[It's Naze's usual raspy voice chiming in over the phone, chiming in during the late afternoon now that people have seen what's going on]Interesting. So the town thinks we'll be satisfied with these kinds of replacements? They're honestly disgusting... but at least more convincing than the usual drones. I'm curious as to what makes them

Naze. I don't understand this at -all-. Lord Sanguinius has been fooled by the sorcery of this town and.... lost himself. I think it might well be a mercy for you to destroy this simulacrum.

Oh, was he on the list? [There's the sound of paper as she scans down the names she jotted] Ah, here he is... from what I've seen though, they retain much of their usual strengths... I'm going to need help dealing with him.

This seems heretical, but I may have to be the one helping you.

You are probably one of the best equipped to.

Does he have any kinds of immunities to sedatives? Or rather, I'll be needing a list of the kind of things that can plausibly used to restrain him.

.... To be honest, there is virtually nothing. I'm not sure we can manage to stand against a primarch. I don't think even a full company of Astartes would have a chance. They are...

....

I can't properly explain it without using religious terms, but that is incorrect.

I see. Avoidance may be best then... I'm interested in studying these drones, but there are easier prey to catch. Perhaps we can find some common weakness in them without having to immediately confront Sanguinius's replacement.

A wise assessment. Do you have any ideas about who to target?

[notawhale]

I don't at the moment... not everyone has been nearly as forthcoming as you. Well, we always have the list of names, but I wanted to avoid stepping on anyone's toes, at least initially.

[lunawolves10th]

Hmmm. These aren't drones, not exactly. This is something new from the town, something we need to carefully observe.

[notawhale]

Observing was obviously my first priority... but it seems we have more than enough opportunities to observe them "in their natural habitat", so to speak. But there's only so much you can learn that way.
