We recently got new information up in the hab blocks! the scab’s allies have a leader called Urmal, although we don’t know if he’s the overall leader of the dregs or simply the figurehead in charge of dealings with the scabs.
this is pretty big, because this is the first named member of the cult itself we’ve gotten. everything til now has been focused on the scabs and their leadership. i think this line got added with the skulls update which might mean the new mission will have us encounter Urmal, or at least more of the cult of admonition’s command structure.
also i have a hard time not hearing “urmal” as “nermal” like the garfield comics in the paper.
I’m pretty sure one of the nobles in the Morrow/Hestia led version also mentions the same name, but I only got it once and it was gone before I could read it, coming at a very bad time as it did.
He’s yet to be unveiled, as well as the Genetor Magos Biologis Kharib. High hopes for both, Mike Geary does such a great job as the Dreg Gunner/Enginseer Kayex-8.
I recall that. It’s on a hab dreyko that is led by morrow. He’s eaves dropping on wolfer throughout. Urmal is in charge of the phage tree.
I wish that hab dreyko would have been a more interesting level in terms of how it’s setup.
Don’t get me wrong, the changes are nice… but…
I think that we should have seen an ever growing amount of tendrils until we reach the phage tree… it would have done a better job of implying how we are getting closer to the source. Also, it’s very jarring how there’s just a door that leads out and the corruption basically ceases. Instantly. It would have been cooler if after we destroyed the phage tree that there was some sort of indicator of the phage tree losing its grip on reality and the corruption retreating back to the warp.
