    The chronicler seems a lot more vehemently anti-alien in the last few videos. Clearly someone had a productive conversation with the Ordo Xenos.

      The Remembrancer has ALWAYS been anti-Xenos as far as I am aware, though I've only been acquainted with him for the past year or so, and cannot vouch for him beyond that.

    Dear chronicler,
    I wish to pose an inquiry that confused me to no end. I was led to believe that Port Maw was, like the fortresses, of unknown Xenos origin, merely finished by construction of Imperial superstructure upon the Xenos-made core. Could you clear this confusion.

    One imagines that Terrans do not refer to the God Emperor as "Him upon Terra." One can picture a common scene, cliche in its recurrence, where a newly arrived pilgrim uses those words, and a haughty Terran (secure in his pride over an offworkder, however lowly his birth) responds, "You are now upon Terra. Do not mistake yourself for _Him Upon the_ *Throne* "

    If I were the Inquisition - the first thing I'd do is send a senior Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos with a full Kill Team and appropriately a partner Mechanicum group to conduct a real investigation. Oh...maybe Cawl will get along with that. Frankly I'd be tempted just to chuck it into the nearest star by any means necessary given that the Imperium's recent record with them is less than...stellar (ahahaha).
