The Barbed Hook

"Or I could just not come with you"

"If you weren't doing that you wouldnt be aboard this dropship would you?"

"I can still jump off, we're not too far from the base"

"Why even get on?"

"I wanted to know what was going on"

"didnt mean you had to get aboard once here"

"Well, we're rather high in the air. I've got about 5% left in the suit so fuck it I'll see you later."
*He opens a door and lets himself fall out*

".....okaythen"

OOC. Fun Fact Time!

You could easily survive for the rest of your life without a single whiff of oxygen!

"Well... that was mildly unexpected. damn it i was betting on him helping."

"Eh, I dont think he wants to keep the warsmith waiting"

"well, we're literally going to talk to him, right now."

"The warsmith? I doubt it. one of his commanders likely"

"Via Vox, but you know, pyriel will probably demand a face to face, he hates planning via vox."

"And you gotta earn djurah's trust to meet him in person. Less than a dozen of his grand battalion's men have earned that"

"Must be a lonely life to cut yourself off from your own men."

"Oh he doesn't cut himself off. He just doesn't like private audiences. He fights on the front lines too"

"I'd much rather know the man i put my life in the hands of, off the battlefield as well as on it"

"Technically our lives are in the hands of lord tarkin, not the warsmith"

"Pyriel and Djurah will be directly commanding us this time."

"Right"

"Hopefully it will be seamless cooperation, show both sides we can work together."

"Aye"

"Although the best we can probably do for the warriors is screen their retreat from this world, we certainly can't bring the Imperial fists to heel."

"The fists already know where we'll go"

"Then go somewhere else"

"Theres nowhere else to go"

"Its a big universe"

OOC. Time for another great story from the glorious democratic land of Hungary.... except that our official democracy rating is below that of Brazil.... we are tied with the Philippines.... its pretty much official that we are running a corrupt dictatorship here at this point...
so anyway, the government just spent ~2.5-3 million USD on.... nope, its not stadiums this time. On a website. Yep. We spent more on a website than the cost of a B-2 bomber back when it was the top of stealth bomber tech...
Even experts never heard of a single site that would have cost this much before... and its all for the Ministry of Agriculture... because "this system is able to support 10000 users at once".....you know, just in case the pig farmers tried to DDoS them....

"If you think we're goin anywhere other than olympia after this, you havent been listenin much"

"The Fists will follow you there, and you'll have the same problem."

"And more men"
OOC ...IS THAT A FIFTY SHADES REFERENCE IN THE WITCHER 3?!

"More men doesn't really cure exterminatus....?"

"Are we really having this conversation?"

"Well. yeah? You dying would be rather sub par." *he raises and eyebrow*

"Gonna happen eventually"

"Preventing more death is always good."

"Not like it'll prevent anythin"

....and now a life of brian reference

"Well, preventing death prevents more death and so on."

She shrugs

"We do care, i think we've made that clear"

"As clear as Ive made that I wont abandon olympia?"

"Olympia is lost to the warriors, it doesn't have to be lost to you."

"What you on about"

"If the warriors keep fighting they'll loose, its simple, they'll die to a fists assault or get bombed from orbit if that fails. its a loose loose situation"

"I know"

OOC you might have overthought how to spell "lose"

OOC: I might have don't draw attention to it he didn't notice

"So, I want to get as many people as i can off olympia"

OOC "secrets safe with me"
