[Viridi has learned her lesson.

...Well no she hasn't she never does, but she can at least recognize the fact that the people here were too stupid to be expected to understand why gods needed to communicate the way they did.  Or how, exactly, this sort of communication worked. 

The telepathic broadcast is once again aimed to everyone within the city.  Instead of ringing directly in the ears of the unwashed masses, though, it seems to be reverberating from their communications devices instead.  There's an oddly echoing quality to it, and they'll find that her voice is impossible to shut off through the COMP, but hey.  She tried.]


So.

You've all been busy.  Paying visits to the mysterious 'Velvet Room', huh?

I couldn't help but notice that you're all practically lining up out the door to do favors for some strangers you don't know from Adam.  I'd call it altruistic, but we all know you're just hoping to get some shiny trinkets out of it.  A new weapon here, a better Persona there...  Call me crazy, but it's almost like you're making offerings in the hopes of receiving a blessing from some higher power you're pretty sure is benevolent.  Isn't it weird how familiar that sounds?  And you know, come to think of it, I could use a spare hand for some fetch quests, too.  Since you're all just so eager to be helpful, I'm sure you have time to spare.

Of course, I don't need anyone's faith, but a few favors here and there might just mean some handy-dandy divine intervention in your future.  I'm a goddess of my word.

You can even ask Pit!  My Treasure Hunt board had the ideal balance of difficulty to reward.  Palutena's was the lamest thing ever and Hades basically made his for sadists.  So act fast!  Once I've got what I want, you're just plain old out of luck.

Astartes do not feel the bonds of love. We gave it up to better serve mankind.

No, we choose to become immortal warriors so that mankind itself will always exist. And we do reproduce, in a way. Every Astartes produces gene-seed that can be implanted into aspirants at the proper time, creating a new Astartes. We are protectors, so the rest of humanity can get on with the task of living in the galaxy and becoming ever more advanced, happy and closer to understanding the basic truths of the universe.

We are not alien! [ OKay, maybe some of their genetics are from like, various earth animals, but no xenos! ]

Our aspirants choose this honor, we are not parasites. [ As for the steroid part that's like super weak stuff compared to all the combat drugs raging through his body at any point on the day when he's angry, like now. ]

Many call us monsters, or inhuman, but we sacrifice all that we are, all that we could be, for the destiny of humanity. We are no more monstrous than the galaxy which requires our existence, full of Orks, Eldar, and other... foul beings.

Astartes take no lovers at all. There is nothing erotic in what we do whatsoever.

[ Which doesn't stop women from falling in love with them. ]

We give it up, and have only the brotherhood of the Legion. That is all we need. Any other connections are forbidden to us.

No. Such thoughts don't even occur to us. We live to serve humanity, in war or peace.

What are you babbling about?

You seem remarkably unserious for a god. At least you aren't demanding I worship you.

Humanity in my time no longer believes in gods. We cast them down.

You mistake belief for worship.

We have paid our dues. For thousands of years we were preyed upon by the other sentient races of the Galaxy. No longer. We simply are taking hold of the destiny that is ours.

I was there for those battles. I saw what we were reclaiming the galaxy from.
