"Now, looking at the stars again, a part of him remembered how it had been before, when the galaxy was laid out before them, largely unknown, a haunt of xenos and the forgotten treasures of the past. That was where he belonged. That was where they, the Astartes, had always belonged. To be confined was to slowly kill them, and so much of the withering of his soul, he realised suddenly, was down to that alone." — Jan 03, 2026 12:12PM

"«Li ha sentiti?» chiese Reacher. «Quando?» «Sempre», sussurrò. «Fanno sempre piani, Borken e i suoi. Le donne e i bambini devono morire, dicono. Ci costringeranno a suicidarci, in massa: le nostre famiglie, i nostri figli. Alle cave. Credo che abbiano intenzione di portarci alle cave e di obbligarci a toglierci la vita.»" — Dec 30, 2025 11:32AM
