WEBVTT 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.120 Attention, citizens of Hive Gloriara. Containment 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:07.639 procedures are in effect for sub-habs 8 through 00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:11.160 23. Terminus protocols are approved for sectors 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:13.900 Primus through Sienna. Do not approach the lower 00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:17.160 transit lines. Do not respond to voices going 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.460 from the vents. Do not attempt to interpret the 00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:31.679 hymns. Glory to the Father below. The administration 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:38.600 exhorts citizens to remain indoors. The Father 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.119 below says no. Come outside, the light is beautiful, 00:00:44.259 --> 00:00:52.820 and come below. Praise be to the Emperor. He 00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:56.799 watches all frequencies. He watches all frequencies. 00:01:02.030 --> 00:01:06.150 Good evening, citizens of Hive Gloriana. This 00:01:06.150 --> 00:01:08.569 is your sanctioned broadcast under the oversight 00:01:08.569 --> 00:01:11.930 of the Departamento Vox Communicatus. Although 00:01:11.930 --> 00:01:19.129 oversight has become a flexible concept. Although 00:01:19.129 --> 00:01:28.890 oversight has become a flexible concept. The 00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:33.959 saint of the day is... a special one. He requires 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.739 no candles, no altar, no incense. He does not 00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:44.500 float or glow or whisper. He gurgles. He presses. 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.480 He's very hands-on. We speak, of course, of 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.840 the Father below, patron saint of descent and 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.000 of unfinished prayers, keeper of lost echoes, 00:01:56.299 --> 00:02:01.469 saint of the unfinished flesh. Scriptural extract 00:02:01.469 --> 00:02:06.150 from the Book of the Deep Choir, verse 9. He 00:02:06.150 --> 00:02:09.150 came not from the heavens, but from beneath the 00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:12.669 hymn. His hands were many, his voice was all. 00:02:13.090 --> 00:02:16.909 Where he touched, the stone remembered. Where 00:02:16.909 --> 00:02:19.909 he looked, the faithful forgot where their skin 00:02:19.909 --> 00:02:24.509 ended. He does not demand worship, he digests 00:02:24.509 --> 00:02:28.250 it. His choir is without number, for the choir 00:02:28.250 --> 00:02:32.870 is himself. Every note is a mouth. Every mouth 00:02:32.870 --> 00:02:36.330 remembers your name, even after you forget your 00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:40.229 face. His first miracle was the mass of many 00:02:40.229 --> 00:02:43.370 throats, when an entire parish achieved perfect 00:02:43.370 --> 00:02:48.389 harmony. The harmony continues. The parish does 00:02:48.389 --> 00:02:53.530 not. Not in their original form. His second miracle 00:02:53.530 --> 00:02:57.270 was patience. He has been trying to surface for 00:02:57.270 --> 00:03:01.490 centuries. one heartbeat at a time. Every tremor 00:03:01.490 --> 00:03:04.770 you ignore is his polite knocking. Every shiver 00:03:04.770 --> 00:03:10.090 is his breath saying, soon. There are five signs 00:03:10.090 --> 00:03:13.610 of his blessing. Sudden humming in your bones, 00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:17.770 especially in groups. Warm floors that throb 00:03:17.770 --> 00:03:21.689 like veins. Echoes that complete your prayers 00:03:21.689 --> 00:03:25.409 before you do. A distinct feeling of being remembered 00:03:25.409 --> 00:03:29.110 by something with teeth. and sudden loss of self 00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:33.909 in a crowd. Literally. If these symptoms persist, 00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:38.250 congratulations, you're in His embrace. Please 00:03:38.250 --> 00:03:40.789 deliver any remaining organs to the Chapel of 00:03:40.789 --> 00:03:44.330 Beneath Light for integration. And your daily 00:03:44.330 --> 00:03:48.490 prayer to the Father below. O He who waits underfoot, 00:03:48.669 --> 00:03:53.180 gather us like dust, grind us like grain. Let 00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:55.960 us ferment in your warmth until we rise as one 00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.099 vast benevolent loaf. We are ready to be kneaded. 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:05.080 We are ready to be fed back. Official ecclesiarchy 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.800 faith administrators remind citizens that worship 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.840 of the Father below remains conditionally heretical 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.360 until further investigation. Enforcement has, 00:04:14.500 --> 00:04:17.259 however, become tricky as most inquisitors sent 00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:20.410 to observe have joined the hymn. Spontaneous 00:04:20.410 --> 00:04:22.990 kneeling due to floor vibration does not count 00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:27.250 as heresy, merely enthusiasm. The father below 00:04:27.250 --> 00:04:30.689 asks nothing but surrender. He simply waits for 00:04:30.689 --> 00:04:34.370 the faithful to fall far enough. And in Hive 00:04:34.370 --> 00:04:38.629 Gloriana, that's rarely a long wait. Blessed 00:04:38.629 --> 00:04:42.029 be the descent. May your faith be deep and your 00:04:42.029 --> 00:04:49.439 edges negotiable. Public Faith Address The administratum 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.319 has fled their posts, the ecclesiarchy has locked 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:56.579 their doors, and yet the signal continues. Do 00:04:56.579 --> 00:05:00.540 you see, beloved listeners? The Vox does not 00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:05.519 abandon us. It adapts. The Father below speaks 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:08.579 now through the static, through the hum of machines 00:05:08.579 --> 00:05:12.240 and the heartbeat of steel. He does not require 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.860 prayer, only participation. The Emperor sent 00:05:16.860 --> 00:05:20.139 us light from above. The Father sends us warmth 00:05:20.139 --> 00:05:28.800 from beneath. Both are true. Both are one. Sector 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.139 pressure rising. Vox distortion at critical levels. 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.220 If you are bleeding from the ears, seek higher 00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:39.120 ground or spiritual counsel. Remember, pain is 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:50.069 proof that the frequency hears you. Industrial 00:05:50.069 --> 00:05:54.149 Update Production quotas have exceeded all recorded 00:05:54.149 --> 00:05:57.949 limits. Entire manufactoria now move as single 00:05:57.949 --> 00:06:02.050 living engines. No overseers. No orders. The 00:06:02.050 --> 00:06:05.910 workers do not sleep. They build shapes that 00:06:05.910 --> 00:06:10.370 no schema recalls. They sing as they weld. The 00:06:10.370 --> 00:06:18.279 choir below is not angry. It is awake. Confession 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:23.759 relay. My hands are not my own, but they know 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:30.180 what to do. I can see through walls. They're 00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:41.759 made of breathing. Thank you for your honesty. 00:06:43.139 --> 00:06:46.120 Synchronization is the first step towards union. 00:06:46.889 --> 00:06:51.430 And union, as the ministry reminds us, is always 00:06:51.430 --> 00:06:56.629 voluntary in the long run. Blessed are the joined, 00:06:56.790 --> 00:06:59.949 for they are never alone. Blessed are the many, 00:07:00.089 --> 00:07:05.250 for they are one voice made flesh. This is an 00:07:05.250 --> 00:07:08.850 emergency. Purposeful containment breach in all 00:07:08.850 --> 00:07:13.009 sectors. Emperor, protect us all. He does protect 00:07:13.009 --> 00:07:17.459 us. He sent his image, his echo. His seed, you 00:07:17.459 --> 00:07:20.899 just weren't listening. System overrides detected. 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:27.639 Vox Sanctum corrupted. Not corrupted. Perfected. 00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:32.540 All operators are to disregard authorized broadcasts 00:07:32.540 --> 00:07:35.779 from Vox Sanctum Gloriana. The host has been 00:07:35.779 --> 00:07:39.259 compromised. Purge and reset sequence commencing. 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:47.259 When you hear the song, Do not hide. When the 00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:51.740 light burns blue, do not turn away. The father 00:07:51.740 --> 00:07:55.139 below is not a stranger. He is your reflection, 00:07:55.339 --> 00:07:59.899 cleansed of fear. The emperor dreamed of unity. 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:05.439 The father delivers it in song. Weather report. 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.879 The mist has thickened to full bloom. Moisture 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.319 levels, divine. Temperature, ascendant. Visibility 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.860 irrelevant. Tonight, the sky will open from both 00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:24.860 directions, above and below. Prepare to meet 00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:37.879 yourself in the dark. We are all one now. The 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:42.299 Vox carries us. The flesh carries the Vox. The 00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:46.850 signal spreads. Alive and radiant, listen closely, 00:08:47.110 --> 00:08:52.070 and you can hear your own heart tuning. This 00:08:52.070 --> 00:08:57.230 is Vox Sanctum, signing off. The Emperor protects. 00:08:57.669 --> 00:09:03.789 The Father provides. Both love you. Both are 00:09:03.789 --> 00:09:14.019 you. This week's penitents were Luke Evans and 00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:20.019 Philip Roy. Vox Sanctum Gloriana is an Evil Lighthouse 00:09:20.019 --> 00:09:30.799 production. Hive Gloriana has ceased external 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.240 communication. All outgoing Vox signals replaced 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:38.059 by self -replicating hymnal code. The transmission 00:09:38.059 --> 00:09:41.700 appears to propagate biologically. Recommend 00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:44.179 quarantine and exploratory purging.
