TTS OST - Protean Politics 

-"Bikes wont make arguing policy any easier" -"You are arguing with the mechanicus, it literally will!"

"He does not need proof he's the Emperor's word." Fucking love that quote

-ACCESS DENIED. -You do realize that I'm a High Lord of Terra, yes? -You do realize that ACCESS DENIED.

This series started with the emperor of mankind bitching about the crap show his imperium has become and we somehow went to space politics done through techno rock space opera. One hell of an journey

"How dare you, you colossal mechanical nerd! He does not need proof, he's the Emperor's Word!" After all Kitten has gone through, seeing the others have his back like this is just fucking amazing.

"How DARE you, you colossal mechanical NERD. He does not need proof, he's the Emperor's Word!" Mfw Hammurabi actually WAS the best, dropped the greatest lines.

Somewhere in the Eye of Terror Noise Marines: I think someone is challenging us.

I kept imagining that the Fabricator General has simply modified himself to the point that he percieves all communication and indeed everything his mechanical senses relay to him in this musical way.

MY THERMIC REACTOR IS PULSATING WITH *EXCITEMENT!*

"How dare you, you colossal mechanical nerd! /He does not need proof, he's the Emperor's Word!" B A R S .

When two Bards roll a Charisma Skill Challenge against each other.

The real question is when do we hear kitten sing “I am the very model of a custodes captain general”

Imagine if all politics where like this, battle of the musicals.

Megatron: Soundwave, negotiate Soundwave: As you command, cusets eject. Operation: Politics

Subject identified. Branch: Music Rank: RU-vidr Name: Bzzrt Screw that...

Kitten is officially an Idol now.

This song is an absolute banger

"I'm the Ommissiah's voice, my word is as true!" "Oh really, you think so?" "(Shield Bang), Fuck you!" Greatest comeback and lines

Something new and unique, really, I didn't expect this to be in the show.

Emperor: Turns an army around with a single haiku Kitten: Claims ancient technology with a single rap battle Like father like son.

With this episode, we get one step closer to the idol/tts crossover we all deserve!

When this scene first came up, I just expected Kitten and the Fabricator-General to have a tense conversation with a few binary curse words flung about. I got something far better instead.

This sounds like it would take a considerable amount of time to render.

Requiescat in pace, TTS. Your untimely demise ensured your place among the legends. Don't believe me? Just ask Firefly.

HELL YEAH BOIS. Stringstorm came though and gives us the thing i think we all needed and wanted.

ALFA: "We need a cool way to show them speaking Binary!" StringStorm: "I know, Techno music!" _ThunderPsyker: "Monotone voices? ..nah that won't work."_ StringStorm: "Techno Music!" *Zegram: "Maybe... swirly graphics? Iunno..."* StringStorm: "We can use Techno music!!!" ALFA: "Oh I know, I know, I'll ask StringStorm to synch the voices to techno music." StringStorm: >_> Karl: "StRiNgStOrM, yOu'Re MuTeD..."

This is based, I was getting sick of rolling back the episode

"How dare you, you colossal mechanical nerd! He Does Not Need Proof, HE'S THE EMPERORO'S WORD!!!!" Not gonna like, that is possibly one of the most epic and bad ass lines out there. I love it.

“Don’t be sad because it’s over, be glad because it happened.”

The fallen shall be forever remembered as the Emperor's finest.... At least we got this amazing song before it ended...

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FORM OF POLITICS!! Edit holy shit 2.6k likes. FOR THE EMPEROR!

This is what techpriests hear when they talk to each other in binary. Yeah, jealous now aren't you?

Kitten's voice makes my body quiver...

I got recommended this on THAT day, the painful irony hurts

One of the lines is different, in the show they say "You have no proof I use it, your claim is absurd." But here its "Your claim is absurd you have no proof I use it."

You know, knowing how dedicated fans of 40k can be I wouldn't be surprised if at some point some mad lads banded together and made cosplays and recreated this scene as well as they could with the music in the background.

Wait did the emperor also had a sing off when he arrived on mars?

I love this, but I really love the tiny details in the music, like the song starting upbeat until kitten reveals why he is there, or the bells that begin to chime when the emperor is invoked

It's absurd how ridiculously good this is. Like, how does a goofy Warhammer 40k webseries about the Emperor of mankind getting a text to speech device installed result in one of the silliest and at the same time best and most powerful songs of our time?

I love that this stand-off was solved by the custodians basically going “oh yeah? Well i’m telling on you to dad”

This is Canon politic in wh40k

One line I don't seen anyone comment about: I love how the Fabricator General uses "friction and strife" as an insult. Like, 'how dare you bring friction here to my glorious efficient machines.' Just a really fitting line. It's given me ideas for my Rogue Trader campaign for when the party deals with the Mechanicum.

Legend has it was the Proteus Protocol was originally meant to be cyberdong viagra where you add the souls of blessed toasters to your own until someone accidentally did it the other way around.

How dare you colossal mechanical nerd?! He doesn't need proof, he's the Emperor's Word!! oh man, i love this song 😂

Tries to watch the video: Access denied Resets the router: Access denied Finally thinks it's fixed and goes back to watch TTS: Access....denied.

"He does not need proof, he’s the emperors word!" Pretty much sums up the empire's justice system

Me: Politics are boring Bruva Alfabusa: *cues autotune opera*

Hearing Kitten's voice ("Emperor's Words" indeed), I must ask again. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING ?!

*THE IMPERIAL SAINT HAS BLESSED US THIS DAY!* *Praise be!*

"That's just my drivers being crappy, see?" is a line that's stuck in my head for some reason...

oh yes i can now pester people with this song now

"It's a favour I seek, not some sort of brawl Were it not for my Lord I wouldn't be here at all." That part sound so smooth !! Truly excellent !

There's no such technology. You must be High... *STOMP STOMP STOMP* YOU LIE!!!!!

*Suddenly politics becomes IMMENSELY interesting!*

It is as glorious as the Emperor himself

Hammurabi and the others didn't have to go so hard, but they did. They did that for Kitten.

There's Cant Mechanicus, and then there's the Motive Force itself speaking to your soul.

Me: I dont want this on repeat in my head. Brain: Access DENIED.

Greetings custodes! How are you this daaa-aay?

"KEEP DAWDLING AND ON YOUR CABLES WE'LL PISS!" My favorite

I FUCKN KNEW IT, the second they started singinig I thought of you, goddamn

I watched this more than 10 times yesterday. I even memorized the time when the songs starts, 14:53.

This song is strangely amazing.

This is it chief. This song and the episode in which it featured are, I believe, the greatest heights of artistry, comedy, absurdity, religion, piety, and theatre that we have thus far achieved this century. Verily, ‘tis akin to a combination of Sabaton, Shakespeare, The Devil Went Down to Georgia, Tenacious D, and “I am the very model of a modern major-General”. Kitten is the very model of the modern Captain-General.

I wonder if the techpriest that Kitten took along with him shall ever get the toasters he promised him for installing TTS device back in the very first episode...

Fairwell fair Kitten.

This is one of the greatest things that ever was. The character development and awesomeness that been packed into these few minutes of brilliance can only be compared to the greatness and goldness of the Golden Throne and the Emperor himself.

Fun fact about the video this was made for: All the lyrics are translated to their equivilent in binary... except for the Mechanicus' Lords "Fine" which instead translates to "NEVER, I WILL HAVE YOU ASSASINATED!" Lucky for him none of the Custodies speak binary to be honest.

Everytime I hear this, I get the overwhelming urge to buy a load of Custodes. It just radiates pure awesome.

"You Claim is Absurd, You have no proof I use it" Always throws me off.

RIP TTS.

A thousand curses upon GW and their ridiculous copyright bullshit

This song came right out of nowhere, and it's been the most pleasant surprise I've had in a long time.

I cant stop seeing the mechicus lord with his fidget spinner

The finest politics I've ever heard.

"Were it not for my lord I'd not be here at all" - that sounded very biblical

That was a "FINEST POLITICAL" I ever seen 3 Pillar Abs Man

I just noticed there is a slight fault between the two versions. Live episode: "You have no proof I use it, your claim is absurd" StringStrom OST: "Your claim is absurd, you have no proof I use it!" 1:43

I love how the tension of the conversation was translated into the Harmony. When the fabricator greets them, the chores are all major and very light. Then, when kitten asks for a favor and start questioning the fabricator's ressurections, the chords go all minor, but still light instrumentation. But when the fabricator confront them, the instrumentation gets heavier, with more bass, and the harmony go darker and darker. Fantastic composition pal. Sorry my english, it's not my native language.

I heard that in Japan, politicians are supposes to sing their goals/promises in this style that sounds kinda like rap. Does that mean Mechanicum are weebs?

VICTORY!!! For the Captain-Generaaaaaaal!!!!!!

"He does not need proof, he's the emperors word" This is incredibly topical given what just happened to primaris

I've listened to this at least 3 times per day since the episode aired. Now one of my most fondest desires is a musical text to speech special. Like Les Miserables but TTS verse. I do not care how well they sing, Stringstorm is magic.

The Captain-General deserves some apple juice for this glorious victory

0:46 I like slight tonal shift that moment from happy go lucky toaster priest lord to "You're starting to piss me off"

"I'm the Omnissias Voice my is as true" "Oh you really think so? *shield bash* Fak youuu" Best part

“When you go and reject our emperors truths then darling I’m sorry but out go your screws” did he just threaten to break the fabricator generals legs?

Subject: Identified. Branch: Adeptus Custodes. Rank: Captain General. Name…Screw that.

"He does not need proof, he's the Emperor's word!" So badass and proud. The Fabricator General is definitely hiding something.

Were it not for my Lord, I'd not be here at all. The Emperor protects !

“Locating like-button... Make a u-turn”

"How dare you, you colossal mechanical nerd! He does not need proof, he's the Emperor's Word! When you go and reject our Emperor's truths, then, darling, I'm sorry, but out goes your screws!" "Oh you really think so?" *clap clap* "FUCK YOU!" Two of the greatest lines I've ever heard.

You put this on Spotify and I will listen to it on loop 50 times, you have my guarantee. Just give me the word.

That was ... the finest politics I had ever seen!

It is a national tragedy that they are no longer allowed to do this show !!!

protean politics - Lyrics [mechanicus high lord] Greetings custodes, how are you this day? Have you brought me any cool ancient tech to displa-ay? [Captain general] No, we have not, but to ask you a favor. [mechanicus high lord] that's all too bad, 'cause I'd like a new shaver. [Captain general] The Adeptus Mechanicus ranks you have climbed. Even though you seem to explode all the time. This seems quite suspicious, you have to agree. [mechanicus high lord] That's just my drivers being crappy, see? [Captain general] Then how is it that you can keep surviving these blast? To all the other techpriests, it badly contrast. your sentience it seems to return from the dead. How this could be you might want unsaid. [mechanicus high lord] You come to my planet with friction and strife? You somehow believe that I can flee the afterlife? Please do tell me, fleshling, is this some kind of goof? I don't recall that you brought any actual proof? [Captain general] It's a favour I seek, not some sort of brawl. Where it not for my Lord I'd not be here at all. Now, tell me, where is the Proteus Protocole. Withhold information and we'll be your downfall. [mechanicus high lord] You... you... you alright? [Captain general] Sound mate, go on, where's the Proteus protocol? [mechanicus high lord] There's no such technology, you must be high. [All behind] YOU LIE! It has been confirmed to be in your supply! [mechanicus high lord] I'm the mechanicus' Lord, you dare treat me like this? [Captain soldier 1] Keep dawdling and on your cables we'll piss! Where the protocol is we still haven't heard. [mechanicus high lord] Your clame is absurd, you have no proof I use it! [Captain soldier 2] How dare you, you colossal mechanical nerd! He does not need proof, he's the Emperor's Word! When you go and reject our Emperor's truths, Then, darling, I'm sorry, but out goes your screws! [mechanicus high lord] I'm the Omnissiah's voice, my word is as true! [Captain Soldier 2] Oh you really think so? FUCK YOU! [Captain soldier 3] How about we go ahead and call our Emperor? He's got a Text-to-Speech now, - [Captain general] - and a fiery temper. [Captain soldier 4] Here's an Astropath, why don't we make the call? We'll check in and see what he thinks of this stall? [mechanicus high lord] That you have the gall! [Captain soldier] Oh are you gonna bawl? [mechanicus high lord] I hate you all. [Captain general] This is getting banal. Please bring us the Protocol. [mechanicus high lord] Fine. [Captain soldier 2] Yuss! [All behind] Victory for the Captain-Generaaaaal.

This was probably my favourite part of the whole episode.

1: Love your new RU-vid pfp. 2: This entire thing had me laughing my ass off, banging my head to the beat, and rewinding so much all day.

_Salutes_ Goodbye, TTS. Emperor bless.

The finest politics I have ever seen.
