Room 2-16
[Uh-huh, yeah. The note/letter was hastily discarded. Cain rarely cared about reading up on his current situation.

Instead, his eyes went straight for the storage case. Without pause, he hastily put on the carapace armor and then his great coat over top of that. He couldn't forget his hat either!

With a sigh of relief he found his laspistol and stuffed it into its proper holster. But...]

Oh, frak me.

[...his chainsword was in multiple parts. He'd have to put it together. Double frak. He gathered up the parts and glanced around the room to make sure no one was around to give him a hard time.]


Floor 15
[After a little bit of searching, he found this place.

With a smile finally on his face, he got to work putting together that enigmatic weapon that was called a chainsword. It only took a few minutes since he was pretty decently versed in taking it apart and putting it back together again.

And with a few test revs, he found it was working great.]

Now I just need a Jurgen and I'll be satisfied. Like frak that's going to end up happening though. Where in the Emperor's name am I?

[Yeah, he should have read that paper. Unfortunately, paranoia came first on the list, making him want to make sure he could properly protect himself first.]


Cafeteria
[Did I mention he should have read that paper? Because Cain had a few trips to the refresher before he figured out he needed to eat the oatmeal first.

With that craziness over, he took a few tea leaves that was left in his storage box and brewed up some of that....unique smelling tanna tea in the cafeteria. PRIORITIES. It was definitely an acquired taste but Cain loved it. It helped him relax, which was just what he needed. Thankfully, he could find the hot water to make it right here.]

Now that hit the spot. The sad part is that I'm going to need to ration this. Watering it down isn't going to be an option.

Comments

[hideandhero]

That's pretty clever. You could do your normal work and not worry about being accused of anything.

[He was thinking on the same lines, of course.]

I'm just going to stay a normal Commissar, if you don't mind.

[hegantha]

Being anything else wouldn't particularly suit you.

[hideandhero]

You say that but unless there are any Guardsmen around, I can't really throw my weight around.

[Not that he often did. People usually just listened to him, thinking his ideas were the best ideas. And Cain liked that.]

[hegantha]

Oh, I'm sure you'll find something fun to do.

[ Amberley's pretty sure he could still influence people here if he really wanted to. It's what he was best at, after all. ]

[hideandhero]

Like not dying? That seems to be a good priority.

[Not that he would run from fights, oh no. He just served the Emperor better while being alive.]

[hegantha]

It's not really possible to die here, so I guess that helps you feel a little better? You just wake up in your bed unharmed the next day.

Though, to be frank, I like you better alive.

[hideandhero]

[Suddenly, all joy gone. More like sheer terror but he'll just hide it behind a serious face.]

Can't die? That reeks of warp sorcery.

[hegantha]

I'm not really sure what it is.

[ Honestly, Amberley wonders if the warp even has any effect on this place. It just seems so isolated from everything she knows.

But wow, she really doesn't like seeing Ciaphas upset. So she'll gently wrap her arms around his waist. ]

[hideandhero]

If it's not warp taint, it's probably something with Eldar technology. Though you'd know more about that than me.

[He'll get distracted in a bit. Once he's sure he's not being possessed or something.]

[hegantha]

The place has been advertised as being run by a small group of humans, but they could easily have Eldar technology.

[ She honestly knows just as much as Cain about this, all she can do is try to reassure him for the time being. ]

[hideandhero]

If that's true, they probably won't like that.

[In his experience with the Eldar, which wasn't a lot, but enough for him.]

Maybe I should stop thinking about that.

[hegantha]

That's a good idea.

[hideandhero]

With the chainsword being done, I shouldn't have any other problems. I'm guessing you're not as unequipped as you seem.

[hegantha]

You'd be right.

[ She brushes the band of her ring against his backside. Yes, that ring. ]

[hideandhero]

...make sure you're not pointing that in the wrong direction.

[hegantha]

Have you ever known me to be incompetent?

[ That tone of voice is dangerous, Ciaphas... ]

[hideandhero]

I don't think anyone would give a truthful answer with a weapon to their back.

[hegantha]

[ She makes a show of taking off the ring and putting it in the pocket of her dress. ]

[hideandhero]

[He smiles but, hey.]

I know I may be dumb at times but even I know that you always have something up your sleeve.

[hegantha]

[ She can't help but smile back. ]

Then you know you don't have to worry about me.

[hideandhero]

[Great.

He's back on his feet now, sword sheathed and ready to go.]

I've got some tanna calling my name.

[hegantha]

You wanna meet up later tonight?

[ Pft like this is even optional. ]

[hideandhero]

When and where?

[It was an automatic yes.]

[hegantha]

After lights out, floor seventy seven.
