Lost and Found (Warhammer 40k SI)

Latscryjml

S+90/100
Lost and Found: Living as a Relic of Ages Past. Aboard a Grand Cruiser once lost now owned by a Rogue Trader dynasty with a heavy Adeptus Mechanicus presence. A soul wakes up shortly after the formation of the Cicatrix Maledictum, in a new unfamiliar body with a diverse suite of implants from the dark age. Primarily and originally uploaded on Spacebattles under my same username. Hello. This is my first writing project that I've posted here. It's a personal passion project that has been in the works for over a year now.It will include a mixture of first person pov segments from the SI and third person segments of other pertinent characters to give broader context. Feedback is appreciated. I apologize for my grammar in advance, remembering commas is hard.Overall the vibes I was going for were to show what a competent and well equipped group could do when cut off and tossed near the edge of known space, mixed with 40k space ship slice of life, a bit of gear/ship/tech binging and of course typical 40k awful shenanigans. No crossover abilities just a bit of external lore to help guide the SI. I draw a lot on bits of lore and items from the fantasy flight tabletop rpg games, and a bit from the novels, the regular tabletop and video games.Italics will be used for Noosphere, Vox, and digital communications and ship names.

Jackal Among Snakes

Nemorosus

S89/100
The royal bastard of House Vasquer, Argrave, changed after his stay studying magic at the Tower of the Gray Owl. The sickly man's awkward posture and cruel behavior have been replaced with a neat dignity and acerbic wit. Though once listless, he now strives towards his goals with a life-or-death tenacity. Most come away thinking he seems to know too many details about too much. Few can claim to know his motives or his goals. Yet behind that confident appearance, the primary contributor for an open-world RPG's wiki battles existential dread and things far beyond his ken as he struggles to adapt to a grim, gothic fantasy world mirroring his favorite game. The prospect of fighting against a world-ending calamity loses all of its appeal when it transitions from entertainment to reality. Argrave is spurred towards unwanted heroism to preserve his life as he struggles desperately to keep this sinking ship afloat. #####This fiction is stubbed.

To survive as an alien tyrant's husband, he'll need to grab his new life by the horns. A late shift watching an empty cell in a middle-of-nowhere facility? Sign Grant up. If the money's good, he'll gladly take the peace and quiet of a long, boring night. And then he meets the prisoner: Subject B-31. Blue, beautiful, and inhuman. He's told to think of her as a test subject, not a person. He's told to ignore the sorrow on her face and the desperation in her crimson eyes. Maybe he should have listened. Because his rescue attempt quickly turns into an alien abduction. B-31 is Sykora, a princess of the tyrannical Taiikari Empire, who whisks Grant into a galaxy filled with alien cultures, deadly rivals, and the sinister smiles of the Taiikari royal court. Grant will have to learn a new life, and learn it fast. Because when the Princess of the Void looks at Grant, she doesn't just see a savior—she sees a husband. And she isn't asking.

ErraticErrata

The Empire stands triumphant. For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland weave their plots behind pleasant smiles while rebellion stirs beyond Peren Woods, for dreams of crowns were buried in shallow graves. The greatest danger of all lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer restored order at last: her people sundered, she ponders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife. Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

The life of an emperor is good, luxurious, and short. For at the year’s end, he is sacrificed to the Nightlords under the light of the Scarlet Moon. I am Iztac. A pisspoor orphan and the year’s emperor. A sacrifice bound for the altar. But the vampires have made a mistake this time. For I am a sorcerer, whose soul journeys into the secret underworld to plunder the secret spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne. I have a year to find it, or perish for good. I may not be the first emperor, but I will be the last.
