    With the level of shenanigans a creation of Fabius Bile can pull, the degree of caution shown by the Doom Eagle leadership is completely justified. That knowledge doesn't stop the reader from feeling deep frustration about it though. The final vindication of a loyal man felt good, especially considering how rare such stories are in 40k.

      What choice did they have? A monster in their midst can do so much damage to a chapter. The 40k universe's grim darkness doesn't come from a beurocratic xenophobic imperium, or a nightmarish gaping maw traveling the stars, nor does it come from a race of murderous fungi or blue space communists. It comes from knowing that the most horrible things have become common place and simple out of true and painful necessity. And these things have been as such for so long, humanity has become so very inhumane in it's need to survive.
