    If I understood well (which could not be the case because English isn't my native language) the desacrated Emperor image is implied to be the artefact casting a curse on the people who take it, driving them into madness. However, in my headcanon, it's just the Emperor's wrath because he is pissed off than nobody tries to fix his portrait.

      The whole corpse thing and sound is a hallucination borne from whatever madness is afflicted on them by being on the roid.

      ​@@desperado3236 Might be some mental wave that it uses to deterr folk from being around it for too long, and if they remain too long around it, well, this happens.
      Then, (maybe) handful of scarabs go to the station, repair any sign of damage.
      Though honestly, it could be purely warp related. Chaos can force their ways into the material plane, but it is extremely taxing and difficult.
      Much easier to have someone "invite" them in/accept an invitation. In this case, it probably was the guy taking the picture, i.e. he accepts the "deal" that everything that happens here is outside the gaze of the emperor.
      See, as chaotic as the warp is, it is bound by lot of extremely restrictive "rules". Sure, those rules can be broken, but it tends to be very taxing on the warp native (though the amount of difficulty can correlate to how restrictive said rule is)
      Since this being that is "enticing" these people is only requiring a minor "agreement" my hypothesis is that someone made a deal/contract with a decently cunning deamon or warp entity to protect that asteroid.
      It was probably pretty win-win situation. The deamon keeps an eye on the place and makes sure it doesn't get tampered with too much, and it can eat all the unfortunate souls (that were around for too long) and their emotions as it wanted.
      That is my feeling about this at least. My hypothesis? It is probably a warp entity rather than a deamon bound to any of the factions.
      Unlike how the tabletop may paint things out, the deamons of the 4 factions merely take up a small piece of the river of souls.
      The most probable answer by my estimate? It is a dangerous necron artifact that an eldar of the old times (could be relatively recent, but I really doubt it) put up countermeasures for so no lesser species would mess with it.
      So an eldar of the old times likely either created or made a deal with a spirit of sorts to make sure to keep any unwanted folk away. Eldars would immediately notice the signs of their own kin and thus would avoid it, but the lesser species would be properly punished.
      How's that sound?

  • @TheOneTrueMar
    @TheOneTrueMar 7 месяцев назад +116

    I feel the horror vibes, but... I'm not exactly fan of the "no answers" style of storytelling. I don't need everything explained, but I do need at least something. In this story we read about a guy suffering from halucinations. At the end, the rest of his crew appears to suffer the same fate. But what has really happened? Was this an act of some strange creature? Cult? Just a mere halucination? The only thing we know that there is "something scary" and literally nothing more. I am ok with having questions after a story, but if the main conflict is with something we know literally nothing about... I feel like that is an cop out. Of course people are gonna have questions when you answer nothing. But making people ask questions while feeding them just the right amount of answers? Now that is art.
    However, the voice acting in this one was more than good enough to carry the whole story for me.

      I suppose it's a matter of personal taste, I really enjoy these kind of stories, the ones with literally nothing to work with, which in turn gives ample room to theorize and analyze each and every hint that were given. Each time I read or listen to one of these stories, especially in the 40K or Warhammer Fantasy setting, I mentally roleplay as an Inquisitor or Witch Hunter and try to explain it via in-universe info, then make overtly conservative conclusions (in this case, just a feral xenos creature gnawing on random bits in the facility, mixed with stress and fatigue from the miners, which caused them to hallucinate and give into madness) while at the same time prescribing overtly radical courses of follow-up action (in this case, termination of the mining crew as they have all been touched by madness, and are more than likely to all be heretics due to the discovery of the defaced picture).

    One thing I love about 40k is the horror element. It’s not your average kind of horror. It’s unique, different. Not like creepy, jump scare horror. But like body horror. What lengths humans will go to get that edge in war. The things they do to their bodies. As well as their souls. It’s like humanity tends to reflect its environment. And with all the different races and aliens and the horrors of war all reflect on what these humans become. I haven’t read any books yet, played any 40k games both video and tabletop. I became a warhammer fan through the fantasy setting. Specifically total war. But I always knew about 40k. Probably before I even knew about fantasy Warhammer, because my cousin was always obsessed with Warhammer 40k books. He had every book, and he knew I was into fantasy and sci fi like him and always urged me to get into it. Well lately I have been watching lore videos here and there, and like I said my favorite thing about these videos, is I know I’m going to be horrified by the end of it lol in a completely unique way too, I don’t know how to perfectly describe it

      I agree with a lot of what you said. It's the brutality of the universe that draws me to it. It's not horror like we think of typically, but a horror of grotesque and mutilation of the mind, body, and soul. The horrors are eldritch level gods and creatures, and absolutely, the universe reflects that onto itself, always adapting and one upping the last.
      So far, I've only played the Vermintides and Darktide, and I am currently trying to figure out where to start reading. It is so expansive that I really don't know where to start.

      1: if your interested in being chronological and stay in the time, then start with the first Horus Heresy book, Horus Rising. Its the very beginning of the Heresy during the end of the Great Crusade that made the Imperium. Keep in mind, be ready to commit, the Horus Heresy series is complete now, but it is HUGE and is over 60 books I believe.
      If you dont care about that and want some of the best writing to keep you going, the Eisenhorn and Ravenor series are excellent and follow Inquisitors, and has very good and ground level descriptions of how the Imperium is for ordinary people. For some huge action, Spear of the Emperor is a great modern Space Marine book.

If you want to survive a horror story, you need to have emotional intelligence and be able to be honest with the people around you if I was this guy I would probably have held a meeting and told people that I was compromised in some way and explained what happened and attempted to find some solution that would maintain the safety of myself and the crew

    small correction fluid on and inside of a person that is spontaneously exposed to space will boil not freeze. Temperature is the speed of the particles making something up move (vibrate in solids) in space there are basically no particles, so vacuum doesn't have a temperature, at least in the way we thing about it. People in space have problems with cooling down since all the heat our body produces is trapped inside of the spacesuit, with the only way to get rid of heat energy is radiating and that is quite weak at the temperature of the human body. NASA EVA suits have undergarments with tubes of water running around so that astronauts don't get heat stroke. Also we don't give up much radiation but the sun does. And if you have been up in the mountains on a sunny and calm winter day you know that temperature may be below freezing but in the sun it can be quiet hot I mean strip down to underwear(and get a horrid sun burn) hot. Same thing but even more of that once you don't have a few 100s of miles of atmosphere to stop most of the sun.

    • @themather1
      @themather1 7 месяцев назад +3

      It's not just a cooling problem, it's a balancing problem between heating and cooling. All matter radiates heat in the form of infrared light, and in space, that light just goes off into the void. If you're in the shade, you're constantly losing energy through thermal waste and getting basically zero back.
      The reason astronauts struggle with overheating is because their suit acts as an insulator; the warm inside reflecting the heat back while the cold outside radiates very little heat. But in direct exposure, space is frigid, it's just very slow to freeze you since there's no atmosphere to sap your heat, just your own ambient loss.

Out there in space, anything goes and it’s a real abominable crapshoot on how bad it is. Not whether something bad will happen, that’s already guaranteed, but the severity is the gamble. Right here, this is somewhere in between getting lost in space, and turned into a chaos entity. Not as bad as permanent plague zombification, but worse than weeks of lonely starvation drifting in the void

      I take it more as this. The Emporer is the head of humanity, the savior, and the reason to push on through the grim dark. Your entire life, you believe with all your being that the Emporer is watching over his flock.
      However, something truly horrific was happening here. Any who bore witness would surely question their faith, probably feeling alone and abandoned by their god king. Any image of him would soon become a falsehood, a liar, and a thief of belief. Somebody likely gouged the eyes in a last-ditch middle finger to the man that wouldn't save them.

    This reminds me of the Rimworld Anomaly DLC.
    There's a possible event known as "unnatural corpse"
    There's the chance to get an event where a corpse turns up at your colony. The corpse is that of one of your colonists, who is still alive. Its a perfect copy of them.
    Its warm and clammy to the touch. It causes the still living colonist to eventually go insane over a couple of weeks. In the last few days you have this sense of impending doom and horror, then it awakes. If you incinerate the corpse, throw it out, bury it, butcher it, launch it hundreds of kilometers away into the ocean or even feed it to your animals - it always returns. It teleports next to the victim whenever you aren't looking at it, always watching, driving them insane.
    There is a way to stop it from waking up, but its a race against time. Its basically a death clock for the unfortunate victim, before a horrible unstoppable fate in their mirror image inevitably barrels toward them at impossible speed.

    RUclips's video player gets worse by the day. I've paused the video but the audio keeps repeating that creepy knocking.

    I dont know why they dont use these storys to make movies they would be soo good they already have great writing,world building, and story telling. I really like this story too with all the creepy moments with the picture of the gman and the tapping not to mention the returning corpse coming back with the same injures and new ones was chilling.

    imma be honest... at first i thought, "this guy is a lil corney", but then realized how much time and effort you put into making me feel interested in the story compared to other content creators. Nothing against them, but you seem to really care about what you put out and I appreciate that. I have binge watched about 2-3 hours so far and I love it. You have gained a loyal subscriber sir!

      What the monster is isn't explained and it's up to you to come to your own conclusion on that. However, the twist is that throughout the story Alune Was the only one that could hear the knocking and the monster was terrorizing only him. After he died, we get a quick peek at two other characters that can suddenly hear it.
      What this insinuates is that this is exactly what happened to the previous crew. One by one they were picked off by this creature. In those final moments, we get to see that this process is repeating itself.

      @@weshammer it seems odd though that the entity seems obsessed with spacing its victims. since there was no obvious signs of death on the rig more than likely they all did what alune did and wernt killed through "accidents" like hydrogen bubbles. it sounds a lot like vengeful river ghosts from china that wernt given a proper funeral and thus drag others down with them. maybe the original heretic that cut the eyes out made a beacon with the sacrifice to not even a warp entity but some formless void creature thinking they would be rewarded but well just ended up like the rest
