A slightly smaller Mess

Charles: so....lesson over I suppose. That's how vandire happened.

Maiden: as am I.

Alana's jaw drops

Laurence: "But he is a dreadnought, not... whatever you are. He's made for war, not wine tasting."

Akira: "Sure."

Hera: "And he did all kinds of, tyrantish things."

*max gets to it*

--

*Robert let's her stand like that for a second*
"We're not even inside yet, come on"

Charles: his actions disgust even the most radical inquisitor.

Maiden: and I am?

she follows excitedly

*He leads her inside, practically giving her a tour of the outer sanctum*

Alana: how do you know so much...

"I used to be a Vindicare. Spent a lot of time prowling around here"

Alana: and the custodians didn't catch you?

Rob: How do you think I survived? Anyone who failed usually died

Alana:...custodians, Rob.

OOC: Well some info for you

Half Eldar/Human

Born in a lab and designed to replace Soave marines.

Affiliation: imperial even though that's more of a cover story than anything else.
Alana is his fiancé too

Rob: Have I ever told you about what I did before I met Laura?

"Not much....i'm still doubting you could kill a custodian"

Rob: I used to be the guy they sent to wipe out chapters. But that was my old life...

"oh..."

"Yeah..."

"..."

OOC: Space marines. My phone is weird with spelling.

"You're judging me aren't you?"

"No just...processing"

"Oh..."

"don't worry"

"Hard not to"

"sorry"

"I probably should have told you"

she hugs him

*He returns it*

"I love you"

"And I you"

Hera: "A lot of dead worlds thanks to him, then."

Laurence: "Modeled after a human."

Charles: more than that. Once he had the imperial guard attack an imperial world, and enslave all females under the age of 12. He did not tell them what to do with these captives.

Hera: "................"

Maiden: simply more advanced.

Charles: indeed....

Laurence: "But no doubt tyren would refuse whatever technology is in you as heretical."


Hera: "I hope the sister who killed him made it slow."

Charles: "You have committed the ultimate heresy. Not only have you turned your back on the Emperor and stepped from His light, you have profaned His name and almost destroyed everything He has striven to build. You have perverted and twisted the path He has laid for Mankind to tread. As your own decrees have stated, there can be no mercy for such a crime, no pity for such a criminal. I renounce your lordship; you walk in the darkness and cannot be allowed to live. Your sentence has been long overdue and now it is time for you to die."

Maiden: i know. Stubborn as ever.

Hera: *Smiles* "She sounds like a damn good soldier."


Laurence: "Some would say that is a virtue. I doubt he would allow me to reconstruct his body either, he wants to stay human, whats left of him."

Charles: Alecia dominica. And she was indeed.

Maiden: astartes? Human?

Laurence: "Closer to it than either of us."

Hera: "Nice to know I'm related, in a roundabout kind of way."

Maiden: Barely

Charles: is that so?

Laurence: "Astartes are rather close to human, where you're 99.9% machine, and i am... Probably about 10% human."

Hera: "Not by blood, obviously."

Charles: right. Anyway, now you know. The rise of the church and the fall of vandire.

Maiden: hes mostly machine now too.

Laurence: "Salamanders are a strange breed, they like to think they're still like everyone else."

Hera: "And still noone saw a problem with the church having so much power?"

Maiden: indeed...perhaps if more did the galaxy wouldnt be so fucked.

Charles: thor made changes. Not too many, but enough. 'No men under arms' for example.

Hera: "Poor choice of words."

Laurence: "Undoubtedly, Your planet would probably be habitable for starters."

Charles: deliberate choice. He formed the daughters of he emperor into the sororitas.

Maiden: and my family and closest friend might have lived.s it is, dorns sons killed the former, dorn himself the latter

Hera: "Probably would have been better to give them autonomy, like astartes chapters."

Laurence: "Never had any family to loose, but my friends were killed by a cult worshipping the emperors children. I understand the feeling."

Charles: perhaps, but it is a little late for that now.

Maiden: I watched the closest thing I had left to family split in two my dorn's chainsword.

Laurence: *Sighs* "I at least could take revenge. Dorn... No."

Hera: "Quite."

Maiden: back then it was even less likely. I was just an infantryman, nothing but the carapace armour on my back and the lasrifle in my hand.

Charles: Anyway, lesson over it would seem.
