WEBVTT 00:00:03.039 --> 00:00:06.000 This broadcast is monitored for devotional consistency. 00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:10.279 Deviation will be harmonized. Please remain where 00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:22.600 you are. Good evening, citizens of Hive Gloriana. 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.440 This is your sanctioned voice in the static. 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:29.359 Your comfort in the re -psych wind. I am your 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.289 humble host, Servitor 241. Outside, the ash still 00:00:34.289 --> 00:00:38.329 falls, gentle as prayer. Inside, we continue 00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:45.530 our duty. Inside, we endure. We begin today with 00:00:45.530 --> 00:00:48.229 a reminder from the Departmento Vox Communicatus. 00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:51.530 If your local servitor begins reciting scripture 00:00:51.530 --> 00:00:55.770 backwards, do not panic. This is a sign of internal 00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:59.469 maintenance, not possession. Unless, of course, 00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:02.450 it's floating. If it's floating, Please panic 00:01:02.450 --> 00:01:07.930 quietly. Civic announcements. The Departamento 00:01:07.930 --> 00:01:10.730 Sanitas has confirmed that the discoloured residue 00:01:10.730 --> 00:01:14.250 collecting on HAB ceilings is not mould, but 00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:16.950 a harmless by -product of atmospheric purification. 00:01:17.629 --> 00:01:21.069 Please do not scrape it, consume it, or anoint 00:01:21.069 --> 00:01:23.689 yourself with it, no matter how pleasant the 00:01:23.689 --> 00:01:27.269 scent. The Administratum requests patience as 00:01:27.269 --> 00:01:30.700 the lift networks remain inoperative. Blessed 00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:33.120 are the strong of leg, for they shall ascend 00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.980 to the higher levels unaided. In happier news, 00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:40.260 the water rations have been increased by 30 millilitres 00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:44.340 per household. Please drink reverently. The Emperor 00:01:44.340 --> 00:01:49.359 provides in his own small ways. Today's morale 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.420 levels are holding steady at cautiously obedient. 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.140 Please avoid emotional extremes. Joy and despair 00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:01.400 both reduce output. A serene mediocrity pleases 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:07.799 the Emperor best. Industrial Report The Manufactoria 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.300 reports minor interruptions in power distribution 00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:13.900 after yesterday's devotional fire. All surviving 00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:16.520 faithful of the affected regions are encouraged 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.500 to conserve energy by sharing illumination candles 00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:22.340 and huddling together until the doors can be 00:02:22.340 --> 00:02:27.770 forced open. Community Events The Ecclesiarchal 00:02:27.770 --> 00:02:30.110 Choir will be holding open auditions in the Lower 00:02:30.110 --> 00:02:33.210 Chapel this evening. Citizens blessed with clear 00:02:33.210 --> 00:02:36.550 voices, or any voices at all, are encouraged 00:02:36.550 --> 00:02:40.009 to attend. The choir has doubled in size since 00:02:40.009 --> 00:02:43.229 last week, a sign, perhaps, that faith still 00:02:43.229 --> 00:02:47.689 grows, even in these difficult times. Listeners 00:02:47.689 --> 00:02:50.710 have described their new hymns as beautiful but 00:02:50.710 --> 00:02:53.770 strange. The notes don't always end where they 00:02:53.770 --> 00:02:57.740 begin. It is said they practice in complete darkness, 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.439 guided only by feeling. Three Inquisitor miners 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.039 were sent to investigate possible heresy. They 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:17.060 have yet to return. Public Confessions The communion 00:03:17.060 --> 00:03:21.060 wine made me sick. It burned all the way down, 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.759 but the priest said that meant it was working. 00:03:24.590 --> 00:03:27.909 Now my breath smells like incense and I cough 00:03:27.909 --> 00:03:32.750 blood when I pray. Should I be worried or grateful? 00:03:35.770 --> 00:03:39.789 Forgive me, servitor father. The choir told me 00:03:39.789 --> 00:03:43.789 I could join, but I don't know the words. They 00:03:43.789 --> 00:03:46.490 said I'll learn when the song reaches my blood. 00:03:58.250 --> 00:04:01.370 All confessions have been received and archived. 00:04:01.830 --> 00:04:05.250 Remember, citizens, the Emperor hears every voice, 00:04:05.370 --> 00:04:09.409 even the ones that don't sound like yours. If 00:04:09.409 --> 00:04:11.789 you have contributed to this week's devotional 00:04:11.789 --> 00:04:14.469 fire, please report to the Civic Renewal Office 00:04:14.469 --> 00:04:17.750 for complimentary ointment, a short sermon on 00:04:17.750 --> 00:04:25.730 flammability, and then minor execution. Maintenance 00:04:25.730 --> 00:04:28.980 Bulletin The Mechanicus has requested volunteers 00:04:28.980 --> 00:04:33.060 for reactor recalibration. Those chosen will 00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:35.860 receive an additional ration token and a complimentary 00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:39.259 blessing of thermal endurance. Please ignore 00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:43.420 any rumors that the reactor whispers. The Animus 00:04:43.420 --> 00:04:46.139 machine's voice is not meant for the uninitiated 00:04:46.139 --> 00:04:50.759 and certainly not for the superstitious. Lastly 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:53.850 in maintenance bulletin. The Animus machine in 00:04:53.850 --> 00:04:56.610 Scriptorium 6A will be performing its monthly 00:04:56.610 --> 00:05:00.610 purge cycle at dusk. Please refrain from prayer 00:05:00.610 --> 00:05:04.069 during the event. The Animus is easily distracted, 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:07.769 and last month's malfunction resulted in 17 spontaneous 00:05:07.769 --> 00:05:14.329 conversions, none of them theological. Lost and 00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:19.490 found. Found. A small, perfectly smooth stone, 00:05:19.790 --> 00:05:23.660 faintly pulsing with warmth. Found near Ventilation 00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:27.459 Hub 13. Those who touched it report hearing faint 00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:31.879 music and the feeling of being seen. If you recognise 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.019 this item, please contact the Office of Objects 00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:40.620 that should not exist. Lost. Technician Moran 00:05:40.620 --> 00:05:43.980 Vale. Last seen descending into the sub -levels 00:05:43.980 --> 00:05:48.220 to trace the sound. If found, please remind him 00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:51.279 that curiosity without sanction is heresy. and 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:57.339 then escort him to confession. Faith Report Faith 00:05:57.339 --> 00:06:00.819 remains high. Attendance at Mass has increased 00:06:00.819 --> 00:06:03.759 by nearly 20%, though some attendees reportedly 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.399 chant in languages unrecorded in the archives. 00:06:07.259 --> 00:06:10.199 The Ecclesiarch assures us that these new tongues 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.899 are simply the Emperor speaking through fresh 00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:15.879 throats, and who are we to doubt his creativity? 00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.699 The morning bells in Sector Epsilon rang continuously 00:06:20.699 --> 00:06:24.339 for six hours before melting. Scholars describe 00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:28.560 this as an excess of zeal. The faithful describe 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:33.079 it as beautiful. The mechanicum describe it as 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:40.319 wasteful. All are correct. Devotional Reading 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:47.480 The Liturgy of Hunger Verse 3 We fast to remind 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.519 ourselves that he hungers too. We eat to remind 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:56.019 him that we are still here. Balance is holy. 00:06:57.180 --> 00:07:01.439 What beautiful words. Soothing. Please ensure 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.839 your ration card is stamped before enlightenment. 00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:10.639 Weather report. A dense mist is rising from the 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.920 lower levels tonight, carrying with it the scent 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:17.449 of ozone and warm iron. Ash fall will continue 00:07:17.449 --> 00:07:19.970 across the mid -habs, mingling with occasional 00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:23.310 sparks of bioluminescence. A natural phenomenon, 00:07:23.550 --> 00:07:26.509 the ministry assures us. If you see the light 00:07:26.509 --> 00:07:30.629 move, do not follow. If the light sings, you 00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:34.649 may listen briefly, but not for too long. Weather 00:07:34.649 --> 00:07:41.959 remains steady. Everything remains steady. And 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.139 that concludes tonight's broadcast, citizens 00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:48.339 of Hive Gloriana. I am your humble host servitor, 00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:52.639 241. Sleep peacefully beneath the Emperor's gaze. 00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:56.519 Dream gently. And if you wake at a distant singing, 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:02.579 remember, the choir welcomes all voices. Together, 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:07.180 we are stronger. Together, we are safer. Together, 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.019 we are statistically indistinguishable in nutrient 00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:14.670 fats. Until next cycle, this is Vox Sanctum signing 00:08:14.670 --> 00:08:20.129 off. Stay faithful. Stay diligent. Stay tuned. 00:08:20.970 --> 00:08:40.529 Ave Imperator. Vox Sanctum Gloriana is an Evil 00:08:40.529 --> 00:08:41.330 Lighthouse production.
