After seeing horrors to fly your skin off, the silence here is deafening. Even when you see meltas opening up on your front lines and artillery shells tearing up the skies at least you know the nature of war you are waging. Now however... nothing, enough silence to drown in to. More than enough for any man to handle and the memories, now the have the time to creep back. I couldn't hear the back in the day, too preoccupied surviving and all. They scratch behind my forehead, bleed in to my eyes. Even this by itself could be manageable somehow, there is alcohol here, but the future laying in wait. This just isn't. I do not know where death would come, neither it's form or nature. Because I am sure as hell, death is the fate of every guardsman and it will come for me.
I wish I was somewhere else.

DA! DA! DA! DA!
>slips
bloody hell!
>>45299698
Ah, jackson! Care to join us for breakfast?
>>45299671
Certainly.
The Bolt Pistols were gifts given to our family by a Captain of the Blood Angels, I believe......8th Company for services rendered, aiding them in their duties to an exceptional degree. Both were received.....twenty five hundred years ago, give or take.
The Bolter was given to a Lord General of our family some four hundred ago for a similar task.
The Powersaber however, I believe that entered our family some six thousand years, when a Regiment led by one Colonel Bernard Wellesley led an Assault that allowed the Blood Angels to recover some injured Brothers, along with the geneseed of more, unfortunately slain ones. Would have cost him his head if it weren't for the Captain at the time being VERY annoyed at that prospect.

Thank you.
>pours a cup of recaf
Well, you're going to be making a deal with the Magos. The thing is, deals with him work both ways. You will get almost unlimited resources but you'll be one of his agents if he needs it. If he needs something that only an Inquisitor can do he'll ask and he expects it done. Normally the people working with him don't interact but since we're on the same ship we'll most likely be working together, hence us being partners or on a team. This also means I'll have to trust you more.

Hrmh, interesting that the Magos didn't mention that himself, I really do dislike invisible fineprint, I believe I'll be having words with him and shall have to rethink that proposal.....but nevertheless that was surprisingly rather painless, would you wish the Stormtroopers to fetch you anything else while they're getting their own food?

That body got, ah, repossessed by it's rightful owners. A group of Magos abducted me just after we landed on Preatoria. Blows were struck, deals were made, I had my brain cut out and put in a new body, and a lucky Reductor got a shiny very old toy. End of the day, I'm no longer an entirely metal death machine, but this body is still based off a war servitor.
I'm nominally a Mechanicus attaché to Inquisitor Alan, but that's just what it says on paper because I wanted to come back to the unit and he was the most important person I had memory of. That said, I'm also still technically both a member of and the property of the Cult Mechanicus. I report to the Arch Magos when all is said and done, but I take orders from you Allen.
