| once inside, the man goes rifling through a bag beside one of the beds, before pulling out a ration pack and tossing it over. it's nothing great, but it is notably better than the ones he had in the imperial lines | |

| Laurence practically kicks down the door to the bunker, rushing as much as he is, he walks right past lyanna, waving off any questions she has and vaguely declaring "No talk now need to find canister." Then descending down further into the bunker
"Well, if one isn't fighting superheavies, that is." | |

| Some time later, he returns, with a plasteel cylinder, around the size of a battle cannon shell, over his shoulder. "Found it."
"Last i checked, we didn't have any Baneblades." | |

| "Taking out a baneblade on foot, is 'possible'. but i would not wish to try it."
Meanwhile, laurence makes his way back towards the front lines with the canister over his shoulder. | |

| "Please, don't, I am deadly allergic to bullshit."
Walking down to the very centre of the line, he puts a foot on the firing step, and peers over, looking at the pile of corpses outside of the blackened and burned area of the flamethrower's effect. | |

| "It is indeed."
Laurence nods to himself, and shifts his grip on the canister to the handle welded to its base, he swings it back and forth a little, experimentally, judging it's weight, and draws one of his pistols from its holster with his left hand. Then, with no ceremony or flourish, he hurls the thing into the air. The canister tumbles through the air a considerable distance, clearing the twenty metre area of blackened earth, and then some. It lands among the dead, crushing the pelvis of a corpse with a grisly sound. | |

| "Werner, and yours?"
Laurence pops his head over the parapet, for just long enough to level his pistol, and crack off a shot at the canister. The bullet pierces the plasteel, with a hollow ringing sound. But there is no explosion, no rapid expulsion of pressurised gas. But from the jagged hole, what appears to be a fine off-white powder, like flour, drifts out. | |
