Just Imperial iconry, aquilas and a couple purity seals, purity seals not being too common with the common trooper.
>They resumed for a while before silencing their weapons, the commander, wearing his iconic, battle-scarred black painted plasteel deathmask turns his head to acknowledge the Arbites
Do yuo know? Who we are? And do yuo know, what population do?
We remove heretic, yuo have much heretic because riots only increase as removal of heretic scum, disorder breed heresy. Much disorder, much heretic, much removal.
Yuo, either assist in removal of heretic, or remove self from premises. Or be removed.
Make choice militÃ. Or may find self branded heretic for delay of Emperors will.
Also of spare any lhos? Mine ran out and have tendency of get very impatient when no lhos to smoke. Impatience makes trigger finger very itchy, and branding of heretic is much easier with no patience.

Is not of right Anatoli?
>He wished to give an example, which Anatoli could provide, for his family included a rather high ranking inquisitor.

>The commander digs into his webgear, finding an icon of the inquisiton, (not the regular stormtrooper kind either) and pretty much pushing it against the Arbites' face.
I repeat question, yuo want branding as heretic for protecting heretic and quick execution, yuo want join in, or will yuo fuck off and steer traffic or ticket the heretics for parking Tauroxes belonging to another presinct in middle of road and setting on fire?
>So the stormie commander seems to either be some sort of -][- official, a -][- stormie, or (not very likely but still possible) an Inquisitor.
>And his requests are still the same, Join in, fuck off, or die.
>The options are on the table.
>And the stormtroopers under this man's command are visibly impatient, as they are not doing what they were told to do because a cocky arbite came and started waving his dick around
>And what they are even more displeased about is that their commander accepted the challenge and whipped out his bigger badder dick. Metaphorically speaking.
>The stormtroopers reveal the (standard issue) -][- Stormie symbols on the chests of their armor
>But what is surprising is that the commander of these stormtroopers, not only carries the most trophies, Ork teeth,Tyranid bones, Eldar spines, all adorned with inquisitorial purity seals, but he carries an -][- pendant, the kind usually given to either inquisitors, Grey knights, Adepta sororitas under inquisitorial command, and rarely to inquisitorial stormtroopers.
>And the commander is not big enough to be a grey knight (and he hasn't painted his armor with the arbites blood yet)

You deaf, guy? You need to calm down. This is the Penal Legion, not Cadia's finest. You don't operate based on efficiency, you operate based on how to get out of here as soon as possible. That's how I did it, and how you should too.

That's a good way to get shot, here. The vast majority of people here are here for violent crimes. You fuck with them, you go into the ground. This is your first real warning, I guess: Do not play by the rules here. Nobody else does, and you'll die a Hell of a lot sooner if you do.

Alright hearings me out idiots!
I respect that svoloch of arbite! So we calm down, move back, try regroup with the people who have ships in orbit because we really need lift off this shit of piece rock.
Maybe they even give us clear objective other than "that planet has heresy, purge it"!
Anatoli! You take point, Boris! You're second!
Novislav! With me, we cover middle!
Jevgeni! Cover back with Vladja!
Mishka! Sergei! You take rear middle behind me and Novislav!
Now lets move out, return fire only, we not want piss off arbite because he make me respect him. Is need big balls for say to me he will shoot if angry.
Heretic come with fist or stick or pipe or whatever, shoot when close.
Heretic come with child, make sure is heretic before purge.
Understandings? No remove if not sure is heretic, and if heretic no attack, you no shoot!

>He salutes, despite this is just a radio message.
I've got a radio frequency coming from stormtrooper Dmitry coming through, you might want to move it to an inquisitorial channel.

>>46010544
Yes sir! Right away!
>Switches back to Dmitry
>>46010283
Managed to establish contact, sir!
New frequency 534.22, Inquisitorial encription protocol is a go, sir, you'll both speak in privacy.
>>46010569
>scratches his beard, trying to remember details
She rode away on some sort of motorbike. Her armour is red. What else... She pretty much looks like a Sister of Battle now. The rest I can remember is sex stuff.
>>46010468
Oh, he won't even notice it was gone... Considering my endurance, I won't be using it for long. I just want to see if it works for my experiments...
