NecronYou notice the convulsions in the xenos's limbs. The light is flickering in his eyes. Perhaps something went wrong during this monster's awakening from stasis, damaging his engrams and plunging him into madness.
YOU"What are you?"
NecronThe xenos's limbs shiver at the sound of your voice. He emits a deep hum full of dour pride. You are unable to decipher it but you can sense his disdainful rage and stern resolve to kill you. This is neither the dispassion of a prowling beast nor the blinding rage of insanity, but the instinct of a warrior.
YOU"What are you?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"What is it that is making you grieve? Is it your imminent death?"
NecronThe warrior turns his gaze directly on you. The green light in his eyes flares up like a bonfire. "Inexistence is entropically preordained! It is no cause for grief! The egregious mistakes are! The violated imperatives are! The Yekhmet dynasty took watch of the seed of the cataclysm. The seed was neglected. A cataclysm has sprouted from it. Honour has been trampled underfoot."

Kibellah"Let its death be clean. No xenos could ever hope to receive His grace, but... The way it gazes into the face of its doom is worthy of respect."

UlfarClearing his throat, Ulfar grudgingly admits, "He speaks of honour before death. These ancient xenos certainly have an understanding of battle courage and honour. Perhaps the old ones are right, and everything has become degraded over the centuries. Even inhumans."
Marazhai"You dislike me, but this lump of metal commands your respect? You truly are a deranged breed."

YOU"What is this cataclysm unfolding here?"
Necron"The star devourer is asleep yet awake. His breath is a poisonous pestilence. His dreams are engrammatic acid. Quantum uncertainty is his shroud, and that which came to pass is entangled in it and interwoven with that which came not to pass. Possibility becomes actuality. Actuality unbecomes itself."
Necron(sequence)
Pasqal"So brazen a violation of the laws of existence set by the Omnissiah — the very idea is infinitely blasphemous. So blasphemous as to... almost be sacred."

Eogunn"If we accept this statement as truth, we face a dilemma: is this a manifestation of the divine, or... its opposite? I cannot solve it, Rogue Trader."

YOU"Instead of fighting each other, we should unite to halt the impending nightmare."
NecronThe fallen warrior scrapes the floor with his claws and screeches furiously, "Unacceptable! The rot of transient life must be eradicated!"

YOU[Grant the ancient warrior an honourable death] "Your watch is over."
NecronThe xenos dies with a piercing howl of wrath. There is no fear in these sounds, only the stubbornness of a true warrior with a touch of regret at his defeat.
NecronA terrible rumble comes from somewhere deep inside the crypt as soon as the green fire goes out in the fallen warrior's eyes. The glow of the glyphs upon the walls becomes chaotic and disarrayed. Something just broke irreparably in this crypt.

Necron"May tachyonic wind carry my words, may the oceans of subatomic resonance reflect it, and may it resound until the world grows old." Convulsions begin to affect the metallic body and the entire crypt is quivering along. The walls seem more fragile with each passing second. Impossible anomalies are now rampant in them. "Let the Yekhmet dynasty be cursed!"

Yrliet"A warrior of iron. A sentinel of the tomb of the Ancient Ones. A child of the Yngir, the star devourers, and an eternal enemy of the Asuryani." Yrliet grips the weapon in her hands tightly, as if expecting the terrifying warrior to spring to life and attack at any second.

NecronThe xenos's limbs shiver at the sound of your voice. The Elucidator takes on a tone of revulsion: "Despicable. An overlord's moment of grief is befouled by the influence of transient life. Rage has clouded the purity of the mourning." The warrior makes a futile attempt to get up, only to convulse again. Something bursts inside him, making a ringing noise. The entire crypt echoes that sound with a resonant rumbling tremor.
Necron"Shame upon the Cryptogeometric Sentinel who was entrusted with guarding the paths of actualisation and failed to be vigilant. Unworthy feet have trodden those paths." The voice-like hum from behind his lowered visor fades.

NecronYou appear to be looking at the overlord of a minor dynasty of the xenos. He is clearly a member of a destructive cult that loathes living flesh with a visceral passion. However, as much as he resembles an animated metallic statue, he was once a living being, and the ideals of duty and valour that used to guide him still exist in his mind.

NecronYou are evidently looking at a deranged machine built for destruction. It is unsurprising that his apocalyptic outpourings are not directed at anyone in particular. He simply has a burning hatred for all of existence.

NecronThe colossal warrior's formidable underframe can no longer bear his weight. With armour plates clanging, his great bulk slumps. A low sound is born in his chest, which your Elucidator turns into the words, "Let woe befall the unworthy Yekhmet dynasty. Sleep is nearing its end and thraldom returns. In my vestment of shame, I peer into the stormy horizons of the future."
