All Comments on 'Nights and Days in Hive Acropolis'

Notes on the setting:

This story is set in my own alternate version of the 40K universe.

In this alternate (future) history, the main departure comes when Inquisitor Kryptmann — who, as in GW background, brings the Imperium vital intelligence about the Tyranid Hive Fleet invasion — is appointed chancellor of the Imperium. He becomes a Gorbachev-like figure, spearheading various reforms with the aim of combating the Tyranid threat. After Kryptmann is deposed, some of the reforms persist, including the development of an Imperium-wide mass culture (the Imperial Broadcasting Network) and liberalisation of the development of certain technologies (such as genetics and AI), and their freeing from the institutions that had monopolised them (Marines, Mechanicus).

By this point in the timeline, Earth has been invaded by a surprise attack — a comeback tour by the 'Big Four' Chaos Legions. The Solar System itself is 'off the map', enveloped by warp storms, the Astronomican is off-line, and no one knows what has become of the Emperor. Necromunda becomes the capital of the self-styled Republic, the largest successor state to the Imperium, which becomes dominated by President Jaeger Russ (who claims to be Leman Russ returned, but taller and psychic) in association with the Necromundan Great Houses and a number of other factions.

None of which has that much directly to do with this particular fetish story, but I figured some readers might appreciate the clarification! XD

FYI, this story is complete, so expect the subsequent chapters to follow over the next couple of weeks.
