    I don't mean to hurt entropy's feelings, but entropy doesn't have shit on the 40K 'verse. The instant realspace got connected to a dimension of infinite energy and endless feedback loops, entropy went and hid in the corner for a while.

    845 M06 “You seem excited, albeit tinged with frustration. Did you discover a new wraithbone interaction or something?” The Emperor asked, having noticed the direction of my thoughts though the connection that we never actually bothered to close, these days. “No, although I did finally...

    502 M06 The canon tyranids were done dirty by their instincts. The ravenous hunger that drove them didn’t allow for many higher tactics, but more importantly, it drove the pace of everything the tyranids did. Of particular note was gestation time. Do you know why space marines overmatched...

    Fair enough. I appreciate the feedback. I'm trying to strike a balance, so if I'm leaning to heavily one way or the other I'd like to hear about it. The start of the story was a bit too navel-gazing MC focused, and the current chapters are a bit too far of a course correction.

    Yup. Stack up enough changes and the players are going to start looking quite different. That being said, the setting itself is still mostly unchanged, which is why we're going to get more Eldar/Ork/Etc interaction over time.

    340 M06 “So based on what we know now about New Common, can anybody tell me when the language describing pair bonds shifted to the current nomenclature of mind and heart being a pair?” Acha looked over her class of a dozen pairs with a smile. She was still new to teaching Secondary, but even...

    967 M05 Budu was nervous, but tried not to show it, resisting the urge to run his hand over his head-ridges. No sense spooking Shupa or their hunting-lizards. His apprentice was prone to worry enough without the worries of the tribe elders added on top. “Alright, Shupa. Tell me why we...

    664 M05 “So have they figured out any more details about the attack?” So far as I knew, this was earlier in the timeline than Eldar had interacted with humanity in canon, but that was hardly surprising, given the comparatively early use of FTL for colonization. “Yes. The ground forces...

    I suspect you are looking for a different sort of story than I'm aiming to make. Which is fine, but if you're going to be disappointed with interaction, reactions, and exploration of consequences, rather than "direct action", then you'll probably want to look elsewhere. There are a lot of moving...

    661 M05 Four years ago, Longfell was a sleepy colony of three billion souls.

    657 M05 The first thing people noticed was that every partner in the solar system looked up and started growling, which worried a lot of people, and caused them to spend considerably more time than usual going over the local scan results. “Command, I have 14 confirmed, make that 15 confirmed...

    In a way, it's sort of inevitable, since little bits and pieces of evidence would just start stacking up over time, and unless you're willfully ignorant, enough snowflakes can cause an avalanche.

    807 M04 SNG-31, Song to his friends, hummed absentmindedly as he examined the break in the municipal dataline, and his beautiful partner Aria warbled in harmony with him. The music actually served a purpose too; while it was technically possible to modify wraithbone with purely intellectual...

    599 M04 I love getting returns on investment. Or, in this case, reciprocal gifts.
