Praise to the few loyalists in the warbands of the Alpha Legion, praise to the Sisters Hospitalier. I liked Sister Tabitha’s voice too, that was a good plus, I enjoy collabs.

[@inquisitorgarza312]

To be a Nurse in the Grim Darkness of the far future is a struggle for the spirit of any man or woman, but it is through their great strength that allows for thousands if not millions of brave soldiers to live from the harsh struggles of the countless wars that the Imperium fights against the innumerable enemies of mankind.

[@rexrip1080]

I wander if they are also mechanics as well since a portion of humans is more metal then meat? From what I understand, humanity basically has prosthetics so realistic that they can replace human limbs without an average person noticing the difference, it is just Mechanicus that likes to look like metal trash piles bolted together. By that logic, a lot of people on the front line have a bunch of upgrades or prosthetics to compensate for a shit ton of lost body parts. Do medics work with that as well since I doubt there are enough tech priests to fix up average upgraded humans?

[@inquisitorgarza312]

@@rexrip1080 it probably depends if that regiment has those spare parts in their inventory, and I read that imperial citizen could be mechanics though only the guidance and teaching of a Tech-Priest that allows them to fix up simple machination like their weapons or even tanks, but that doesn’t mean they become Tech-Priest themselves.

Ooh Alpharius doing loyalist things, a rare gift indeed!

[@DocLeQuack]

Is it heavily hinted at that the Alpha Legion is secretly loyal?

[@johnd2058]

@@DocLeQuack Some fancanons say that's true as a whole, but my own interpretation (along with those of deep-diving 'tubers) is that their diffuse structure, mental reprogramming, and secret identities meant that the internal divisions of The Heresy were never resolved, unlike in other legions (see The Flight of the Eisenstein).

[@DocLeQuack]

@@johnd2058 I mean I was going off the official canon which heavily hints that Alpharius Omegon alongside the 20th legion are secretly loyal or at least Omegon is since Alpharius is technically confirmed as dead.

[@johnd2058]

@@DocLeQuack 'Hints' being the key word. In the lore, plenty of Alpha Legionaries have been encountered visibly 'blessed' by the Ruinous Powers.

[@phoneysprings93]

That was Omegon, Alpharius died. Also, Omegon is the loyal one. But then again, he did tell the Sister Hospitaller that this was a lie, right at the start. He just gave her false hope as a present for Sanguinala, that's hardcore grimdank.

[@dreamhollow]

This one had a lot more humanity than a lot of 40k stories, I think. It starts out with so much sadness and fear, like observing a hospital or hospice in it's darkest hour. No offense when I say so many 40k stories feel more inclined to demonstrating the practically inhumane nature of Astartes or Xenos factions, meanwhile the guard and the Hive world residents are there wondering if they will live for another day.

I'm not entirely new to warhammer but i am still finding new people/names all the time. Who is "THE" heretic in this story? Is it some leader that is attacking the world, or someone universally known?

[@bocatt9202]

"the" heretic, here, is simply some anonymous cult leader. The name isn't really important, as he isnt a character that exists anywhere else, the important bit is what he represents as an instigator of war.

[@Wolfenacht]

@bocatt gotcha. That's what I was thinking, but I was afraid that I was missing something. So this is either a rogue alpha legion, alpha legion are just baddies in disguise(which is what I feel), or they are bad and this somehow helps them in a complicated scheme.

[@chrissutton5484]

The alpha legion space marines are infamous trolls in the setting. Some are loyal to the emperor, some are loyal to the ruinous powers, but they all love to randomly fuck with people. When asked who they are, they always claim "I am Alpharius", similar to how every slave claimed to be Spartacus in that one movie. They all love to say "Hydra Indominatus" , a mockery of loyalist salutes. The only thing we know for certain in this story is that the alpha legionnaire is getting his rocks off messing with this sister. The "gift" could be a failed cultist that outlived his usefulness, or some random guardsmen that had got dressed up to look the part.

[@Schwarzvogel1]

@@chrissutton5484 Or it could be the actual arch-heretic who was leading the uprising in the system. Why would the Alpha Legion cripple a Chaos uprising? Because perhaps making sure the heretics fail in that system serves the long-term interests of the XX Legion in some way. Or perhaps the whole scheme could be a result of rivalry or infighting between different Alpha Legion warbands. The forces of Chaos (which technically _don't_ include the Alpha Legion) are not a unified group. They hate and war against one another even more often than they do against the Imperium. A warband dedicated to Slaanesh will happily ruin the plans of Nurgle worshipers, and vice versa.
