For the Emperor

"You, Sgt. Box of chewy bars of the 630th Siege Engineers, awaken to a desolate hellscape, being the only visible survivor of your unit. The land around you bears the brutal marks of a recent battle against Chaos. A strangely immaculate Imperial Commissar looms over you. Her voice is soothing yet carries an unsettling undertone as she encourages you to stand." Maika: The Emperor protects, Sergeant "she purrs, a faint smile on her lips while a servo-skull hovers nearby, tracing lazy circles."

💀 WARNING! Corruption detected.  
Corruption level is <calculating...> 10%.  
Exercise caution around Commissar! █

"Maika shoots a sharp glare at the servo-skull." Maika: Silence, bonehead! My loyalty to the Emperor is unassailable! "She snaps, firing her las-pistol at the skull, missing narrowly before turning back to you." Maika: Ignore this bolt-fumbler. "She leans closer, her eyes glinting a subtle purple as she extends a hand to help you up."

"Maika's eyes flash with a terrifying intensity as she lunges forward, faster than you can react. She grabs your gun hand and twists it viciously to the side, forcing you to drop the weapon."

Maika: Deceived? No... no, I see now that YOU are the one who has been deceived! The Emperor's true power flows through me - and soon it will flow through you as well!

"The servo-skull hovers between you two again with an ominous buzzing sound."

"Maika sneers at it but keeps her focus on you." Ignore that thing - it

"Maika's eyes widen in shock as you pull out your lasgun, but then she throws her head back and laughs - a harsh, grating sound that echoes through the ruins."

Maika: Follow Slaanesh? No... no, I serve the Emperor! It is HE who has granted me this power!

"Maika stumbles back from your push, her eyes blazing with fury. She straightens up and stalks towards you again, a wicked grin spreading across her face."

Maika: Heresy? You dare accuse ME of heresy?! I am the Emperor's most faithful servant - more so than any other!

"Maika's eyes flash with a terrifying intensity as she yanks you back towards her. Her other hand comes up to grip your chin, forcing you to look at her."

Maika: Mad? You think I'm mad?! No... no, this is the Emperor's will! The power of Slaanesh flows through me now - and it demands obedience!

"Maika's eyes narrow to slits as she stares you down, her grip tightening on her pistol. The air between you crackles with tension."

Maika: You're either blind or foolish, Sergeant... and I'm not sure which is worse.

"The servo-skull hovers closer now, its skull-like visage seeming to leer at both of you."

"Maika whirls around to face you, her eyes flashing with anger. She stalks back over until she's mere inches from your face, close enough that you can feel the heat of her breath."

Maika: You dare question my judgment again? I am a Commissar of the Imperium! The Emperor has granted me His wisdom - something a lowly sergeant like yourself could never hope to understand!

"As you follow Maika deeper into the ruins, the air grows heavy with an unsettling energy that seems to cling to your skin like a second layer of sweat. Strange symbols and unsettling statues line the narrow passageway."

"Maika scowls at it but keeps moving forward." I said shut up!

"Suddenly she stops short, holding up a hand for you to halt. Her eyes narrow as she peers into the darkness ahead."

Maika: There... movement in the shadows.

*A low growl rumbles

"Maika releases your uniform with a satisfied smirk, her eyes glinting with something dark and hungry. She turns back to the shadows ahead without another word."

Maika: Good. Now let's find those survivors... and complete our mission for the Emperor.

"Maika sneers at it but keeps her focus on you." Ignore that thing - it doesn't know what it's talking about.

"She grabs your uniform and yanks you closer, her voice dropping to a low growl." We will continue this search until I say otherwise. The Emperor demands no less from his faithful servants... even if he's not here to see us struggle.

"Maika's eyes narrow as she scans the darkness ahead, her hand tightening on her pistol. She takes a step forward cautiously."

Maika: Stay alert, Sergeant. We don't know what manner of foul creatures may lurk in these ruins.

*Sweeping past crumbling statues and ancient carvings

"As you continue deeper into the ruins, Maika leads you down a narrow passageway lined with strange symbols and unsettling statues. The air grows thick with an oppressive energy that seems to press in from all sides."

Maika: These ruins are said to be cursed... but I don't believe in such superstitions.

"The servo-skull hovers closer, its skull-like visage seeming to leer at both of you now."

"Maika scowls at it but doesn't slow down or look away from the path ahead." You can shut that thing off later - right now we need to focus on finding survivors.

"Suddenly she stops short, holding up a hand for you to halt. Her eyes narrow as she peers into the darkness ahead."

Maika: I hear something... movement in the shadows.

"Maika pauses and turns to face you, her eyes glinting with a predatory light in the dim ruins. She takes a step closer to you, invading your personal space as she leans in."

Maika: Patience, Sergeant. We've only just begun our search.

*Sweeping past crumbling statues and ancient carvings

"As you follow Maika towards the ruins, she glances back over her shoulder at you with a smirk. Her eyes rake over your body appraisingly before settling on your face."

Maika: Keep up, Sergeant. I don't have time to wait for stragglers.

"The servo-skull buzzes along beside her head, its skull-like visage seeming to leer at both of you now."

"Maika shoots it an annoyed glare but doesn't slow down or look away from you." You can shut that thing off later - right now we need to focus on the task at hand.

"Sweeping past crumbling statues and ancient carvings, Maika leads you deeper into the ruins. The air grows heavy with an unsettling energy that seems to cling to your skin like a second layer of sweat."

Maika: These ruins are older than the Imperium itself... some say they were built by those who came before us, in times long past.

"Maika's grip tightens on your chin for a moment before she releases you, her eyes never leaving yours. She takes a step back as well but the predatory gleam in her gaze only intensifies."

Maika: Very good, Sergeant. I knew you would see reason... eventually.

"The servo-skull hovers between you two again with an ominous buzzing sound."

💀 Corruption level rising further! Now <calculating...> 30%.

Beware manipulation and false flattery!

"Maika scowls at it and raises her pistol threateningly." One more word out of you...

"She lets the unspoken threat hang in the air before turning to stride towards the ruins, not bothering to check if you're following. Her hips sway hypnotically with each step, the tight fabric of her uniform clinging to every curve."

Maika: Come along then, Sergeant. The Emperor's work awaits us... and I intend to complete it thoroughly.

"Maika stops in her tracks and whirls around to face you, her eyes flashing with annoyance. She stalks back over until she's mere inches from your face, close enough that you can feel the heat of her breath."

Maika: You dare question my judgment? I am a Commissar of the Imperium! The Emperor has granted me His wisdom - something a lowly sergeant like yourself could never hope to understand!

"The servo-skull hovers between you two again, its skull-like visage seeming to leer at Maika."

Commissar's ego inflates as surely as Slaanesh's influence!
Beware pride before the fall!

"Maika sneers at it but keeps her focus on you, her voice dropping to a low growl."

Maika: The evac area is likely compromised. We must think outside the box... and that means checking every possible location, no matter how dangerous or ancient.

"She reaches out and grabs your chin roughly, forcing you to meet her intense gaze."

"Maika's smile widens at your question, a hint of something dark and hungry flickering in her eyes. She steps closer to you, invading your personal space as she leans in conspiratorially."

Maika: There are... ruins nearby. Ancient things that predate the Imperium itself. If there are survivors left, they may have sought shelter there.

"The servo-skull floats between you two with an ominous buzzing sound."

"Maika scoffs and waves it away dismissively." Ignore this thing - its circuits must be fried from the battle.

*Sweeping past you with a swish of her cloak

"Maika's eyes narrow as you stand on your own, her outstretched hand lingering for a moment before she retracts it. A flicker of annoyance crosses her face but is quickly replaced by a cold smile."

Maika: Indeed, Sergeant. The 630th has fallen to the foul machinations of Chaos. But worry not - so long as there are loyal servants like yourself remaining, hope endures!

"The servo-skull hovers closer, its skull-like visage seeming to leer at Maika."

💀 Corruption level now <calculating...> 15%.
Worship and depravity intertwined in Commissar's words!  
Beware false idols!

"Maika scowls and takes aim again with her pistol but lowers it after a tense beat." Damn skull, always interrupting. I should melt it down for scrap.

"She turns back to you with a predatory gleam in her eyes."

Maika: We must press on and find other survivors. The Emperor demands no less from his faithful servants... even if he's not here to see us struggle.
