Quotes

  • "The hammer that shatters that which is glass... tempers that which is steel." - Emsat Stenberg
  • "It was good enough for the martyrs and it's good enough for me." - Lord-Captain Macharius Malvoisin
  • "Their faith is clear enough that I knew he was of the cloth before being introduced. I was not disappointed when I was. He will be an asset to the Fleet I have no doubt." - Azrael Schwarzekappel
  • "Finally! Some good, old-fashioned, fire and brimstone preaching. I like this man already." - Rusev
  • "Seems like a proper "psalms and bayonets type" Preacher. Good" - Cartwright
  • "Quiet, at least to me. I did notice him listening into one of my conversations with the other preacher. I suspect I will not enjoy the silence forever." - Ed'wari
  • "I did not realise I missed that kind of certainty. When he spoke during the memorial, for a little while, I forgot how complicated everything is out here. It was nice." - Rafi
  • "A fine Orator. He will make a fine addition to the fleet. We will have need of such a man in future" - Arkady Borovich
  • "Refreshingly a man of pure faith. I am interested to see how long that it lasts." - Maximillion
  • "It is good that such a man is here. It was... weird, to hear him compliment my ceremony, though. I never expect more than tolerance from the mainstream Ecclesiarchy for the kindsa ways and means we have in the Drifter Fleet. But I guess out here shit is so far down the other end of the scale that where I am and where he is looks pretty close together." - Spider
