"Magos Calibrator Veth." Marie overcomes the urge to glance at Lauronum and grin. I expect this tech-priest is functioning to your satisfaction." Magos Calibrator Delta Veth is waiting at the bottom of the ramp. The tech-priest directs them toward a hangar, and when they disembark from the guardsman attack shuttle the heat assails them even in the dimly lit bay. I'm sure there are still some left untouched." Marie smiles at Lauronum. "Lady Violette had some more cakes sent to the stronghold of the Eternal Swords. You've been aboard this ship for far too long." "But before then, I think you would do well with a bit of shore leave. Provision-Master Pluvius estimates it will take nearly six months to complete the task." Marie's attention shifts from Lauronum to Dara. There aren't enough repair crews in this system to service them all at once. "Does that mean we're going to Glazen?" asks Lauronum. Feltrov is the domain of an Inquisitor, and he would like nothing more than to discover a threat against the Imperium. Some people may consider you an aberration in the face of the Imperial Cult. "It's also said that long ago, humans were ignorant of the dangers beyond Holy Terra." Dara opens her mouth to speak and Princess Marie continues. It is a gesture that Marie has learned their two cultures have in common. "Dara." Marie takes the other woman's hand. It's said that even thinking about them is dangerous." "No." Marie says it with such flat vehemence that Dara looks at the princess in surprise. "Then surely they can be communicated with, reasoned with." "Sub-dimensional entities! Self-aware energy patterns hypothesized to exist within another fold of reality." Dara looks at Lauronum. "You're referring to sub-dimensional entities?" Daemons often try to attack ships that are traveling through the Warp." "Creatures of the Warp." Lauronum finally sees fit to speak. If not for the currents, there are worse things. "Traveling through the Warp is always dangerous, no matter how short the journey. "No danger?" Marie is out of her chair and at the control panel before Dara can respond. With the antiproton drive fully operational, there's no danger. This ship was made for much longer voyages. The woman in yellow looks back at Marie and raises her hands from the control panel. "Your majesty." Exasperation has crept into Dara's voice, and when she looks at Lauronum for support the tech-priest gives her a flat silent gaze. If I were a movie studio exec I'd be fucking embarrassed at my inability to make stars. People are still long term fans of things, but there's just no such thing as movie stars anymore. Minecraft has been popular for more than a decade now, they're still making marvel movies that make billions, Joe Rogan is still huge, etc. It can't be hand waved away either with muh zoomie attention spans. Even fucking royalty are largely ignored when back when she was alive princess Diana was constantly talked about month after month after month. Ton try to get pushed by the corporate media apparatus but they're so talentless and charmless that even though they appear in ads and on talk shows and in magazines and other established media outlets with supposedly millions of viewers absolutely none of them have become household names. This is why it's so pathetic that there are no more A Listers in any section of the entertainment industry anymore.
