Chapter 212: The Return of the Silent Sister
After receiving the request of these Silent Nuns, Sivier realized that there was such a special group of troops in the Empire.
Like most people in the Empire, Sivir had thought that the Silent Nun forces had long since dissipated. At the time of M32's Beast Wars, there was only one troop of fifty Silent Nuns known to the Empire in the entire galaxy.
And now, another thousand years later, no one expected that a new army of Sisters of Silence would appear again.
When they did not accept their request for psionic awakening, Sivier readily agreed. And for these silent nuns, who are psionic isolates, Sivir soon had some new ideas.
A series of orders were given by Sivir, who immediately changed the situation of the Silent Nun in the empire at this time.
Not only did they agree to their request, but it was also announced that the Silent Nuns had been restored to their troop in the Court of the Stars. But like the Emperors of the past, these Sisters of Silence will be directly at Sivel's behest.
At the same time, Sivir sent a large number of emissaries to search the galaxy, discovering the forgotten fortress of the Silent Nuns and announcing that he had recruited them.
At this time, most of the remaining Silent Nuns were forgotten by the Empire, and only a very small number of nuns who did not receive financial support served on the Black Ships. They are loyal to their duties, but they do not receive the recognition and support of the Empire.
But now, the situation has changed.
A large number of Sisters of Silence immediately headed for Terra after being recruited by Sivir. No matter how much time has passed, their loyalty to the emperor has not changed in the slightest.
Although the nuns stated that they remained loyal to the Emperor and his Primordials during the Beast Wars in M32, they were dismissive of the current Empire, claiming that they would rather see it fall to ashes.
But the high lord who once led the empire has long been discredited and stepped down in embarrassment, and now under the leadership of the Holy Son Sivir, the empire has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
In their hearts, these Silent Nuns had long since dedicated their allegiance to Sivir as if they were worshiping the emperor.
A group of remaining Silent Nuns reappeared in Terra, but time changed them a lot.
Compared to the size of the Silent Nun's force in the past, the number of Silent Nuns gathered in Terra is simply too small.
Once under the leadership of the Emperor, the nuns would recruit psionic isolaters from a variety of sources.
Some of the Sisters of Silence's forces have been able to recruit enough psionic Isolators through the Empire's tithes alone, while others have obtained psionic Isolators through the Inquisition and the Rogue Traders.
However, after the Sisters of Silence were expelled from Terra, almost all of these former methods of recruitment were no longer available to them.
Although there are rumors that the Sisters have a genetic stable untouchable bloodline within the Sisters and are able to produce new recruitable Sisters.
But judging by the number of Silent Nuns gathered on Terra right now, it is certain that even if this rumor is true, there must be a small chance that the Silent Nun will have a child of an untouchable person.
Otherwise, the number of these Silent Nuns could not be so scarce.
In addition to giving birth, these Sisters of Silence can only use themselves to find the untouchable in the galaxy and recruit them.
But without the official help of the Empire, this method is very inefficient.
With only these two methods of recruitment, it is no wonder that the number of Sisters of Silence at this time is so small.
But then Sivir has to entrust these Sisters of Silence with important tasks, and how can such a small number be enough.
So Sivir gave the Silent Nuns the right to expand their army. The rest of the Empire will work with these returning Sisters of Silence to recruit the untouchable in the galaxy.
However, the number of untouchables in the Empire is also very rare. Not to mention that the Silent Nuns only need female untouchables, and there are no Silent Monks in the Empire.
And, as mentioned before, an untouchable person will provoke irrational unease and hostility towards any entity with a soul. Untouchables struggle with ordinary people, whose lives are often short and painful, and who are often marginalized in society.
Some of the Untouchables may have had enough of their identity, and through the Empire's ongoing Psionic Awakening program, they may be transformed from an Untouchable into a Psyker.
With genetic engineering, this is not a fantasy. Before executing the psionic plan, Sivir had already considered all possibilities.
For all these reasons, the Sisters of Silence may not be able to expand quickly to a number that Sivir is satisfied with in a short period of time.
However, after some discussion between Sivir and the Silent Sister's commander, the Silent Sisters lowered their recruitment criteria so that any woman could join the Silent Sister's unit.
At this moment, the scope of recruitment of the Silent Nun has expanded a thousand times more, and women throughout the empire have the possibility of joining the Silent Nuns.
......
Ahem.
Actually, men can too. (Who says there are no silent monks!) )
With the Empire's biotechnology today, simple sex reassignment surgery is a breeze. The biotechnology of any empire planet is capable of doing this.
Biologically, it is possible to make a male completely female.
Even on some of the Empire's planets, the Empire's biotechnology is capable of even more amazing things, such as cross-species hybridization.
The Orc-like Empire, a combination of animal and plant genes, can now be created, and through biotechnology, the Empire is able to allow humans to cross with Elven beings with a five-helix structure.
Of course, the wonderful combination of orcs and humans, orcs and spirits is not impossible.
The birth of universal sex biology revolutionized the limits of reproduction. Although sometimes it is a bit troublesome to change the gender or race to reproduce.
However, these are only discussed from the perspective of technology and feasibility, and no normal human will be in estrus with a green mushroom or pointed ears.
Those are abominable aliens!
!
If you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, go to the nearest church and confess to the emperor!
Let the priest purify your wicked heart and pray for the Emperor's forgiveness!
!
......
As soon as the Empire's Sisters of Silence recruited beginners arrived at the fortress or monastery, they began a rigorous and exhausting training with lesser responsibilities.
It is only when they are worthy of the high standards of the Sisters that they are formally drafted.
And when they are formally recruited, those who are not untouchable will be genetically engineered to become qualified Sisters of Silence through a series of complex genetic surgeries.
This surgery to create untouchable people is not something that has been developed recently. Even before Sivir implemented the psionic project, the Empire had already begun research on the untouchable.
Project Psionic Awakening will turn all subjects of the Empire into psionics, including, of course, those who are subjects of the Empire who are untouchable.
But this does not mean that the Untouchables will disappear from the Empire, and in addition to the Sisters of Silence, there are many untouchable forces in the Empire.
For example, the Temple of Chulisas, which was one of the six temples of the Assassin Court. And these assassins are among the most evil and feared assassins.
In the mouths of the elven war witches, the Assassins of the Temple of Chulisas are the embodiment of pure evil. For the spirits and demons, they are a nightmare.
The Inquisition is also keen to use the Untouchable, as the latter is the most effective anti-psionic tool and is very useful when fighting wizards and demons. The Untouchable usually followed the Inquisitor as squires, protecting him from the harm of witchcraft.
Sivir must take into account the recruitment of personnel from these forces or sectors. So the study of the genes of the untouchables, which had been abandoned by the Empire, was restarted on Sivel's orders.
Sivir's act of turning all the untouchables in the empire into psionics and then figuring out how to create them seems like a thankless task.
But Sivir did all this only to give future subjects of the empire a chance—a chance to choose their own identity.
The Untouchables are often uncomfortable for those around them, so once the Untouchables of the Empire lived worse than the Psionics.
When the Sisters of Silence had recruited the untouchable through tithes, the human world was eager to send them away.
There used to be no way to change this natural thing, but now it's different.
Sivir came to earth to fight for the happiness of mankind, and in the future, the Empire will no longer have inherently untouchables, and even if there is, the Empire will be able to help him with genetic surgery.
Those sectors that need the Untouchable will recruit warriors in the Empire who are extremely loyal, willing to make sacrifices for the Empire, and who are willing to genetically modify themselves to become Untouchables.
Just like the recruitment process for the Sisters of Silence now.
When they become official Silent Nuns and undergo genetic surgery to become untouchable, they are required to take a quiet vow and never speak.
Each nominated nun of silence is to make a silent vow – the vow of tranquility. That's why they're called silence.
Until then, beginners can talk normally. In addition to their own tasks, the beginners are also responsible for acting as interpreters between the senior nuns and the rest of the Imperial staff.
However, when they become official Sisters of Silence, they will converse with each other in their own sign language, but they will also be familiar with other sign languages, such as the Astarte battle gestures.
When necessary, they also use messengers to send some code that can be quickly machine-readable.
As a unit that once fought alongside the forbidden army, the Silent Nun is very good at fighting skills in addition to her special status as an untouchable person.
These Silent Nuns have undergone extremely rigorous training to maintain cold-blooded and efficient combat discipline, but at the same time their style is full of wildness. They are keen to sow fear among their enemies, including employing murderous tactics not commonly used by the Astarte Legion.
On the battlefield, in addition to dealing with psionics, they also have to deal with psychic troops, living corpses manipulated into battle, and fortresses heavily guarded by pagan orders.
And as untouchables, coupled with loyalty to the Emperor, the Sisters of Silence are the Empire's most zealous and ruthless troops.
Their cold hearts and fearsome strength are strong enough to deal with any wizard, psyker, and creature that comes into contact with the subspace as a threat to the Empire.
In order to take on their own special responsibilities, each Silent Nun will focus on training in melee combat and short-range shooting, and have their own unique strategic ideas for high-intensity warfare.
They often had to deal with very harsh combat conditions, and honor was nothing to the Sisters of Silence compared to achieving their goals.
Stealth, surveillance, and even the execution of enemies are among the options, as they have the privileges granted by the Empire, and they do not need the authorization of any agency or individual to use any of them, although they will also plan in detail according to their mission.
Once upon a time, the task of the Silent Sisters was very complicated.
They are an investigative agency set up by the Emperor to support the work of the Star Whispering Court. However, there are a small number of members who do not act as troops, but rather as officers or Assassins.
But in general, the core duties of the Silent Retreat are still to act as an armed investigator, psyker catcher, or prison warden.
They will bring the psionics in the human settlements back to the department of the Astral Court for evaluation and control, and they will also hunt down those who try to rebel, or those who may pose a threat to the empire due to their own psionic qualities.
This never-ending work will take precedence over the letter of all human laws, as well as the orders of the army.
And at this stage when Sivir is about to turn all the subjects of the empire into psykers, a law enforcement agency that specifically targets psionics is crucial.
After all the subjects of the empire have become psykers, chaos and crimes in each imperial world can still be dealt with as usual.
After all, the law enforcement department of the empire also has spiritual power, and being able to be recruited into the law enforcement department can prove that the spiritual power of these law enforcers must be very strong.
Coupled with sophisticated equipment and weapons, the Empire's enforcers are still more than capable of dealing with those who commit crimes.
But the threat from subspace Sivir had to be considered.
If a psyker is not guilty of his own reasons, but because of the corruption of the subspace.
Then, even if the Empire's law enforcement agencies succeed in subduing it, if the problem is not detected in the first place, the corruption of the subspace may continue to spread quietly.
And even if these law enforcement agencies find a problem and kill the corrupt as soon as possible, it is difficult to ensure that the seeds of corruption will not take root in the hearts of some law enforcers.
Subspace corruption is like a plague, and even if those who enforce the law are loyal and willing, like well-prepared medical personnel who go out to eradicate the virus, no one can guarantee that they will not be infected.
This is one of the reasons why some Imperial forces used to be so extreme in dealing with the chaos aspect. Even allies who are extreme enough to fight against the forces of chaos with themselves will be purged after the war.
It is necessary to create a force that will not be "infected".
