Editing The ship moves (section)

==Part 3==
Let us ponder the Mysteries.

What is the God-Captain?
What is the Omnissiah?
What is the Imperium?
What are we, the people?
What is the Ship?

The God-Captain is neurally networked to the trillion trillion cogitators and servitors that permeate the length and breadth of the ship. One with the machine spirits, He is the Omnissiah. They are the mind and soul, and the body is the very decking beneath our feet. He is the Ship.

We, the masses of humanity, souls more numerous than the fabled stars, are the Imperium. And the Imperium is the Ship.

And so, the God-Captain, the Omnissiah, the people, and the Imperium are one, and are the Ship.

The Ship is all.

The ship moves.


The bad news is that that entire Section of Bilge Deck 1643 was jettisoned into space twelve years ago, due to a nearly complete infestation of fork-tongued bloodworms.

The only reason we can communicate at all is that even after all this time, that Section still hasn't cleared the length of the Ship. We estimate that it will go beyond sensor range in approximately twenty eight more years.

Its not terribly surprising you didn't know, there were several hives within that never received word.

Death by bloodworms is not pretty. I suggest facing them head on if you see them first. That way you die a nearly painless death.

Well, that's a lie. But you will die sooner.

This is Communion relay DU5573-A, signing out. May the Captain be with you.
