Chaos Rising - Conspiracy of Evil

[@pontifexaurum]

Get out. Get out! GET OUT! Librarian Jonah Orion, upon Martellus invading his room whilst having a shower.

[@phoenixfire9176]

i just noticed that the things the characters say link with what they do if they betray you. Thaddeus : "i have done what you asked. No more. Can you hear me?" he's talking to Ulkair, like he does in his betrayal. Avitus : "Kill them all! Let there be blood!" when he betrays, he has abandoned all and consumes himself in war to hide his past Tarkus: "None other will do. It must be mine. Then we can fight back. It will be mine." Talking about the tainted bolter and how he plans to set things right with it. Jonah : "get out. get out. get out!" addressing the daemon that takes over his body.

[@TwinHuginHelmet]

+Phoenix Fire He's the first one. "He leads us around in circles! Why does he command?" It refers to Indrick Boreale of the Kaurava campaign. It could of course be implied to display his frustration with your command as well.

[@superfrycook6360]

Well, Avitus betrayal is canon

[@lonecolamarine]

How can you forget The force commander’s horrible word for word quote of the sergeant from Dawn of war 1’s intro? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[@Sir_Bucket]

Jonah has the most "noble" betrayl, even when the deamon possess him, he still fight his psychic energy while the bloodraven kill him. And the deamon ket you know that he was terribly hurt from his fight with the hive mind, his spirit was scramble but he still served the chapter, without letting any sign of his weakness. I'm sure he was approoving his death while going into the warp,

Cyrus asking himself about comanders competence because he started questioning chapter leaders.

[@Blazieth]

Actually, to me the Neutral ending seems most Plausible. While Cyrus, Martellus, Tarkus and Jonah show no signs of their corruption risks here in Chaos Rising ten years later as of Retribution, Avitus is confirmed dead as the traitor, while the Force Commander is absent. Most likely he's missing due to the neutral ending sending him on a Crusade of Absolution... however. One other is missing as well... Thaddeus. I think he went with Force Commander Hairgel.

[@AlexZebol]

Not really. In Retribution we play as the Honor Guard led by Captain Diomedes. Logically Aramus (Force Commander) was promoted to lead 4th Company as its Captain, while Angelos remained the Captain of 3rd. Thaddeus and Thule joined Aramus, Tarkus became Ancient out of shame, Cyrus and Martellus were agents of Gabriel Angelos at the side of Diomedes, Jonah remained as an advisor to Angelos.

[@shadowthespikythingy]

The only one I have a big problem with here is Thaddeus. Avitus' bloodlust, Cyrus' frustration with command, Tarkus' temptation, and Jonah's daemon are all things that could plausibly only partially corrupt someone, but Thaddeus can't partially pledge himself to Ulkair to open the Warp on Typhon.

[@RockmariomkiZX]

shadowthespikythingy Thaddeus was tricked into believing that he needed to pledge himself to Ulkair to save Gabriel Angelos and the rest of the Litany of Fury. That's what he's referring to.

[@mat4909]

That's his point. What they say related directly to their betrayal story lines, but most could be dismissed as the effects of the warp bringing out the worst in Avitus and Cyrus, or Tarkus and Jonah hearing voices. But Thaddeus's comment can't be dismissed so easily.

[@Benjaminy2k]

Especially since the lines play regardless of your corruption level.

[@lonecolamarine]

Perhaps Thaddeus was thinking back to his childhood during a hive ganger raid?

[@jj_see_film]

Its him rejecting ulkair somehow probably

[@TwinHuginHelmet]

"Kill them all! Let there be blood!" Honestly, who didn't add in their mind: "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" at the end of Avitus' ramble?

[@MatteV2]

Ugh, yeah.. It feels a bit wierd that Avitus became the cannon traitor, when Thaddeus obviously had... bigger issues.

[@DarkArtistKaiser]

I really like this mission. This is the first time Ive really seen how the warp effects men. But on another note, the aurora of this mission inside the ship, with the mystery going on it seems, makes this a creepy mission. I love it.

"It is hungry... it wants the holy gene-seed in each of us..." Is it bad that nasty thoughts sprung to mind when I heard that phrase? I think so. Get out. Get out. GET OUT!

[@alisonpurgatory85]

In older publications, it has been called 'gene-sperm'...

[@ultramewmewfan]

my personal theory is that he was taunted and tricked into an alliance by Ulkair who invaded his mind because of Thaddeus's despair on Typhon unable to save anyone. Here Ulkair merely torturing him with what Thaddeus has done.

[@Replican815]

Now THIS is an awesome story. Sure Retribution allows for six races in the campaign, but that takes away story like this, since the missions are pretty much identical, albeit with different approaches and dialogue, but that's pretty much it.

[@Sir_Bucket]

Meh; I still love how the orks don't care of any of the power involved in this sector. They just stall a hat and they were happy

[@superfrycook6360]

1:41 - 2:12 Tarkus: Another fallen Brother... Veteran Lucanus, also of the 5th Company. Jonah: ...and another reductor vial. Tarkus: Martellus, what do the rolls say about Brother Lucanus? Martellus: Killed in the Kaurava Campaign. Cyrus: I was at Kaurava. I recall no Lucanus. Martellus: Commander - Both Bonaparte and Lucanus served in the expedition aboard the Judgment of Carrion. I shall try to uncover more about this expedition.

[@lonecolamarine]

Ken Lenard Navarro Why quote the video? I was expecting a Boreale joke.

[@WarbossR0kt00fSant0s]

Might be a different Lucanus that died never meeting Cyrus.

[@FreemanKoC]

@Papadragon18 you get one for the Bloody Hand mission (the Avatar of Khaine), a corrupting one from the Legis Uprising mission (if you destroy the Black Reliquiary), plus you can bring three from the base game that's five, or four, if you do not count/get the corrupting one

[@BigDickCheney]

@drzoidburgrocks Give the squad corrupted items to use. Do corruption mission objectives. Leaving some squads behind on certain missions also give corruption.

[@holdinmcgroin8639]

It's interesting how the 'madness quotes' of each space marine show how and why they would turn to chaos.

[@MatteV2]

It's a really nice detail, but it simply serves to consfuse people, and makes any one of them the possible canonical traitor. Now, Avitus, being the canonical traitor, obviously is. However, with this it could be plaussible that they all became slightly corrupted, and as such the "Good" ending seems to be the most plausible instead of the full purity or neutral ending.

[@dragonstormx]

Wait a minute, I'm just thinking about this now but, Tyranids, apart from Geenstealers would be useless in their role as spies otherwise, have no means of sustaining themselves, so if they got stuck on a Space Hulk they should starve, unless I suppose something happened like the daemons in the warp kept them alive for their amusement, but that's unlikely because tyranids have no souls and can't be corrupted.

[@isisbarfuss558]

I've always wondered (or maybe I forgot the answer): why can't Thule get corrupted? It could've been cool to fight him in a boss fight. Maybe trauma from being near death could've been the thing that tainted him.

[@GruntyMcgrue]

A space hulk is a warp-fused mass of hundreds of ships, stations, asteroids and debris that was either floating in the warp or go absorbed by a warpstorm. Either pieces or whole ships. Some hulks are the size of a planet. Some of these house tyranids. When inside the warp tyranids go into hibernation. Upon exiting they wake up and enjoy a feast. Also, tyranid gestation pools. Bunch of gaunts go in, a carnifex evolved to live in the hulk comes out. Or what have you. There are probably tyranid

[@AbyssalZones]

So the comments the squad make all hint at them being the traitor. Do they all say it in the same mission? Clearly only one of them can be a true hint within the same playthrough.

[@blastermaster5039]

Both Avitus and Tarkus began blathering during my playthrough since both of them have 2 and 1 corruption while I am playing this map. Its actually... interesting to see it happen. I mean it'll be nice addition to more games where corruption and evil can worm its way in your party.😊

[@noahfuller4128]

also if you think about it, if the fifth company was lost here, Thule was 4th company captain, Angelos third, diomedes 1st, and boreale was given command of 1/2 the chapter, was he the 2nd company captain??? wow.

[@mat4909]

He's supposed to be captain of the 9th Company, though how much sense that makes is uncertain.

[@musafawundu6718]

Boreale was deliberately given a command that he was completely out of his depth for. More competent and qualified Captains like Diomedes, Angelos, and Thule were kept out of it by Kyras because he knew that they would succeed. Angelos would definitely have questioned Kyras' choice, and has such he was sent on a far away assignment. Thule was disillusioned following the Kronus Campaign, and Diomedes would hardly question anything that Kyras would order, since he didn't even do so when Kyras ordered the Blood Ravens to retreat from the Aurelian sub-sector, their own sub-sector, he went ahead and executed the order without any hesitation and only FC Aramus and Tarkus capturing him and then talking sense into him made him see proper logic.

[@hutchy1k94]

@Rocketfist15 Both. The warp being the reason for their madness.

[@The_Midnight_Bear]

@503leafy because he isnt part of your squad.he doesnt actually go on the ship.

[@TwinHuginHelmet]

How did you get FOUR terminator armours at this stage?

[@Damocles178]

Ha Ha I think Cyrus recalls no Lucanus because half the chapter got wiped out during that campaign; there was too many names to remember. Must've been like 500 marines killed in action during Boraeles attempt to open a theme park (Better known as the Boraeleum) lol :D

[@The_Midnight_Bear]

@dragonstormx firstly,time is perceived diferently in the warp.seconsly,may they found something still living in the ship.and who say they havent been absorbed recently somehow.or hibernation.they had to put the tyranids in the game in a way or another

[@LyrelltheDark]

Yes Avitus as traitor was pretty obvious.

[@503leafy]

@Extraintrovert If that is so, why didn't Martellus have one?

[@hutchy1k94]

@503leafy He wasn't on the space hulk... Duhh =P

[@nwerner3654]

Good game, but I've always hated how undisciplined it portrayed the Space Marines to be.

[@Brandelwyn]

You know, this part relies heavily on the particular chapter traits. Of course, some Ultramarines fellows would follow orders to the letter, but guys like Flesh Tearers or Space Wolves are given some more freedom. And while the same couldnt be said about Blood Ravens, they are curious about everything, especially their history, beyond any reasonable measure.
