There was nothing special about the room the girls had gathered in, it was large enough to hold the four hundred or so young women but otherwise was only notable for the raised platform and the podium at the front, and the row of Skitarii warriors who stood in front to keep the frightening girls away. Some were bratty and entitled hive elite, others were scared daughters of the factory workers who had been pulled from their families and shifts without any warning. Others were tech adepts from the mechanicum, and a few were bewildered refugees still reeling from the war that had brought them to this world. They all had eon thing in common though, genetics. They all had a genetic trait that made them eligible for this program and the procedures it would subject them to, weather they woudl survive was less a concern than a reason to get as many as possible. A huge Magos, now so much machine there might not be any man left. Came in through a door and stepped up the raise tot he podium.<br/>"Welcome, young ones." He said, his voice amplified so it cut through the noise of the chatter to draw everyone attention. "I am sure you have many questions and wonder why you are here. I am sure many of you are wondering when you will see your families again. I am sorry to inform you that many of you will not. Our world and the Imperium are under dire threats. The soldiers of the Emperor cannot protect us, so we must protect ourselves. You all have a unique genetic trait that make you a candidate to receive genetic modifications to transcend you to the same super human levels as the adeptus astartes. From now on you will all live and train together, some of you will die, the rest we will turn into unstoppable soldiers to save this world and it's people and all others." The speech was uninspiring and left many questions that were not answered, as soldiers moved through the crowd, breaking the girls up into groups of sixty and taking them through the metal tunnels of the hive to barracks where they woudl be staying.
