[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.]

The discipline required for her abilities. Also, she has a form of psychic hood, though not one like I've ever seen before. She explained a bit about it to me.

She's noble and self-sacrificing, though sometimes I think i'm the only one who sees it. I know what she has given up for others.

[He looks distant.] It is strange, to care so much for a mortal, Cain. Outside of the Legion I had only a few remembrancers and Iterators as friends. And she uses the warp. And yet...

She is an example of what Imperial humanity should be. Virtuous, brave, disciplined, wise, and potent. I just wish she could wake up in the morning more easily.

She saved my life, once, actually, when someone had punctured my primary heart with a dastardly attack from behind.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I have to wonder how trusting you are. Psykers aren't any of those things. You sure this person just hasn't gotten in your mind and started fooling around?

[He chuckles.]

No. I knew her before her powers were active, actually.

She was the same person then as she is now. That's the best way to gauge people here. What they're like without any of the the crutches they rely on.

Remember, Cain, I was one of two who picked up on Horus' corruption before the betrayal at Istvaan. I know how to read people, even primarchs, and am not easily swayed.

[He shrugs.]

You shouldn't be too friendly with that fat bastard, though. He's a murderer, and not the useful sort.

[Cain scratches his chin for a moment before reaching up and patting one of the shoulder pauldrons.]

You and I should probably have a serious discussion one day on what the Imperium used to be and what it is now. Guys like that fat one? Probably your average Commissar or even a Lord General.

What a saddening revelation.

I wonder if what I did had any meaning at all, when i hear that. All that Tarik and I sacrificed. We stood with our brothers at Istvaan against Lupercal, against our fallen Legion and we died for it. If all that you say is true... was it all for nothing? I must know if our defiance bought the Emperor any respite at all.

The God-Emperor was still killed at Horus' hand. Hate to say it but you did nothing, mostly.

Well, I suppose you may have saved the lives of some of your brothers.

Killed? I can hardly believe it.

I don't know how the stories go. All I do know is that he's rotting on the Golden Throne.

From: [identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com
I know very little about the Throne. I have never been to Terra.

[Yet.]

It's a fact that he's a corpse. No way around that.

But you serve him still. Explain.

[Cain looks at Garv like he's insane.]

He's the God-Emperor. He fights the Dark Gods on their own plane of existence, ensuring humanity's survival. [At least, that is the drivel given to Commissar's and people of a high enough rank.]

From: [identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com
Wait... so he's... dead but not dead.


[Garviel frowns.]

He always told us -not- to worship him as a god. Insisted on it, in fact.

[You know, he doesn't trust the guy but...he also trusts him to not lie. He leans over and his voice drops.]

I don't know if there are any Inquisitors around here since they're good at hiding but...

...keep that to yourself for the time being. They'll kill you if that got out.

What's an inquisitor?

[Asks the man who will help found either the inquisition or the Grey Knights. Or both.]

If the Guard is the shield of the Empire and the Astartes are the sword of the Empire, the Inquisition is the person who makes sure either aren't rusty or broken down.

And they won't hesitate to "replace" a weapon if they have to, if you get my drift.

Ah. I see. [His brow furrows, and he considers something rather unhappy.]

I wonder if they might not have saved us from what happened, had they been established in my time.

[This is actually pretty world changing for him though. There are a lot of things he'd like to not do but does so because he could get in massive trouble for it.

The more he thinks about it, the more it hits on him harder. Finally he just turns around and sighs.]


You need to do me a favor.
