He has to get back into dating people sooner or later because that is a way for him to move on and be happy. It's what Freya would want.
Eventually, but remember not dating. Even his marriage to Freya was an arranged on, though he could choose. We also have to think about the repercussions, Not many people showed to the first one cause of the danger of Avernus and fewer will this time due to how quickly Freya died, and the repercussions on Syr who could see us as just discarding her mother and moving on. Not a good state of mind
 
Avernus or no that would feel like "rocks fall." Unlike this situation I do not think the quest could survive that.
We know it's almost happened before. We've had turns where fred thinks about the past year and goes '...that time my plane malfunctioned and stranded me in that phase tiger infested forest where I had to fight for days until I was extracted. That was rough.'

And if one of those random rolls kills him I have no confidence that the quest will survive. That is all I'm saying.
 
On that note, lets start making plans, we can discuss marriage and other things after we have dealt with the immediate problems, of which there are several.
 
We need to focus on getting Syr out of shock and depression. She's at a formative stage in her life, so if we don't deal with her problems now it will gestate into horribleness.
 
Yes I am sure we can create a plague designed to kill an old one engineered species of warp using bio weapons that live in a place with thousands of harmful diseases...
It doesn't hurt to try. I would like to at any rate, though we should be careful, perhaps have our biologis test strains of virus or something on captured chaos cultists for testing harmlessness on humans.

It won't work, the wildlife on Avernus are being re-engineered in real time to deal with new threats as they come.
 
You do see the exceptional genetic trait of Styr for being of Freddy's line?
One trait, even an exceptional one, won't make up for a future heir that rolls 1's on their stats. Freddy isn't too invested in the idea that someone should be governor even if they're incompetent, just because they have his blood. It comes from being an administratum adept where you're encouraged not to marry and positions explicitly don't get passed down family lines.

Syr is turning out fairly well, but I don't think the line of rotbart trait should be a deal breaker either way.

This is Avernus, if people had that attitude our population would have been ground to dust by the constant attrition.
I realize, but Frederick isn't most people. He's the Planetary Governor, who's lived in the safest place on Avernus with what amounts to an entire chapter of Space Marines for bodyguards, whose most frequent witnessing of death isn't holding the line at the latest wall-breach but rather going over after-action report statistics. For him, home doesn't equate to death as it would for most Avernites. I just don't see the level of numbness that the average Avernites have towards death being ingrained in Frederick.

Construct: Major Refit: Defence Monitors- Avernus has over a hundred and forty Defence Monitors making up a major portion of its System Defence Force. Freya would like to take a few years to refit them with the advanced technologies recently discovered. Doing this will greatly increase the combat power of your Defence Monitors, making them an even more formidable force.

durin I'm seeing a lot of this in void command. You may want to go back and clean that up from the copy/paste.

So Fredy's feelings are more important than other people's and he has less of a responsibility to the future? I suppose it is a novel way to shrink his duties at least.

And technically yes they are. An emotionally compromised squad leader could doom all the men under his command. Freddy is responsible for the lives of around 4 billion people, may of whom could die at any moment.
