[You know what Mayfield has been missing out on?

CHAINSWORDS

These machines you may know as 'sounder pounder tree cutterdowners' are somehow swords and your two favorite Warhammer 40k heroes are dueling with them.

None of the smoke associated with chainsaws is to be seen but the sound and the whirring of the blades can't be missed. Not to mention the sparks caused by the clash of blades.

Yes, they're clashing.

Standing a good foot and a half shorter than Garviel, Cain is somehow managing to not get a chainsword blade stuck in his head. He can't fight the Space Marine strength on strength but his ability to deflect the blade must either be instinct or awesome skill. Either way, they still pause every so often because fighting a frakking Astartes is like hitting your head on a brick wall.

Feel free to gawk, think they're insane, or that their weapons can't be wieldy due to physics but they still handle them like they're Jedi Masters.

At the park, of course.

Garviel and Cain will be tagging the threads separately and threadjacking between the two may happen.]

[Well, it was about time something interested while he was snooping around the park. The Major watches the two men duel, quietly at first. If he finds this foolish at all considering his own standing with Garviel, he doesn't show it. He claps lightly at the display.]

Quite impressive.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

I've seen better but I'll take your word for it.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

That there might be better doesn't mean a skilled performance should go unnoticed.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

I'll take the compliment then. They don't usually come freely.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

I am, at times, a generous man.

I would assume from training you're military?

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

You've got that right. Commissar Ciaphas Cain.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

Commissar?

A Soviet, then? Though, not with a weapon I'd ever seen them produce.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

What's a Soviet?

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

A term for someone from the Soviet Union, a communist government that encompassed a great deal of eastern Europe and the Middle East during the time I'm from.

I'll take that as a no, then. Might I inquire where you're from?

[He has a hunch, but he'd like to get as much information as he can manage before Garviel becomes alerted to his presence.]

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

I'm a Commissar for the Imperium. The Empire of Man.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

...The Empire of Man?

[His eyes flash a bit at how specific that is. Specify what you mean by that.]

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

Yes, the Empire of Man. It covers the large part of the known galaxy. Before you ask who else is out there, just know that there's quite a few.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised. They've always been there. Perhaps not in the same forms you know them by, but they've always stuck to an existence hiding in shadows.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

...well, the Eldar and the Necrons have always been there just like they are now.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

I don't know what Eldar are, but I can hazard a guess at what "Necrons" are, though we have different names for them.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

Pointy eared and limp wristed. That's an Eldar.

And frak, if you've seen a Necron...I thought I was one of the only people who has seen one and lived.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

I don't know if they're exactly the same, I'm merely guessing due to the name. I knew a creature like it that could easily level a battlefield if it felt like it. Although, despite all its power, it's true nature was rather obvious.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

These things have glowing green eyes and their weapons melt the skin and flesh off your bones.

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

Mmm. No. I was mistaken then.

Though still comparable to the creature I spoke of.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

It's not like I want to see the thing you described either.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

[Garviel is wearing his power armor. Which the the Major hasn't seen before. He gives him a death stare as his chainsword idles.]

You.

[He growls, his voice at least is still familiar, and edged with contempt.]

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

[Just smiles right now.]

My. Your regalia is most impressive.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I need no compliments from you.

[Wow, how did he manage to sneer with a helmet on?]

[sturmbahnfurher.livejournal.com]

[Just light chuckling to himself.]

And yet you receive them anyway! Whether you should accept them or not is of no concern to me.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

[Garviel just snarls and turns away, leading to the major's talk with Cain.]
