"Evolution is at work here, but just what is evolving remains to be seen."
"A reckless enthusiasm for massive firepower"
"Grow strong. Grow strange. Grow crooked."

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
I craved the strength and certainty of steel.
I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.
Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you.
One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…
Even in death I serve the Omnissiah."

"In blood-black nothingness began to spin
A system of cells
interlinked within cells
interlinked within cells
interlinked within one stem.
And dreadfully distinct against the dark,
a tall white fountain played."

"Can you feel your heart burning?
Can you feel the struggle within?
The fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make.
You cannot kill me in a way that matters."
