CarrionCrow: Okay, I've got to ask - is the Emperor ever going to actually be up and around again?
From the tiny bit of lore I know, he's just alive enough to be a navigational beacon, and he has to devour psykers to even be able to do that much.
At this point the emperor getting up from his chair and doing anything at all is pretty much wishful thinking, specially since the golden throne is failing, and constantly breaking down more and more often. And because it is old achaeotech, the adeptus mechanicus of course have no idea at all of how it works or how to repair it. From the tiny bit of lore I know, he's just alive enough to be a navigational beacon, and he has to devour psykers to even be able to do that much.
Of course some people claim that this is just as planned by a certain feathery faggot, who wants this to happen so that when it actually does, the massive psychic shockwave will create a new chaos god from the gestalt souls of every single psyker sacrificed to the corpse emperor, thus eliminating any opposition, and finally getting a fifth person to play poker on fridays since Malal grabbed his stuff and went home telling everyone to screw themselves.
Of course that might not be true, and what'll happen is that the second, less well known but just as important task of the emperor in the golden throne will be revealed. Focusing all his willpower in keeping a warp rift located right under his ass (a consequence of Magnus' dickery) closed. One large enough that if it were ever to unravel, it would make the galaxy look like the goatse guy.
