When the Legions went out into the galaxy to reclaim humanity's lost birthright amongst the stars, we brought remembrancers with us. They included composers, playwrights, sequential artists, sculptors, painters, imagists, documentarists, and poets.
They were a nuisance, at times. Constantly watching over us and getting in our way as we brought world after world to compliance. They got into brawls with the Imperial army, annoyed our commanders, and generally stuck their noses where they liked. Some cast them out of their fleets, sent them home in disgrace.
We Luna Wolves did not. Horus wanted the home systems to know the glory of our undertakings, and as such three of the remembrancers were directed to me. The Poet, Ignace Karkasy, the Documentarist Mersadie Oliton, and the imagist Euphrati Keeler.
In time, I befriended all three of them. Mersadie became my personal documentarist, Ignace became the man I went to for unvarnished truth about everything, until his death, and Euphrati and I were close friends after i saved her from a Daemon that had possessed my suboordinate in the 10th company. I was her protector, and she called me an Angel of the Emperor.
And when I befriended these remembrancers, our coverage and the understanding of those who were with us changed. People understood more of what we were undertaking, and why we did it.
I think it would be wise for you to get to know the people writing this about you, and you may be able to.... control the coverage you are getting to a degree. They will perceive you as the Holy Maiden of Aqua, rather than as... well, the way they perceived you in the initial article. You will be a person and a symbol, not simply an objectified... thing.
