The description here confuses the hell out of me like i know this is the Blood Games and Custodes already have unlimited authority, but what's this about bribing a tech priest and taking control of a battlefleet solar ship, like are those ppl involved not going to be killed for helping with this training exercise??

I must say the author of the codex fluff story has managed the impossible: they managed not only the first canon appearance of a female custodes, but she also is a fan-favourite now.

#i very much always assumed it was just the custodes on their own like congrats we'll dump you outside the solar system find a way in #oh you have to kill the emperor? good luck stowing away on a ship and stealthing the year long journey from pluto to terra orbit #then the multi-month process of orbit to surface #surface to palace #palace to throne room #throne room to Stab #like i thought the entire point was stopping assassins the idea of any custodes being able to yoink ships and personnel for this bugs me #also the fact that the only thing preventing shit from teleporting into the throne room is some secret code?? hello??#do void shields mean nothing to you??#unironically i think this does the first female custodes a disservice bc this plan is dumb as hell #like it should not have been a viable plan at all and the story makes it seem like the only reason she failed was a counter teleport strike #you mean to tell me the only thing stopping someone from teleporting a pipe bomb to the emperor's lap is bc they don't have a passcode?#something that has nothing to do with teleport technology??#if you needed a passcode to teleport somewhere then why in hell can you teleport board enemy ships??#tl;dr i like the female custodian but dear god could someone smarter have written the setup or elaborated on wtf happens to the ppl who hel #like hi congratulations Entire Ship Crew! You followed the custodian's orders! And endangered the Emperor's life!!!#thank you for your service now we're liquidating all of you for your hard work <3 <3 <3
