Good, good. Though Taylor will not been known as the Queen of Blades. This title belongs to another person in this universe.

Antony444

Got a strong Queen of Blades vibe from this chapter about her expanding her powers of controlling the swarm!

Thanks! Yes, I have a massive ( to not say giga-enormous) for this story. The core is already decided for the Age of Hope, and I've a good idea what I want to write for the rest. The end goal...this story begins and ends with Taylor Hebert. That's all I'm going to say on the subject for the moment.

Antony444

I'm not going to lie every chapter draws me in more and more and i want more sooner too. Anyway loved it as always and I have to ask how far do you plan for this to go do you have an end goal in sight even?

Confused

Indeed, Taylor is really one of the parahumans there is no need to pressure to try new things and experiences.

Antony444

QA have the time of her life, Exchange of knowledge with C'tan shard, interacting with a Hive mind that can reach light years and that is not counting the interaction with the power from Emperor.

It's more a...long list of phisophical points the Mechanicus are always sure to debate when many Forge Worlds tech-Priests meet in large numbers. The basics of what Mars want to offer are more or less decided, though there is room for negotiation and personal preferences.

Antony444

Before the battle at Pavia, it looks like there will be another interesting struggle among the Mechanicus. I wonder if this will affect the size of the reward Mars is giving her for the STC? I had suggested that it might be some of the ships that accompanied the Archmagos from Mars. On the other hand, it might not be because they might decide they need all of them for escort, especially once they realize just how many STCs and partials there are.

Thanks a lot! But yes, a lot of this arc was world-building. Now we are going to return to the cycle of escalation proper. Pavia awaits, and with it a cataclysmic battle...

Antony444

Oh, I'm sure Leet will survive...probably. Maybe.

Antony444

Hail! And yes, the scales of conflict have brutally escalated once more...without trying.

Antony444

I loved this chapter, it did a great job of filling in some of the smaller PoVs of the events taking place. The poor AdMech consigned to share a station with Leet, the Confessor taking care of the critically wounded Fey Guard and even the Inquisition's big meeting all of them helped build out the setting.

Alexander S

Almost died when i was reading the leet section. I get the feeling that his days are numbered...

Richard Paull

“Hail the Queen of the Swarm...” indeed, i really liked this chapter; should be interesting meeting looking forward to more; of course the queen of escalation, escalates without even trying :)

Not everything stupid humanity does is because of the Ruinous Powers, alas. But we are approaching a period where demagogues and ambitious tyrants have their own ideas on Imperial Governance...

Antony444

Well, given her opinion on Sainthood, it's the only way she does them...

Antony444

Great update. It looks like the ruinous powers have missed an opportunity. Judging by Sylvester Beagle, certain Imperial officials have achieved weapons grade stupidity. If the Chaos gods can just get it to critical mass, the Imperium will perish due to rampant idiocy.

Trevayne

Oops, she accidentally another miracle.
