"Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."

I'm sure you will recall my previous discussion of Transhuman Dread and the deleterious effects it has upon unaugmented humans. It may surprise you to learn that in time, one may become, if not immune to it, then sufficiently inured as to not flinch in fear at the slightest movement an Astartes makes.

Even Transhuman Dread pales to insignificance in comparison to being regarded by the targeting augers of a 'Dreadnaught' though, and the first time that I found myself in the presence of [REDACTED] it was all I could do not to flee in terror.

My hosts appeared amused at my discomfiture and assured me that should my nerves get the better of me, the threat responses hardwired into the mnemocoils of [REDACTED]'s warsuit would ensure I would not live to make such a poor choice again. Though I never did find out if they spoke in jest, I can assure you that I was instantly resolved to never put their words to the test...
