if we took Eli and I was like, ah, he's he's
very knowledgeable about fitness, rather than like training for several years and learning
diet and nutrition and form and stuff, I could just be like, plonk, put Eli's brain in my
brain. And now I too can deadlift for the dark gods. So that's kind of the basic idea
of soul merging, which is a weird name for it, like soul merging, but it works. So like
I said, he he was always reticent to replace his own organs and limbs with mechanical upgrades.
But as he started to age, he started to realize, maybe if I'm going to continue to serve the
emperor, I'm going to have to utilize some of the soul merging technology to start with
just to just to keep me you know, keep keep the keep the the curve of my experience and
my knowledge continuing to tick away. But in the future, I'm going to have to think
of a way to get more storage space. And this was kind of the beginning of his well, what
you see him as today. But of all the mechanicus adepts, he was among the most he venerated
the emperor more than pretty much anyone else. He was very much like, I'm one of his guys.
He's the best. Why love me Emperor simple as is that in the way like because they think
he just for people listening, it's because the Emperor to them is the Omnissiah, which
is yeah, because because not everyone in the mechanicus believes he's the Omnissiah to
an extent, but a lot do and Belisarius is like, yes, the Emperor is the Omnissiah. The Omnissiah
is my god. He's literally my god. I love is the just for clarification for people. The
Omnissiah is not the machine god, but it's like the living avatar of the machine. Yeah.
Yes, like, yeah, it's like an embodiment. I don't want to make a real world link to
it. So I'm like, just a bit too crass. Yeah, I mean, I was it's in the name Omnissiah.
Like yeah, Messiah Messiah. Yeah, yeah, I guess I never put that together. I know you're
saying it's I get what you mean. Yeah, probably better to be safe most of the time. But it's
one of those things where once you see it, it's like that's they're not hiding it. They're
not hiding that one at all. There's even Trinitarian, like space marine chapters and other sex and
stuff. Yeah. And again, with the idea of a godhead, he can be God and also the son of
God or the prophet of God at the same time simultaneously. And it's fantasy. So like,
yeah, why not?
I just want to put a big god Dominus. We don't body shame mechanicus boys on this joint,
because they can literally have it. And also he can skitter really fast. So watch what
you say.
But yeah, at this point, call started to realize he was struggling to retain the raw amount
of information he was consuming. Because again, he's still pretty young at this point. He's
like, I think technically only a few years old, even though he's like a man. But many
over the years, many have claimed that Belisarius over the years has lost untold archives amounts
of knowledge. More than anyone in history, he's learned things that would be absolutely
like groundbreaking, and then had to just forget it or wipe it from his memory in order
to input new stuff. And because of this dawning problem, he started to perform illegal modifications
in secret on his own body. Because again, even though the Emperor is not wounded yet,
even though tech heresy isn't at the heights it is in the 41st millennium, the tech ad
apps still don't like a lot of procedures. They don't like a lot of the stuff that could
be described as heresy. And so in secret Belisarius goes, I need more storage, I need to increase
my SSD in my brain. I'm going to just like perform operations on myself while I'm awake,
try and increase the threshold of my like storage capacity. So his intelligence started
to skyrocket, his cognitive abilities, again, kept growing. And this would be when he had
his first brush with the traitors, wherein Warmaster Horus during the Horus heresy of
the his namesake, invaded the Trissolian system and commanded cause mentor Hesteros Berthier
sigma sigma to defect to the traitor cause which she did. Call was not happy about this
because he looked at Horus's form and was like, that's disgusting. That's gross. Look
at that. More master gross. And he really hated what he embodied and what he was obviously
like projecting. So call pretended to submit to the will of the Warmaster and his master
was plotting behind a spurs his back. He had a really good friend called Friedish Adam
ship crow, which is a weird name. And
he hits him with the full name every time as well. Friedish Adam clip. Yeah, just like
can't take him on a stealth mission because of the hole for damns. A picture on the screen
right now goes pretty hard. Not gonna lie. He looks pretty good. There's some good little
tube into his like side of his nose is giving me creeps. Well, that's why they do is like
Horus and stuff isn't it? They just put like tubes up the characters nose who are usually
evil just so you're a bit like, just a visceral reaction. There's an art piece with death
company like blood angels death company and a guy just straight up has like a sort of
extraction fan like to the side of his head. And I'm just thinking like, that is horrifically
inconvenient. It's just like, can answer anywhere on the left like, or the big like extractor
fan tubes on Horus head where it's like it's because it's uploading data into his brain
is like it's big, big tubes. Good.
It's just, damn, humanity is weird in 40k. Yeah. But anyway, we'll call him Fred. So
Fred and Belisarius they start to plot to escape the Tressolian system. And together
they manage to kill aspercia sigma sigma before escaping. And before they do Belisarius uses
the knowledge he's learned from his mentor to merge her consciousness into his own intelligence
core which I believe is just like the equivalent of a brain. But he incorporates her knowledge
her experience her mind itself into his soul merges with aspercia. And now he's one of
the most amazing soul merging scientists there is because he already had a grasp on it and
now he is literally incorporated the kind of the bit that the most prominent scientist
in that field into his own mind. So that's probably a good way to start really like,
oh, I want to use this ability to like incorporate people's minds. I'm going to do it to the
first one I'm going to do to is the best in the field. Yoink. Oh, that's helpful.
Oh, Colin, I don't know if you even remember this, but wasn't it like an old Dragon Ball
movie or part of the old series where I think it was another Saiyan or a character would
he battled like the Saiyans and he basically would absorb their power at the end of it
and I can't remember the name. It was Dr. Jirou Android 19 the fat clown who would I
don't know if it was the I don't know necessarily if it's the androids it might have been something
else but to be fair like all I sell to face is similar to sell us three of life. I'd have
to like read what it's been a while but it reminds you of that or even like sell to sell
didn't sell absorb the drank people. I guess to be fair, this Bellatarios to the equivalent
of like brain soup but cells cells gonna be in fortnight. Oh my god. Well that with that
horrifying statement. You already know I'm fighting. So you can fight John Wick and the
chief and yeah. So about the meanest gritty. Anyway, so basically, Colin, for the first
thread, they flee to holy terror because they're like traitors a cringe. We're going to help
the emperor and they managed to get to holy terror and Bellasaurus is instantly summoned
by a geneticist known as Ezekiel sedan and before anyone mentions. Yes, I pronounce Abaddon's
name as as a Kyle on my channel because that's how it's spelt because there's Ezekiel sedan
and there's also Ezekiel from the death watch and they're not the same name. They're spelt
differently so I don't pronounce them the same. Stop telling me it's pronounced Ezekiel
Abaddon when it's not because it's not. I'm pretty sure bless his name. Good old lovely
chap Arbiter Ian fellow law channel. I'll bite it. I'm sure he might say a few names
wrong just on purpose just to get the one that gets me. I think the man Russ like the
man. Oh man. I still. I was like how's this guy named Lemon Russ.
He's so sour. I had I got a beef with the author Guy Haley which is Gulleyman. It's
not Gulleyman. Or I had yeah like a comment recently saying it's not pronounced you don't
pronounce the E in Ghilam in Rebutae. I was like yes I do. I mean everyone I have ever
met does what is that guy on about. Too fair. It's like it's Gilemon. Too fair to Guy Haley.
Rebute Rebute. Guy Haley's written like three books and other stuff in like some of the
good like recent 40k lore with Gillam in it and then he still gets the name wrong. So
I don't know. The thing is right. I know for a fact that there is someone in GW who has
like a tome of how to pronounce all the words correctly. But I've never like so I've heard
Peachy from Painting Face talk about my art school. But I just want to like pour over
it and be like I will know the pronunciation and scribble out the ones I think are incorrect
and how I think you mean as a Kyle Abaddon. Yeah. Abaddon is the thing that gets me the
most. Yeah. Is he a bad one. He's a bit of a bad and like no Abaddon. Anyway so they
managed to get they get to totally terror. Ezekiel Sedane says call. I need your help
improving the genetic template of the Legion of Astartes. I've been working on it a few
years and cause like oh cool. Foreshadowing. So Sedane is in a bit of a quandary. He's
really old. He's having a lot of trouble using rejuvenate surgeries where basically people
in the Imperium can kind of like like what's it is it F4 refresh whatever the shortcuts
that you can just be like refresh and you can get your body kind of a few years younger
through rejuvenation. Yeah. Yeah. So rejuvenation called rejuvenate treatments. But it's it's
it's not like a sure thing. The more you do it the worse it gets the less effective. And
he's now kind of going I'm getting older and older and I'm still old. This is rubbish.
I'll go and like have a rejuvenate. I only lose like two years. This is rubbish. So he's
desperately trying to find a way to prolong his own life. And that's why he needs Belisarius
because why Belisarius is now the foremost soul merger in the Imperium. So Sedane basically
he kills Fred because he's a dick and he goes yeah free dish is dead and he goes if you
work for me I will help you bring him back to life through your soul merging technology
and my own genetic biologist powers will bring your friend back as long as you do as I say.
So Kool goes OK. And he allows Sedane to try and absorb Belisarius mind into his own. But
so badass is Belisarius and his intelligence that he actually does an uno reverse card and
absorbs Sedane's mind into his own. So Sedane basically just plays right into Belisarius
hands. He learns all of his knowledge that he's been working on for hundreds of years
on how to improve the Legion is Astartes Templar and something weird happens during his absorption
of Sedane and his experience. He starts to absorb his memories and one of them is where
during the unification wars Sedane is speaking to the master of mankind directly. And a weird
thing happens. The emperor is talking to Sedane but he calls him Belisarius and he kind of
does that like fourth wall break where he looks kind of past Sedane and directly speaks
to Belisarius knowing that in the future he's going to absorb Sedane's memories and see
this. It's like a weird that's cool cryptic message he's put in his own memory. And so
the emperor says all right Belisarius the time is going to come soon where I'm not going
to be able to continue the great works of the Imperium. You have to continue my work.
I have two jobs for you. And he basically goes OK. You have to continue basically Sedane's
work on the Astartes but you also have to try and do whatever you can as a pledge to
your god your leader the guy that I know you think I am that you I know you love me. So
do as I say I need you to foster the the imperial innovation and technological advancement in
my stead because I'm not going to be around for long. And Belisarius is like well sure
OK cool. And now he is tasked with some of the most important responsibilities of any
member of the Imperium ever. And I'm going to basically give us a bit of chance to ask
some questions because that's kind of the first chunk about Belisarius call. Now he
is destined to continue the works of the emperor. And have we got any questions about Belisarius
so far. I do have a slight tidbit part which is because some people think when this scene
happens this implies that the emperor always knew the horrors heresy was going to happen
and it was like predestined. Whereas in solving the master of mankind but it sort of explains
how the emperor can see like the future but in a way because the emperor so like like
Conrad Kurs sanguineous they see like glimpses but the emperor is so powerful he can see
so many futures that it's almost like he can see none if you know what I mean. Like it
is almost like again he describes like climbing a mountain like he can see the footholds
but there's so many doesn't know which ones always lead to the mountaintop which is like
his end goal. And I think this might have been talking to Belisarius is like a contingent
essentially where he goes he goes you know if things go along this line I need you to
do something else but then if the horrors heresy never happened then this will never
happen sort of thing. And it would probably be quite helpful to have a pair of hands.
He's like oh that'll be useful he can work for me he'll do it for free brilliant.
If only there were two separate alien races with a hundred percent accurate future prediction
methods.
Not according to the most recent book apparently. The end and the death apparently the Eldar
at the time of now in the death volume two the Eldar can the warp is so messed up they
can no longer see the future at all.
And that's the emperor's fault for making Horus who started that whole shit show.
And basically all the Eldar like sniffling like I think Eldar had to say to them yeah
you didn't want to get involved in the heresy sort of thing you call it snobbing human affairs
and now look at being really helpful.
Yeah that's a further proof Eldar had as a G.
Colin did you have your question or thing for the group.
I did. So since he kind of you know went up to call us like hey you're I don't know he's
back up plan. Alpha Bravo nine whatever number of backup plans he has for this crap. Would
that not technically mean that not only is he not a heretic with all primaris thing everyone
else is. Biggie pretty explicitly told him hey you do your thing.
And that's the thing that's what drives him he's like I literally have our gods or our
prophet or a messiah's blessing shut the fuck and say oh but but oh you just but then if
you're a mechanics guy you're like oh well he just told you that he's like yes what he
told me in a memory and I have no evidence for it but shut up he told me I'm the proper
guy in charge and they're like they should have faith those heretics.
Absolutely exactly. And again you kind of look like a raving lunatic if you were like
God spoke to me in a not a dream in a memory of a dream.
Of another person that I killed. Of another person that I absorbed into my being
and also I'm having memory loss problems guy. It's legit don't worry about it.
Honestly you didn't even need to go that far you could just go hey were you alive in the
great crusade did you see him walking around no so shut up.
I do have. I looked upon Horus and he was cringe that's
better to tell me. I do have a question but it's not really at
all helpful. It's actually a would you rather it's a little one though but it's would you
rather be a sentient servitor or sewed into furniture like the Dark Elm.
What kind of furniture we talking about? I mean to be fair the examples have been like
seats sofas there's even one where Fabius Barla system and making entire building where
it's just people sewed together on the outside. Because I feel like something would suck more
like it's like a wardrobe sucks but then if you're a chair that's probably worse.
Oh Lutie McShootie that's a great name thank you for the five bucks appreciate that brother.
I will preface though as a servitor you're fully conscious and I'm sure we've all like
maybe read a short story where you know like you're like maybe trapped in a body you can't
control but then I'll say the stipulation is if you're so into furniture you will eventually
die. Have you seen the Warhammer TV show that where
it's Angels of Death Origins the second one I think where it's literally a story about
a guardsman running away from the Gene Steelers the mechanic has find him he's gonna escape
and he'll be fine it's like no he just gets turned into like a he gets like fused into
a desk like a computer terminal and it comes like a servitor it's like it's the most depressing
thing I've seen in my life and it's like brilliant but I'm like no thanks.
I played Spacel Deathwing they're like in power courts.
Yeah and it's not pretty either like I'm pretty sure his eyelids are cut off and he's just
like got no legs and he's just in the station and you can kind of see this unhappy look
on his face while he's just eating and you know.
Yes but furniture.
So people get to pick the furniture.
Let's just say it's made into a you know those kind of those couches where it's like a bed
couch and you know people are not not just sitting on it.
Give it a week you're gonna be like covered in farts.
Oh no.
So which one would you rather and let's just say as a servitor you don't get charged like
an another awful situation on top of that it's just you're a servitor.
Servitor you might just be one of the terrible ones though.
You know that's Spider-Man meme or like from the movie where it's like dude I'm already
in you don't have to sell.
What are you talking about the furniture that's what I'm feeling.
That's the worst thing was pretty disgusting.
Lilith Hesbrack's doormat please.
I do fucking I.
I'm volunteer.
Can it cross to the fantasy genre?
Well as a servitor.
Well I was gonna say because then if Colum was like.
He's coat rack and she doesn't wear many coats.
I had a much better.
Maybe not so bad.
I'm walking up to Nagara on myself then.
I mean to say I'll say you're so did to furniture and you're not the only piece.
Let's just company at least.
Yeah.
I guess so.
So is everyone here picking.
You know I could be like sewn into like a shared wardrobe like right.
Yeah sucks.
Yeah.
I'll have someone to talk to and shoot the shit with.
Yeah.
Then I'd want to be like a combat servitor or something.
No I think you can't die as a servitor.
You don't die.
But then you I guess you get to see some action and do stuff at least.
Although although servitors do deteriorate over time there's like that one again there's
the premise of the mechanic is things like the servitor that is in that position is kind
of jittering and it's like and she's like oh we need a new thing.
Kill that one.
Put a new one in.
Oh we're just we're just like also the chat is saying only verse inquisitor or inquisition
episode.
That's pretty awesome.
Not bad we do need to do inquisition at some point to be fair.
We do need to.
So apparently every one of us is degenerate and we're going to be sewed into a couch.
I'd be so.
Hello is that is that to serve it to a two wallpaper couch.
I think so something like that.
Horrific and I'm glad everyone has nightmares about that.
That's pretty much my question.
I am your walls.
I'm not in your way.
I mean to fair what if you're the corner.
That would be the worst bit for me.
For no reason the corner sounds worse.
That's pretty much my on on brand question though.
Definitely not a servitor though.
I am trapped in a body which you can't control is my worst nightmare.
Yeah Eli do you have any questions that or do we move on.
I think we're going on.
Yeah I was gonna make fun of the emperor but then you you defended him preemptively so
it was fun.
I think it's about how it's like the timeline doesn't seem to work on it.
Yeah that's just a theory though like it being a sort of a contingency.
I guess there's not really many other contingencies but it's fine.
I mean that's true.
You authors make up a lot of stuff afterwards when they realize that they messed up.
I thought the guy who made the lion punch his own son's head off and everyone's like
us is weird.
But we will descend deeper now into the next layer of the mechanical chromed up iceberg
here I believe.
To be fair Balasar is cool himself.
Is this like 30k Balasar is he still pretty man shaped though I think Andy.
I don't know if you have a reference.
He's quite a manly Magos.
He's not like the current he's not in his current beautiful form is what I mean.
I'll kind of go into that but the slide into that has already begun because put it this
way.
Put yourself in Balasar's metal shoes.
You've just survived the Horus heresy.
It's over.
The Emperor is now wounded.
He's now interred on the Golden Throne.
All the loyalist Primarchs are going to chase after the traitors and you just had a vision
not even a vision you've had a direct go ahead permission pink slip whatever you want to
call it from the god of your cult to say do what you got to do.
You have my blessing.
Get stuff done.
You're not allowed to take any days off.
You're not allowed to quit.
You're now my my my appointed most important inventor and technical marvel maker of my
empire.
So he basically gets the same amount of holiday as they do in America.
Exactly.
The wage slave epitomized oh you would just you make no money and you have to do it and
you're going to do this for 10,000 years.
Two weeks luxury.
Bucking my day we did.
I was born in a flat.
I was and I can't believe I have to if I get ill I have to take my holiday.
I was 14 on my second day in this world.
I didn't have a childhood.
I was speaking Spanish by the age of two days old.
Yeah anyway so he's been tasked with that by the emperor but he's also got another person
giving him orders and before the boot a Gilliman goes out to chase the traitors he's now been
appointed the Lord Commander of the Imperium.
He's now in the he's now the de facto veto in charge most important person of the Imperium
and before he goes and chases traitors he says to call look I've heard about you you're
important.
Dad's told me about you.
I've got two jobs for you.
I know about your your dealings with Sedane.
You need to you need to work on.
Well sorry got that wrong.
The emperor told him that that was his main thing.
The emperor said you've got to work on the the new breed of primus but Gilliman said
I need you to do one thing for me.
First of all I need to fail safe in case I get wounded really badly and get killed.
So Rabute Gilliman tasks Bellisaurus with creating the armor of fate which is a war
suit capable of sustaining his life should the worst come to the worst because he's now
the most important person in the Imperium.
It would really suck if he got wounded.
Before I get to the next point Lutti McShootie donated five dollars and says when is chaos
Mc MF doom gonna rap us a verse about one beer one day.
Thank you.
Where was I.
So yeah so the first job is I need a I need a fail safe in case I get wounded.
The second thing is this sword the emperor swords pretty cool right.
Yeah I need you to look after this because I'm not going to go charging out into the
Imperial to the wider part of space with this really important sword.
It's kind of important kind of kill like demons and any immaterial force.
It's a bit too valuable for me to go gallivanting off with this even though I'm in charge.
So look after that as well and I'm going to go off and chase full grim.
So so Bobby G instantly goes to meet full grooming gets crunked and gets bodied.
So it's a good thing that Bellisaurus has been working on the armor of fate but on its
own it's not going to help Gilliman.
This is literally just a thing of if he was on if he needed a life support system that
was in a suit of armor if he had to be interred in like the equivalent of like a Primark version
of a sarcophagus for a dreadnought.
This is kind of what the armor of fate does.
It won't revive him from the poison of full groom's blade because basically Gilliman went
for full grim full grim poisoned him by stabbing him with a blade poison put him in a coma
armor of fate school.
It's not going to bring him back.
It's just a nice piece of armor that will sustain him if he ever wakes up for his soul.
Yeah.
He wounded his very soul so like a piece of armor doesn't matter how cool the armor is
not going to bring his soul back but it's really cool.
You see his model is pretty flashy.
So he's done that first thing.
That's not too bad.
So he's done one job.
He's done the other job.
Emperor's sword is nice and tucked away.
The custodians are also involved.
It's not a problem.
So he's already kind of checked off the list the things that Gilliman wanted to do even
though he's now kind of he's now like in the equivalent of like you know that that scene
in The Simpsons where where Lenin's in the glass sarcophagus that's Gilliman right now
in Ultramar.
Isn't that in real history as well?
Isn't Lenin still in?
Yeah, yeah.
It's a little viewing in case you were thinking.
Oh, you'll look at him.
God, I'm so you know what I do my Saturday.
Let's go look at this.
There at Lenin's dead body.
I wish I could look at a dead communist today.
That does sound like pretty appropriate.
But yeah, so he's already done.
Back to back Cold War World War champs.
Yeah, you got no commies.
Where's McCarthy?
Get the commies.
Someone breaking here.
The storm deck.
Richard Nixon.
But anyway, so Gilliman's tasks have already been accomplished.
But now Cole has to do the Emperor's work and the Emperor's work is such he needs to
tinker and tweak the Primaris Space Marines as they are right now.
So he's already got Sir Dane's knowledge.
He's already got some information that the Emperor has left him.
But I know a lot of people like how the hell can Belisarius improve the perfect designs
of the Emperor?
And we've got to bear in mind the Emperor during the Wars of Unification only had terror
as a resource.
So he had the Thunder Warriors.
He built the Thunder Warriors and originally they had like scraps of armor.
They didn't have sealed suits and then they made those.
But then when he embarked upon the galaxy, he made all the legions and he basically had
to cobble together together a force before they even had like the sealed suits with the
Mark II armor, their space fleets, blah, blah.
So the Mechanicum was just churning out space fleets.
It was creating armor.
It was creating weapons.
But it was kind of on a deadline.
Like we've got to do the Great Crusade.
We've got to do it in like a few hundred years.
Oh no, the Horus Heresies started bollocks.
Oh no, all our resources are split in half and the traitors.
Oh no, they've broken planets.
Oh no, the adepts of Mars are having a civil war and they've defected.
It's not the best situation.
Not only that, the end of the Horus Heresy, there are still traitor occupied planets.
The Mechanicum has still got the Dark Mechanicum causing trouble and the Emperor is wounded
and the resources aren't optimal and the Empire is slowly dying.
So I think the idea to get into people's head is that yes, Belisarius improved, but it took
him 10,000 years and that's a long time.
Like a couple of years make the entire Legionis Astartes very impressive, but 10,000 years
to slowly scratch and scrape and bring the resources to bear and tinker and make failures
and maybe vent them into, I don't know, a furnace or whatever.
But over time-
As one does.
But over time, Belisarius managed to improve on the design, creating things like the Belisarian
furnace and extra pair of organs that go in.
Like the furnace, I remember listening to, it's a darkness in the blood where Mephiston
becomes a Primaris and it talks about how with the Rubicon Primaris, you take the existing
organs, you put this furnace and you put the other stuff in and it supercharges the Astartes
growth hormones and everything.
So it's like you plonk everything in the microwave, then you turn it on, it expands.
It's like, pop, you've got a Primaris.
But it's also really dangerous to do on firstborns because they're obviously in the 41st millennium,
they've obviously had slowly degenerating gene seed and mutations and they've also been
through lots of war and they're not in their primer, their lives and blah, blah, blah.
I remember it explained that they have to peel back Mephiston's skin.
Yeah, they peel back the skin and then they have to implant all this stuff and then they
have to fit the black carapace improvement.
What's it called?
Because you've got the black carapace with the spots where it just clinks the armor on
and then they have that bodysuit they wear now.
I can't remember what it's called, but it's got like muscle weave technology and stuff
in the design.
Oh, they also put fibers over their chest as well.
Yeah, and they put like fibers in their skin layer so it gets tougher and all that.
So it's a lot of stuff and it's very impressive that Belisarius managed to do it.
Yeah, my primary marines can get crunked so easy on the tabletop.
It's very frustrating.
Yeah, unless you have Gravis armor.
Thank God for that.
We never have lower accurate space marines on the tabletop.
But it is also worth noting as well.
So the Primaris space marines have been tinkered away for 10,000 years.
They are pretty close to like the optimal genetic imprint of the original first born
space marines.
Now, in the 41st millennium, they're unleashed, but they've basically been kept in stasis
for 10,000 years.
There's no continual batch of recruits, so to speak.
They literally just had like a bunch of soldiers put in stasis for 10,000 years and they tweaked
and tinkered with them until they were ready.
So they're actually like very pure in their genetic makeup.
And that's one of the reasons, for example, in modern law with factions like the Blood
Angels and the Space Wolves, etc., their gene flaws aren't as pronounced.
There are obviously some problems taking part, for example, with the Blood Angels, where
the red first and the black rage are now starting to be shown in the Primaris.
But that could also be because they've been accelerated because of their improved genetic
structure and all these new organs they've been fitted with.
But either way, that's a tangent for another time.
So all the candidates were drawn from the genetic stock of the Legiones Astartes.
Now the Legions have been sundered into chapters and Belisarius is just tinkering away.
Over the next few millennia, he becomes a Forge Lord.
He becomes a Legio Arcanus.
He becomes a Magos biologist.
And over the millennia, he begins to master different arts of both biology and technology
until he's becoming a savant in numerous ways, more so than anyone else in the Mechanicus.
And he's not tethered to dogma.
Unlike everyone else in the Mechanicus, one, he's not tethered to dogma, but two, he's
of a position of enough authority that no one can really try to kill him or stop him.
It's like, oh, that's that crazy Belisarius guy who says he spoke to the emperor.
We don't talk about him.
I guess it could be argued that you feel like, oh, it took him 10,000 years to make the Primaris
Marines, but maybe he didn't have the resources to even enact that until he was an actual
Arch Magos, which is one of the highest ranks.
Yeah.
It's not only do you have bits of stuff from the emperor that he's left behind, and you
can't ask him about stuff or sit with a cup of coffee and be like, so how did you do the
gene or how I made the gene seed using this gubbins?
He doesn't have that.
And one of the reasons he's going up the ranks is he's trying to learn different parts of
how they can be incorporated into his works, whether it's designing new weapons or improving
the Astartes.
But again, he still is really disdainful of people who replace their body parts with Org-metix.
However, because he's been tasked by the emperor to do all these jobs, he realizes if I'm going
to survive the next few thousand years, if I'm going to continue to innovate, I have
to make some sacrifices.
So he starts replacing parts of his organs and brains.
I'm like 10,000 years old at the end.
I'm 185.
I've been drinking a bit too much.
Oh, I'm 785.
My eyes are getting a bit, I'll replace them.
Oh, my arm is getting a bit shaky.
I need to have a metal wand to stop me dropping things.
And over time, he becomes more machine.
He becomes more machine than man.
Everyone can be quite few.
And as time goes on, he's getting more and more influence with the legio titanicus or
legio custodians, with the many components of the emperor's war machine.
He's starting to make alliances.
He's starting to get more power in the mechanicus itself.
And his reliance on soul merging continues to grow.
Because from his perspective, I could spend the next 500 years learning how to master
this technology, or I could just yoink this guy, put his brain in mine.
Cool, I know all that stuff now.
So he's incorporating more and more and more people into his subconscious and his mind.
He's now by the 41st millennium, he's like possibly hundreds of or even thousands of
different individuals all incorporated into one body.
And he's not a hive mind.
He's not like the tyrannids.
He's not like that.
He's a guy who's just kind of made, he's just incorporated all these memories and experiences
and people into his mind.
And again, he continually reaches the limit of his intelligence cause memory.
So after 500, the first 500 years of work, he has to delete parts of his memory to incorporate
new memories and new knowledge.
Because of these, his mind wiped himself twice.
He regularly dumps his memory into storage devices to free up space.
And because of this, he's becoming a bit forgetful.
Because of this, he's becoming less compassionate towards people because, oh, life doesn't matter.
Your existence doesn't matter.
I have stuff to do.
You need to give me this to get the job done.
And over time, he eventually earns the title of dominatus dominus or master of masters
by the mechanicus due to his immense amounts of works that he's done for the cult over
the millennia.
He's utterly dedicated to preserving humanity despite its ever dwindling resources and odds
of survival.
And he roams the galaxy in search of ancient artifacts, relics, and Xenos stuff in order
to one, utilize it to stave off the darkness, but also learn new methods of weird arcane
technology.
He's very clandestine in nature due to his continued suspicion from the mechanicus of
talking with aliens or you're not allowed to make the Bugatti Veyron from the STC.
You have to use the Ford Fiesta that we have used for the last 10,000 years because that's
what we do.
We don't innovate.
We can't marry the VTuber.
That's so sad.
We also have a donation from Tom Warren for $5.
Thank you, Tom Warren.
Thank you.
I must make the ultimate sacrifice becoming an immortal robot man as you wish, if you
must.
If you guys could, which part of your body would you replace with a mechanical substitute?
Why do I need to pick one?
Why can't it be just everything?
Can I start easy?
Pancreas?
Yeah, truly, that has to be your first answer.
I was going to say some like, you know, like arms or legs for cool cyber bits, but yeah,
I'd like more diabetes, please.
It's a bit of a shame because it's like you could have like kangaroo legs.
We like, I got to get this done first.
Honestly, this takes priority.
I'd probably do something like knees because at some point I'm going to get old.
My poor knees.
That's why I said legs.
No, but not the whole leg.
I sort of, you know, I want to be Lieutenant Dan.
I still got my legs.
You will have your legs.
They'll just be metal and you can take them on and off at will.
I just want to feel my legs.
I was thinking like, I was singing like, which is organs in general.
I'd probably, I want to keep my skin and just regular muscles and flesh like your skin,
your skin, kidneys and liver and things like that.
Maybe not the stomach.
I'd want to keep my stomach because your stomach's like a second brain.
I don't think I would like you Andy.
It kind of sounds a bit generic, but I'd love to get like a robotic arm.
I'd like to have one of those ones where I could like, it could like, have you seen
that?
I don't know what it is, but like the hand rotates into the arm and then all of a sudden
you've got a whisk or you've got a knife or a screwdriver or whatever.
And I could be like, I could just be like gadget man.
Like look at all these things or I can open doors.
Metal bones would be nice.
Like metal encased bones, I guess, because you still need the actual bones with your
marrow and stuff.
I mean, I like the, again, the Deus Ex Sarif industry stuff where you can see the person
playing piano with the metal hands or throwing a football.
Oh, that's quite fun.
It looks sleek and shiny.
Although if it's mechanic, it's probably a bit more like robust, I guess is the word
for it where it's just clunky looking.
It looks like a church organ at the same time.
I was thinking something like a joke earlier.
You have to dip it in the blessed oil.
You remind me earlier, like a joke we all probably know, but it was like when you're
saying how Bellasaurus Cool would get all, like, oh, you know, he's finally upgrading
his body.
He's like feeling, you know, a bit weird about it or like he judges himself.
And I remember thinking about the joke where someone says, oh my God, girls can get toys.
But if I ordered the, you know, the 1000 with dispensing trays and something, something
collection things and disc cleaners and I'm judged.
I think I have another, thank you again from a Lutie McShoot, that's a two dollars McShootie
McPoopie would be a good bit to add to that.
All chrome duck tombs.
Thank you so much, brother.
I didn't mean to say your name or imply that you did anyway.
Collecting traces in my brain.
So yeah, we've, we've, we've what's going on with call probably the first few millennia
of his service since the Horus heresy.
He's getting very, very forgetful.
He requires solar decades to recuperate his body in a personal state stasis crypt.
So every few hundred years he literally has to go like, I need to have like a rest.
I need a day off.
I need a holiday.
And he'll just like put himself in stasis.
And then by the time he's had a nice rest, he'll just kind of jump out and be like, right,
where in to go recharge my batteries, which is pretty cool.
We got another one, um, another donation from golden arm garden.
Thank you.
Free euros, I believe.
Uh, he said I'd replace my eyes.
I want them to glow in the dark.
That's so like, he doesn't get run over.
Oh, this is the thing.
Like, do you have, do you guys have cat's eyes in the U S or Canada on the road?
It's um, the little like reflectors, some more effective lights in the middle, like the,
in the middle of the road or the side sometimes.
Cause they're all over the UK, but my God, some, there are some places in like Europe,
they are not.
I mean, I remember driving up in the Alps and thinking, I might die here.
This is scary.
It depends on where it is in America, like around where I live.
Cause it's in, you know, Chicago land area.
Yeah.
They're on pretty much every street, but you go to like backwards, you know, Midwest.
So you leave Chicago and you're in the rest of the Midwest.
It's like, boy, it sure is dark.
I hope there's a road in front of me.
Why is everyone crap on the Midwest?
What's wrong with the Midwest?
It's because there's two, there's three things in it.
There's Chicago, there's St. Louis, and then there's endless fields of corn.
That's what you have jumping in front of the road though.
We do get that sometimes.
We also get raccoons jumping in front of the road.
Shout out to that raccoon who did that when I was driving with my entire family.
You could just wipe them off the windscreen.
It's like an elk or a deer.
He was like, Oh my gosh, that pancreas no work.
I already want to meet him.
Splat.
Dude, you ran perpendicular to the car, but it wasn't perfectly perpendicular.
So I had enough time to go, Oh, I'm about to hit that thing.
I have a confession as well.
I may have a couple of years ago, by accident, murked a badger on the road.
Oh no.
That's how it is.
Man, European badgers are so much nicer than American badgers too.
That sucks.
I know, but that was, I couldn't stop.
And then it broke my radiator.
Oh my gosh.
So it got back.
We have another fellow.
Eldridge, the old great one for $5.
Yes.
I'd replace his legs that way.
No more need for a car when you can run at 40 miles per hour.
And we have Australian $20 from Lilao Riu.
Thank you.
I have Crohn's disease and the weakness of my flesh disgusts me.
I crave the certainty of steel.
I have 80's guitar arrangers.
I have 120 shots hitting on twos, sixes are mortal wounds, ninth was completely fair.
Happy face.
Thank you Lelouch.
Big shout out to the Mechanicus weapon that is just them giving everyone on the battlefield
cancer.
We all appreciate how the Mechanicus trailer is like one of the best memes.
Not even meme meme, but it's just like iconic moments.
I crave the certainty of steel.
I aspire to the purity of the blessed machine.
Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not rot and decay.
We should get Voldemort just to do the entire thing for us randomly.
Fabulous.
The machine is immortal.
I do have a quick question.
How much for, because obviously Bellisario's call from a lore perspective just keeps chucking
memories and things into his brain.
At what point, like what decisive point is he no longer Bellisario's call, if you know
what I mean?
That's always what Fabius Biles is thinking too.
I think it depends on which AI is dominant at the time.
Yeah.
I mean, in a tangential way, you know that thing about how, for example, they say, is
it something like biologically because of the way that we shed cells and regrow them,
you're not technically the same person after about 18 years?
Yeah.
I think it's all that.
Yeah.
So like every portion of your life, you're technically not the same person you used to
be, but the memories and parts of you are what make you you.
I suppose the question about Bellisarius is maybe the only thing that tethers him to his
original purpose is his pledge to the emperor to serve him.
And that's the only thing that remains of him.
Like, I'm going to serve the emperor to the point where he doesn't even remember why.
And he was like, no, I serve the emperor because that's what I'm supposed to do.
And he's like, oh, do you remember Fred?
No.
Who?
I don't remember Friedish.
I think I shoved him in my brain.
I don't know if this is going to be spoilers for possibly some later bits from you, Andy,
but there's no part where he explains, explains how his brain works.
And some of the books where like there's like a child that is like randomly in his experimentation
room is like, ah, he's out of place.
And he'd like in his brain, literally you hear him switch, switch to which dial almost
like what personality he wants to switch to.
And he goes like, friendly.
No, yes.
There you go.
Although I love that.
I think there as well with is about the battle fleet Gothic where he meets Creed and he's
in the thing.
He's like, I need to check the pylons.
And there's like all this information on his like visuals.
And there's one point where he says to Creed, I need to investigate the pylons.
And he's running checks of like, if I have to kill him, what's the percent chances that
he will like not survive.
And it's like 5%.
Like, yeah, I will kill him if I have to.
If he says no.
Yeah.
Oh, he's a savage.
He will just kill us or all Creed if he says I'm not allowed.
And he actually has like a percentage chance of how he's going to get away with it going
just in case.
Like, yeah, he does not mess around.
And it's brilliant.
The funny thing about that too is that, oh, sorry.
The, the first percentage was like 33%, which means he fully expected to have to start taking
bodies.
Yeah.
This is a, I find it funny after he lives like that long and he has so many personalities
and then suppose like geniuses and, you know, crazy, whatever, like the people at the top
of their fields.
And as soon as he sees Trace in the infinite, he goes like a bomb, a bombination filthy
so far that every single person who was incorporated in his brain was like, oh, I prefer so and
so honored guest.
That's your cheeky boy.
But yeah, so, so at this point he's he's several hundred years into his service.
He goes into these sometimes decades long sleeps to recharge his batteries quite literally.
But once he's done with that, he's renewed with purpose and he's raring to go.
He gets back into it.
He's now got leagues of skitari legions if he needs them, entire armies of the mechanicus.
He has he's, he's got probably a lot of ties to, for example, the iron hands and other
chapters which need the weapons that the mechanicus makes and astral military regiments where
they need what he he provides.
But it's also worth saying that Bellisarius isn't really a fighter, but he can throw down
if he needs to.
So Bellisarius is massive at this point.
He's bigger than a custodian.
He's bigger than a primark.
He is gargantuan.
He's got several limbs.
He's outfitted with weapons such as the arc scourge, which can exercise heretical machine
spirits from your armor or your weapons or your spaceship if you need.
But you can just be like, it's gone now.
It's not going to work.
I just exercise this machine spirit from existence.
He is task manager as a weapon.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
He has 404 error on all your stuff.
He has the solar atomizer melter weapon, which can just like burn through pretty much anything.
He wields this gigantic omni-sci and axe and he's got like several arms.
So he's actually quite adept at just like this thing that's bigger than a custodian.
It's got a huge axe.
I think just be like both.
My favorite thing is he can move.
This guy can move.
Oh, yeah.
He skitters literally along the ground.
He's got a little beetle leg so he can charge.
Like I feel like it'd be terrifying just seeing what like maximum speed he can scuttle at because
like humans in our bones, we hate things that scuttle because when we were growing up as
like a small species, things that scuttled or slivered killed people because snakes and
stuff and scorpions.
So to see him like, oh, no, thank you.
There was a skittering pensioner retiree.
That's 20 foot tall wielding a gigantic axe.
But yeah, he also has a bunch of mechadendrites which can just completely swamp his enemies.
So if ever he's like, I'm busy.
Oh, I'm being torn apart by these tiny robot creatures.
Ow.
But again, it's worth mentioning.
He's not really bothered about combat.
Combat is a means to an end.
If he has to throw down, he'll be like out of my way.
But he's not going to the battlefield as a commander going, I'm going to lead my men
to win a campaign.
He's like, I need to investigate that thing over there.
And there's a bunch of Black Legion in the way.
Let's just carve through them so we can get over there.
That's pretty much the only time he goes into combat because he's not bothered about leading
armies.
He could probably do it really well with his tactical brilliance and ability to break down
information so quickly.
But that's not his thing.
He's a scientist.
He's an inventor.
He's an explorer.
So he's not going to be doing that.
But he eventually would design dozens of revolutionary weapons like, for example, all of the Mark
10 Primaris armor or the new type of dreadnoughts or the new call pattern bolters.
He's been recovering STCs.
He's been learning information from databases of Xenos races that are long extinct.
He seizes ancient architect from worlds that haven't been seen by humanity for millennia.
He was very crucial during the aiding of Cadia during Abaddon the Spoiler's 13th Black Crusade
where he is investigating the Blackstone pylons and he met with the honored guest, Trazin
the Infinite.
And after calling him an abomination, he reluctantly worked alongside Trazin to attempt to use the
pylons to contain the Eye of Terror.
Because again, Abaddon's whole thing is he wants to make the great rift, which is the
expanded version of the Eye of Terror.
So more chaos gooey warp stuff, more chaos stuff happen.
That's good for Abaddon.
So his whole thing is he wants to destroy Cadia so that the Eye of Terror, which is
already a big nuisance, grows and splits the galaxy in two.
And Trazin and by extension, Belisarius are like, we don't want that to happen because
chaos is cringe.
So they work together.
They start to shrink the Eye of Terror using the pylons.
And then Abaddon has a hissy fit and he throws a Blackstone fortress called the Will of Eternity
to collide with Cadia and blow it up, which works, which is really annoying.
It was the ultimate like, child threw down the toys of another child's install.
It's literally like throwing the table with all the chess pieces up.
Still won though.
We gotta hope Sandman is not here right now.
Listen Ed, okay.
He got me happy.
Ed, he failed, like, kind of, a little bit.
So he literally went, oh, screw it, and just threw the entire thing.
It's literally like, imagine you and a guy were playing chess on a chessboard and you
won and then he just got a sledgehammer and went, no, and just did that.
Or shot the chessboard down your mouth or something.
It broke the chessboard, it broke the table and it landed on your foot and it really hurt.
Chessboard to stomach.
Now I'm happy to make out of chaos.
It's not Abaddon's fault that, you know, he blew up the planet.
I mean, it is his fault, but you know.
What do you do as you lose?
He's like, well, I got enough time to ball and he balled.
Well, there's a bit where like he even invades and he's trying to get to call while call
is working on the pylons and trawling, summoning, great facts and all these like he's poker
balling like all these guys in the fight.
Yeah, he's like, I've got a regimen of summing.
I think it's destroyings in it.
All right, that'll do.
Great facts.
You're in.
Here's some space Marines.
Cool.
Here's a custodies I had.
We just chucking stuff.
And better sorry, keep them off me while I press these buttons.
And he just pressed in the buttons and they shrink the idea.
But then Katie blows up Kaboom.
The one of the last things containing the Eye of Terror is now gone.
And I think it's somewhat supposition because I think there's some people who say that it's
not technically Katie are blowing up that stop that allows the rift to grow.
But practically speaking, it does.
So it was the pylons on Katie.
So functional.
Yeah, Katie, you're blowing up.
Yeah.
And that's kind of like, it's a weird thing where humanity was like, oh, Katie is important
because it's got lots of cool resources.
And like, the giga Chad, no, actually, it's the pylons.
That's why Katie is important.
You're stupid.
Common Necron W.
Yeah, put out someone who said, imagine looking like General Grievous, but big.
It's big hashtag Grievous is coughing all the time.
Dude, as long as it's the cartoon Grievous.
I am so terrified.
Yeah.
I scared me the kid.
The one where it's like all the Jedi are in that.
Yeah.
The crash down.
One in that crashed.
She had a Monday and all those guys.
You know, the first guy who looks like Shaggy from Screamin' Die just runs forward.
It was even like Shaggy, or Shaggy.
Pretty tongue in cheek.
Or that clone whose skull he implanted in the wall of his foot.
Man, that was so cool.
Yeah.
Although it's not as cool as the clone trooper who is getting overrun.
He just like, dual, like grabs the rifle and just like blowing up.
Commander Fordo.
Classic scene.
Yeah, yeah.
That guy is just like, I don't care.
Best character in Star Wars.
Yeah, so the pylons are destroyed.
The IF Terra is expanded.
The Sycatrix, Maledictum, or Great Rift is a thing.
That sucks.
So Belisarius is like, shit.
My most important goal right now is to stop the spread of chaos.
This is a bad day.
So he works alongside Grey Fax, who's now been like released from her imprisonment.
Hold on.
We've got a $2 donation.
Thank you very much.
From Tom Warren.
Thank you.
Construct positional pylons.
Very good.
Command and Conquer reference.
Insufficient command points.
What was StarCraft?
Was it StarCraft?
Oh, maybe I'm just getting confused.
I've played neither of those games, so I could be wrong.
I've not played StarCraft, but I have played Command and Conquer, especially the third
ones.
What's the game where they have the actors in like, and then it's like, I must go to
the last place there are, where there are no cards.
I get a dozen.
Spice.
They're so good.
And then you got JK Simmons as the president of the United States, which is brilliant in
that one.
You got George Takei as the emperor of Japan.
The guy laughs in the middle of the take.
He's just like, the last place there.
The Congress.
But it's so well done.
They're like, no, we're keeping that.
Spice.
I love Tim Curry.
Tim Curry is a national red alert.
He's brilliant.
Red alert free.
Yeah.
Hell marks go so hard.
Hello.
We've got Omsk Commissar donating 100 CZK.
Ooh.
Saying, here for getting me addicted to Gotrick and Felix.
Yes.
It's such a good series.
We're already hooked.
We'll have a part two, I'm sure, in the coming months.
Definitely.
Well, the thing is, we've got to get through Felix, Gotrick and Felix, but we've also got
to go back to the Great Crusade at some point.
So there's still a lot to do.
But yeah, so Grey Facts has been released from her long imprisonment by Trazin, just
as a bit of a fun lol.
So she's active.
Marshal Marius Amalric of the Black Templars, the living saint of the Sororitas Celestine
and call all band together to try and get as many people out of the remnants of Kadia
as possible and form the so-called Celestinean Crusade in order to get as many survivors
as they can on their warships that are remaining to get the hell out of the Kadia system while
chaos are laughing like maniacs going, we fucking did it.
We did a crusade that actually did something useful.
Brilliant.
And Abaddon's like, I see it, I told you.
I'm not useless.
So fleeing the chaos war fleets of Abaddon, Khol sets his own flagship, the Iron Revenant
to face the Black Legion as a sacrifice so that they can escape.
Because again, Abaddon's commanding the vengeful spirit, which is Horus Lupical's original
flagship, which is Gloria on a class battleship, which is Mahusif.
It's like one of the biggest ships ever created.
So good luck fighting that thing.
So Khol is like, hmm, we need a distraction.
I will send my extremely powerful flagship just to distract them.
And then all the Skatari cuddle their toasters and meet their doom.
But in their escape, they are aided by the Inari via a webway gate.
And the Celestinian crusade begin their venture to the Ultramar system as Khol is harboring
the armor of fate for its intended destination to find the avenging sun.
So thanks, Yvrain and the elves.
You're not all bad, but most of you are.
You know what, that's the closest thing I'm going to get to a councilman out of them,
when the Eldar, I will take it.
They helped Mac Daddy Mechanicus, so they're all right in my books.
They're about to help a bit more as well when they're about to do.
Well, you know how I said, for example, earlier that the armor of fate is cool, but it's been
lying around for a few millennia.
So has Ravute Giliman in his coffin, but on the pitch.
And people like taking pilgrimages to Ultramar going, look at him.
Oh, he's still asleep.
Oh, he's big, isn't he?
Look at the dead communist.
He's got a lovely laurel.
Oh, he's got a very lovely laurel.
That's a nice laurel.
Even Dante the Blood Angel, I think he mentions at some point, he was at Macragge and he saw
Giliman in the...
Yeah, there's not many Primarchs you can just see lying in state.
Even Sanguinis is in a sarcophagus and he's been killed.
Whereas Giliman's alive, so it's more like it's a pilgrimage spot where, oh, this is
a nice way of rekindling a bit of hope.
Any chapter, any militarum rest, anyone, if they...
For life that they live, can go visit Giliman and be like, oh, well, he's still around technically.
And he's like a reminder of the good old days before all the blood shed.
It must be pretty crazy too, in the 41st millennium, being like, oh yeah, Primarch, whatever, the
myth thing.
And then it actually turns out, oh, that's actually like a Primarch.
They were real.
It's like the only physical, like here, it's not made up.
We weren't making...
This isn't propaganda.
It's real.
Oh my.
You go, look, I took a photo when I was over in Ultramar.
Oh yeah, he is.
Oh, that's quite cool.
That's Photoshop, mate.
No one's that big.
But yeah, so they go to Ultramar and...
He's actually bigger.
He's actually, he's bigger in real life.
That's where he's more small, I swear.
But unfortunately, the Black Legion are not content blowing up Cadia, where I still cry
to seeing, I have a photo of Cadia and Sanguineous next to my bed.
So every day I wake up, I shed a tear.
I sob violently when that Cadia's there.
I cry a single tear for those two.
And then I pine over a picture of Jagatite and then I caress the glass and I go, one
day he'll come back.
So yeah, the Black Legion are in full twirling evil mustache mode.
And they're like, we're going to go blow up Ultramar.
Why not?
Oh, we've got a Poymark, oh, you just sleep, ooh, we're going to go kill him.
So they go to Ultramar and they're emboldened because they've just made this massive rend
in the galaxy.
So yeah, let's go kill Gilliman.
Yeah, sounds like a fun thing to do.
Let's just do that.
Yeah, they're like, we've just conquered.
So we've just done this massive crusade.
Why not?
So the Celestian crusade get there with the Eldar in tow and they managed to reach Gilliman.
Now Core's like, right, this is not going well.
There's kind of a lot of Black Legion killing everyone.
It'd be really handy if we could get this big guy off his ass and doing something useful.
So with Yrraen's help, he fits the Armor of Fate to Bobbie G. And if Yrraen starts a kind
of ritual, a resurrection Eldar magic MacGuffin thing.
So with the Daughter of Shades' help, they managed to resurrect Rabuteh Gilliman after
10,000 years, millennia of slumber.
And he crunks everything.
Oh, that scene is amazing.
Even if it's just in the supplementary book, it explains how Yrraen is the Anarch or the
Vizark.
The Vizark, her like a guard sort of thing.
They basically, Belazarus Kull heals his body in the wound, but then the damage done to
his Gilliman's soul is healed by Yrraen basically sacrificing Black Legion souls to sort of
repair Gilliman's.
And then when the Rediqui pops down, I think even says in Belazarus Kull's voice, like
green, it's like go, go, go.
And then it like, it like shuts down.
And then everyone who's in the Library of Ptolemy, I think, or the, the, the Hera, Temple
of Hera or something.
Yeah, Temple of Hera.
They're in like this, the inner sanctum, there's always Ultramarines and Black Legion fighters
and they all just stop and they all like turn to see Gilliman.
And literally you can hear like the booms of the battle outside and they all go, oh
my god.
And then no one's like, and then Gilliman's face just like pure like rage.
It just looks pissed off.
And then one single, and then one single Korn Berserker guy's like, ah, like yells and runs
towards him, Gilliman.
And then he immediately like splits him in two and then just starts, doof, doof, doof,
like charging in.
I still, I still think the closest we can see as a comparison is the, the Fellowship
of the Ring, the beginning when Sauron's looming over all the Gondor men and the Elves and
they all just stop fighting and then he's just like, problem.
And then he just goes bat and then like 15 of them go flying and they all die.
He has a rule.
That's basically Gilliman.
He has a rule in the tabletop game to do that.
Oh wow.
I like to think of it as a, oh.
Go ahead.
I just, I just like to think of it as a, it's like 40K's version of the Rogue One hallway
scene.
Help us!
But it's a, it's a world eater who's betrayed.
He's now part of the Black Legion, he's like, ah, like the nails have just gone like, nope,
I'm out.
My, my favorite part, my favorite thing about it.
I'm angry.
Look at that guy.
My favorite thing about it is the fact that Gilliman is so ginormous and his armor obviously
weighs a ton and then he just moves faster than everyone else in the room.
It's just like, imagine like one footstep is like, oh my God, an actual tank.
And Belisarius calls to basically charge forth holding his axe.
He's like, yeah, like, yeah, yes, Queen.
Yes, Queen.
Yes.
And they have Drago as well and Vrain and the Black Templars and all the ultramarines
second company.
It must be weird because calls like, for people listening, calls like as, he can look at Gilliman
eye level, that's how big he is.
Because obviously he's been juicing and then say, I imagine call whenever he's in battle,
he's like way above even a star.
He's just like, cleaving with an axe, even though he looks completely in a weird proportion.
But he doesn't have great posture, so he could probably actually be taller if he was like
straightening his back out.
There we go.
Does he have his, does Carl have like backup plans if he dies, like Fabius stuff?
He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would actually go fight in battle because he'd be
too important.
Well, he does have the call in theories, which are like his surrogates and he tends to, I
don't think he has necessarily a backup of himself.
It's more a case of he uses the call in theories, which are like amalgamated, like lesser versions
of himself, which if you looked at him, you're like, that's Belisarius call.
But really it's just like a copy.
And he's like, I'm going to send you in my stead because that's dangerous and you can
die and that's fine.
Because you're just like a copy of me and you're not really like, you don't have a soul.
You don't have like, ain't got no soul.
You're just like a construct.
And even when there's like, is it call is speaking to, there's a book where there's
an inferior talking to someone.
I can't remember who it is.
Maybe it's Gilliman.
I think it is.
Yeah, I think it is.
And they're having a conversation.
He's like, I'm not the real call.
Like you can have a go at me.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't, I'm irrelevant.
I'm just like a tool that the Magos uses.
And it's like, oh, this is a no.
It also implies that because the other, the call inferior that like brains basically floating
in tubs or whatever.
Amniotic fluid.
Yeah.
It implies that they also think differently from, so they are Belisarius call, but yet
they've slightly diverged from him maybe because Belisarius call changes so much.
I do also find it funny.
Like he just, they all have like attitude.
They're all very sarcastic.
This is a sassy inferior.
We should probably slightly mention.
Belisarius call as much as he's like, oh, you think he's just like a little scurrying
scientist.
He has one kind of fatal flaw, which is his need for drama.
He's very much, he's like the Jersey Shore.
As this picture shows.
Because when he shows Gilliman the Primaris Marines the first time, he literally like
makes it into a spectacle and he's like, behold.
And he actually is like, basically he wants, he does that.
You know, who's it guys?
Jeb Bush.
Who remembers him.
He does that part where he's like, please clap.
But not being funny, if you worked on this for 10,000 years, I'd be like, yeah, I want
a ceremony.
You need, I want like, I want a plaque.
I want a golden plaque.
I want trumpets.
I want a band.
I want a mariachi band to come out.
I want a feast.
I want everything.
I've been, do you know how hard I've been working on this and how many other people's
minds I've had to subsume and how much I've sacrificed.
Yeah, I would want some fanfare.
I mean, this guy would prefer being a servitor rather than being furniture.
Do you know what I mean?
Crimson Glory is back at it with $50.
Thank you, Crimson Glory.
Thank you very much.
Can I get a Bok for the Omniscize Best Boy?
I still don't know what the Bok is.
Also, the Carcharadon's episode.
Good question.
That's a good question.
I have been doing bad at war stuff, so I wouldn't mind learning more about it.
Yeah, we could maybe mention them in Badaab or they're not cursed founding, are they?
No, I thought they were, but they're not.
Even older than cursed founding.
They're back from, like theoretically back from the first days.
They're supposedly actually a second founding chapter, but that's not confirmed, I'm pretty
sure.
Yeah, they're like a weird one.
But yeah, we can do it.
For you Crimson Anything, my brother.
Thank you, Crimson Glory.
Thank you.
Yeah, so he's basically, Gilliman's back on the board now.
Yep, he's back on the board.
Looks like Gilliman's back on the menu.
I see where's the Gilliman, because he's like, the last time I spoke to you, you looked a
lot more human.
And now you're like, you were like small.
Now you're a big beetle.
And why is that lady flying?
And who's this guy with the, who likes tangerines and what is going on?
Why are there like, weird pictures on the Temple of Hera?
And why is that child wearing a weird pendant with a skull on it?
What's going on?
That guy has two power fists.
What the hell?
Why did you turn that baby into a servitor and why is it flying around?
Why is the baby flying?
And why has it got a speaker in its throat that's making hymns, what's going on?
I hate it here.
Gilliman's been resurrected.
Hooray.
Everyone loves Gillibob.
He's great.
But with his resurrection, big shift in power in the galaxy, the most important thing that's
happened in the 41st millennium on the Imperium side, by a long margin.
I mean, cool is really cool, but he ain't no Primarch.
So it's like, okay, we've got a Primarch and he's alive and that's awesome.
And he doesn't look old like the lion.
So he's still kind of beautific.
That's nice.
We'll make nice posters.
Leave my beautiful Primarch hairline alone.
Leave Charles Dance alone.
So with Gilliman's resurrection, he begins the Terran Crusade because he's like, right,
Ultramar's bit.
We've defended it.
That's good.
I need to speak with dad.
So he goes, all right, belly boy, belly boy, gather the troops.
We're going to Terra.
We're going to have, I'm going to knock on dad's door and go like, hey, dad, sup, I'm
back.
Dab.
And so they start their Terran Crusade and they need to get all the way from Ultramar,
which is in the kind of south east of the galaxy all the way to the west where Holy
Terra is kind of a big problem.
Great rift, not great.
So with Yvrain, with Cypher of the Dark Angels, with the Ultramarines, with some Grey Knight
guys with call and his mechanicus guys, with Celestine with Grey Facts and all their band
of friends, they managed to travel to Terra.
However, slight problem, Red Corsairs and Fowl's and Sons are in the way and Primarch
Magnus the Red is also kind of stopping them from getting to Terra and they have a big
confrontation on the moon of Luna.
Long story short, they managed to repel the Fowl's and Sons.
They managed to escape the clutches of the Red Corsairs and with Belisarius' work of
not only protecting the armor of faith and installing it onto Gilamon, with Gilamon's
meeting with the Emperor, he's now been given the Emperor's sword because he's like, well,
you're the only one left, what's the worst that could happen?
You're going to lose my sword, come on, take the sword.
So he takes the sword, he's like, okay, my pledge to Gilamon is complete, but the most
important thing is I've got to show him my masterpiece.
So he goes, okay, Gilamon, you've had your chat with Dad.
This is kind of a big deal.
This is like my life's work.
I worked on this for like 10,000 years.
You know all those losses you incurred during the battle on Ultramar?
You know how the Tyranids kind of messed up Kalgar's boys?
You know how Kavya just blew up?
Big sad.
But-
He wants to show him his life work, but he doesn't want to appear too needy.
So like, you can see my life work if you want.
If you want, yeah.
Whatever, it's all cool, it's fine.
Just want to show you like these hundreds of thousands of soldiers I've been working
on.
Yeah.
So, not kind of a big deal, kind of a big deal, but like, you know, like, you know,
like, starties.
You're a primaris.
You're like, oh, starties.
You know, starties are kind of cool, but like, these ones are bigger.
Look at that.
It's like, good head, taller.
Oh, look at that.
Look at his armor.
I made that.
See that?
I made that gun.
That's mine.
So he basically goes, hey, primaris, pretty cool, right?
I know you're kind of a big proponent of your book you wrote, your book tour with the Codex
of Starties.
I get that.
So I've made like every conceivable chapter we know of on record.
I've made primaris of them.
I even painted the armor just like they're supposed to be.
Like, he's done like the whole like model building thing in real life.
He's been like the ultimate hobbyist.
He's like, I did all the symbols and the heraldry properly.
And here's some Deathwing guys and here's some Blood Angels guys.
Here's some weird obscure character that no one talks about in the lore and doesn't have
any artwork, but I've even done them.
And so, Gilliman's like, that's very impressive, but I've kind of got stuff to do.
So he takes all the primaris and he starts to deploy them in what he calls the Indomitus
Crusade, which is kind of a big deal, where he tests, he puts all of the Starties, I believe
at the beginning, in light bands of, is it gray shields?
Where he goes, we'll take an ultramarine and a space wolf and a Blood Angel and an imperial
fist and we'll put them all together in a band of like misfits and we'll let them test
their deficiencies and their strengths and get the hang of stuff.
So basically operate like a legion at the time.
Yeah.
They deploy them in like an entire, like double chapter strength even, like 2000 maroons,
which is pretty cool.
Yeah.
And he goes, right, we've got to go, we've got to go, like, daddy's back.
We've got to go reclaim the galaxy.
And I got milk.
So he's back.
That was a hell of a phrase.
Daddy's back.
We're going to reclaim the galaxy.
I've got milk.
Big blue daddy is back.
Let's go kick chaos's ass.
So then they go out and they've got all these primaris of all these different chapels.
Like, we're going to send some to the chapters.
We know where they are.
So we'll send some to this chapter or that chapter, blah, blah, blah.
We'll bring a bunch with me on route because we're going to go, we're going to go see those,
see those crazy, crazy sons of sanguineous who like drinking blood and being a bit cheeky.
We go see them.
They start to ascend their most stalwart veterans like Manius Kauka.
He goes, he's a bit old.
He smells of cabbage.
Let's make him into a primaris.
That would put some spring in his step, so they do call overseas.
All of this.
He's now outfitted them with, you know, these, these call pattern bolt guns.
There's new dreadnoughts.
There's new marks of armor and also variants of the Mark 10 armor.
I have a question.
Do you think this might be even for Colin here?
Do you think they even bothered making primaris Genesis chapter or did they just get sent
them straight into the old jewelry?
Probably not at first.
So you'll probably every time like, you know, Gilman needed a spare ultramarine and they
grabbed one, they probably replaced them with a primaris and that's how it filtered down
to the Genesis.
I like the idea that he actually made like 5,000 Genesis space Marines and just kept
them in a fridge.
Like they're there when we need them.
Like for now we'll just put them on ice.
Imagine if you were like, you're like I'm primaris and then I'm just like part of the
indulgence crusade.
Then I get attached to the Genesis chapter and then I get to leave that and then I get
to the ultramarines.
Or, or even just imagine you're like, oh, I'm like, I'm an obscure but a cool chapter.
Who are we deploying with?
All the Genesis chapter guys.
We're on like patrol duty then.
Yep.
Pretty much.
It's a shame.
I like to, I like to think those primaris weren't even painted in like Genesis colors.
They just had like a big sticker over the chapter emblems and the Genesis logo.
And then when it was, you know, time for the inevitable, they just ripped the sticker off.
All right, ultramarine.
Well they were like this, like on the sprues, just like gray.
We're not even going to paint colors on yet.
Just hold off for a minute because you're probably going to be an ultramarine in like
10 days.
But yeah, so they, they, they, they venture forth, they, they aid in the devastation of
Baal relief effort and they prevent several chapters of the blood angels from becoming
extinct.
They reinforce them and other chapters with, cause it's kind of a good idea to be like,
we're going to go to Baal because all of them have kind of coagulated to defend the home
world.
So you've got like 10 different chapters all in one place.
That's a good place to start.
Here's your primaris.
Dante, you're in charge of this half the galaxy.
I'll take the other half.
Okay.
Break.
And then they go.
So that's, that's that.
They're at the devastation of Baal.
There's now primaris.
Gabriel Seffers just going, I hate these guys.
But he's got them anyway.
With this new shift in power, Mars are getting even more annoyed at call because now he's
the golden boy again.
He's also, the thing is like call wants to be in charge of the mechanicus.
And he keeps saying to Ravute like make me a high Lord of terror.
Make me the, like the, the, the biggest, the arch archmagus, maybe the biggest, most important
guy and get him to like, I'm not allowed a treaty of Mars.
Sorry.
Primaris not allowed to give you that much power.
And if I do that, there'll be another civil war in the mechanicus and Baris.
I was like, no, I'll be fine.
Come on.
Make me, make me in charge.
I know I can't make, sorry.
So, so Gelamin doesn't like trust Belisarius at all.
He's indebted to him.
He knows he needs him, but he's like, I don't trust this beetle guy.
Cause
It doesn't know what his end goals are.
Yeah.
He's like, I know you work for the emperor, but I don't trust you.
Which is a bit sad.
Like he's done more than you have in the last 10,000 years.
Give him a break.
Cause there's a part of Belisarius, which is the thing in like a common thing amongst
mone like scientists and science fiction thing, which is like whether something should be
done.
Yeah.
And you know, it can be done and Belisarius is very much, we'll explain a bit later, but
he's very much guilty of the latter in some things.
We got a $5 donation by the way, from non-dormian.
He said, when will big daddy GW finally give us androgynous femboy thousand suns models?
Oh my gosh.
We wait to see.
They kind of are androgynous.
They're all dust.
Yeah.
They don't have, they're in urns.
They don't really have a, what's your pronoun?
Dust or gone or
I am residue.
But yeah.
So call was a bit annoyed that he's not allowed to be in charge of the mechanics, even though
he really deserves it.
So while he's kind of moping, he's like, I've done all this stuff.
I gave him the arm of fate.
I protected the sword.
I made the big space Marines.
I've done everything.
I've done it.
I've cleaned my plate.
Oh shit.
Okay.
Now what?
I'm going to give you a chance that crimson glory again, basically sons of the Phoenix
super subtle call.
Also my fiance agreed to sign off on this super chat to help Colin get his IRL Morafi.
Good luck and God speed.
Thank you.
So calls kind of done all of his jobs.
So he's now like, okay, the most important thing to do.
We need to contain this bloody sick of tricks, maledictim that's causing all these problems.
We need to stop this because if it keeps growing, we are stuffed.
It doesn't matter how many guns I make.
Can't stop chaos if it's everywhere.
So he ventures to a world called it's not so for it.
Yeah, it's so far.
He found he ventures to sofa.
Yes.
So we're upon sofa and but way back in the way way back in the day, the Imperium discovered
this thing through the efforts of Barabas, Dantioch and Alexis Pollux.
They found this ancient Necron device called the sofa device and they used it to transport
transport materials to teleport across the galaxy because back in the day, there was
the there was there was a bit of thing called Calphe and there was this thing called the
ruin storm and it was really bad and it kind of did what the sick tricks maledictim did
where it split the galaxy into and it was a massive pain in the ass.
Under that conflict, they blew it up.
Barabas, Dantioch did kind of brought the Tyranids into the galaxy, but we'll glaze
over that for now.
But the problem was it blew up and then it was like, oh, it's just a useless hunk of
junk can't do anything with it.
For some reason, with the birth of the great rift, it's active again.
And so cause that's weird.
It's an old Necron device.
I should have a look into this.
They've got to be connected.
So with the help of the chapter known as the Scythes of the Emperor, who have been tasked
with defending and guarding the planet and its long dormant artifact, Kull kind of figures
out that the reason that the SOFA device can do what it's doing is it's powered by a Katarn
shard.
And if you don't know what a Katarn shard is, it's like imagine a primordial god that the
Necrons blew up before humanity even existed and they made it into shards and that's kind
of the power supply.
Big problem.
So Kull, he communicates with Zahulash the Potentate, who is the shard in question who's
been powering the device or lack of powering the device for the last 10,000 years.
And Katarn are kind of sneaky.
So he says to Kull, I'll do you a deal.
I reckon if you want to contain this thing from blowing up and causing more problems,
I can help you.
All I ask, you've got to set me free because I'm kind of tethered to this device.
I can't go anywhere.
It's getting worried.
I've been putting things else in the fridge for years.
I need to send a letter to my wife.
You know, let's just make a deal.
You and me.
It's a snatch where the guy says, listen, when pigs are hungry enough, they can devour
it through bone.
Exactly.
The trick is to starve the pigs for two weeks and then put down plastic wrap everywhere.
So yeah, obviously a trap, but Kull's no bitch.
So he's like, fine, I can do that.
So Zahe Lash obviously betrays Kull and he's like, right, stupid bug man.
I'm going to kill you.
But Belisarius is well smart.
So he teleports the fragment of Zahe Lash into the heart using the server device, into
the heart of a bunch of tomb worlds that are occupied by the Necrons and are awake.
So he's basically like, oh, you know those guys who change you up in the first place
and you betrayed.
I'm just going to send you in the middle of a bunch of them and they're going to see you
and be like, oh hell no.
And it's like, go and get you.
And Zahe Lash does that whole like, I will get you one day Belisarius.
It's like an oil rich country, telephoning America in the 90s.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
It's like the Bay of Pigs just in that sector of space.
It's a very nice democratically elected communist thing.
It would be a shame if the CIA heard about it.
It would be a shame if someone wanted to put Russian nukes upon that.
So Zahe Lash gets CIA'd across the galaxy.
But luckily enough, with the end of that, Belisarius manages before he leaves to retrieve
some important information.
We just got another $2 donation from Crimson Glory saying the definition of friendship
is magic.
Thank you for putting our children through university Crimson Glory.
Thank you very much.
And yeah, and the last thing I have pretty much is...
Oh, one last rant.
I can't believe the size of the Emperor were infected by gene stealers.
Ugh.
Yeah.
My boys, as much as Eli probably enjoys that.
It's epic.
It's so cool.
Disgusting.
It was a big threat in one of the Caiaphas Kane books.
We're like, there's gene stealers on that space hole.
We cannot risk them getting infected.
Get in there Kane.
Were they Primaris or Firstborn when they got infected?
The size of the Emperor, I already have a couple of Marines left.
Because on the cover it's the Primaris side.
They end up, the original Firstborn ones, the last of them end up dying in the book.
And then the Primaris Marines basically kind of re-birth the entire chapter, even though
obviously the very last of the Firstborn ones are there.
Primaris wouldn't stop that though.
I mean, there's nothing specifically in them.
It's like anti-gene stealer organ.
I was just wondering what the timeline was.
Was it the Firstborn were infected and then they dodged it because then Primaris turned
up and went, ugh.
I think the last of the size of the Emperor, but the first one, they all put psychic hoods
on to stop the hive mind effect in their brain.
So it kind of worked.
They're okay.
They're just basically like, you know, I'm just...
They've just got weird foreheads now.
Yeah, basically they're like, no, that forehead looking a little bit, but it's sus, my dude.
But yeah, ridge four heads aside.
Basically Cole goes, I'm going to take the data I can find here.
And he manages to realize, hold on, this, this, this Faros device, it doesn't look like
it's the only one there is.
It looks like there might be a few others scattered across the galaxy.
Huh.
And so now Cole goes, okay, I'm going to spend the next few years of my time.
Now I have nothing else to do trying to locate these other devices because if we can harness
their power, maybe like the pylons on, uh, Kadia, we can slowly start to shrink the eye
of terror, which is now the secret tricks, maledictim and hopefully save off chaos.
Um, I have not read the new Belisarius call and, uh, uh, Fabius file.
Means no spoilers.
Good stuff.
Well saying that I have a little bit, uh, I won't go, well, I say no spoilers.
It's the law, all law spoilers.
Um, but, uh, if Eli wants to mute me for the moment, um, I just, I do know a little bit
about the current pariah nexus events that's come out recently as of time of recording,
which is where Belisarius call essentially is creating a conclave of other sex of the
mechanicum because he wants to forge an Alliance.
And this is all for the purposes of collecting Blackstone, which is the sort of things with
the pylons are made from.
And again, like it's pretty divided.
Some people were like, Oh, but as far as call that, you know, that dude's amazing.
And other guys are like, that guy looks like he bangs his head on the door every time he
walks in a room on purpose.
Cause he's an attention seeker or something stupid.
Like he's pretty, he's a controversial figure, but he wants to get all these forces of the
mechanicum on board.
I, I assume actually it's probably cause he wants to build pylons.
Um, also this is going to get him in trouble with the necrons most likely.
Um, but it's like problem with this conclave of great minds is that there's another great
mind who's interested in some of the work happening here.
And this is Mr. Fabius Bile himself, the clone Lord and just picturing him with Skeletor's
voice.
I'm not going to be away for this meeting.
The two gene fathers are here and the plot mostly evolves around how Fabius Bile essentially
is attacking a bird's eye, his core ship and particularly the enclave as well.
And we all think like Fabius Biles is like, basically, you know, I'm Beth and you, whatever
you're you've made, you know, Primaris.
Eh, I've seen a couple of them.
It's all right, mate.
I'm not impressed.
I'm not impressed, boy.
Um, and essentially this leads to a confrontation where you find out Fabius Bile doesn't really
want to anything with the black stone.
He doesn't actually care about that.
What his real objective was, was a certain figure who stands by the side of Belisarius
Kull named Alpha Primus.
Now for people who, Alpha Primus is a sort of space marine who appears as like a sort
of Kull's bodyguard in a way.
It's also in the previous book.
But there's something special about Alpha Primus, which is sort of, it links to Belisarius
Kull's vision with the Emperor, where the Emperor originally said to him, you're going
to one day feel like you betrayed me and you need to keep going on.
And we possibly believe this is it, where Fabius Bile manages to capture this Alpha
Primus and Alpha Primus is special because in his gene seed, it contains like Alpha Primus
is special.
He's not like a normal space marine.
He's stronger, he's faster, he's more intelligent.
Um, but he's not quite a Primarch.
Is he kind of like Leto?
Kind of like that.
And he's made, well, Leto is a space marine made without, he's a prototype space marine
in the Horus Heresy on Terra.
And he's made without any of the genetics of the actual Primarchs.
He's made from the Emperor, I think, as a, so he's a unique one.
Whereas Alpha Primus is made up with the genetics of all the Primarchs.
And that's the Heresy.
Even the naughty ones, the two we don't know about.
That's the Heresy essentially that, um, that as far as call has somewhat committed is in
a way like he's used traitor gene seed to make this special thing.
Um, but it's also somewhat of a thing that leads into his flaws because he's created
Alpha Primus and it's almost again, I think I'm like, he didn't have to do it, but he
did it because he wanted to see if it could be done.
And now essentially Fabius Bile takes his gene seed out of Alpha Primus while he's alive.
Um, Alpha Primus still lives, but he basically takes his black carapace out, which is obviously
very special.
And the far as Bile like sort of goes, sorry, I lied to you, Belisarius.
You actually are a genius.
You did make something amazing here.
Um, but I just had to lure you in.
Also yoink like you dick.
Yeah.
So Fabius, I do think this is also, this book is entirely.
Made for two reasons, which is a set up.
Belisarius calls, um, pylon, um, sort of shenanigans, but also for the fact of Empress children
might get Primaris traitor, uh, Marines or, you know, maybe plenty of that, but essentially
Fabius Bile now walks off with a gene seed that is beyond priceless, which Belisarius
call has created.
I think probably Alpha Primus may have been used to sort of, as in like, he's like the
pure, like great, you know, the actual genius work.
And then the Primaris, like the bulk version of the derivatives.
Yeah.
Like store brand, um, store, store brand Alpha Primus is the Primaris and, uh, obviously
his name being Alpha and Prima Primus is pretty obvious.
Um, but that's essentially where we, but as far as call it again, it's not really the
end of the world necessarily, but it's very much like, Oh crap.
You know, Fabius Bile, the rogue man, the city goof that he is, he's walked off with
that gene seed, but now that as far as call has managed to get the mechanicum larger contingent
of the mechanicum to side with him.
And now they're essentially battling on Necron worlds and trying to harvest black stone for
stuff.
Yeah.
Cause that's a, that's a fun resource to have black stone.
It's just, you can make fortresses out of it.
You can make pylons out of it.
You can make all sorts of weird stuff.
Yeah.
Um, but that's kind of where Bellasaurus calls stories at the moment.
He also hasn't seen Gilliman in a while apparently.
And then he's like, he's very thinking, I think he, it says in this book as well, he
feels like Gilliman might kill him if he found out about Alpha Primus.
So he's very much like a, I'm just not deal with that.
And I'm going to put that in my mind for a later date.
Cause yeah, they, they, they certainly are like pushing the, uh, the prior Nexus stuff
recently, but they have that show on Warhammer TV and with Sarek and all that, like it's
all going on in the prior Nexus.
We better get Necron Parias back for that for a long time.
I did my video on Thomas, um, McAvee and everyone was like, Oh, I remember this goofy little
guy.
Oh yeah, it's fun.
Yeah.
I think that's most, that's pretty much the up to date part though, isn't it?
I was like, I think so.
I said, well, Alpha Primus gets a model.
Bro, please.
Yeah.
I think it's GW stuff is the only way any character usually gets a model is if it moves
the plot forward in a way.
What's that guy from the white consoles?
He's got a cool model.
And he's like, who's this guy?
Oh, he's got a cool model.
He's in the Dawn of Fire novel series, which they have now canceled because no one liked
it.
Oh, haven't they done like seven books or something?
They were trying to create like a horrors heresy 40 K continuous plot thing going along.
But then a lot of people kind of went, that's a cool idea.
Shame.
The books are very hit or miss.
I have no idea, but people can, there's a book in that series called Wolf Time.
And the people who have read that are violently opposed to that book because apparently there's
like the space wars are, there's no Wolf Time in it for people.
There's like Wolf Time, like the end days for the space wars.
There's no Wolf Time in it.
It just like, there's a one point where someone says like, it's like in a film where someone
says the name of the film.
Be a shame if there was a Wolf Time and then it's credits.
Are you cheeky sods?
Did you guys say thanks to Mr. Crimson Glory for the $5?
Thank you Mr. Crimson Glory again.
He says, loyal versus aphelesian trader.
We did the same thing.
Eldritch is the old great one for $5, thank you.
Carl walking away with his mechanic sack plump full of all that gene seed for the Imperium
of course.
For the Imperium, of course, of course.
I didn't need to hear that.
For science reasons.
Yeah.
Well, but I was a, say how there's, there's been characters who really haven't done much
for the plot that still get models like in fantasy and 40k.
Realistically, like what has Creed done for the plot?
Yeah.
In lore he was in charge of Katie for a year and then it blew up.
He just, he just goes, yeah.
And then there's like, you know, there was like Grom too.
What did he do?
He's fat.
Should we return to the four squares?
Just for that.
Yeah.
Oh, there's also, it reminds me of who, as someone who's liked Iron Hands and then the
tabletop Iron Hands characters called Iron Father Fereus, who is by the way, barely in
anything.
Yeah.
And he's for some reason he's like, oh.
These tiny bit of lore is pretty cool.
I mean, yes.
It's new stuff.
They are desperate for it.
I mean, as much as it's a bad way to say it, the Iron Hands are gagging from all the lore.
We just need.
I think the thing is as well, it's like you were saying about the Dawn of Fire stuff.
I think they just need to like refresh some factions which need stuff like the Iron Hands,
maybe the White Scars, the Salamanders.
It's like, get some of that moving first before you start to do a big grand opera start like,
oh, we're going to have it all.
Because when I look at the Dawn of Fire, I was like, oh, there's a Gasmardian guard there.
There's a.
Oh, there's all these things in this book, obviously.
But you're like, hang on.
What about, well, that important thing.
It made me actually think about which Primarch is most likely returning next.
And I figured I think it might be Leman Russ simply for the fact of the lion came back.
Or first of all, that intertwines greatly.
And secondly, it's to do with the model release.
Remember, this is a lore about a board game or a title game.
And the Dark Angel is already being a divergent chapter and getting a full release early 2024
as of time of recording.
I assume Space Wolf at some point will get something similar.
So therefore, that's probably why Leman Russ will come back before any of the other ones.
Yeah.
Poor Jagged Tiger.
He'll come back and it wouldn't change a thing and I'd be fine with that.
You know, I mean, he's there.
I just want like an adventure with Volkan, Hestan and Trazin.
Like I was like, I want this.
I want this.
All right, we'll work together and then we'll split the difference.
Like, have a fun little overlapping story.
Trying to take a spear.
Yeah.
I'm going to get a single crumb of Emperor's Children lore, please.
I think I'd long as getting one.
Yeah, I'd want and Julius, I think.
There's a second Julius case Ron.
Don't worry about it, babe.
I won't.
There's another Emperor's Children renegade book coming out as well.
So I get two books.
I don't think it's Julius.
I think it's like another it's like a new character.
I didn't think it was either, but my friend told me it was like for sure him.
Maybe it's wrong though.
I don't know.
But I think it is because Julius is still alive, which I totally forgot about.
He forgetting Julius.
Because it's not like.
Yeah, like who the fuck is.
Yeah, he's the first captain.
He's like, oh, I'm not like I'm not like an important first.
He's not a POV character in any.
He's just there.
Oh, all right, Julius.
How's it going?
Yeah.
I'm gonna go get Julius, but thank you for your input.
Yeah, I remember listening to the Lucius the Eternal book, I read it and it's just a weird
point in that like he gets captured and he looks Downey like, oh, my legs are no longer
human legs anymore.
They're like I have hooves over thinking.
Why does Lucy's eternal have hooves?
I read the book a long time ago.
It's not very much in glory.
I can't even begin to describe.
the five. Thank you. I can't even begin to describe how badly I need a lore crime stream
of all of you playing lethal coming together.
That'd be fun. We need to do some more gaming streams in general.
We might do one in the beginning of the new year to be fair. I would probably say this
is like as of time now it's just before I think this is our last one before Christmas.
It's our last one because next week we're taking a week off because it's going to be
Christmas time. We actually have we have a life unfortunately outside of this.
We're going to be shocked and we're cooking up something special for the end of the year
which won't be live but it'll be fun. So yeah.
And we should probably take some of the things we want to do. I'll say some topics we're
probably going to cover will be similar to a lot of the releases happening next year.
So there's oh yeah we are doing Necrons.
It's happened Necrons has been my epic rap battle.
Yeah jumping at the bit for months. We need to do Necron laws. I'm like I hear you. I
hear this.
We have Necron Lords. There'll probably be some Dark Angels as of release schedule stuff.
Maybe some orcs custodies have.
We've got to get back to the greats as well.
We have been done like zero Tao things.
We'll probably want to do a bit more Godric and Felix and then some more fantasy. I'm
desperate to do vampire counts.
That'd be very nice.
I think our next thing though is a tierless stream I do believe which will be after Christmas
and we will obviously let you guys hear some ridiculously I'd say based but it wouldn't
be based it would be horrific takes on 40k content though.
I think though anyone else want to add anything more about Mr. Burzaro's call I think we covered
him pretty decently there.
I think he's cool.
Table top stuff.
Yeah if you got a table top stuff I do have the someone actually pay for the 40k app because
I definitely do myself.
I kept the free one and just changed my lists.
I use the community sheets and Wahapedia whenever it updates and that is slow sometimes but
I show put the screen up again then the the belly.
That's fine you can keep it like this.
I got the I got it up. He's you know I'll admit not mechanicist guy.
They're very cool but just not my thing.
He's an interesting fella.
Reasonably tanky two up save four up in bone save ten wounds so you know he can take a
hit.
Little slow six inches of movement you know we're not Necrons or you know Death Guard
here but he's not he's not speeding around.
He does have a couple different canticles so he can buff units pretty decently.
He's like he's a he can reroll battle shock tests reroll hits rolls one give units near
him stealth which is.
That's unfair.
Pretty damn pretty damn good.
He selects one of them per battle round.
He can make it so that he can you have to be within 12 inches of him to shoot him if
he's close to a unit.
He regenerates also good.
His weapons I'm not gonna lie I think they're a little bit mid.
The solar atomizer is D3 attacks which I don't like that kind of randomness.
Yeah.
Which you know it was a problem for the Wraith Guard.
It's a problem here.
It's pretty hard you know hits up on hit two ups AP minus four strength 14 D3 gonna hurt.
Yeah.
That's not that's pretty damn good in terms of.
Oh no it's good.
It's just for.
Yeah.
What's up?
How many what's the damage of it?
Three.
So it's pretty good.
Yeah average you only hit with one probably maybe two.
Yeah and you might only get one and then you have to try with.
Damn.
The point they have them at the moment do they?
Mechanicus so annoying.
His melee attacks also you know solid.
Arc scourge is his anti-vehicle plus four so you know his axle.
No that's not his axe.
That's something completely different.
Harden.
Arc scourge is like his it's like flail isn't it?
It's like a flail thing.
Yeah.
It's right above his axe on the data sheet so that's what it was reading.
His axe is solid good for infantry.
His mechadendrite hive is 2 D6 attacks which.
That makes me want to cry because I feel like I'd roll double ones every time.
It's like wow I could have got 12 attacks I got two.
The attacks are also kind of shit if you're not fighting like guardsmen or hormigants.
But you know there's a role for taking out Jeff.
I'd say he's all right.
Eli I don't know if you know a bit more about Call of the Me.
I think he's good especially because he's only 185 points and he gives a decent bit
to the army for that.
I heard he was one of their better things and that Admech still has unfortunate rules
as they have had for the last like three years it seems.
Yeah it's if you're playing Admech you're a very brave soul.
I'm very sorry for what GW is doing to you.
Yeah and I hope you have a very nice carry case with lots of foam.
The worst thing about Call is painting assembling him.
Good luck.
Oh I have a better size core model but I don't play Admech but he has definitely been turned
into a demon prince with wings for me.
So he's got a because I play Thousand Sun he's got like a zangor head on him which is
very heretical and then he's got all his different things and I've given him what's the faction
in Age of Sigmar which like the tree men now they're called Sylvaneth.
So they have I have one of the tree kin things from that and I gave it they're like the sort
of dirthu looking swords and I've given the Bersara's core model that and I've given it
wings from another wood elf sort of thing and I've painted him up to be.
Very nice.
Oh I mean I'm very happy with that.
He's made a great demon prince substitute if anyone here is like thinking.
I would bet.
We have a donation from Bert Bividemir or I don't want to say it's okay.
You know who you are.
Thank you Bert.
Playing Rogue Trader now anybody not choosing the introduce me Abelard options 100% of the
time is playing the game wrong.
I have not gotten the game yet but I would really like to.
Had a chance but might do this Christmas break.
A few of our youtuber buddies have had sponsorships haven't they?
Oh yeah.
I don't care for CRPG.
So it's like Baldur's Gate and I know everyone loves it.
It's a great game and I admit it's a good game.
I don't like CRPG's.
So it's like it's like it's the best pie in the world.
If you don't like pie you're not going to like it.
What do you mean are you sure Spider-Man 2 is not the best game of the year?
No I don't think it.
The amount of people who are upset about that is ridiculous.
I'll double down on that PlayStation games or movies.
Yeah true.
Yeah it is a silly project though.
Having said that I think that will be the end of this episode.
I think next time will be Necron Lords and then we have some more versus coming.
If you made it this far as well don't forget the question of the week we had earlier was
like Chrome me up.
So obviously whatever what you know what Mechanicus modification thing would you get you know make
it weird.
Make it weird.
That being said though thank you everyone for listening.
Thank you for the donations too.
I really appreciate that.
Merry Christmas everyone.
I hope you have a lovely break and we'll catch you guys all next time.
