And while you're at it, best to check that everyone is all right after yesterday's debacle...how in the Warp did that even happen....

"I will have Techpriest look at it. I have to save Nyzart and myself from his own stubbornness. I can prevent tribunal this time, but again he is doing things behind my back."

The Steel Legion are quite admirable.

There was a tribunal? What for?
>Alice looks confused, butAFAIK it's just a cube containing information, although it also needs someone experienced with Xenos to decode it.
">>the cube is necron in origin, and your experience with Nyzart tells you that it contains heavily encrypted data that only the cracking cogitators of a xenology specialist even have the hope of decrypting" Is how it was described in the last thread.
Nyzart, could you confirm exactly what it is?

Well. With this dealt with, I think I'm going to scout the shi- I mean take a walk over the ship.
>>45029357
If the Imperium seeks to gain something from the conflict, then I cannot see why not.
Sometimes I wonder if it would be possible to have a.....'ceasefire' with some Xenos....but history has shown that this VERY rarely happens, the situation with Overlord Nyzart being the exception, rather than the rule.
