Psyber-Raven[Pet's Name] stares off into space without blinking. A barely distinguishable whisper comes from the raven's half-open beak, filling the entire room. As soon as you approach, the sounds stop, and the bird turns its head to you sharply.
YOU"Vog'Haik'Sameth, do you hear me?"
Psyber-RavenQuiet laughter breaks the silence. The raven's jaws part, and under its tongue, you see a daemonic blue-grey eye open sluggishly. "The Child of the Dawn has come to speak with me. I will answer your call."
YOU"How does it feel to be imprisoned in the body of one of my servants?"
Psyber-RavenThe raven's beak yawns open unnaturally wide, its tongue lolling out and its wings trembling in agony. The eye under its tongue pierces you with its stare, and the sound of the voice that comes from the bird's throat pulls your muscles taut and twists your bones out of their joints. "Taunting a Lord of Change is unwise. My confinement within the weapon of the dancing souls lasted far longer, yet still, I found a way to exact my revenge. But I am not offended — I yearn to see you touch upon the Primordial Truth. The rest is insignificant, Child of the Dawn."

YOU"You are a servant of the Weaver of Destinies, are you not? Do you have the power to save me from death?"
Psyber-RavenA whispering host of voices erupts from the raven's throat, caressing your ears, slithering into your mouth and nose. "A true Child of the Dawn who craves to take hold of the threads of the future... You ask for much, and great will be the price to pay. But the champion's desire is my desire."

YOU"I grow tired of you. Rid my raven of your presence!"
Psyber-Raven"That is impossible, Child of the Dawn — it was you who wove this fate into being. Now and for all time, this vessel is one of thousands of my eye's pupils." The raven's head cracks and falls to one side, as if something invisible had snapped its neck. For a few seconds, the bird stares at you with dead eyes, before suddenly jerking back to life and raising its head once more.

YOU"Let me talk to my bird, not you."
Psyber-RavenSomething within the raven laughs softly, before the bird shakes itself as if to clear its head. It looks the same as before, but for the faint, mocking blue glow now emanating from its black eyes.
YOU"Vog'Haik'Sameth, do you hear me?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Tell me what the future holds for us, [Pet's Name]."
Psyber-RavenThe raven cranes its neck, staring into your face. Its black beak opens: "Darkness marching over fading suns."

Psyber-RavenWith a short croak of gratitude, [Pet's Name] catches the food and instantly tears it to pieces.

YOU"What do they say about me around the decks?"
Psyber-RavenThe raven turns its head, looking at you with each eye in turn, then cranes its neck as if trying to bow. It seems it has heard an abundance of flattering words about you and is now attempting to express reverence to the best of its ability.

Psyber-RavenThe feathers feel rough to the touch. [Pet's Name] catches one of your fingers with a beak that could easily slice a digit clean off — this is merely a warning, for now.

Psyber-RavenThe raven flaps its wings and takes off from its perch...
Psyber-Raven[Pet's Name] returns after a watch hour has passed. Before landing back on the perch, the raven drops its trophy at your feet — following your command, it has indeed found something to offer its master.

Psyber-Raven[Pet's Name] lets out a piercing croak, beak agape. The sound is surprisingly reminiscent of mocking laughter. With its talons digging into the perch and its wings beating frenziedly, the raven looks as if it has grown used to people cowering in terror upon its arrival. It appears that its master instils the same fear in his/her subjects.

Psyber-Raven[Pet's Name] looks at you without making a sound and straightens up. Then, the bird spreads its wings as if trying to appear larger. Presumably, this dignified silence is supposed to demonstrate the grim respect that your subjects have for their Rogue Trader.

Psyber-RavenThe raven bows its head. This time, the voice you hear is not the usual deafening croak, but a quiet rattle, as if [Pet's Name] were afraid of being heard by the wrong ears: "Ancient one. Death of the galaxy."

Psyber-RavenThe raven suddenly shrieks and stretches its wings wide. From under its black feathers, dozens of glimmering, otherworldly eyes stare at you. "Power over destiny, Child of the Dawn! No more and no less!"

Psyber-RavenAs soon as you step closer, the raven flaps its wings in agitation, as if eager to give you something. A curious object falls into your hand...
Psyber-Raven...a cracked spirit stone. Marazhai's armour bears many such adornments — grim reminders of his triumphs over his distant craftworld kin.
YOU"Thank you, [Pet's Name]. I wonder what you will bring me next time."
Psyber-RavenThe raven's black eyes glitter with what seems like excitement.

Psyber-Raven...a strange bauble made from an unusual substance. After getting a better look, you recognise the material as wraithbone. It looks like Yrliet may now be one weapon ornament short.

Psyber-Raven[Pet's Name] watches you intently from up above. The jet-black bird remains almost perfectly still, giving you the sense of looking at a stuffed mount or a statue instead of a living creature. Suddenly, its beak opens, and you hear a distorted, barely intelligible "[Name]."
