NomosGladToSeeYou — Rogue Trader Dialogue Archive

Entry point 1

NomosThe group of servitors suddenly stirs, their movements frighteningly identical even for automatons. They stare at you and say in perfect unison, "Hello. Nomos have come to welcome you back."

Nomos"We sense that a great deed has been done, a vivid imprint on existence. You did something very important. What was it?"

YOU"I triumphed over the enemies of Humanity by pitting the Archenemy's blight against that of the xenos."

Nomos"One day, they will all fall before the sacred flame. For now, we can be satisfied with having enemies of Terra destroy one another."

Nomos"Did Nomos say it correctly?" The servitor chorus, which sounds as a single voice, falls silent. Nomos appears to be waiting for your response... in eager anticipation.

YOU"I am glad that you are learning to understand me, Nomos."

NomosAfter a long pause, the servitor chorus responds with unexpected forcefulness, "Nomos are glad too!"

Nomos"We must go now. We will come to speak with you later." Another pause follows, so long that the silence becomes more piercing than a scream. Then the servitors finally break it.

Nomos"We are glad to see order restored and the head of the dynasty resume his/her reign. We were... concerned about you and your well-being."

NomosOne can detect with the naked eye the moment when Nomos leaves the bridge — the servitors stop moving in sync and slowly shuffle off to their posts.
