And boy have we seized it.

Nice and boring is fine by me, since nice and boring is victory in the Age of Strife and WH40k in general.Hey, don't think of it as "unnecessary risk". Think of it as "opportunity for drama"!
Actually, that's kind of my point. That's thought, that's cunning, that's self-interest. That's reason. We can't afford a reasonable Psyker. We need the ones that are fanatics, willing to follow beyond the point of sanity, emotion, or thought. We don't need Psyker friends, we need Psyker slaves. Slaves bound by chains that they can't see, that they can't break.

Because in the end, the struggle against Chaos isn't reasonable. Any rational person would look at Chaos and realize that, sooner or later, they are going to win the war for sols. (Barring Tyranids or Necrons) They are stronger, smarter, and inexhaustible. When it comes right down to it, the struggle against Chaos is futile, because humans are inherently Chaotic. We aren't struggling against some unknowable alien force with Chaos, rather we are fighting something we know all too well: the face in the mirror.
Worse, we are fighting the universe. Evolution favors those that adapt to their environment. Chaos has become the 40K universes environment. Therefore, those best adapted to Chaos are the most perfectly evolved. That's what makes Psykers the next step in human evolution: They are adapting, evolving, to fit the environment they are in. Chaos.
And that is why we need to test Jinah and all other Psykers early. Because if they have any weaknesses, any at all, they can never be what we need, and putting them down would be a mercy. Or mind-wiping them. Whichever.
That would rather be like testing athletes by putting a twelve year old in front of a tiger to see if she can outrun its interest.Actually, that's kind of my point.

Too much ninja.And no.
Seriously.
the only group I'm in favor of doing horribly unethical things too is the Eldar.
who as far as I'm concerned can be broken mentally physically and spiritually then made into slaves and eventually into dragon fertility booster's.
if we can't kill them all and can't even get rid of the ones on planet then we might as well make the ones on planet into something that's actually useful.
it'd be fitting revenge anyway.
They wanted to break us, they killed our dad, destroyed our mom's sanity.
We'll break them, make into nothing but slaves and puppets for our will, crush their arrogance under our boots and when they are no longer useful use them to make new dragons.
Desperate attempt to change the subject to something more lighthearted, do you think that maybe one day we'll be able to make little genetically engineered not-quite-dragons to serve as household pets? I mean, without the hearts formed from living beings powering them. Imagine a little schnauser-sized drake, bringing the newspaper to its master.
You- Do you not understand how Eldar work? They'll just keep coming. In fact, that'll bring in more."Abandon all hope ye who enter here."
if we can't force them to stop showing up... then we'll just have to become so fucking scary and horrible even proto-deldar thrill seekers nope the fuck out at the very mention of our planet.

Literally, until we get to the point of actually being a threat. Et which point they'll steamroll us.
well then at least they'll be a source of free slaves and dragon aphrodisiac.
But don't you care about their feelings? The poor innocent eldar helplessly stranded alone like a maiden in a defenseless castle on this dark evil planet. You don't know what extreme depravities the poor eldar are constantly being subjugated to by their cruel evil mistress(Dandriss).I'm making the mother of all Dragons here Ekans. can't fret over every Knife Eared Egg.
but seriously, I'm open to anyway you've got to make the eldar problem less of a problem.
i just want to put all these freeloading immigrants to work.... but nooooooooo....
fucking chickenshit bureaucrats with your warcrimes and your "human rights" eldar aren't even human! it doesn't apply to them dammit!

Don't you what to protect them from the evil dragons out there fantasying over their tantalizing flesh?
Build a wall. Make them pay for it.
They're elves. Give them a handful of leaves. and hope they cut their greedy little hands on the edgesdo the eldar even have currency? would they be paying in labour or what?

Huh. I missed your comment earlier.That would rather be like testing athletes by putting a twelve year old in front of a tiger to see if she can outrun its interest.
People are mutable. Children GROW, putting someone with less than a year of development into a moral crisis does not 'detect weaknesses'.
All you prove is their luck.
