And it looks like I was mistaken, need a post from the Imperial Guard before I can continue the whole girl from a metal coffin with the embodiment of a middle schooler's emotions and thoughts, a vampire, and a nature goddess scene.

... That is a weird situation.

For now I'm still trying to decide Kiyomi's entrance. I have an option with the whole giant thing's stomach but apparently that's in the Warp? I'm kind of hesitant to put her there given what I know about the Warp.

I know a lot about the Warp and I hopped in anyways. You gotta go balls out.

By that, he means the Warp is a fucking miserable place that will drive you insane at a glance and is full to bursting with nightmarish representations of all forms of thought that reside on what little stable land it has. That is when you've got a gellar field. [i]Without[/i] a gellar field, the nightmarish representations come flooding into every facet of reality you were dumb enough to bring in with you. 

Have you watched Event Horizon? Well, that could basically be considered what used to happen when a ship went through the warp, circa 38,000 years ago. After the gruesome fall of an entire superpsychic civilization resulted in a yawning gap in reality leading directly into the Warp, things have gotten quite a bit more dire. Think "low tide as compared to hurricane" dire.

Within the Warp are things reasonably close to what you can call "islands", which basically just means that something big and nasty is powerful enough to generate its own subtle gellar field, enough to keep it from being torn apart. This can be giant mishmashes of ships lost to the Warp that range from Imperial cathedral-ships to Tyranid hive fleet clusters that constantly shifts and quakes under the reality-warping properties of the Warp; these are called Space Hulks, and even Space Marine Terminators (Space Marines who are so badass they can chew up other Space Marines) are hard-pressed to survive more than a few hours in them. In other, far more hostile cases, stability comes when some [i]hugely[/i] powerful daemon takes the reins and enforces their own will on the surrounding area. This is presumably what's happening with the Warpwhale: either it's a daemon powerful enough to become its own Warp-worthy vessel and prey on dimensional travelers, or it's a Space Hulk that's been horrifically warped by some horrifically powerful daemon of Nurgle, the Chaos God of despair, acceptance, disease, persistence, and corrosion.


Also, Bee, I loved that Gyo reference you tossed in. Guts wouldn't balk at eating rotten shark-flesh at all!
