This broadcast is monitored for devotional consistency.
Deviation will be harmonized. Please remain where
you are. Good evening, citizens of Hive Gloriana.
This is your sanctioned voice in the static.
Your comfort in the re -psych wind. I am your
humble host, Servitor 241. Outside, the ash still
falls, gentle as prayer. Inside, we continue
our duty. Inside, we endure. We begin today with
a reminder from the Departmento Vox Communicatus.
If your local servitor begins reciting scripture
backwards, do not panic. This is a sign of internal
maintenance, not possession. Unless, of course,
it's floating. If it's floating, Please panic
quietly. Civic announcements. The Departamento
Sanitas has confirmed that the discoloured residue
collecting on HAB ceilings is not mould, but
a harmless by -product of atmospheric purification.
Please do not scrape it, consume it, or anoint
yourself with it, no matter how pleasant the
scent. The Administratum requests patience as
the lift networks remain inoperative. Blessed
are the strong of leg, for they shall ascend
to the higher levels unaided. In happier news,
the water rations have been increased by 30 millilitres
per household. Please drink reverently. The Emperor
provides in his own small ways. Today's morale
levels are holding steady at cautiously obedient.
Please avoid emotional extremes. Joy and despair
both reduce output. A serene mediocrity pleases
the Emperor best. Industrial Report The Manufactoria
reports minor interruptions in power distribution
after yesterday's devotional fire. All surviving
faithful of the affected regions are encouraged
to conserve energy by sharing illumination candles
and huddling together until the doors can be
forced open. Community Events The Ecclesiarchal
Choir will be holding open auditions in the Lower
Chapel this evening. Citizens blessed with clear
voices, or any voices at all, are encouraged
to attend. The choir has doubled in size since
last week, a sign, perhaps, that faith still
grows, even in these difficult times. Listeners
have described their new hymns as beautiful but
strange. The notes don't always end where they
begin. It is said they practice in complete darkness,
guided only by feeling. Three Inquisitor miners
were sent to investigate possible heresy. They
have yet to return. Public Confessions The communion
wine made me sick. It burned all the way down,
but the priest said that meant it was working.
Now my breath smells like incense and I cough
blood when I pray. Should I be worried or grateful?
Forgive me, servitor father. The choir told me
I could join, but I don't know the words. They
said I'll learn when the song reaches my blood.
All confessions have been received and archived.
Remember, citizens, the Emperor hears every voice,
even the ones that don't sound like yours. If
you have contributed to this week's devotional
fire, please report to the Civic Renewal Office
for complimentary ointment, a short sermon on
flammability, and then minor execution. Maintenance
Bulletin The Mechanicus has requested volunteers
for reactor recalibration. Those chosen will
receive an additional ration token and a complimentary
blessing of thermal endurance. Please ignore
any rumors that the reactor whispers. The Animus
machine's voice is not meant for the uninitiated
and certainly not for the superstitious. Lastly
in maintenance bulletin. The Animus machine in
Scriptorium 6A will be performing its monthly
purge cycle at dusk. Please refrain from prayer
during the event. The Animus is easily distracted,
and last month's malfunction resulted in 17 spontaneous
conversions, none of them theological. Lost and
found. Found. A small, perfectly smooth stone,
faintly pulsing with warmth. Found near Ventilation
Hub 13. Those who touched it report hearing faint
music and the feeling of being seen. If you recognise
this item, please contact the Office of Objects
that should not exist. Lost. Technician Moran
Vale. Last seen descending into the sub -levels
to trace the sound. If found, please remind him
that curiosity without sanction is heresy. and
then escort him to confession. Faith Report Faith
remains high. Attendance at Mass has increased
by nearly 20%, though some attendees reportedly
chant in languages unrecorded in the archives.
The Ecclesiarch assures us that these new tongues
are simply the Emperor speaking through fresh
throats, and who are we to doubt his creativity?
The morning bells in Sector Epsilon rang continuously
for six hours before melting. Scholars describe
this as an excess of zeal. The faithful describe
it as beautiful. The mechanicum describe it as
wasteful. All are correct. Devotional Reading
The Liturgy of Hunger Verse 3 We fast to remind
ourselves that he hungers too. We eat to remind
him that we are still here. Balance is holy.
What beautiful words. Soothing. Please ensure
your ration card is stamped before enlightenment.
Weather report. A dense mist is rising from the
lower levels tonight, carrying with it the scent
of ozone and warm iron. Ash fall will continue
across the mid -habs, mingling with occasional
sparks of bioluminescence. A natural phenomenon,
the ministry assures us. If you see the light
move, do not follow. If the light sings, you
may listen briefly, but not for too long. Weather
remains steady. Everything remains steady. And
that concludes tonight's broadcast, citizens
of Hive Gloriana. I am your humble host servitor,
241. Sleep peacefully beneath the Emperor's gaze.
Dream gently. And if you wake at a distant singing,
remember, the choir welcomes all voices. Together,
we are stronger. Together, we are safer. Together,
we are statistically indistinguishable in nutrient
fats. Until next cycle, this is Vox Sanctum signing
off. Stay faithful. Stay diligent. Stay tuned.
Ave Imperator. Vox Sanctum Gloriana is an Evil
Lighthouse production.
