While waiting for the horned xenos to answer, the human with the strange contraption projected some sort of beam into him, bypassing his conversion field entirely. Suddenly worried, Stern checked his armor sensors to find that the beam was some sort of medical compound designed to accelerate healing and strengthen the body. However, since he was still distrusting of everyone in the group, he turned to rebuke what he had now discerned to be some sort of renegade medic. Before he could, however, one of the horned xenos answered him. The answer she gave made Stern seethe with anger. "What!?" he shouted in response to her answer. "That is HERESY! Mankind was created in the divine image of the God-Emperor! To suggest otherwise goes against ecclesiarchal doctrine! And human extinction!? Mankind is at its strongest it has ever been! Trillions upon trillions thrive in the uncountable worlds of the imperium of man. Holy Terra alone is host to several hundred billion." Something really wasn't adding up now, and it was bothering Stern. An idea occurred to him. He forced himself to calm down, and stated "Another question. This one is to all of you. What do you believe the year to be?"
