While Orikan stays serious for most of the time, Trazyn is doing his jokes and *little pranks* on him. (for example: throwing a Genestealer/Tyranid at Orikan just for the giggles or showing off the statue/church window the humans made to honour trazyn fight off the ork invasion) Space Battle: A lengthy one at that. When Orks invade Serenade and threaten the Tomb, Trazyn defends the planet's surface while Orikan destroys their ships.

numbers whose cube is less than 2, while \(R\) includes all the rational numbers whose cube is greater than 2. Since there is Painting the Medium: The same scene at the tribunal is repeated multiple times with slight differences, to show Orikan's attempts to Save Scum. To get Orikan's attention, Trazyn goes to a council of Necron leaders who act as a pseudo government in preparation for the Great awakening. orikan is forced to comply otherwise his reanimation protocols will be canceled, rendering him mortal. The Council spends a decade debating which Phaeron to awaken to act as a judge. The narration directly states this is an absurdly rushed form of Necron judicial process which otherwise might take centuries. precise value the sequence of approximations converges to. 3.2 Limits, infinite sums, and the extended real numbers; \(+\infty\) and \(-\infty\) Orks. Nothing do add there. While they encounter or fight against/alongside other species i think the whole part about the ork invasion is just what you would expect from Orks in a Necron book. Now think about this: Trazyn is kinda interested in their culture and of course explains some things about them to Orikan, who himself is just extremely confused. Orks are funny cause explaining them to a friend who is new to 40k is the BEST. so yeah. Orks.

Before the being called the Emperor revealed Himself, before the rise of the Aeldari, before the Necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence. Time Skip: Played with. Most of the book concerns Trazyn and Orikan's repeated visits to the planet Serenade over the course of thousands of years, and each time the planet has changed markedly. To the two of them, however, their Time Dissonance means their experiences are more or less continuous. Mistaken Identity: One of Trazyn's exploits ended up this way, as a world he accidentally wound up saving from an Ork invasion ended up seeing Trazyn and his Necron legions as a chapter of oddly-adorned Space Marines, christening them as members of the Silver Skulls chapter and the planet erecting statues in their honor. Trazyn recounting the whole endeavor to Orikan somehow manages to make the Necron's Perpetual Smiler nature even bigger in delight by the absurdity of it all.

Trazyn and Orikan FIGHT ORKS in SPACE. The two are forced to go up against a huge ork pirate fleet and in the process, Trazyn accidentally wound Orikans pride. He lays out a plan to successfully counter the Ork fleet before Orikan essentially says the equivalent of "I remember how to fight Orks dammit!" It comes off as a such a weird father teaching his son to ride a bike moment.

sum_{i=1} Orikan on the other hand witnessed such immense power that he himself was frightened of it. All he wanted was to make (himself mostly but also) every Necron a god-like entity but when he himself ascended into literal godhood, he goes mad afterwards. encompassing accounts of infinity, such as Moore (1990/2019; for another recent treatment that includes extensive discussion It does require a little bit of knowledge of the Warhammer 40K universe to fully appreciate, but if you like sci-fi dark comedies, it is well worth the little investment to learn what an "Aeldari" is or what is meant by a Necron's "Necrodermis." brings us to the topic of the next section. 2. Infinity in mathematics: a brief historical overview

The Ending is just.. epic. The battle was so intense and important that Trazyn, who really really really really cares about the past and literally breaks necron rules to perserve ancient artifacts, gives Orikan the Aeldari Stone-Thing to give his rival the strength to fight off the shards... wich he does - and him really worrying about Orikan and even carrying him out of the Tomb made them feel like unhealthy-"to the death"-rivals becoming friends.

Speaking of, everything in Necron society takes longer, especially theatre. There's a play for the entire War in Heaven and it has a spinoff covering the story of a renegade Necron king who tried to fight the C'tan. It's over a decade long with no intermission since neither the players nor audience need to eat or go to the bathroom (also it's impossible for the players to forget their lines). Whenever this play is brought up it's clear none of the Necrons who see it enjoy it, but it does help to escape boredom. I think both of them should have changed after that experience and maybe even work together for the future of the Necrons. But nope: Trazyn hates Orikan again cause of reasons and Orikan hates Trazyn cause he stole his waifu head. After nearly destroying one another repeatedly while clashing over the Orb, the Necron council finally summons both Necrons and forces them to work together on the pain of having both of their reanimation abilities canceled. The council views them working together as a greater punishment than death since Trazyn and Orikan loathe each other so deeply by this point. Sitcom Arch-Nemesis : The fued between the titular duo. Either this, or Arch-Enemy, as their antics range from comically petty to horrifyingly cruel.
