Making guardsman into a space marine

By felismachina, in Only War

That kind of sounds like a plot hole. A nanovirus Gestalt conscience controlled via Warp magic, yet somehow capable of forming a Skynet-type sentience that is capable of feeling remorse at being enslaved? And then not being enslaved enough to prevent it from disclosing critical information undermining its master's efforts?

Well, that's just it. Voldorius stole a piece of it and used that to force it to do his will. Mostly blackmail, some warpery.

wait, how do you blackmail a nanovirus?

And teh true reason it betrayed vodorius was (in my mind) something like "Dafuq? I'm a DAoT Nano virus! I'm cool enough on my own! I don't need no chaos daemon holding my leash. Screw you voldo!' :P

IIRC He used it's control, (and this has been a while, so I may have this wrong) as a bargaining chip.
