🩸 BLACKSITE TRANSMISSION: FILE-Ω / SUBJECT: “THE COST OF FREE TRAVEL” An unofficial Administratum Whistleblower File -- A Warhammer 40,000 Account

The Imperium said we were safe. That the Emperor protects. That faith, regulation, and Geller fields make the void obey.

I repeated that line so many times it stopped sounding like comfort and started sounding like math. Faith as policy. Safety as formality. Until I saw what happens when both fail in the same breath.

I was a clerk aboard The Lucent Docket -- Administratum freighter, sector 992-LX. Our mission was banal: move data, balance ledgers, and report compliance. A ship of paperwork adrift between the stars.

The Warp was just transport. A door. A tunnel. The priests said it was safe. The machine-spirits agreed.

But every door has two sides. And every tunnel echoes.

The first flicker came during a routine jump to Hydraphur. The Geller field pulsed -- a heartbeat, nothing more. Still, the air thickened like blood.

Everyone froze. Then the hum returned, lights normalized, and the captain laughed. The crew clapped. But something else clapped with us.

You don’t hear laughter in the Warp. You feel it through metal.

After that, our reports stopped matching. Cargo tallies fluctuated between jumps. Names appeared on manifests that weren’t assigned to the ship.

“Duplicate entries,” the data-scribes said. Yet each had correct biometric stamps. Mine included.

When I checked the archive, I found two of me. Active. Certified. Both approved for duty.

One had signed the daily warp log while I was asleep.

The Imperium says the Geller field shields us from the Warp. But shields don’t stop curiosity -- they only slow it down. And the Warp is infinitely curious.

It doesn’t smash the walls. It reads the fine print. Finds the loopholes.

By the fifth jump, we’d stopped questioning the scratches in the ductwork or the way the light flickered in perfect rhythm with the heart. Not our hearts. The ship’s.

I started writing by hand because my dataslate kept reformatting reports into prayer scripts. One morning I woke to find I’d written an entire requisition form in my sleep. Recipient: Departmento Immaterium Oversight. Approval status: Received. Signature: mine. Date: tomorrow.

When I tried to delete it, the slate printed a message in red:

“Duplicate authorization detected. Please coordinate with yourself.”

We requested docking clearance at Bakka. The vox confirmed receipt. Then, a second voice replied -- the same message, half a second late, in reverse.

The astropath said it was just “signal bleed.” But when we exited the Warp, the stars looked wrong. Not misplaced -- reformatted.

One of the priests began stamping every page in triplicate. He said the Emperor now required more proof of faith. When he chanted blessings, a second mouth moved under his chin. His own voice, inverted. The medicae said exhaustion. The rest of us stopped sleeping.

On our seventh transit, something began updating the personnel roster mid-jump. At first, new clerks. Then, their supervisors. Then, entire departments. By the end of the week, half the ship was made of people who’d never existed -- yet all of them had signatures and payroll IDs.

We called it “manifest creep.” They called it “growth.” And when I tried to print the crew list, the printer jammed -- spitting out pages that felt warm.

I dream of the Warp now. Not monsters, not tentacles. Paperwork. Towers of it, breathing in unison. Every signature pulses like a heartbeat. Each approval seals something in.

I woke once to find my uniform crisp, new, and tagged with a note:

“Transfer complete. Welcome aboard.” No sender. No ship name.

The Imperium said we were safe. That the Emperor protects. But I’ve come to understand what “protection” means here.

It doesn’t mean safety. It means containment.

The Warp doesn’t invade. It integrates. And the Emperor’s bureaucracy is the perfect vessel.

If you find this transmission-- do not forward it. Do not archive it. Do not sign for receipt.

The Warp is listening through every audit trail. And it remembers signatures.

You think we travel through it. But I think it travels through us.

🐺 The subconscious always hears the truth first. Faith is a ledger. Belief is a contract. The Warp always collects.

I know they control the Ordo Tempestus, but I'm thinking more like a vast army of tanks that look like filing cabinets and stapler-shaped heavy bolters and so on. Power-armoured battle scriveners covered in requisition permit purity seals going on Rectification Crusades to forcibly make reality match with their records.
