Welcome to another installment of the grim dark story horror, its still spooky month so were diving in to another classic piece of warhammer 40k horror stories. no space marines to be found here, just a crew who have become becalmed in space and forced to dock at the station of refuge, a station that hides a horrific statement! gather round my friends and lets dive into the story, " The Way Out". Since the story was presented as an audio drama, I have had to re word most of the story to make it fit into a youtube video format. I have tried to preserve as many of Rachel Harrison's descriptions as possible as her writing is phenomenal and riping with atmosphere! If you enjoy this video please support the original release by purchasing it on audible.

I don't think that was a regular nebula they were traveling through, but a low-grade warp storm. Not strong enough for a ton of daemons to manifest, just enough for one powerful daemon get a foothold. All he needed was a proper host to possess. Lacking that, he just has to wait until another vessel approaches. The second I didn't get a welcoming party at the umbilical dock, I'd be raising the Gellar fields and pushing off to report the station to the Imperial Navy. Let them send a taskforce and an Inquisitor to deal solve that riddle.

I appreciate that the Captain was able to conquer her fears and weaknesses and energe triumphant in will over the likely Tzeentch Daemon. She doesn’t let her fears manipulate her because she’s honest about her guilt. Unfortunately, Post Tyrannid Stress Disorder over there really had a weak mind. Man was so convinced there were nids, even after all of the obvious signs of mind fuckery, that he fucked over his captain and the rest. The Navigator’s weakness wasn’t guilt or self denial, it was pride and ego. He really thought he was special, and he sacrificed everyone in a chance to prove it. The poor mechanicus girl’s weakness was her innate love of truth. “Every question has an answer” was a mindset that doomed her. If she’d ignored the core, ignored the mystery or the lack of sense present, she could have finished boosting the signal and then they could have waited out the madness in that room. But alas.

She earned and deserved her fate. She fell to ambition, coveting the freedom the ship was, evidenced by the fact that the quote saying that exact idea was what drove her to betray Sato after her rightful loss in the duel. Her ambition led her to scheme and resort to underhanded tactics. She sank below the rightful methods of ascent in order to seize for herself. If she could not achieve her goals rightfully, she would do so by any means necessary. If she had not drawn the gaze of Birdman before then, she did with that doozy of self-entitlement. Her fate was very much in line with her life, and she was betrayed by yet another. At least the one she was betrayed by did so out of legitimate fear and not envy - even if he was selfish and cowardly. What was she going to run from? A dead man having a very uncomfortable conversation about accountability? As opposed to a guy seeing a dead man proclaiming your incipiente horrifically inescapable consumption by an army of Tyranids? Her life was one worshipping the ways of Tzeentch, and he came to offer his twisted deliverance to a faithful, if unaware, disciple. Really to all of them, but she earned hers all the same. If she had the ability to see a greater reality than that of her own aspirations she may have recognized his influence long before it led to her doom. She could see no further than her own ends, which ironically led to her own end. "You must take care of yourself." She lived and died by that maxim - a selfish traitor at the mercy of another, and at the hands of one to whom her entire life served as an ironic monument. The Mechanicus worshipped at the altar of Pidge as well - willing to stare into the blasted, howling dark and knowingly say, "But I gotsta know! I'm dying, and this knowledge will die with me, but that doesn't matter if *I* get to know! If my data banks are a risk of corruption to those recovering the data then they must not be cool enough!" That is wilfully negligent if we're being *generous*. Just because you're nice and polite does not stop you from being so stupid and naive that you present a danger to yourself and others. Havotz literally said some questions are best left unanswered. She stares into the depths of a supernatural, interdimensional being and decides to not see what he means - that questions about the core and the station's rarity comprised the big deal and temperatures were so important. The temperatures could have been arbitrarily altered just to make her seek an answer - when the decision was quite possibly made without regards to reason. "But, why tho?" "To prey on you - you quest for knowledge without wisdom. You lived a fool and will die little better than one." Ultimately, everyone was awful and served as the architect of their own demise. The captain and Navigator fell to pride, ambition, and entitlement. The Mechanicus was a gullible idiot in a galaxy where everything wants to kill you.

The ending feels like a sort of loop. Ships are forcefully thrown out of the warp near the station, the crew going mad and destroying the ship so survivors are stranded onboard and eventually end up alone, only call for help with the same words they heard before and to not "stray from the path I have given you". The way Havots words just "tumble out of his mouth" like he has no control, like when he couldn't run from his vision. It makes you wonder if Farah really did work on the station or if she was lying and the story of working there, and the crew butchering each other, was passed down survivor to survivor who came aboard only to end up alone in the dark, and now Havots might just repeat those same stories in a twisted cycle until the entity can escape. Perhaps the hastily sealed bulkhead was done by a prior ship before the story, only for the crew to get back and slaughter each other and destroy the ship. Merely a fun theory mind you.

This is definitely a cycle. Farah saying that it's the only way out right before her death seals the deal here. However, it's clearly not meant to be a cycle. The entity isn't interested in repeating this whole charade over and over, it wants to escape, it needs a host body. So the cycle repeating over and over shows that so far it failed to get a host every time.

So I got in my ship and got the hell out of there." I feel like it captures the advice you gave perfectly. Or even better than that, just shoot the station and blow it up! 😆

Unfortunately against a being like this that wouldn't matter in the end. Even if this wasn't the Grimdark of 40k, forcing even one individual to face the inner manifest that is their collective anxieties and fears is enough to break them. Even if say a group of 3 survivors rebuffed it's initial attempts to unravel their sanity, this is a being of infinitely unknown power and malice. It has no care it failed once, it will assault, even rape your very mind again and again, like a corrosive tide ebbing and flowing, each one taking a little more each hour, each day, each week. Eventually the bonds of friendship give way to paranoia, a missed ration here, a whispered word there. Eventually, all things break, all minds shatter. They are food for this being and drawing out their suffering just means it gets to sip rather than gorge.

One of my favorite stories that spooked me was The Damnation of Pythos. I believe it released way before the 2019 shift into horror book. The audio book for Damnation of Pythos was amazing and the constant feeling of dread was palpable. The ending is in my opinion one of the best for a horror 30k book. It's an underrated gem imho. I hope you do a deep dive into the lore of Pythos. It's relevant even in 40k.

Isn’t knowledge of Chaos kept secret by the Imperium so as to quell the spread? I know the average Guardsman knows next to nothing about them except for some vague idea of the “Ruinous Powers” that the Emperor protects from. I doubt the Navy would be much better in that regard, beyond maybe understanding that there’s some nasty shit in the Warp that you don’t want to mess with.

So the ship was invested with a warp demon that feeds on people's greatest regrets and losses. Then the most broken of the crew isolates themselves and calls for help to renew the cycle. The only things I don't get is what is the ultimate fate of the captain and what happens if the demon gets a navigator? Like it's still on a busted station all by itself covered in dead bodies. How are you gonna fly it out without a crew? I know I'm cherry picking here but it's making me wonder.

I think I finally know what the creature is and what killed the crew that was on Refuge, it's a Pink Horror of Tzeentch called Xuq'ls and get this what I found out about this Daemon "All tales of Xuq'ls are different, with disagreements on his size, strength, and color. However, one part of the tale is consistent. Xuq'ls speaks constantly, both in mortal tongues and the long-forgotten tongues of Chaos, and his gibbering tears at the edges of one's sanity. His madness has scarred itself into the mind of all who have faced him." so basically this warp entity was roaming around and saw the station, got on undetected, killed the all the crew on in except for one person who manage to trap it in the core for who knows how long.

Honestly in both cases the main threat was seemingly an unknown or unremembered type of minor, possibly non-aligned Warp entity, And considering just how fucking VAST the Warp is, to the extent that the Chaos Gods, Emperor, and former Eldar Pantheon only occupy and influence a fraction of it, you can't really ever get rid of all of them. EVen in a timeline where the Emperor's Webway project succeeded and the Heresy never happened (or if Chaos never got involved), there would still be warp incursions and areas of the cosmos where the barrier between the Warp and Realspace are thinner, allowing some things like these to slip through the cracks. The only way to permanently get rid of any threat of the Warp is to cover it in Necron anti-Warp tech, which while objectively makes things a lot calmer and more peaceful, seems to have a degenerative effect on anything with a soul. In that reality, only Necrons, some of their Admech simps, Votann, Tau, and maybe Eldar stuck in the Webway would be alive.
