We spent an afternoon walking down the busy street, chatting to residents and business owners to try and get an idea of how things have changed, the successes of this diverse community and the struggles it still faces. Retreating to their bedroom, June and Jennifer Gibbons spent their time playing with dolls and creating elaborate fantasies that they would sometimes record and share with their younger sister Rose — by this time, the only recipient of communication in the family. Interviewed for a New Yorker article in 2000, June said: In 1960, Aubrey went to stay with a relative in Coventry and soon qualified as a staff technician. Gloria followed, with Greta and David, several months later. [5] The twins were born on 11 April 1963, at a military hospital in Aden, Yemen, where their father had been deployed. The family soon relocated, first to England, and, in 1974, to Haverfordwest, Wales. [3] The twin sisters were inseparable and their language, a sped-up Bajan Creole, made it difficult for people to understand them. The Silent Sisters of a Raptora Cadre stand as the foremost warrior knights of the Chamber of Oblivion. Each Raptora is a sublime fighter of superlative skill and they often serve as the personal honour guard for

Shapiro, Harriet (27 October 1986). "A British Journalist Unravels the Tale of the Twins Who Wouldn't Talk". People . Retrieved 29 April 2019. If June and Jennifer Gibbons remained the “silent twins” for their entire life together, how does the public know so much about the inner workings of their life? It’s all thanks to a woman named Marjorie Wallace. I saw their parents and then they took me upstairs, and they showed me in the bedroom lots of bean bags filled with writings – exercise books. And what I discovered was that while they had been in that room alone, they had been teaching themselves to write. And I put [the books] in the boot of the car and took them home. And I couldn’t believe this, that these girls, to the outside world, hadn’t spoken and had been dismissed as being zombies, had this rich imaginative life.” We also tried to understand where the drugs being sold in clubs and on the city's streets come from - and why the demand is still so strong. She told Marjorie how Jennifer’s death had opened her up and allowed her to be free for the first time. She told her how Jennifer had to die, and how they had decided that once she did, it would be June’s responsibility to live for the other.

Under an Imperial governorship which displaced a squalid mess of rival competing petty kings and confederations that had held the planet beforehand, Pentacanaes had grown first into a frontier outpost, then into a port-of-call, with hundreds of Imperialis Auxilia regiments temporarily stationed there before mustering and redeployment to the front lines.

Upon being reunited, the twins hewed even more tightly to one another and became more withdrawn from the rest of the world. They no longer spoke to their parents, except for communicating by writing letters. We are mute but not without power, we are silent but not without resolve, we are untouchable but not without courage, we are sisters and have but one father. We are seekers and we shall find our prey, we are warriors and woe to those we oppose, the Emperor's mark is on our brow, all who deal with the Warp must beware, His Judgement and vengeance is ours to deliver!" They disappeared from Imperial history for nearly 1,500 standard years, until the Imperium faced annihilation at the hands of the massive Ork WAAAGH! led by the warlord known only as The Beast in the 32nd Millennium. The last vestiges of the Silent Sisterhood would play a key role in defeating this Ork WAAAGH! and diverting disaster. Joanne and Cath arranged a cremation for the four babies, inviting their mum and the infants' dads.

But as a postscript to the official account of the Cataclysm of Pentacanaes, it can be said for a fact that that particular Hive World endures; although it is a ravaged, half-empty domain of gloom and ashes now, steeped in old tragedy and long since left behind as the Imperium has expanded across the galaxy. The cadres are company-equivalent bodies, though it is rare for them to ever fight as one. As vigils are bound to uphold the Sisterhood's duties across a particular stretch of the Imperium, its cadres each carry out a particular facet of those duties. Some cadres investigate non-compliance with the Great Tithe, some are tasked with hunting down those Human psykers who have fled Imperial justice.
