And thus, all the (major) threats of Monstrum are dealt with. For those of you who started this story hoping for it to be about endless expansion, industrialization, and Tide creating a kick-ass new faction... well, its taken a while, but you're going to be eating well in the coming chapters I think.

Taking bets on who got Slaanesh's the call to arms. My main guess is Demoraz. He and his Emperor's Children warband should be in Segmentum Obscrus since Cadia went Kablooey. Not too much of a trip to the Ghoul Stars with Chaos God blessed navigation
Other contenders in my mind are Asmilius the Glittering and Abyssa. Asmilus because a bunch of Black Legion terminators composed of Abbadon's Honor Squad would be a heck of a fight. Abyssa because that Demon Prince fought in the War of the Webway so is probably used to non-Chaos supernatural shenanigans.

Definitely thinking AI, personally. For amusement's sake, imagine that it's called Durendal or Joyeuse.

Great, I've started to miss him trying to re-create halo tech, hopefully the scientist he had tasked with researching other ftl cracks slipspace.
Is he going to create living species? I know he made the flowers real and not just flood, just wondering if he's gonna re-create the covenant species or other fictional species? Also some progress on Khalak, and the other captives he had would be nice to see.

Yet another person forgets that the Orks aren't just warriors... they're engineers.
Orks: "Erectin' a Dispenser, yoze gits!"
They definitely know how to stop mean mother hubbards from tearing them new structurally superfluous behinds.

And the Grot is probably more cooperative than the Boyz.
However, I wonder what the plan is for the Orkz now.
I mean, fight obviously, but what is Tide's plan?

Pretty sure that he pointed them in the general direction of one of the Hive Fleets.

I think the best way to deal with the Tumors would be to subsume them and re-weave them so that their positive aspects are now at the forefront. It would be the ultimate, most fitting demise for the Four Tumors to be essentially replaced by what are essentially living perversions of their very nature.

I feel like Slaanesh just caused a Crusade, but the ensuing Narrative Weight behind such an action will hard lock the Universe into a Clusterfuck not seen since Kaurava.

I think it was the mollusk actually. The daemon that Tide just ended was a Keeper of Secrets?

If it were me I'd drop them on a barren planet and let them do as they want. With the rule that they can't leave the planet without permission.
But in return Tide will give them supplies to build with, use them as a combat test for his designs, plus stress relief for any people that want to fight for a bit in a bot body.
And if Tide finds a decent threat, beam the orcs over to fight it.
Provide extra planets as the orc population needs.
As long as the Orks get a supply of good fights they should be pretty happy, right?

Keeper of Secrets
"Better to pluck out your eyes and fight blind than to look upon such a vile, blasphemous monstrosity." — Chaplain Trakus, White Scars Chapter The loathsome yet beguiling entity of the Warp known as a Keeper of Secrets, also sometimes referred to as a "Bringer of Temptation," a "Feaster of...

Keeper of secrets is PINK; though with a name like this they seem like Tzeetnchian flavored Explorers/Tomb Guards.

Wording it as not giving them permission would be bad, instead tell them that as long as they keep a psecific area of the planet empty and not leave the planet lots of good fights will come out of said area for them to fight, that would jive much better with Orcish sensibilities and 'logic' than basically laying down the law of the law. By trying to force them to do something by laying down rules they'll try to fight against the rule constantly, but by making it a condition for more fun fights that escalate forever they'll not WANT to leave lest they lose the fun eternal battle.Assrunrunrunrunrun

On the creating living species thing… maybe? On the one hand, Tide would like to create all kinds of different life as it's the closest thing to a god-given purpose he has. On the other hand, said life would then exist in the 40k universe. That's uh… that's not a prime 'settle down and have a few kids' place.
They all noticed.
Keeper of Secrets are Slaanesh's lot, Lords of Change are Tzeentch's. It's a confusing decision, considering Lords of Excess would make more sense for Slaanesh.
It was indeed Slaanesh who noticed. All the gods have some level of control over destiny and fate, it's just most commonly associated with Tzeentch.
