Trying to parse exactly what the ramifications of these options and the goal of this experiment is. Is this akin to trying to make the Lanterns bound to the Emperor like the Grey Knights? Who is being affected, just the Lanterns or would option#2 push for the entire legion.
If proto-grey knights are the goal, QM, is there a chance we can still achieve Null-Grey Knights (the Ferrymen) like in canon? I want to make sure we aren't locking anything out and that I understand the options correctly.
>>5482454I think rather than weep, we should praise our sons and see them off with pride. They shouldn't see a father crying for them, but proud of them and their sacrifice, for that is what all space marines desire. We also should offer those who wish a prayer, a small sermon or a tech-confession in our capacity as their spiritual father as well, so they know not only we and the Emperor but the Machine God watches over their souls.
We should still hug them though.
