> grim darkness of the far future

That's a reference to Warhammer 40k, a popular miniatures wargame from Games Workshop. Their quote is

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.

It could be kind of satirical, if only to link recent events with the ideas of

  * future technology as impossibly obscure
  * a psionic emperor who consumes minds
    to protect humankind from cosmic
    terrors
  * tech-priests, who maintain ancient tech
  * "machine spirits," who must be appeased
