Inquisitorial Penal Regiment /tg/: Wartime Overtime Edition

>Diane would be checking over her bionics and humming to herself.

>>49932857
Emperor 'El Tee', you gotta loosen up, we're all alive like you said, ain't we?
>Contrary to their usual behaviour, the Tankers are not in fact, goofing off. Rather, they are modifying their tank.

>>49932857
>With a grim look upon his face, Malak would stare down at what was once the man know as "Jean Caeser". His lower torso completely missing and charred, as he lays upon a slab in the Tau base's morgue.
>With a small sigh, Malak would lift up the charred remains of Jean's right hand, before placing an empty brass shell casing into it's palm, before placing both hands over its former owner's chest.
>He would then do the same for the other forty-three Scions who's bodies they had managed to recover and bring to the morgue.

A bullet to show the Valkyrie who carries you to the Emperor that you had indeed died fighting in his name... You will be missed Jean...

>>49932959
>He'd glare daggers at the sergeant, before returning to work alongside the 3rd company.
>After all... these barricades weren't gonna repair themselves.

>>49932959
>a man in a red uniform, golden-red trenchcoat, a flat commisar hat, neatly trimmed goatee, loving smile and some barely noticeable Slaaneshi markings would approach them
"Pulled some strings with Slaanesh, what do you think?"

>>49933044
>Oddball shrugs, before swapping out his wrench for a screwdriver.
Well someone sure got a lot of sodium in his diet today...

>>49933067
>Twitch would be sat leaning against the wall, his rifle across his lap.
>He would look up and laugh a little too loudly at the comment before shutting himself up and twitching nervously.

>>49933060
>The new outfit earns him a moment of halted work and a round of thumbs up.
Looks nice.
>"Is very.....'important' look Kamerad, it's good to have officer looking man again."
>Vana nods at Erwin's comment.
>"I like the hat" both Churchill and Steve say in unison.
>Anya just gives another thumbs up.

>>49933087
>Oddball nods, then returns to work swapping out parts.

>The occasional sound of bolter fire would ring out across the now Imperial owned Tau base, as the Space Marines of the Broken Shields would find, and execute any Tau forces that were still hiding in and around the base.

Filthy Xenos... I don't know what the Inquisitior sees in you or your blasted technology...

>>49933109
>there are far fewer tau here than one would expect

>>49933099
>Twitch would limp across the room, using his rifle as a crutch until he reaches the tank.
>he nervously pats it like a man patting an apparently violent horse before speaking up.
N-nice tank, how fast it go?

>>49933060
>The force Commander, alongside many of his men, would seen to be giving Kane "a look".
>A look not unsimilar to blinding rage, mixed with the need to rip the man apart, piece by bloody heretical piece.

>>49933154
>>49933109
>One of the Broken Shields sergeant would make his way up to the force Commander.
>"Commander! All Tau forces on site save those captured by Theta Gamma, have been eliminated as per your orders."
Understood Sergeant Othello. Have the men keep an eye out for those blasted Dark Eldar. The last thing we need is their foul presence to ruin this victorious moment.
>"Understood Sir!"
>The sergeant would make his way off.

Damnedable witches...

>>49933156
The max is 70 kilometers per hour, or 43 and a half miles, whichever you prefer. Not bad considering all it has to carry.

>>49933099
>Looks at Anya
"A-Anya, darling? May I have your presence for a moment"
>nervously shakes a hand in his pocket

>>49933243
Wow, that's faster than I can run, I bet it makes a real nice noice when you run over Tau and stuff...
>His eyes would widen picturing Tau being smashed beneath the steel tracks.

>>49932980
>With burial detail now complete for the moment. Malak would make his way towards the base's Airfield. A grim look marking his face as he makes his way through the passages.

>>49933262
>Anya looks at Kane and tilt her head, before a look of understanding, and the accompanying blush spreads across her features.
>"Uh...s-sure....let me j-just..." Anya finishes replacing some components, and sets her tools down then drops off the tank to follow Kane.

>>49933290
>takes her to a more quieter corner an pulls out a vial
"You drink half...I drink half"
>he drinks his half, a sour expression as he gives it to Anya

>>49933320
>Anya downs the remaining liquid, her reaction nowhere near as negative as Kane's. "L-Lemons? I....d-didn't imagine that...."

>>49933273
Maybe, but Hammerhead's main role is to sit at long range and pick off priority targets.

>>49933241
Stealth teams. Report.

>"The Ta'unar supremacy armor factory is gone, Shas'O. These savages have wiped everyone, civillian casualties are mostly caused by Poisoned Shuriken weapons and blades, warriors and evacuation teams terminated by primitive bolter shells. Armors destroyed or bandalized, nothing we can rescue here."

Return to the mainland. I am asking for a special set of reinforcements to make planetfall.
Shas'O M'Lao's doom was not knowing his enemies' next moves, I don't plan on having more blood being shed because of such lack of vision, secure the perimeter around the landing pads and make sure they remain unreachable to the invasion force. Our Auxilliary allies will lead us to the best course of action

>>49933365
>she hears in her mind
>"I despise the sour taste. But I was hoping you would prefer it over the taste of arse in your mouth. Are you ready?"
>he looks at her questioningly

>>49933365
>smiles
that's my role too.
>he would pat the sniper rifle slung over his back.

>>49933393
>>49933365
>A voice would be heard a few meters away from them coming from the direction of the base.

Personally, I find there to be nothing better than having a sniper cover your back. Means I don't have to worry as much about being sniped myself while I'm running through a city street.

>>49933388
>Anya stumbles at the sudden 'intrusion' and blinks her eyes. "I...weird....but, yes...yes I am."

>>49933393
It's a pretty useful piece of kit to have. Just need to make sure they don't get close.

>>49933447
>he would jump up and scramble for his knife before calming down and putting it away again.
y-yes sir that's what we do best and s-sometimes I get to kill the Xenos with the fancy hats.

>>49933477
>Underneath his helmet, one of his brow would be raised questioningly at the mentioning od the word "Sir".
>The Scion would shake his head, before tapping the painted on rank insignia on his left carapace shoulder pauldron. The tank of "Private".

I'm not a "Sir" Guardsman...

>>49933476
>"Fine"
>the different techniques, finesses and tricks Kane knows are tranversed to Anya
>through all this, she hears a quiet voice
>"Fucking marines, eyeing me like I openly just run around and scream Slaanesh....here I thought people would stop giving me looks if I put this ons...and to Anya and Vic. They didn't deserve to get judged for helping this old Slaaneshi bastard...they're saints for keeping me around, should've just dumped me on the nearest planet. Heh, and they're still the only reason I keep around these days"
>Kane nervously looks around

>>49933527
r-right, s-sorry.
>he'd look at the insignia before tapping the explosive collar around his neck
still, you're probably more respected than scum like me.
>>49933476
w-well if you are a good shot they never get too close.
>he would smile smugly but the smile would fade fast into a nervous twitch.

>>49933552
>Kane first feels shock, obviously from all the 'tricks of the trade' that Anya suddenly knows, it seems a bit overwhelming, but...there's the feeling of having a good reason to not be overwhelmed there too.
>There is also another feeling there, a blend of intense sadness, and also a....'fuzzy warmth'. Finally, Kane feels the very physical sensation of being hugged by the Felinid. "W-We c-care about you too....."

>>49933610
>"A-Anya? How did you..."
"I dropped my guard..I..I never dropped m-my guard"
>he hugs her back
"I love you and Vic so much"
>he smiles

>>49933555
>Again, his brow would be raised questioningly.

Not as much as you would think Trooper... I'm an Inquisitorial sponsored Scion. Meaning, that unlike my fellow Scions, I didn't grow up within the Schola Progenium as an orphan, before being taken in by the Ordo Tempestus for years long training.

>>49933555
It happens eventually, best you can do is be ready for when they do, that way you can kill them dead.

>>49933648
>"You're like an uncle you know. I would say dad, but....well Oddball is sort of 'dad' already...and we all do care." This was thought, not said, the vague feeling that it seemed too important to stutter through being there.

>>49933654
Hell! I was "supposed" to become an Inquisitorial Scion after my training was complete. But my Inquisitor up and commited suicide that day my training finished.

>>49933707
kill em dead yeah haha,
>Twitch would bob his head to an unknown rythema nd walk away.
>>49933654
>>49933721
>he would awkwardly pat Malak on the shoulder as he passes by
good luck out there, don't forget I've got your back aha.

>>49933707
>if someone was to look at Kane, he'd see tears running down his cheeks
>"Uncle...Uncle is good enough for me"
>he'd hug her for a while before letting her at a point that would be deemed awkward

>>49933730
>Hidden by his helmet, and even then, only existing for the soan of half a second. A small smile would creep upon his face, before quickly disappearing.

You too...

>>49933730
>Oddball shrugs and returns to his repairs.

>>49933756
>Anya is pretty teary herself, but in a good way
>She lets go at the appropriate time as well. "Y-You're a nice p-person you know...d-don't know why anyone h-has a problem...."

>>49933799
>"Markings, dear"
>puts his hand over his mark of Slaanesh
>"They only care about markings"
>"Let's go back to Oddball and the others, eh?"

>>49933773
>>49933799
>Twitch would limp away, leaving the two men in an awkward silence.
>he would limp until he'd come across a guitar leaning against a wall in the corner, it's burnt and badly damaged but he picks it up anyway.
>unsure of what to do with it he looks out across the hanger, at friends and family together.
>a single tear woudl trickle down his face before he starts to play.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTj-4KLB2_c

>>49933892
>"M-Mhm..." Anya nods and starts heading back to the tank.

>It's at this point, that three "Devourer" class dropships would decend from orbit. Their course trajectory in line with the newly captured Tau base.
>Flying alongside them would be several wings of Fury Interceptors acting as escorts.

>Is doing repairs to the Crown's rotors.

>>49932857
>Is fiddling with a chainsword he has "found"
>Seems to be carving something on its handle

>>49934264
>limps over to Ragaa and pats him on the back
gl-glad to see you not dead.
>he'd smile at him nervously, fiddling with the strings on his new guitar.

>>49934152
>Within moments, the gigantic troop transports would extend their landing gear, before slowly landing upon the recently repaired airfield.
>The Fury's, their escort job now complete, would return back to the orbiting fleet above, just as the several massive loading ramps would appear from the front and sides of the massive transports.
>Hundreds of men, dozens of tanks and walkers, and hundreds of boxes full of supplies would begin disembarking down the ramps, before collecting near the prow of their respective ships.
>All in all, a full two regiments worth of men and supplies.

>>49934262
"VIC!"
>waves to her
"Feel like talkin' with us?!"

>>49934303
Well, my job was to guide people on hunting trips, so I've had my share of walks on Dusk.

>>49934348
>Looks down at them from fixing the engines.
>Waves back
Hey guys! Just a second I need to make sure this one runs!

>>49934262
>Anya smiles, quite shyly at that, but decides to leave Vic to her work. Probably got important things to do instead of chatting with Anya of al-
>>49934348
>Nevermind then, she thinks.

>>49934368
good good, I men not good must be awful but at least you're not dead aha.
>he would nervously fiddle with the guitar, a string would snap and he'd swear under his breath.

>He wakes up from his coma and recieves the inquisitions letter, reading trough the important document about his future he sighs and gets up

>He dresses himself properly in the Comissarant's trentch coat and hat, making sure he looks his best as allways before proceeding down the hall to see his regiment for the last time

>he walks into the room and says

"Surprise Inspection! Form a line guardsmen!"

>>49934405
Not that awful, except for the curses over the world. The sickness and beasts we could live with. Even the night blighters were fine if yer knew what to do with them.

>>49934306
>Disembarking from one dropship, would be the familiar Redcoats, and pith helmets of the guardsmen of a Praetorian light infantry Regiment.
>From another dropship, would be the Green flak armour, and standard issue helmets of a Cadian mechanized regiment.
>From the third dropship, would be a mixture of Tech-priests, and four full companies worth of Kreig's finest. The Death Corps of Kreig, in the form of an artillery regiment.

>All of these men, would begin to collect near the prow of their respective dropships, as they await further orders.

>>49934471
>Twitch would cry out in terror before lining up.
sir!
>the guitar would be at his side and he'd be visibly shaking

>>49934396
>>49934348
>>49934370
>After making sure the engines run perfectly fine, Vic comes closer to the pair and pecks Anya's lips.

How are you doing guys?

>>49934492
Mist take me...
>Falls into line, holding the chainsword in place of the lasgun issued to him

>>49934493
>He inspects the loyal guardsman
"At ease, son"

>>49934471
Diane would saddle up and stand in line, waiting for the commissar to pass.

>>49934492
>Malak would watch as the dropships begin disgorging their contents onto the air field. A curious look on his face.

>>49934495
"Oh, fine, I was just giving Anya some..."Friendly advice""
>he smiles
"Hey, do the Tau drink tea?"

>>49934519 was supposed to be answer to >>49934471

>>49934543
Sir!

>The security has been increased to maximum, planetary invasions are serious bussiness after all.

>The commander of the FOB, oversees the battlefield reports as the facotries speed the production of the new walkers, meant to be mass produced for the 4th sphere of expansion, should they prove useful.

Looks like it will be a trial by combat, the Imperials are reinforcing their foothold on the planet and will surely be heading this way soon...

>>49934546
>>49934560
I see the regiment is recovering, good

>inspects the men
At ease, soldiers

>>49934471
>>49934495
>Anya blushes rather 'nicely' at the kiss, and would return it.....but the Surprise inspection has herself, as well as the rest of the Tankers scrambling over.
>They do sort of look messy, given that they'd been working on their tank.

>>49934556
I think so, they look like the kind of people that like the natural methods.

>>49934616
>he stops at Anya as he inspects the tank crew
I have not forgotten that you have saved my life back on that ship. I would like to apologise for my words and actions against you and your kind, i see now that even the comissarant can miss-judge people on first glance. I am glad to know we have brave and dedicated guardsmen as you serving under the banner of the imperium. So thank you.. for saving my life.

>he gives her and the squad a salute

At ease.

>>49934584
>he would relax at this before moving away from the line to sit in the corner and re-string his guitar.

>>49934617
>>49934584
>he'd go off and come back with two cups of tea
"Do you know where she'd be? The poor girl must be scared, she's in a base full of Imperials, Marines nevertheless"
>gives Guerre a salute the Discipline masters gave long ago

>>49934584
>>49934616
>Diane would be at ease, noticing the group gathering around Oddball she would saunter over there looking for a chat or perhaps a punch up.

>>49934690
>The Tankers salute back, even Oddball salutes properly, before standing at ease, as requested.
>"I....t-thank you sir." Anya also looks rather embarrassed, usually officers don't give her praise after all.

>>49934745
>The Tankers nod at Diane.

>>49934492
>Soon enough, the men would be given their orders, and would disperse.
>The Tech-priests and Kriegers would begin to set up shop, as pre-built fortifications are shipped down directly from orbit.
>Massive flak guns are quickly put together near the airfield, and heavy bolter turrets are put into place along the edges of the base.
>The Kregiers are quick to pick up on the mechanicum defense patterns, and two of their companies would begin to construct trenches, and other defensive measures around them, while the rest of their forces begin to deploy the artillery pieces.
>The Cadians would begin to move their tanks and sentinels into a better position, preparing for deployment on planet.
>The Praetorians would begin setting up their forces as well.
>With their contents deployed, the devourers would take off back to orbit.

>>49934690
>Hastily swaps positions of his new chainsword and lasgun, now holding the correct weapon in his hand

>>49934519
>Once again, the always peppy Corporal Melissa Vaulse, would jump upon the unsuspecting Feral worlder. Wrapping her arms around his neck, and pressing herself against him, with a massive smile on her face.

Hey there Ferry! Ya miss me? I betcha did!

>>49934791
>they may or may not have seen a smile forming on his face as he continued on

>>49934721
>inspects the guardsman
..Acceptable.
>returns the salute
at ease

>>49934810
>Inspects the member of the imperial guard
>nods
Very good. at ease.

>>49934721
Hrm...
>She leans on her valk
I think the best place to hide on this ship would be the cargo hold. Almost no one ever goes there. It's either that or the Vents

>>49934791
>she would wave with her Bionic before leaning against the wall and observing the group in silence.

>>49934834
>Malak would be seated upon a set of the regiment's supply crates, watching the other regiments set up.

>>49934839
"Thank you, my dearest"
>he'd go off to the cargo hold, wide smile on his face
"Tea is going to get cold, darling. Don't shoot or I'll spill it"
>>49934837
>before that, he'd look at the commisar
"You bring pride to the Imperium"
>he'd walk off towards the Cargo bay

>>49934837
>sighs in relief...
>>49934834
>Only to be taken by surprise
Well, it's nice to have company every now and then. And yer the best company I have had in me life.

>>49934837
>The Tankers smile themselves, especially Anya, even as she continues to be embarrassed.

>>49934843
>The obviously don't wave back due to being in formation, but they nod again.

>>49934834
>Twitch would fix up the guitar and sit observing the Corporal and Ferral worlder together.

>>49934902
>Notices the stormtrooper not attending the inspection, but at this point it barely even matters

>He takes a seat somewhere at hand and opens a bottle of water

>"No need to speak that silly language with me dear. A man learns many things during his life and forgets even more"
>he'd give a chuckle
>"Thankfully a language as unique as tau's did not slip by me"

>>49934998
>He'd remove his helmet, before raising a brow questioningly at the Commissar.

>>49935039

I see.
>She would quit with the teasing, and would instead wrap her arms around his waist in a more tender, and sisterly way. Her face would be pressed against his back, and her eyes closed, as her breathing and heartbeat seems to slowly start matching with his.

Ragaa...?

>>49935483
>"H-He is...."
>Anya looks a bit embarrassed again.
>The Tankers return to their tank.

>>49935602

Come on why are you so embarrassed dear?

I suppose you're looking for me?

No milord, this one is for the regiment.

>>49935560
>"No need to be afraid of anyone seeing you here dear"
>he'd sit atop a metal crate, sipping his tea
>"Besides me, and I don't bite, unless asked to"
>"Just wanted to give you a proper welcome, a good one, without those pesky marines around"

>>49935616
>"I-I-I.....I'm not u-used to affection?" This doesn't exactly help her feelings, and thus, she keeps her hands close to her chest, looking a bit lost.

>>49935671
We're going to have to fix that then...
>She pecks Anya's lips again.
Slowly and through much kissing.

>>49935668
>She sighs.
>"I'm not afraid of the Gue'la. But it would be foolish to lower my guard."

>>49935708
>"R-Really?" The girl still blushes horribly. "Y-You mean that?" She also sounds disbelieving.

>>49935598
A year ago I killed them. Greed overtook me, and I agreed to guide them, the poor fools. Nobility, ignorant of the dangers of the swamp, and I led them to their deaths. I knew the fog would rise, but thought we'd get to hunting shelter in time.

>>49935640
>He would give a gentle shake his head at her motions.
>He didn't feel like he deserved happiness right now, and his face showed it. Not after the things he had said Vic. And especially after all the losses he and his fellow Scions had endured the previous day.

>>49935664
For which Regiment is that? I presume you mean Theta Gamma. If so, leave him where you wish. They seem to have a nack for accepting almost anybody...

>>49935735
>She gets another peck as an answer.
You need to express your feelings, dear, you don't need to keep hiding anymore.
Let it go.

>>49935728
>"In any other circumstance, I'd agree darling, but not in this regiment, especially not with tankers or m-"
>he'd sip his tea
>"Are the accomodations suiting you dear? If you want, we could find you a cozier place to hide"

>>49935664
>the startled looking inquisitor would come running through the rank to shake the mans hand and welcome him
Greetings greetings, I must say we were not expecting you.

>>49935779
>"Please stop calling me dear... I'm infiltrating... it's not appropiate..."
>Her helmet closes as she looks down.
>"I don't require commodities. This is nice and silent... and away from pious eyes..."

>>49935805
I certainly didn't expect to be here. Who are you?

>>49935778
>Anya gasps, and her tail waves behind her a little more energetically. She also tentatively reaches for one of Vic's hands to take in her own.

>>49935736
Ragaa...
>She would embrace the Feral worlder even tighter upon hearing this.

Ragaa... it's ok... you can't be expected to predict how mother nature will respond. It just doesn't work like that. No one could possibly have predicted how things would go that day.

>>49935838
>the nervous looking Inquisitor would smile warmly and try to shake the Psykkers hand
Nathen Pratchett, I'm with the Ordo Xenos, I also appear to be the only Inquisitor here at the moment.

Washbreeze. I'm a psyker, here to advise the regiment.

Where exactly are we?

>>49935883
>"No offense was taken. Do you have a shortened version of your name, Ex-Discipline Master Uhzurkar Kane?"

>>49935936
>Anya still seems embarrassed, but that's overshadowed by the goofy smile on her lips, her tail she has no idea what to do with though, so it just swishes behind her in a pleased manner.
>And yes, she does walk wherever Vic wishes them to.

>>49935954
>"O-oh yes.."
>coughs to stop panicking
>"It's Kane"

>>49935944
We're currently located upon the Tau world known to the Imperium as Auntuaven

>The older gentlemen would smile gently.

I hear it's been quite some time since this regiment has had a Psyker.

>>49936014
>he shrugs
I wouldn't know, sir.

>>49935944
>>49936014
y-yes, what he said!
>Pratchett would wince and point to the older Inquisitor

>>49935867
I remember every word, every curse and every plead of that morning. I remember their faces, their names, everything. Everything but why I locked that door.

>>49935984
So, where you want to go? Talk with Kane maybe? With the Tankers? Both?

>>49935998
>She bows.
>"A pleasure to meet you, honored, Shas'Kane."

>>49936072
>"B-Both? Both is g-good." Said Tankers would be chilling in their tank.

>>49936092
>he'd smile
>"Likewise. So, Shas'Lien, tell me something about yourself."
>takes another sip out of his tea cup

>>49936137
Good for me, dear.
>Vic keeps holding onto Anya's hand as they go.

>>49936151
>"Why... are you spying on Tau?"
>You're not sure if she's serious or joking and she's armed.

>>49936070
Because you're human Ragaa. It's human nature to be afraid of death. And I don't blame you for it.

>She'd go quiet for a moment before softly speaking up.

And some small part of me is glad that you did it Ragaa...

>She'd re-adjust herself, to a slightly more comfortable position.

Because it means I got to meet you...

>>49936176
>he'd cough again
>give a slight, nervous chuckle
>"Me? No...I barely belong to the regiment...or any army, to be quite honest. The tankers just became my family as of recent"

>>49936062
>Though he would still be smiling, something in the older Inquisitors eyes would be somewhat off-putting when he looks at you.

>>49936226
>whistles nonchalantly

>>49936201
It is fortunate that I met you. Now I know what sweet is... And what kindness feels like.

>>49936216
>"Became family? Someone of your family married someone of theirs?"

>>49936291
>There would be silence on her part for what would feel to her to be almost an eternity, but in actuality, would perhaps be five minutes.
>The only sound she can hear is their unified breathing, and their heartbeats.

>When she finally speaks up, it's in a very soft voice.

Ragaa...? Can I tell you a secret? One that I've haven't told anyone else?

>>49936336
>"N-no...more like, uh, people i love and hold very dear to me...people I trust"

>>49936344
If yer find a sinner like me fitting of this secret, yes.

>>49936160
>Anya looks at Vic as they make their way towards the Hammerhead, before looking away with a shy smile. "T-This....this is n-nice...I...t-thank you....."

>At this point, the Tankers would have finished their repairs are were just doing a final systems check.

>>49936364
>"So... Gue'La pick their families rather than being born on them?"

>>49936376
>Holds Anya's chin with her fingers and gently coaxes her to look back towards her.

It's ok, love...

>>49936413
>"Uh...yes"
>he'd nod in some direction
>"We choose who we love"
>"No matter their ancestors, skin or belonging in war...a-at least the tankers and I do"

>>49936451
>"But ancestors and acknowledgement of the past are important... how else can we avoid repeating the same errors they did?"

>>49936495
>"W-well yes, we acknowledge history, b-but we'll never judge you on the actions of your past...there's good in everyone"
>looks at the empty mug
>should have brought more tea

>>49936538
>Offers him what's left of hers, she's just taken a sip.
>"I don't need more."

>>49936538
would you like some toast?
>the young Inquisitor would smile at Kane, not noticing the Tau he was talking to.
>he'd be carrying a plate of toast and would offer the heated bread to the man.

>>49936563
>Her Stealthsuit cloaks and she jump jets away after leaving the cup on the plate.

>>49936430
I-It is? I....I-I'm sorry..I just, I'm g-grateful that you're a-actually willing to....g-give me a c-chance.
>She doesn't look away this time.

>>49936538
>Kane would know that the Tankers installed a kettle, among other things, in the Hammerhead.

>>49936548
>looks at the mug

>"R-right, sorry for bothering, I'll be off then"

>When she finally speaks up, it is as before. Very softly, in contrast to her usual cheerful and teasing attitude.

I do Ragaa... I do trust you...

>lifting her head off of his back, she place her hand gently upon his cheek, before tilting his head in order to face her.
>Her cheeks are flushed bright red, as she stares into his eyes, and she looks incredibly nervous.

Which is why I want to tell it to you...

The truth is Ragaa... Over the last two months, I-I've f-f-fallen f-for you.... I-In the r-romantic sense of things...

>She looks down at the ground at this point. To embarressed to even show him her face.

I-I simply can't stop my heart from b-beating so quickly w-whenever you're around. Y-you mean a lot to me Ragaa... but I'll accept things if y-you decide to reject a girl like me...

negative waves?

>>49936750
I... Me... How? I am a murderer from a cursed world, uncultured and with few merits. How could someone like me give yer the happiness yer deserve?

>he'd still be sad, but some of the sadness would flow down with the bread
"Yes"

"May I come in?"

>>49936785
Ah....well....you want to come chill? There's a new show on....somethingbusters?
>Oddball gestures to the open hatch.

>>49936828
Yeah, negative waves, he looks down in the dumps, y'know, negative.

>>49936893
Neg-ative... waves... yes I think I understnad now, the poor boy needs cheering up, I say we blow something up but that's just the opinion of a humble Inquisitor.

>>49936893
"Sure, why not!"
>he'd climb into the tank

>>49936964
>It is indeed the show from the Trailer playing, with the two hosts standing beside some blueprints.

>>49936864
I don't care what you did to deserve to be here... it really doesn't matter to me. Nor does it matter what world you're from, or even how you worship the Emperor...

All that matters to me, is that you're willing to spend time with me, and that you already make me happy just by being by my side...

>She keeps her eyes lowered to the ground. Still to embarressed to even look at him.

>>49937009
... Yer deserve better than me. But should it be what yer want, I'll stay on yer side until the end.

>>49937048
>Her face would dart up at his words.

So does that mean--?

>>49937066
I will stay with yer, and do what I can to make sure that yer have all the happiness in this world. Until fate that I have cheated so many times finally catches up to me.

>For the majority of people who can't see the pair, a loud scream echos out from their location.

>>49937211
>Normally Ragaa would defend himself from anything or anyone who attacked him with the ferocity of a rip-scuttler

You've made me so happy Ragaa! I don't even have words to describe it right now!

>She'd once again loudly squeal with joy at her fortune, before continuing to nuzzle up against him lovingly.

>>49937306
>The moment he returns the embrace, she would stiffen up and remain quiet for a moment, before becoming like putty in his hands.
>Tilting her head up towards him, her eyes would remain closed, and her face would be serene as she purses her lips out slightly and softly says.

Kiss me...

Nic?
>"I like the way you think Jamie, but what if we take the Melta Charges....and strap Charge Packs to them?" The Commissar stands up and opens the a different crate, this one full of the Packs in question.

>>49937400

>A moment later her hands would be pulling at his cheeks.

You'd better not even think about ever cheating on me Ragaa! Or you'll feel the scorn of an angry guardswoman upon you! And that's far worse than anything a Commissar or Dark Eldar could do to you!

No thanks... bad for your health, and even worse when you're trying to set-up a demo charge large enough to level a hive spire.

don't feel up to it, besides I've always hated Twitchs singing, even when we first picked him up on Tallarn, he's all out of key.

>"The gods have cursed me with having immortality, so that I could deal with the pain without the consequences"
>>49938146
>>49938112
>"And then they blessed me with these two"
"Anya sweetest, you don't need to bother, really"
"It's allright Vic, I'm perfectly fine"

>>49938235
>She smiles in relief.

If you say so.

Let me serve you the tea next time ok? You just sit down and enjoy the ride.

>She keeps smiling.

>>49938206
>Oddball checks the area curiously, not having his focus on the inside of the tank.

>>49938235
>Anya still fusses over him a bit anyway, she's like that with her friends.

>>49938408
>Presses the button and the floor shakes.
>Outside two ramps, hidden as mere rocks are sepparating, revealing an elevator.

>>49938434
>Oddball orders Vana to drive the Hammerhead onto the elevator, and she does so cautiously.

>>49938364
"Oh, darling, no need to bother your-"
>he'd giggle with Anya fussing over him
"You stop that right this instant young lady!"
>>49938434
>"This is what I meant by the family we choose"

>>49938470
>"I see..."

>>49938469
>The tank descends a long, slow ramp, as automated lights turn on as they descend... once below it reveals... a much distasteful sight of dead Fire Cast Warriors, Dark Eldar and Earth Cast Engineers at the main gate doors. Macabre statues made with some bodies of the dead warriors, scientists and engineers cover the halls far ahead, strapped to the walls with bladed weapons covered in blood. There is no life left in here in any reading... Shas'Lien still opens the hatch and runs off, placing herself into stealth mode.

>>49938545
>The Crewmembers look.....suitably sickened at the display. Anya is....notably, the least distressed, but that's not saying much.

>>49938094
>He'd glare daggers, before putting the helmet out of reach.

Is this a game to you? Do you want this amusing?

>>49938611
oh it's just a bit of fun, everybody has there own way of making fun don't they?
>she would lean against the crates smoking.
I have pestering you, young Twitch has playing his guitar, the pilot and the mutant have eachother... what do you have Malak?

>>49938574
Well... this is by far the most horrible thing I've seen as of yet...

Probably we should look around?

>An Imperial Warship of Cruiser-Class drops out of the Warp with little fanfare, near the edge of the System.
>It progresses towards the planet and parks it's self in a high Orbit.
>A Valkyrie is dispatched, escorted by a squad of Thunderbolt Heavy Fighters.

>>49938658
>He'd remain silent at her words.
>Honestly... he didn't have anything. And even if he did, it would only keep him from his duty.
>... or cause him sorrow.

>>49938692
I figured as much, by the looks of it you need a hobby.
>she would smirk at him
ever thought about playing with those little plastic minitures? or ever think of finding your own Malak to pester?

>>49938681
That we should....
>Oddball brings the -extensive- suites of scanners online, while the rest of the crew settle for just keeping their eyes on swivels.

>>49938733
>His eyes would twitch, as he glares at her.

If I did that, than I'd be no better than you...

>>49938740
>Helps them scour

>>49938759
Besides... duty comes first. I'll have all the time in the world to pick up a hobby after I'm dead.

>>49938740
>Vic brings out a Boltgun and jumps down from the hatch to the tank towards the outside.
Let's hope those sick bastards didn't leave any... you know... something.

>>49938759
>>49938774
>she would lick her lips and blow smoke away from the two of them.
and what makes you think you're better than me?
>she would pause after the second comment thou.
and what happens if by some twisted and dark miracle you survive? then what? you gonna stay a tin man till you start to rot or will you take up watering those miniature trees?

>>49938766
>>49938778
>Anya and Irwin set their Drones to Automatic and clamber out as well, equipped with Pulse Carbines, both with a healthy supply of Photon Grenades. "W-Want one of t-the Carbines V-Vic? We have s-spares...."

>>49938811
Thank you dear...
>Vic takes the Carbine, giving Anya another peck on her cheek.
I promise you'll have it back in the same conditions you gave it to me.

>>49938811
>Shas'Lien might be found further ahead, tampering with the console controls of one hell of a big door.

>>49938867
>Anya takes point of the group dismounted troops as they sweep through the complex, her logic being that she has the superior senses.

>>49938876
>wanders into her
>"Need any help?"

>The Valkyrie lands at the captured FOB and the Thunderbolts break off and start returning to the Cruiser. All of the craft had markings typical of Attack Craft in service in the Segmentum Tempestus.

>>49938807
For starters. One thing that sets me apart feom you, is the fact that I don't needly go about and screw with other peoples equipment.
>He'd glare daggers of poison and venom at at her "tinman" comment.

And weither or not I stay a "tinman" is none of your damn concern! If the Emperor needs me to continue fighting until I die, then that's what will happen.

>"Atleast as a tinman, I won't hurt the people I care about..."

>>49938922
>He'd cast a glance at the newly arrived transports.
>"What the hell? We weren't supposed to be getting anymore reinforcements from out of system..."

>>49938889
>>49938919
>"Could you please introduce 85594021 on the console on the other side of the door?"
>She points a console at the left side of the doorway as she's working on the one on the right.

>>49938935
you know, I think I have you figured out, you cut yourself off from others as to not "hurt them" but people will live and die whether you act like a robot or not, why don't you open up? live a little and just maybe share the love.
>she would raise an eyebrow waiting for a response as Twitch plays in the background.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u05Yc5zurI

>>49938967
>There is only one Transport, a Navy Valkyrie, which drops it's rear ramp. The Crew Chief and the Door Gunners walk out of the rear compartment after shaking hands with the passengers.
>Said passengers leave the craft as well, and they appear to be........a Praetorian Company Captain and their staff, judging by the rather plain uniforms, and the Officer's overcoat.

>>49938919
>>49938978
>Anya nods at Kane and jerks her head at the Console.

>>49938978
>he goes and does so
"855..9..4021"
>"There, the deed is done"

>>49939048
>>49939055
>The gates open, revealing... well shit jackpot, you could feet an entire radical inquistor's army with all the guns, battlesuits and transports stored in a huge secure storage, apparently this load seems like it was to be transported to a warzone, Orca transports, piranha skimmers, hammerheads, skyrays, devilfishes, barracudas, pulse rifles, carbines, burst cannons... and battlesuits, sweet sweet battlesuits.

>Shas'Lien runs inside, with a Tau version of the Auspex in her hand, looking for life-forms, of any kind.

>>49939129
>EVERY Crewmember whistles in unison.....after they close their open mouths....in unison.
We're going to need a bigger boat.
>"We're going to need a bigger boat."
>"We will be needing a bigger boat Kamerads."
>"Da Comrade, bigger boat indeed."
>"Aye mates, the biggest boat."
>"I....I think w-we'd need a b-bigger boat than that....."

>>49939009
>He'd glare viscous daggers at her, as he responds.

You don't know a GOD DAMN THING ABOUT ME! DON'T YOU EVEN THINK YOU FUCKING DO!

>>49939168
>Kane walks through the weapons
"And now I have become death, destroyer of worlds..."
>looks for any signs of life with Lien

>>49939168
>>49939129
Ok fine, I can fly anything...
...
...I think...

>>49939215
>Anya and Irwin go off to find any survivors too, while Oddball, Putin, Irwin and Churchill guard thee big ass door with the Tank while they try to figure out how to close it.

>>49939215
>None...
>The whole place is deserted.
>She uses her jetpack to cover more ground more quickly but not even a soul in here.

>>49939209
>she would stare at him for a moment startled by the outburst before regaining her composure and smiling.
well it's an emotion at least, not exactly what I was looking for but it'll do.

>>49939247
>he'd put an arm on her shoulder, knowing full well she'd probably try and snap them
"They escaped. I'm sure of it. Your people are crafty. Can't be caught. They found a way"

>>49939226
>>49939247
>>49939321
So.....I hate to....make the mood worse, but....what do we do with all this? It's not like -we- can liberate all of it.

>>49939321
"Bodycount at the maingate suggests otherwise... They must have flushed them out there somehow and delievered the blow when they were waiting for the elevator..."

>>49939385
Liberate?!

These are not spoils! These are not yours for the taking! Not for that sadistic inquisitor!

>She's visibly angry inside the armor due to body language... but she's too sad to hold that stance for long

>>49939385
"We let her decide"
>looks at Lien
>"She asks what is to be done with the equipment?"
>>49939394
>he'd give a sad nod
>"Then yo-we mourn. Later"

>>49939428
>>49939447
Well....either we take some, and destroy the rest......or we let the guy who didn't negotiate have it. And I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't like that.

>>49939428
>"The inquisitor shall never hear about this place. Ever"
>looks at the others
"Saurekrau didn't get his filthy hands all over this. Let's keep it thay way"

>>49939268
>He'd have had enough of her shit at this point.
>In one quick motion his forearm would be pressed against her neck. Not so much as to choke her, but to send a message.
>His sapphire blue eyes staring directly into her own, with brining anger behind them.

I don't need you tormenting me trooper. And I sure as hell don't need your fucking shitty psyche evaluation. Have I made myself clear?

>He'd stare at her a moment before pulling his arm off of her neck, and looking away. His eyes filled with disgust at his actions.

>>49939499
>she would reach out an arm to pat him on the back but think twice.
I'm sorry... I just wanted you to smile, I've seen you smile before, it was nice.

>>49939499
>The Captain, who had been watching the whole display only raises an eyebrow, before taking a bit of a patrol around for some reason.
>The Command Staff following the Captain seems to consist of a Veteran Bodyguard, Vox Operator, Medicae and a Master of Ordnance.

>>49939530
>He'd frown at this.

Why bother? We've never even met before today...

>>49939561
>she'd shrug
it was a very nice, smile I just wanted to see it again...

>>49939548
>Nathen would rush out from behind a barrel and bump into hte captain.
oh hello there, I don't think we've met before, Inquisitor Pratchett, Ordo Xenos.

>>49939548
>A middle aged Inquisitor. With a bright smile would walk towards the Praetorian Captain.

I'm honestly surprised to see more Praetorians here on the ground. I was sure we had only gone on this crusade with one Praetorian regiment.

>The man would continue to clamly smile. His hand would be out stretched as if to shake the man's.

My name is Inqusitor Arnel Saerkaru, Ordo Xenos. Who might you be Captain?

>>49939491
>Once again she speaks on her language:
"Why did you have to attack our world? The fourth Sphere would center on the unexplored reaches of the galaxy..."

>>49939600
>Malak would let out a huff of air, as he turns to face the guardswoman, looking directly into her eyes, as if looking for something.

Are you serious...

>>49939656
>"We did not do anything. These men and women here actually went and helped your commanders in their struggle against the Dark Eldar. And now, all they want is some equipment, and to keep the rest from greedy imperial hands"

>>49939670
>diane would nod, her face would be serious with no trace of humour or mocking.
yeah, I am.

>>49939636
>>49939648
>The 'Captain' unbuttons the first button of the overcoat to fetch some sort of item on a chain, said item, would in fact, be a Rosette.
I serve to ensure our Emperor's Divine Mandate is carried out, and I have heard.....disturbing things from this Regiment, disturbing things indeed.....
Things that interest the Hammer, not just the Alienhunters or the Witchhunters.....as for my name.....I am Inquisitor Wellesley..

>>49939700
>She sits on top of a parked piranha skimmer.
"What for? They'll keep waging war under that man's command."

>>49939705
>He would remain stern faced for a long, silent moment, before breaking out into laughter.
>When hr finally managed to stop laughing at her idiotic request, Malak would have one of his old "Brotherly smiles" on his face"

You people In Theta Gamma are fucking ridiculous You know that? So fucking ridiculous.

>>49939656
We didn't attack anything, we've been trying to do our best to make sure things end with....as little losses as possible....shame that we're so few....and so little...

>>49939759
>she would rush forwards and hug the laughing man.
you remind me of Rudolph...
>she would whisper.

>>49939738
>The medicae totally looks like she's overseeing the terrain more like what a killer or a ferocious hunter would do than as someone looking for wounded to heal.

>>49939763
Your kin needs understanding.

We respect religion, we always offer a spot in our empire, but yet whenever one of you accepts, the demons clad in armor come.

>>49939738
>The older man would continue to smile.

Ahhh, The Wellesley family! I've been expecting one of you to come and visit this regiment for quite sometime now. But I wasn't expecting one of you for.... oh... another six weeks?

>>49939738
>his mouth would hang open and he would slowly mouth the words "wellesley" other and other.
>before gulping and licking his lips nervously.
an-and what disturbing things would they be?

>>49939745
>sits next to her
>"These guys? These guys don't follow orders they don't approve. They find a way."
>he'd look where her eyes should be
>"We'll do more good than harm by having these. Trust us"

>>49939806
Hey hey hey, I...know what you mean, but....could you really say that -we- are Daemons? I mean....look at Anya.
>Anya perks up at the mention of her name, right ear twitching in the Tank's direction.
Would you really think that -she- is a Daemon?

>>49939836
>Once again she speaks on her native tongue.
"I'm not sure... you -did- help me but..."

>>49939778
>He'd be surprised by the woman's sudden embrace. But he wouldn't push her away.
>He'd instead sigh, before ruffling her hair while looking away.

>>49939861
>"Look into my eyes. See if I lie"

>>49939811
Hrmh, well as I said, disturbing things hastened the visit along.

>>49939813
The potential that the entire Regiment was potentially maliciously infiltrated by Tzeentch......the fact that for some reason, it was seen fit to throw....such an unorthodox, yet valuable unit at a crusade....oh...and the fact that the Inquisitor currently borrowing the Regiment is apparently -dead-. Many things to be investigated.

>>49939842
>She shakes her head slowly.

>>49939874
>she would nuzzle into the taller man, before pulling away and wiping a tear from her eye.
I'm sorry, seeing you and the way you act... I used to push Rudolphs buttons too, but I could always make him smile.
>she woudl be smiling through tears looking up at him.

>>49939889
Well then Inquisitor Wellesley. I'll have to help you put those worries to rest. Now won't I...?

>He'd motion for the Inqusitor and their staff to follow after him into the Tau bunker.

It would be best not to leave you outside.
