Hello!

  Due to the growing size of these Story Notes and for easy review, you'll find a copy of this batch of updates below.

  I'll continue to add info from newly posted Royal Road chapters as I can.

  "Verlin was trying to bribe me with tea," I say. "I might not even find the place even if he tells me of it!" (c0215)

  I barely restrain myself from grinning like a loon. Praise the Machine-God for my iron body. (c0215)

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  "Your obsession with the drink is a running joke in the Stellar Fleet. Of course, he would attempt to exploit your weakness. Will you still help him?" (c0215)

  "You know I will. You are aware of our debate on Verlin's status, yes? Much of it is resolved by your unplanned appearance, but I would still like to know your stance." (c0215)

  "I will give you the approximate location of Chorda regardless," says Lir. "Make Verlin the greatest champion that you can. While Canoness Ephrine and I clear out the Zombie Plague for you, I want you to overhaul our Dreadnoughts and their pilots. Let them walk among their brethren, free of pain." (c0215)

  "I'll see to it personally and provide backup Dreadnaught and Janus shells for Verlin and any other entombed marines so that none are beholden to me for repairs should we part ways." I hold out my hand, and we shake. (c0215)

  Verlin Tigernach, who is adapting well to being the company champion with his reconstructed body, is a fine example of my troublesome relationship with the Barghest Chapter. The body that I built for him myself consumed a considerable length of my time and resources. (c0253)

  The only benefit was that my efforts overlapped with the Dreadnaught recovery. Creating bio-pods that were compatible with Space Marine physiology and arcanotech bionics was as complex as one might expect. (c0253)

  One cannot stick a Space Marine's brain inside a jar, or cyberbrain as we've taken to calling them, then hook them up to artificial organs. We can do that with a standard Human brain, like the cloned brains we use for the servitors, but Space Marines have different hormonal and energy needs. (c0253)

  Fortunately, I was able to adapt much of the work I had done for myself as a navigator, such as hardening my systems against channelling Warp energy and the sorcerous requirements for Abhuman physiology, to meet the needs of a viable Space Marine cyberbrain and supporting bio-pod. (c0253)

  Once that was complete, hooking a Marine into a Servitor frame, then adapting the Dreadnaughts to the Servitors, let the Marines get in and out of the Dreadnaughts. The control systems of the Vanguard Armour became the cornerstone technology that enabled us. The Dreadnaughts even had the hookups for manual controls already installed as part of the original design, so it wasn't too challenging to install a proper cockpit. (c0253)

  Praise the Machine-God for the standardisation of components across the whole galaxy! (c0253)
