Line 9:
** Cain and Jurgen are saved from genestealers by a mysterious figure in golden [[Power Armor]], and Cain admits he was stupefied to discover it was Amberley.
{{quote|'''Cain:''' With all due modesty, I have to say I recovered remarkably fast under the circumstances.
'''Amberley:''' So he says. I recall a distinct resemblance to a stuffed fish for quite some time.
** Not to mention, the footnotes are chilly enough to sprout icicles whenever Amberley comments on Cain's [[Really Gets Around|experience with women]].
** Zemelda Cleat uses a variety of bizarre slang terms, the meaning of which can '''sometimes''' be deduced. After one of them, "flyposting for slash gigs," Amberley footnotes simply: "No, I don't know either."
** In ''The Greater Good'', there's a sequence in which she's trying to figure out, from clues in what Cain says, just which ship he was aboard at a certain time. Certain statements contradict deductions based on other remarks, and Amberley finally says, "I give up."
* 'Then the prophet spake: saying "Frak this, for my faith is a shield proof against your blandishments".' Just the fact that a splinter cult worships Cain as the living embodiment of the God-Emperor's will at all...
* Even in the grim darkness of the far future, people stepping on rakes is good for a laugh.
