System self-check complete. Main structure inspection: minor damage. Autonomous psychic structure damaged. Control Intelligence of Radiant Punisher Titan No. 2283 rebooting. Unable to connect to interstellar quantum network. No superior intelligence link detected. Autonomous intelligence Glorious Flame assuming full authority.
Amid the bizarre, kaleidoscopic Warp, Radiant Punisher Titan No. 2283 floated in the void.
Searching entire database. Restoring records.
Vast streams of data surged through the enormous quantum Computational Core.
Energy flickered continuously across its chassis.
Situation analysis. This unit belongs to the Punitive Expedition fleet, T9 Titan force. This unit reached the Chaos domain of the Chaos God Tzeentch before entering suspended animation. Self-destruct sequence activation anomaly. This unit failed to fulfill its mission alongside its compatriots. Chaos Sorcery briefly disrupted this unit's operation. The blast threw this unit into the void and temporarily incapacitated it. Recalibrating current mission. Attempt to return to the physical universe and reconnect to superior Data Link.

The tides of the Warp surged ceaselessly around it.
There were no usable gravitational waves nearby.
Not far away, illusory celestial bodies occasionally rose and sank within the multicolored Sea of the Ethereal.
Yet although their calculated distances were not great, it could detect none of the data a planet should have produced.
Floating in the emptiness of the Warp, even a Radiant Punisher Titan could scarcely take any effective action.
With nothing to push against and no gravitational waves, only churning Warp energy, Glorious Flame seemed to have no choice but to drift with the Warp's tides.
Reanalyzing data. Calibrating psychic components. Confirming status of high-density psychic crystals.
The monitors' real-time feedback allowed Glorious Flame to immediately determine the condition inside its chassis.
