[[File:Nun n' Gun.jpg|300px|right|thumb|What? U MAD [[Space Marine|SPESS MAHREEN?]] ]]'''Sisters of Battle''' are essentially [[Warhammer 40k]]'s female equivalent of [[Space Marines]], warriors devoted to the [[God-Emperor_of_Mankind|Emprah]]. Although they lack the genetic modification of their beefier brethren, they also wear [[power armour]] and are armed mainly with the ubiquitous [[Bolter]] and [[Chainsword]]. The Sisters of Battle are also known as the "Daughters of the Emperor", and officially as the "Adepta Sororitas", though the Adepta Sororitas refers to their entire organization, while the term Sisters of Battle refers only to their militant branch. They are more colloquially known by players as "Bolter-bitches" or "Nuns with guns" almost always resulting in a awkward boner. They are ''not'' to be confused with [[Female Space Marines]].


==Overview==
[[File:Lusty Marine.png|300px|right]]
The Sisters of Battle are part of the [[Ecclesiarchy]], the religious arm of Imperial government, and sometimes work with the [[Inquisition]]'s [[Witch Hunters]]. They have somewhat of an obsession with the purifying effects of flame, and generally choose equipment that allows them to cover heretics with as much holy promethium and thermal lances as possible. This philosophy is most obviously exemplified by the Immolator tank, essentially a rolling [[METAL BOXES|steel crate]] with giant flamethrowers or multi-meltas stuck on it. They also have the [[Exorcist]], a mobile pipe organ that shoots missiles. Less accurate than the Whirlwind Missile Launcher or any Imperial Guard artillery, but who cares, the thought of pipe organs launching missiles while playing epic Cathedral music complete with Latin is fuckawesome, dammit. 

The Sisters may or may not be flaming lesbians (''Insert Rimshot Here'').

[[File:Ordersmilitant.jpg|200px|thumb|left|An overview of the six main Orders. Sadly brief, but characterful.]]

There are six main Orders. All minor Orders are desended from one of these.

* Sacred Rose: cool, calm and collected. The most tactical Sisters. Enjoy gunning their foes down in a more disciplined manner. If they were to get their own rules, their Rets would have slow and purposeful.

* Ebon Chalice: the vanilla Order. These Sisters haven't changed a whole lot since they were first created, preferring to stick to their tried and tested methods.

* Argent Shroud: the Lawful Goods. Are a rarity among Imperial factions, in that they are described as being famous for selfless heroism, as well as altruism. For this reason, /tg/ likes to fluff them as noble space Paladins and bros to the [[Salamanders]].

* Bloody Rose: aggressive as fuck. Aim to kill off their enemies as quickly as possible, as they see no reason to let the heretic live any longer than necessary.

* Martyred Lady: the postergirl Order, depicted in most mainstream portrayals of the Sisters. This has led to many people thinking that all Sisters have white hair, when it is in fact seemingly only this Order that does it. The Order itself is reputed as being determined even for SoBs, which is saying something. Will not stop until their enemies are utterly destroyed.

* Valorous Heart: Repent! These Sisters feel the guiltiest about that whole [[Age of Apostasy]] thing, and as a result have an excess of [[Sisters Repentia|Repentias]]. Likely on constant lookout for the slightest sign of weakeness in themselves or any allies serving alongside them.

==Sororitas Orders Non-Militant==
As mentioned in the opening, not all of the Adeptus Sororitas are actually Sisters of Battle. A number of Orders exist which officially serve non-combat-related roles in Imperial Society, although they tend to receive even less attention than their combat-fighting sisters. The largest source of info on these Sororitas thus-far is the ''Blood of Martyrs'' sourcebook for [[Dark Heresy]], which specifies the three most important Orders and mentions the existence of others, even lesser in nature. ''Blood of Martyrs'' even includes character classes for members of the three major Orders Non-Militant.

* Orders Dialogous: These Sororitas are dedicated to the studying of language, with tasks ranging from interpreting long-lost texts to accompanying Imperial diplomats on contact missions with intelligent xenos species. Thanks to their training, even the most average Sororitas knows several hundred everyday human dialects and dozents of scret cants, ciphers, even xenos tongues. Sororitas of these Orders are some of the few individuals judged worthy (and capable) of actually understanding the [[Eldar]] tongue.

* Orders Famulous: These Sororitas serve intimately with the upper echelons of Imperial society, acting as chamberlains, counselors and consuls to the nobility. Their focus is on the spiritual and genetic purity of the human race, so they concern themselves with not only seeing to the education of nobles, but also secretly arranging alliances and marriages, in hopes of preventing corruption and inbreeding from taking root. They are particularly involved in tracking the manifestation of saints, which makes them a popular ally for Thorian Inquisitors.

* Orders Hospitaller: Healers and medics, these Sororitas are amongst the most skilled and compassionate surgeons in the Imperium, meaning they are commonly found attached to the [[Imperial Guard]].

* Others: Scores, perhaps even hundreds, of minor non-militant Orders exist within the Adeptus Sororitas. ''Blood of Martyrs'' mentions the Orders Sabine (who infiltrate newly rediscovered worlds and prepare them for the Missionarius Galaxia) and Pronatus (guardians of sacred relics) as examples of more wide-spread Orders Non-Militant, and three "local" Orders in the forms of the Madriga (temple choirs), Planxilium (leading processionals on holy days) and Vespila (sanctifying the dead and forensic specialists).

==Sisters Snuff==
In 1997 when the Necrons were launched Games Workshop had them face the Sisters in a Battle report, which the Sisters lost. The results of this battle report then became the [[Sanctuary 101]] fluff. Games Workshop liked the result so much that they decided the Sisters of Battle should get slaughtered all the time. Unless they are falling to Chaos, obviously. It's notable that the Sisters of Battle tend to get killed and mutilated repeatedly when [[Matt Ward]] writes [[Heresy|fluff]], leading many to ask uncomfortable questions regarding Ward's [[Slaanesh|sexual]] [[/d/|deviancy]] that nobody really wants the [[FATAL|answers to]].

Please note that while [[Heresy|fa/tg/uys]] [[/d/|masturbate furiously]] to fanfics of Sisters engaging in bdsm fetish sex with the likes of other Lesbian sisters, servitors, children, Schola Progenium cadets or even the likes of [[Sister of Nurgle|Nurgle]], all of the below actually, '''canonically''' ''fucking happened''. It should also be worth noting that they're getting stomped by their own fucking allies in most of these.

[[File:Warhammer_40k_sisters_of_battle_adeptas_sororitas_battling_Dark_Eldar.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Heroic Lesbian Space Nuns + Evil BDSM Space Elves = [[Faptau|YEAH!]]]]
Some highlights include:
* Some of a Dialogus Order and some Battle Sisters turned to Chaos by a [[Slaanesh|Slaaneshi]] Keeper of Secrets.
* A whole Order Mind Controlled by one chaos Psyker. Fucking [[C.S.Goto|Goto]].
* Another whole Order Mind Controlled by one chaos Psyker. Why, [[Sandy Mitchell|Sandy]], why?  ''To be fair, it wasn't just them; the guy mind-controlled even: a commissar, entire planets of guardsmen and PDF troopers...''
* A strike force of Celestians and an Inquisitor being killed, cannibalized, and sacrificed by the Sons of Malice Astartes chapter for disturbing their victory rites and falsely accusing the chapter of heresy.
* A whole shrine-world of Sisters killed by Chaos Dreadnought. Said dread shrugs off meltas, meltabombs and multiple Exorcist volleys, a Living Saint even gives up her divinity to stop it, and fails. It's destroyed instantly when a Marine throws a hammer at it. ''We are not making this shit up''.- ++Hell Brute, not a dreadnought++
* An entire Order of Sisters of the Order of the Sacred Rose dying and ultimately destroying their base and everyone in it, who were sent to the Kaurava Campaign and killed by [[Vance Motherfucking Stubbs]] after they refused to fuck off. Unlike the majority of the entries on this list, the Sisters led a valiant defense action, crippling the Imperial Guard forces for weeks and hamstringing the Imperium's campaign to reclaim the worlds of the Kaurava system. Also, unlike the others on this list, the Sisters were the aggressors. So this doesn't really count as much.  Besides which, nearly destroying any hope of the Imperium reclaiming the system could be considered treason and heresy anyway.  Also, some of them had to figure that, if even their Living Saint's inviolable aura (invincibility, seriously) couldn't save them from being defeated by the Guard, then ''maybe'' the Emperor is with the Guard and ''not'' the Sisters.
* A detachment of Sisters killed by [[Grey Knights]], [[Khornate Knights|their bodies sliced open and their blood applied to the Grey Knights' armor, so the Grey Knights can be immune to the Bloodtide's effects (though some of the Sisters were immune with faith alone, make of that what you will).]]
** The Bloodtide was retconned in the most recent Grey Knights Codex to not explicitly mention said armor-paint incident, but they do instead job to a daemon horde after buckling at the sight of Kaldor Titanfucking Draigo.  At least they went down fighting this time, but jobbing's still jobbing.
* In another instance of Grey Knight-on-Sororita violence, during the climax of the first novel of the Grey Knight series, a detachment of Sisters led by Cannoness Ludmilla are tricked by a Chaos-turned Inquisitor into thinking that the Grey Knight's pursuing him are Chaos Space Marines. Later (As in a few pages later), said detachment gets nearly kamikaze'd by said Grey Knight Strike Cruiser. (which itself was shot down by Imperial Navy ships fooled into thinking that it was Chaos-starting to see a pattern here?)Surprisingly, the only dude's that die from the crash are Imperial Guard and PDF-the Sisters survive but only to get the ever-Emprah-lovin' shit beaten out of them by the surviving Grey Knights (The sisters pull no punches however and do manage to take out a few of Alaric's squadmates, so power to them). BUT WAIT. Seeing as this was written by a much more competent author, unlike the ambiguous piece of shite-fluff written by a certain [[Matt Ward|spiritual liege]] both sides figure out that this was part of an elaborate case of [[JUST AS PLANNED]], they stop fighting (And even more shocking was the fact that the person who ended it was Cannoness Ludmilla after noticing the FUCKHUEG books bolted on the GK's mighty pauldrons) and team up to take down the Big Baddy.

==The Sudden Yet Inevitable Betrayal==
[[File:Sister_Hmph.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The reaction of Sisters and SoB players everywhere to the codex update.]]
{{MattWard}}
As of August 1, 2011 it seems [[Games Workshop]] finally decided to attempt to "revamp" the Sisters of Battle, much to the aggravation of about two thirds of the Witch Hunters' remaining playerbase. It's by no means a horrible update; initial worries on /tg/ suggested it to be akin to a biblical plague in terms of disaster-level, when in truth it's simply [[Tyranid|sub-average]]. The Codex Update had its fluff written by [[Matt Ward|your SPIRITUAL LIEGE]], which shocked and confused /tg/ as it wasn't full of [[Khornate Knights|misogynist bullshit]]. In spite of this, it's squarely in-level with another [[Tyranids|bad codex update]], because the rules were clearly written by committee.

For starters, gone are the various special characters that got gobbled up by the [[Grey Knights]] codex update, like Inquisitor Valeria. The Sisters have many of their own special characters now, but a lot of the classics, like Lord Krazypantzoff, are gone now since they're now part of the Grey Knights army list. Immolators took a nasty nerf-bat to the face (they can't fire on the move and have no firepoints now, which makes them basically more-cost-effective [[Razorback Transport]]s). Who would have thought that Games Workshop would update an army by [[Carnifex|nerfing the one model every player had a couple of so that they all have to go out and buy new models]]?  

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers are gone as well, and Faith is now randomized, which means that it's much harder to manage in big games. Faith is now, functionally, a game of roulette, with randomized dice rolls deciding how much (if anything at all) you get. Sisters now all have very specific faith powers on a by-squad basis now, and whilst several are powerful, others are meh at best. 
[[Image:Repressor.jpg|right|thumb|Heavy armor in an update? We fucking ''wish''.]] Whereas before you had a nice general army that could use faith points to adapt to different situations, in the new system you have mostly weaker powers that are unreliable. Powers that most other units for similar points get permanently.

Sadly, things were muddled by a spree of fake releases as part of an [[Troll|April Fool's Prank]]. Original reports of genuinely useful units to offset the loss of the Stormtroopers and inducted forces thus turned out to be false. As of thus far, there's been no reports of new units - so in other words, about a third of the Sisters' armory is now gone without being replaced by anything. The new special characters reportedly are nothing worth getting excited over. (The knights feel your pain now.)

The Sisters carry over a number of Grey Knight units as well, including Death-Cult Assassins, Arco-Flagellants, and Crusaders. There was talk of a new heavy transport/assault vehicle called the Repressor (see image above), but it turned out to be part of the same fucking April Fool's Prank and is still Forgeworld-only (which sucks because it would be an improvement). Sisters Repentia were originally purportedly nerfed, but in the end the Repentia now are ''vastly'' better, boasting a 6++ invulnerable save, Fleet, and double their original number of attacks with a faith act to do more on death - meaning they stand a good chance of fucking up a lot of units they wouldn't before now... So ''now'' instead of paying ridiculous prices for a sick joke, you're just paying ridiculous prices for a suicide squad. At least they'll rape shit while they're there now. ''Progress''!
The funniest thing is that you have 5 different types of independent characters that boosts the unit they joins assault skills...And even with all the buffs added to the best assault unit in the army you would still be hard pressed to defeat a space marine tactical squad in an assault.

The biggest kick in the cunt for the Sisters, aside from the obvious loss of utility units, was the loss of ally rules and inducted unit rules. One of the biggest advantages the Sisters had was the ability to, courtesy of the Ordo Hereticus, requisition allied forces. A time-honored method of getting around the relatively weak Sisters of Battle vehicular lineup was to take some Inducted Guardsmen for a Leman Russ or two, or Space Marines for a Predator. The loss of Inquisitors also came with the loss of [[Land Raider]]s as dedicated transports, which was another stab at their vehicular capabilities.

On the plus side, the fluff was <s>very clearly ''not'' written by [[Matt Ward|the blessed one]] either</s>  nope it would seem he did, since the Sisters in it are portrayed as completely badass, fighting off a Daemonic incursion by themselves without ever needing [[Khornate Knights|the Grey Knights to butcher them and turn them into armor paint]]. One can only imagine how the development meeting for this codex went - because most of /tg/ argues that it had to be hilarious. In fact, the best of Canonesses can now become Inquisitors, which means the best of canonesses now get, fluff wise to get psychic mastery levels and TERMINATOR ARMOR, which makes them even more badass than a Terminator Librarian and certainly a non-Sororitas Terminator Inquisitor, since neither of them have a free 6++ save or Acts of Faith. This is not, however, yet applicable to the rather new Inquisitorial Codex (but home-brew can definitely do it).

===The Eternal Vigil===
[[Image:Homelesssister.jpg|right|thumb|Come on guys, she's got sisters to feed.]]
While most members of /tg/ are violently, gleefully convinced the sisters are on their way to be squatted, a tiny contingent of the faithful keeps a candle burning, waiting for the day that their beloved bolter bitches will rise again ([[Finecast|tiny bubbles]] and all).

*'''0172008.M3:''' The Sisters are released as a playable faction in [[Dawn of War]]:Soulstorm. While it is poorly designed and built, it still drums up some enthusiasm for the Sisters. Many conflicted feels are had.
*'''0583011.M3:''' [[Matt Ward|The Destroyer]] and [[Robin Cruddace|The Cruddace]] release a playable [[White Dwarf]] codex for the sisters, hinting at a similar treatment to the Blood <s>Angels</s> heretics.
*'''0608012.M3:''' The sisters are retained for the 6E allies system and given a new flyer via [[Forge World]]. An unconfirmed leak shows a line up of new Sisters characters in development.
*'''0569013.M3:''' Faithful pilgrims supplicate themselves before the great and powerful [[Jervis Johnson]] asking for news on the Sisters. They are told that all armies are being worked on and there are no plans to discontinue support for the sisters. [[Phil Kelly|The Kelly]] adds that modeling issues prevented their release previously.
*'''0561113.M3:''' Rumors begin swirling about an official digital codex release for the Sisters. A leaked and subsequently confirmed White Dwarf advert later confirms this, and promises an updated version of the 5e codex. A later interview with [[Robin Cruddace|The Cruddace]] indicates that the codex will include tweaks to Faith and points cost, and that if it sells well enough it may get a physical release. The release date for the digital codex has been set at October 19th. Later comments on the GW Digital Editions facebook page confirms that it will have a Warlord Chart, Ecclesiarchy Relics and an Altar of War, in addition to some updates, new fluff and artwork and changes to faith and points costs. It appears that the Sisters prayers have been at least partially answered. A physical release however is still very much dependent on the sale of this eBook however.  Also during all this GW changes the name from Sisters of Battle to Adepta Sororitas most likely because it sounds cooler. The reactions are mixed when the Codex is released, with such changes like making all Acts of Faith usable only once, maximum twice, per battle and many buffs and nerfs around the board, leaving many arguing whatever the Sisters got better or majorly screwed.
*'''0999999.M3:''' Escalation is released, alongside Stronghold Assault. While Stronghold Assault slips by unnoticed, the Sisters of Battle receive no Lords of War choices in an otherwise controversial and poorly thought out expansion. It then falls to Forge World to release a downloadable sheet a few days later saying that Sisters armies can take Warhound & Reaver titans, as well as Marauder Bombers & Destroyers as Lords of War. The Sisters have yet to comment on how overkill these choices might be if they can ever deploy them.  The Reaver is at least far too expensive for normal games.

===Another theory for you optimistic types===
An optimistic hobby store employee hit me up with this theory: the Sisters have been out of focus not out of misogyny or the belief that female models don't sell, but because GeeDubs haven't been able to make quality plastic molds of Sisters until very recently (two prominent GW people, Jes Goodwin and Phil Kelly, have said as much anyway). While I admit this guy is a bit ''too'' merciful on GeeDubs, he has friends on the inside and claims to have witnessed firsthand several prototype sculpts of Sisters with veils on their faces. His personal theory is that GeeDubs has been saving up, and will give Sisters a fancy hardcover 7th ed codex in late 2015 or so once the plastic models are finished.

Also remember that fluff wise, the best of Sororitas Canonesses may ascend to be an Inquisitor if they so choose, and Inquisitors use Terminator armor. That means, (while this has yet to appear in the rulebooks) that they take their canoness statline, Acts of Faith and their 6++ save and gain a 2+ save, on top of having a psychic mastery level or two, and way better equipment than either the Marines or Sororitas have. Totally tradeable for And They Shall Know No Fear and +1 Toughness, since no Terminator either gets a 6++ save or Acts of Faith. 
This should be allowed, but it should have the points price, fully outfitted (as in psychic mastery level 3, Deny the Witch 3+, Armor is a 2+3++or a rerollable3+3++, psybolter rounds for the bolter/boltpistol or having an inferno pistol or two, a relic blade/artificer power sword/chainsword, crazy Inquisitor doo-hickeys) and the special included things like a free 6++ and Acts of Faith should cost about the points of an otherwise unupgraded Flyrant.
Maybe GW will do that? Maybe?

===New players start here===
As of the time of this writing the sisters of battle's are only marginally better supported then GW's old specialist games, at Least Bretonnia is all in plastic, but the sisters are all still in metal. In fact there range may be up to 90% of the models Game workshop sells that still are in metal and they are price accordingly  To build a single ten sister squad you need to get at least four of those and that's almost 60 dollars right there, not counting any special or heavy weapons you want to add. The sculpts them selves are also over 20 years old, thankfully however due to there unique nature and design most of the sister of battle models are still very good, but nether the less an update is badly needed. 

Until that happens however, any player looking to start a sister of battle army has a Unique problem, actually getting models for there army in a cost effective way, this is especially problematic for the sisters since they can in Hoard armys you can have upward of 60 power armored body's. hard to stop out side of AP3 large blasts, but a wallet screaming nightmare to put together. 

The obvious first answer is to [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Proxy proxy] a solution, go to a second company for models. however the problem is that the sisters are unique. If you look around among other miniature manufacturers you'll find that the 'army of nuns in power armor' theme is, surprisingly (given how many space marines knock offs you can find), uncommon. Sure you can find one or two models but nothing you can replicate army wide. Your odds of finding a good model go up if you just look for 'girls in power armor' but even then your pickings are slim (for some reason miniature sculptors tend to make female models with very little clothing on, not so much full sets of armor, go figure) and again any option you do find will likely be hard to use army wide unless you really commit to kit bashing to deal with weapon and pose problems. 

The running best option among players seems to be to combining body's from the Dark Eldars with Space Marine arms and weapons, which both look a bit oversize on Eldar bodies. Alternately you're manly enough you can use dark eldar bodies and legs, and a mix of dark eldar and dark elf heads to come up with some awesome looking models. Use empire rifles and arms to give them that steam punk look and you got yourself some cool fuckin' models. Think Sisters of Silence, but without the armour that covers half their face.

Another option may be going 'screw it!' to the sisters aesthetic and use Space Marines with female heads on them. But this makes proper Sisters sad. Yet another option would be to find  miniatures that while 'slimmer' than a space marine are still in full armor. Something you can point to and say 'looks like a girl can wear that' but again, this only solves the 'army of girls in power armor theme' not the 'army of nuns in power armor' issue, which is truly what the Sisters are about. Don't worry about Repentia though, your find PLENTY of models for them. 

If you're particularly desperate, the chinese recasters have taken notice of the "re-release" Adepta Sororitas and are offering resin versions of Sisters. Unfortunately, they've also taken notice of the GW prices and while cheaper, they're still quite steep in price compared to other armies. You probably won't be able to take these to a tournament either, since any organizer worth their salt will know that Sisters should be metal (of course you could claim you recasted them/sculpted them yourself from Greenstuff buuuut that would also be expensive... maybe?).

One more (extremely badass) option is coming down the pipe. Keep your eyes peeled for Raging heroes' 'Sisters of Eternal Mercy'. Raging Heroes generally does amazing work, and they are clearly going to be creating Sisters of Battle type models (they are, in fact, nuns in space). You won't be able to play them at a tournament, but who cares? All your friends will let you use them, and you are supporting a small business. Plus they will look WAY cooler. the kickstarter will begin in the spring. Heres a link to the concept art (its the pic at the bottom of the page): 

http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.com/2014/02/toughest-girls-of-galaxy-update.html

a second option that is coming up is [http://dreamforge-games.com/ Dreamforge Games], while there standard storm troopers that are for sale now could pass for female models given there slimness there also going to be coming out with female variants soon, plus at 60 cents a model it's a very, very good bargain.

All in all until GW puts some plastics out, there are no good options for sister players at the moment.

==The James Swallow books: SoBs can win too!==
[[File:Hammer-and-anvil.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Sister Miriya from Hammer & Anvil, yes, [[Black Library]] artists can draw pretty sisters too.]]
Among [[Black Library]], there are two books, specifically starring the Sisters, that are widely considered to be some the finest portrayals of SoBs in all of [[40K]] fluff. Both were authored by [[James Swallow]], who decided that Sisters needed some attention and got to work. The first, [http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/Faith-and-Fire.html Faith and Fire], has the Sisters battling with what are basically terrorist psykers on a shrine world while trying to uncover the reasons behind the attacks. Then there's the sequel, [http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/Hammer-and-Anvil.html Hammer and Anvil]. Remember reading about Santuary 101 up there? This book has them going back there and trying to figure out what happened. While saying too much would be spoiling it, it can be said that shit hits the fan hard and that the final battle is very epic stuff. Also, if you're feeling extra faithful, Swallow wrote an SoB audiobook called [http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/red-and-black-mp3.html Red and Black]. A prequel to Faith and Fire, it has the Sisters being sent to a recently rediscovered planet as representatives of the Imperium, and ultimately to judge it. Needless to say, things get complicated. Also features a Scottish SoB. So, you can help the Sisters by getting the above books so that [[Games Workshop]] and Black Library may decide to change their minds and give some love to these girls. Or at least give them some additional badass portrayals.

==Tactics==
The Sisters of Battle employ a costly yet simple tactic whenever they're called out for battle:

<br>1.Bring thousands of sexually deprived Sisters of Battle into the field.
<br>2.Arm them all with Melta and flame-based weapons.
<br>3.<s>Tell them they can shlick to the image of the Emperor if they triumph over the foul enemies of the Imperium.</s> {{BLAM|'''HERESY.  *BLAM*'''}}
<br>4.Set them loose, hope you are not fighting slaaneshi cult.
<br>5.If they do win, all remaining Imperial troops, save for the SoBs, are ordered off the field.
<br>6.No other accounts can be heard of, as remembrancers and all other Imperial journalists are sworn to an oath of silence on whatever events transpired.
<br>7.????
<br>8.Profit.
