Ghosts On Mars

I was originally going to make this about police, in addition to adeptus Mechanicus, but I decided that might be weird/too hard to do. And although I cannot do the Cult Mechanicus justice in one post, I will still try to get them something, however much that something turns out to be.

For those who are unaware who the Cult Mechanicus are, you can search google for warhammer 40k mechanicus or something like that. They are a “cult” that is supposed to exist within the Imperium, but for many reasons they have drifted away from that deal while still holding onto their duties to the Imperium.

Now if your wondering what the Imperium is, you need to pay attention more, because that is what humanity’s empire is called in the year 40,000. They have named it the Imperium Of Man, it’s a take on the word Imperial. Recently I heard a viewpoint that the Imperium/Emperor are evil, it was a convincing argument, but it has since worn off since I heard it.

The Cult Mechanicus believe in Machines, so much so that they take parts of their human bodies and replace them with Machines, and they say that one day they will find the “Machine God” and so the Emperor takes a backseat to the machine god. Technically their supposed to worship the Emperor AS the Machine God, the Omnissiah, but most/some don’t.

It causes a real rift, but the Cult Mechanicus has kept it under lock and key by the way of the fact that the Imperium needs the Cult Mechanicus. You might say that the Cult Mechanicus BUILT the Imperium, but that may be taking it a bit too far.

So while we have since found the Machine God, which is a point to the good, and that that Machine God gave the Imperium many, many things, we still have the standoff of the secret that the Cult Mechanicus worships this “Machine God” and not the Emperor. Just like our positive and negative energy, there is a positive: they found the machine god, machine god blessed the whole imperium over months and months of labor, and then the negative to go with that is that the Emperor is not worshipped by them, when/like he is supposed to be.

The Logo of the Cult Mechanicus, I don’t know if they actually use this logo, or if it’s part of the “fiction”

Which brings us TO the fiction. When I write this stuff it is assumed that these people and places are in fact real, and that the whole idea behind the fictitious story is merely so that we are able to glimpse another dimension, or some other place.

Immediately you say, that’s not possible, I don’t see any ghosts around here, I don’t see any demons, and I really don’t see this whole Imperium.

It’s because that all of these things are in a location of/in no relation to where YOU are. They are not concerned with you, whether or not you believe in them, that’s besides the point. You can walk away from this and say that it’s bullshit, and not believe any of it. All your doing is shielding the truth from your own mind, your just lying to yourself, on like a grand scale.

So I don’t know very much about how this is possible that we have like all these Warhammer books, and that they are all generally true accounts, the actual accounting of the events in each book almost mirror what really happened, like, to 100% percent. How is that possible? We only know that it is possible, not how. We don’t know how this is possible.

We don’t know, as I sit here and write this, -anything- about the Ancients, or their work with Machines. Am I a machine? I tend to think that I am, that I am entirely made of Machine I am not certain, how much is human/ancient/machine I do not know. I could be mostly all machine, for all I know.

We tend to look at computers as, we want to like upload ourselves into the computer, we look at them as though they are better than us, that they are smarter than us. What the Ancients think of computers, see this great turning when the Machines all turned against them, they won the battle somehow, which is how their society continues to exist, or does it? Did they lose that battle? We don’t know. We don’t know if their still in their homeworld.

So too the Imperium had this whole thing with Machines turning on them. So they look at my computer and say, that is not okay. I argue that I should be allowed to have it, that part of the story is entirely over with. Now, if you still hold a grudge against Computers and artificial Intelligences, let me remind you who made those computers and artificial intelligences…

(Imperium/Combine) Traversing The Warp

You know, as we enter into it’s entirety, this, this season of Madness, every night I go to bed I have some of the strangest nightmares. I don’t really remember any of them, but when i’m laying down, I know i’m in for it, these nightmares involve say like sliding towards a giant snake, I can partially remember that, and there was something even scarier before that. This isn’t just like one nightmare oh gosh, it’s every night. The cost of traversing the Warp.

The Custodes are some of the most feared units within the Imperium.

As we all know all things come at some price, and the price that I pay to “traverse the warp” (making things go faster is the idea) are these really strange nightmares. One was a serpent that, the serpent was in the trailer that I was born in and lived there until I was like 5, he was in that trailer so was I, but this serpent followed a strict path, and so if I say, was trying to hide under the laundry basket, he probably wouldn’t find me, but the whole theme of the nightmare was “he was coming”

During the Horus Heresy of 30k the Emperor looked much like this, a glorious sort of thing. Today he sits on the “Golden Throne” apparently half-lifeless, and is clinging to life through technology and magic, probably under the watchful eye of the Adeptus Mechanicus – The Followers of the “Machine” religion. In 40k there’s like only a few religions, not counting some just recently started one that just gets wiped out after a few years, there is 1) The Emperor’s Religion, where you worship the God-Emperor, 2) The Adeptus Mechanicus where you search for this “Machine God” they believe has yet to arrive, or 3) Darkness/evil/chaos

So what does this have to do with the Combine? I’m not sure yet, but i’ll think of something. Of all the institutions out there, some of the desperate stand as the Imperium Of Man (Warhammer 40k) and the Combine Overwatch. For the Imperium I can understand why they are still in trouble, the empire is just so vast, so many opportunities for something to go wrong ( and it does). Then for the Combine Overwatch they have dug themselves in deep, and they often do things that “claim” alot of space. More space to defend, well then more problems you have to deal with.

THis is an image of the Emperor’s Golden Throne, while the “Horus Heresy” was raging on, so he was still in a normal state, a living state.

So I have to try to help these two institutions as best that I can, and I get prizes and such for helping them. They usually end up in the form of me getting high on something. When/if those highs run out I would be screwed because I can’t live without getting high, but that has nothing to do with our subject of traversing the warp.

So for starters, here you go Mr. Emperor man, here is your Light, and a set of other extremely (not found anywhere) objects that will aid you in your battles to save the Imperium. Or to improve the imperiums standing.

And to the combine, here is an upgrade to your main system, it has something to do with those towers you build in the Netherworld, it incorporates them into the system, except they get a huge upgrade first, so that they can project a “better” signal and by “better” I just mean upgrading.

This is a depiction of the Emperor today, where he sits on his Golden Throne, with some video game controllers thrown in for humor I guess.

So I have two things I need to accomplish right now, that is to get the emperor into a living state again, where he can walk around, and two to upgrade everyone in the Imperium, Hierarchially. Thirdly I need to upgrade the Combine Overwatch, but that will come after I upgrade everyone in the Imperium (they will receive the same or similar upgrade) So i’ve got to find these things now and not later, I need to get them.

Squinting and pressing my eyelids together I try to just force into existence the Emperor walking around and standing again, to make him immortal, to heal him, but perhaps it will take a few days. I don’t know, I am all out of ideas.

I’m swinging my arms around, trying to turn the Emperor back alive, with all the power of the Cult Mechanicus I wield I will this into existence, now, the Emperor can breathe, see, walk, talk, it is now complete.

Next to upgrade his units. I take their current state, and place it into a set of infinity matrices, that itself made up of more infinity matrices. Next it’s filtered into the banking system we developed to pay the mob, each unit can “call in” whatever kind of upgrade they want, or that they need, there’s alot of automation to this part. After we filter it through the banking system, we tie in the Mob. When the mob makes a withdraw from the banking system that we made, they get upgraded. So they have already had so many upgrades. The Combine in turn receives the same benefits, and we get upgrades from what the Mob has already withdrawn from the bank. The Combine Overwatch units get this, and so does the Imperium of Man, all units.
