Quotes

• "He may look more machine than man, but he is 100% crotchety old grandpa in his heart." - Maximillion
• "I remember Karchev when I was a boy. He is still the same grumpy old bastard. He is like old Chernobog autogun. Is heavy. Is ugly. Always always works when you need. If you have no ammo left it makes a really good club." * -Arkady Borovich
• "Karchev is as tough as an old boot and about as friendly. Dependable, though, which I guess is another quality of an old boot." - Mac
• "Karchev has been around for very long time, toughest man I know, and I know Arkady. I think he'll see the next generation too." - Rusev
• He might be made of metal, but he has been very kind to me. He has lots of things he knows to share. His hand is weird though." - Skyfall
• "Fellow seems to weigh a ton, nearly gave myself a hernia trying to treat him. That being said, pound for pound, he is better than most Cogboys I have met, that grumpiness of his makes him more human and, oddly enough, more likable" - Cartwright
• "I can see what he has given up to get this far. Few wear their sacrifices so openly." - Friedrich Sternenlicht
• "He says he'll fix up an archaeotech jetbike for me so I can race Ed'wari. Now all I have to do is find an archaeotech jetbike!" - Artemisia Minerva Tabbris Blair
• "Seeing Karchev's face when I told him about the STC made it all worth it." - Rusev
• "Is very convenient to perform brain surgery on as portions of their cranium are removable. Not a standard issue tech-priest but suitably agreeable" - Oberarzt Azrael Schwarzekappel
• "He seems to sincerely love his family. More than all the metal he has placed into his body, this, I think, is what makes him so very strong." - Thunder
• " Frustrating. Rude. Dedicated. Loyal. I hope the Borovitch dynasty miss him when he is little more than a servitor." - Ed'wari
• "Still unsure, if he knows or not. Still can't trust him. Annoyingly... I want to." - Araquiel
• "He is a bit inflexible. I hope that the metal in his body does not cause him to snap rather than bend." - Maximillion
• "A sterling example and a reminder of why I am here." - Friedrich Sternenlicht
• "I admire your clarity of purpose, your hatred. But these things blinker you and one day that shall be your undoing." - Ambrose Cordell Tollman
• "He sought to redeem a fellow Magos even as a star was dying and worlds hung in the balance. That is more than dogma; that is true faith." - Thunder
• "The old man still functions after all that. Opa!" - Rusev
• "Terrible jokes." - Alexandra Euphemia Blake
• "I only wish others were as staunch in their faith as he is." - Cartwright
• "Strong of faith and true of purpose. Likable for a cog boy. Some would call him grumpy; he just reminds me of my drill sergeant - which is a compliment, in case you are wondering." - Surgeon Azrael Schwarzekappel
• "While crotchety for a tech priest and a somewhat cantankerous nature, he's still a good man to have in case of tech problems. Damn good with that axe as well." - Decius Crane
• "Who doesn't like a grumpy old man that will let you get away with anything?" - Stacy
• "I must admit I found his absence from this landing disquieting." - Azrael Schwarzekappel
• "Honestly he's the one I'm most afraid of, yet trust the most to be himself. His bluntness is refreshing." - Anahita
• "To see him back on a landing was reassuring. A person with a proper perspective on things; that is worthy of trust." - Azrael Schwarzekappel
• "He is too intelligent to not know that others display as much time for him as he does for them. Which is a shame - but his call to make, and to respect." - Stenberg
• "It may have been nice to change his mind, but the last laugh I will enjoy is that he is no doubt confined to his room right now." - Ed'wari
• "He told me we were made of different metal. True enough." - Mac
• "It's. SQUARE." - Rafi
• "Do not fuck with him. I'm serious. I'll get annoyed." - Stacy
• "Fotosinfisis, fuck stick!" - Wruturd
• "He's a grumpy old man and I don't appreciate some of his words about Artemisia - but I can't deny he makes excellent limbs." - Alexandra Euphemia Blake
• "...It...was kind of.....nice...in a weird way...to offer to servitor Cecilia just because Rommy had said he'd prefer her not dead, but I suspect that was less to be nice to me and more something has to be done about the insult given to the Babushkas." - Artemisia Minerva Tabbris Blair
• "If people were betting on which of us was going to call the other an incurable optimist, they would have lost their shirts." - Mac
• "He does have tendacy to stir up discourse, but I expect either a discount or at least a loyalty scheme for all the business I give him." - Sterling
• "Troubling, and reassuring at the same time. Which is itself both reassuring and troubling. And I know and am content with how "on the fence" that makes me." - Missionary Stenberg
• " Which sister are you going to kill? Oh, her. Yes, that's reasonable I suppose, but I'd rather you didn't." - Lord-Captain Romeles Uriel Corinthian Blair
• "His family love him deeply to the point of risking their own lives to save him. I wonder if there is enough man left to him to be able to fully appreciate that." - Azrael Schwarzekappel
• "Do you have any spare legs?" - Adelaide Mercy Blake
• "It is a shame he did not make planetfall. I'm sure he would have gotten on well with the new Magos and their outrage at how Slate treats his powerarmour." - Oberarzt Azrael Schwarzekappel
• "I hope that you do have feelings over what is happening to you, this thing that you did not ask for - and that you are sharing them with someone." - Archbishop Stenberg
• "My favourite robot granddad." - Stacy
• "He's been needed out here; saved all of us a time or two, whether he bitches about it or not. But perhaps it's true -- perhaps he would have been happier elsewhere." - Mac
• "His puritanical voice will be surely missed on this expedition. Though his views on the God Emperor I questioned, his views on Xenos scum were without question." - Sterling
• "One Brother less. I'm glad he trusted me, and I hope I deserved it" - Evangeline

Pp

• "He died. He formerly lived. He acted always in line with his beliefs. I would expect him to say the same of me if I died. Like or dislike was irrelevant- we both fulfill our functions to the best of our ability." - Friedrich Sternenlicht
• "I will not lie and say we were friends or even liked each other. They will however be missed, sometimes you need someone to take the hard line." - Maximillion
• "I think my friend, that in the end you had become outpaced by ideological developments. The essence of life beyond the line is compromise. Yet you managed to live a life without compromise. In the end, for all that this expedition might achieve, there will be few who can say that." - Ambrose Cordell Tollman
