++ ORDO HERETICUS: CLASSIFICATION FILE ++

++ COMPLIANT CITIZEN ++

AMALATHIAN

The load-bearing citizen. The galaxy stands on people it will never learn to spell.

Amalathians hold the most radical position of all: that nothing should change. The Imperium (creaking, vast, drowning in its own paperwork) is exactly what the Emperor intended, and every reform is a heresy wearing a helpful expression. You are the one the whole rotten cathedral quietly rests on.

Your method is attendance. You are on time. You fill the forms. You nod at the sermons and file your grievances through the proper channels, where they are lovingly archived and never read. Ten billion citizens do the same every day, and the galaxy stands because of it. This is not sarcasm. It is the horror of the thing.

Nothing will ever happen to you. That is the reward, and the sentence. You will never be purged, never promoted past visibility, never remembered by anyone but the census. Your form is in triplicate; it is the most interesting thing about you, and it will outlive you by ten thousand years.

++ OBSERVED BEHAVIOURS ++

  • Has never been late. Not once. It's in the file.
  • Files grievances in triplicate; keeps a fourth copy 'just in case'.
  • Can recite the sermon without hearing it.
  • Believes the queue is a form of prayer.
