It is a catechism of war. When a brother voxes ‘T-7-2-G’, he speaks his readiness to the Emperor. When the Armoury returns ‘R-8-2-B’, it is the Chapter answering: ‘You are seen. You are armed. Suffer not the unclean to live.’ Learn it. Bleed it. Burn it into your cogitators.” — Reclusiarch Mordikai, 4th Company, Angels of Absolution Would you like a printable cipher card, a short scene using IMPA codes in battle, or a generator script for random IMPA strings?
