A slightly smaller Mess

wilhelm sidesteps, causing gideon to fall to the ground beside him

*OOF*

hakken does note upon inspection that wilhelm is wearing an officer's gorget

Hakken steps forwards, going to backhand the melta from his hands.

wilhelm steps backwards at the last second so the backhand does not connect

Leveling an arm at wilhelm, the pilot lights ignite. "You think you can walk in here and give orders kreiger?"

"I gave no orders"

"Tellin us we can't secure our shit, sound like a fuckin order to me."

"Stating your fortifications are unsanctioned and against regulations is not an order, it is a fact"

*Getting up*
“Oh here we go”

"You tellin that to a room full o fucking convicts dipshit"

"You are imperial soldiers. *glances at mute* I was under the impression the shock troops of cadia were not given to random acts of vandalism or the threatening of fellow loyal soldiers"

"An i were under the assumption cadians didn't shoot superior officers, but the cunt did it anyway."

"And were your current superior officer, the other cadian, to hear you shot dead an imperial soldier for inquiring as to your unsanctioned fortifications, you believe he would approve? And what of the inquisitor's apprentice? I understand she is one of you"

"You're under the assumption we never done it before. Desertin aint easy lad. people get hurt."

"If it's so easy then do it"

Hakken nods. "You got balls lad. give you that. Bandit."

in the corner of the room, crosshairs over the krieger's head, bandit squeezes the trigger.

at which point a light brighter than a rather powerful flashbang goes off in hakken's face. by the time his vision returns, it seems the kreiger has bolted for cover out of sight

Gideon being the smart boy that he is has backed away to the entrance

Hakken: "Alright. You wanna burn, you can burn. Sweep an clear, i want a corpse, bandit, watch the exits."

"For the record, I'm older than you, so lad doesn't fit"
*suddenly hakken feels a small explosion against his back, specifically his power pack. Moments later, the suit loses power*

Mute walks towards the source of his voice, infernus bolter lowered, lucy covering his ass.

hakken: "OH YOU BETTER HOPE THEY DONT LEAVE YA ALIVE!"

“You realise that killing him will just piss off the inquisitor right?”

"I dont give a shit noble boy!"

the voice is moving fast
"I do not wish to cause harm to come to you, legionarre. But I will defend myself. If I must add one more sin to my soul, so be it."

Lucy: "THEN FUCK OFF!"

*still moving*
"I merely inquired as to the reason for your unsanctioned fortifying of this area"

“Paranoia”

Lucy: "YOU SHOT THE FUCKIN PLACE UP YOU BASKET CASE."

"I breached the door because it would not open"

Lucy: "You're off your shit!"

Mute moves forwards towards his voice, pilot light flickering

"I wish merely to talk." *keeps moving* "I have made no threats and acted in self defence"

Lucy: "Alright.... drop that melta, and we talk."

“You may want to give him some garuntee(spelling?) that he won’t be killed”

they hear a clatter and see the melta skid out from behind a box

Lucy: "Alright.... what you wanna talk about..."

"Why have you fortified this location?"

Lucy: "Cause we don't trust that lot."

"That lot?"

Lucy: "Quisition, who the fuck else?"

"And you beleive they would storm this area in an attempt to kill you...for what reason?"

Lucy: "Cause its the fucking inquisiton."

At which point, a voice from the door announces. "WHAT. THE FUCK. DID YOU PEOPLE DO?!"
