"Guilliman spoke once more, detailing more of his long-gestated plans. There would be no delay now – the ships were already waiting, and as soon as they were provisioned the assault would begin. For the first time since the days of the Crusade itself, the Imperium would be launching a true offensive. The long retreat was over, and the reconquest would soon begin." — Dec 31, 2025 04:17PM

"«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
