@Durin, based on the fact that we have Grandmasters and High Grandmasters, is it a safe bet to assume that there is a Master rank within Telepathica?
 
That's not even funny as a joke :anger:.

How dare you propose to harm a cat.
Technically, it might not need to be underfed in the first place, it has precognition sufficient to let it know if an action might be detrimental to it's health, that includes things like being underfed.
They'd probably figure the situation out even before they've been punished.

No putting cats in boxes :rage:.
Also, underfeeding for a few days isn't really harmful. Just uncomfortable.
Or underfeeding them :mob:

I don't think they'd be subject to Schrodinger's Cat, but alright, if you're that worried, we could just keep one in a nice playpen and have it coincidentally very very vulnerable to any damage the building it's connected to might take, and give it a warning button so it can always easily avoid the problem.
 
How about this:
We give out cats to families.
We make a law that people aren't allowed to feed cats other than their own.
If someone dies the catdoesn't get adopted and has to live on the streets or out of the cities.
So if the cat wants shelter and food from a family it better warns them of trouble and kills the Blinkspiders.
 
Y'know what I should probably ask this before going any further.
@Durin, do the Temple Cats have the standard Avernus Package (Stronger and smarter than earth comparisons) or are they around the athletic capability of common earth cats?
 
1. How old is our Alpha?

EDIT

2. The Psyker Numbers Summary is showing Data from Turn 84, instead of Turn 85. (Pointing this out since it says it's up-do-date.)

Chapter One Non-Canon Omakes: Alpha
Alpha

++Thought for the Day: Power resides in the will of the righteous.++


They won't leave me alone. They won't leave me alone! Why is this happening!?

My hand switches the holo channels. Anything! I want to see anything else but I keep seeing their ghosts! The daemons! Chattering screaming clawing at me!

Eyes hurt so much. They're getting blurry. Haven't blinked, haven't closed in so long, it hurts so much...but I can't close them or I'll SEE them! No! Eyes open! But it's all blurring and I can see them more and more!

So cold. Teeth chatter and grind and they hurt and it's so cold AND IT'S GETTING SO DARK. Please...Emperor... Someone... Help me! Someone help me!

SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

BEGONE!

WarmsafelovethankyoufreeTRUTH.
...W-what?

Metal boots are walking on the ground. I look around and I see Saint Lin, the man on the holo who talks about the Emperor. And oh the daemons, they're there, but so far and they won't get close.

"Child, I am here now. There is no need to be afraid."

The daemons are still there, but they're so far away now and so quiet and what he says is TRUE.

"What is your name, child?"

Name...my name is...

My name...is...I had a name but what is it?

"I-I don't know. I have one but I don't know. I forgot."

He thinks for a little bit and his eyes are so kind and they get narrow like he's angry but he doesn't stop looking friendly.

"I see. Here, come with me, I will take you to a safe place where it's hard for the monsters to get you."

He puts out his hand, he wants me to take it. He wants me to go with him.

"Will you stay with me?" Please stay with me. Please! Please!!

"Of course, child. I'll be with you and I'll chase the monsters away if they come."

My hand moves slowly, and it's shaking a lot, but I move it and he takes it in his hand.

1. What did I get wrong in my omake?
2. Where can I find the planet creation options we had at the beginning? I've looked over the OP and I can't seem to find them.
 
It kinda implies its been there a while.
When? This is the first indication of Avernus influence on other worlds.
The only thing even close was Blink spiders trying to get up to the orbital stations.

By our standards Alfhiem is soft. By Imperial, and thus chaos/petty Imperium, standards it has moderately strong defences and a ludicrously huge garrison fleet.

The coward wasn't hard enough the last two times and we keep upgrading.

Personal thoughts really, but given the fact that things like the wolf will apparently rampage around the sector it needs a route.

There is also the fact that the DAoT were here they probably let some things go as well.

By Ork and Valinor standards they're easy meat.

And now he's got even more stuff and when he was last here he crippled our fleet.

Groundless speculation.
This is as bad as labling everything even slightly orderly Abomination Bait.

Also you have very low standards of 'crippled'.
He lost everything but his flagship and 1 hulk. We took minor losses.
 
Groundless speculation.
Garkill blasted our defence fleet to bits and crippled our Dreadnaught with this

1 Huge Space Hulk (36km at longest dimension, 9,300 km3 ) Death's Harbinger?
2 Large Space Hulks (27 and 29 km at longest dimension, 4,100 and 4,800 km3)
1 Small Space Hulk (19km at longest dimension, 1,300 km3)
100 Battlekroozers
50 Kill Kroozers
80 Terror Ships
250 Roks
200 Onslaught Attack Ships
150 Brute Ram Ships
200 Savage Gunships
200 Ravager Attack Ships
Now
1 Huge Space Hulk, 2 Large Space Hulks, 8 Small Space Hulks, 250-300 Battlekroozers, 500-700 Kroozers, 15,000-20,000 Escorts, 10,000 Roks

That's enough to smash Aflehiem the weakest world we have with ease and break through our considerable defences.

Also you have very low standards of 'crippled'.
1 Einherjar Class Command Battleship- "Fólkvangr" 26/96 HP

8/76 Castle Defence Cruisers
9/14 Hoplite Class Cruisers
3/5 Praetorian Class Cruisers
17/25 Warrior Class Cruisers
18/20 Monk Class Escort Carriers
14/16 Youxia Class Escort Cruisers
8/88 Knight Class Cruisers
I'm sorry maybe I should recount the 68 lost defenses crusirs and near dead Dreadnought.

We won that one easily because @Durin
yes, when I rolled and only 1 command battleship was built I expected that there would be a drown out land battle, I underestimated exactly how much the new tech improves your fleets
I very much doubt he will make the same underestimation.
 
Assuming all of them are deployed. Given the losses hr took last time, I expect a significsnt fleet will be left behind.
If he were to deploy his entire fleet in one system he could barge through pretty much everything, 11 space hulks particularly one on the size of Death's Harbringer is no laughing matter.

The only world who could fight that off or win is Muspelhiem and they're Craftworld lite cities.
