**Verviedi**

*Returns from office with a 10-gallon jug of nanites*

...You know, this took a few hours to get fabricated.

*Nonchalantly walks towards the Hydra, holding the jug behind my back*

**War Kitten**

*watches Verviedi carry the jug with n amused expression on my face*

This'll be interesting...

**KaptinBadrukk**

NO!!!

*takes the nanites and throws them out the window*

**Buttery Commissar**

Kaptin no! [Watches nanites hit mailman]

**Verviedi**

...OH FETH NO!

*Activates warp jump generator and attempts to catch nanites*

*Fails and the jug splits open, spraying raw nanites all over the place*

Warp jump NOW! Shields! Do we have shields? GET THEM UP NOW! Those things were set to self duplicate/random construct. If they get in here we are completely, irrevocably fethed. The planet is already lost.

*Jettisons outer layer of liquid metal and desperately throws a haywire grenade at the rapidly expanding nanite swarm*

*The grenade does nothing*

*Vaults through the window, shuts, locks, meltaguns, and activates a shield emitter*

Warp jump. Now. DO EEET.

**War Kitten**

*facepalms*
THAT *points the nanite mess* THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T TRUST A TECH PRIEST!
*proceeds to smoke a cigar*
smoke em' if you got em' boys

**2BlackJack1**

*throws psychic balls of flame at the swarm*

For every one I kill eight take its place!

*watches as a Krootox attempts to fight the swarm but is disassembled layer by layer*

No! Beatrice won't take kindly to her pen-mate being killed!

**Verviedi**

*Tosses the now Dragon's now beat-up warp jump generator into the middle of the Room*

*The ground outside the Room is now turning into grey goo*

Warp warp warp warp warp... THANATOS grey goo supernova problem resolved data input coordinates 010101011101010101010011111000101001x01001101110QR57

*Look around*

...We have no Gellar field. It's death by Nanite or the Warp with no shielding.

Choose now.

**War Kitten**

I got this
*throws a stasis grenade at the swarm, stopping them all in place forever*
Got em'

**2BlackJack1**

Wait, didn't those crons have null generators? Couldn't we make a makeshift Gellar field out of those? I could try and power it, but I can't promise how long I can make it last, but I can try.

**Verviedi**

*Horrified expression*

...Did you just stasis bomb a nanite swarm?

*Begins warp jump activation sequence*

What do you think is going to happen when the time loop ends? The swarm is going to disassemble that bomb. I estimate we have about ten minutes [5 posts] until that fething thing runs out of battery and the loop ends. I wouldn't want to be around the nanite swarm then.

Get working on that Gellar field. I am going to set course for Thanatos and detonate this star. Space marine, open fire on that swarm. Thousands of bolt shells exploding at once when that bomb wears off should kill enough nanites that it would take them longer to spread.

**War Kitten**

Hmm, didn't think of that
*sits down on a couch and pulls out a manual on stasis bombs*
Give me a minute here.
*studies the manual for a bit*
You got about 10 minutes till they're unfrozen, they won't be able to disassemble the bomb, as the bomb has already self-destructed, they'll just unfreeze.

**Buttery Commissar**

[Leans out of window and puts finger in swarm] Tickly. [Giggles]

That poor postman. [Looks sad]

**Verviedi**

*Immediately unloads railgun on full auto, blasting BC's arm out the window, where it dissolves into more grey goo*

If a SINGLE nanite gets in here, we are DOOMED.

...Can you regen that? I feel kind of bad...

**War Kitten**

*looks back up from manual*
I can give him a bionic arm, his girlfriend may not be too impressed, as most of the ones that were delivered here are fairly basic.

**Co'tor Shas**

Eh, I have some spare synth flesh lying around somewhere, That'll make them work quite well. Assuming it didn't explode again.

**Buttery Commissar**

[Yelps and runs away] [Hides behind sofa] It was pretty and I have very low self control. :(

**Verviedi**

...BC has a girlfriend?

*The room lurches as the warp jump generator begins activating*

Status on that Gellar field?!

[Extend that time to 5 posts after this one]

**2BlackJack1**

*krootox begin dragging null generators into place*

Alright. I'll try not to die or get my soul eaten out when I'm using this thing.

*gets strapped into the middle of the null field*

Here goes nothing

*lightning starts shooting from generator to generator*

**War Kitten**

The daemonette, I thought they had an on again/off again relationship based on what I'd seen. Could be wrong though.
*rooms shakes again*
Man we need to get a techmarine in here, I don't know how this stuff works, I'm just an apothecary in training.

**Co'tor Shas**

*a few drones carring what appears to be some sort of pink blob in a bucket over*

Ah, it didn't explode, good. I must have gotten he mixture right this time.

**Verviedi**

...That counts as a relationship? Does that mean that l'm in a re *Lightning bolt* llidus assassin? Really we just h *Lightning bolt* d multi-limbed twister.

Anyway, course for Thanatos set. Time to say hi to some Necrons!

...Get your guns ready

**Buttery Commissar**

[Sits behind sofa and mumbles] It healed over. I don't regenerate body parts, just wounds.

[On cue, Daemonette emerges from butter tank and crouched behind sofa, patting BC very gently]
...Thanks. No don't put your finger in it. [Fends off curious daemon with remaining arm]

**2BlackJack1**

*lightning courses through body*

Hawks Above! That fething hurt!

*coughs up a fried feather*

I don't want any jokes about Terran Fried Chicken or anything else related to calling me Bird Man, ya hear?

*gets hit with another bolt of lightning*

I'm feeling... unwell...

*head slumps over*

**Verviedi**

*Drags 2BJ1 behind a sofa as the nanite swarm unfreezes*

*Room finally shifts into the warp fully and a Screamer Of Tzeentch phases through the wall and glides around the ceiling*

...Anyone know how to get to the Celestial Orrery from Thanatos warpgate?

**War Kitten**

*waves smelling salts under 2bj1's nose to wake him up*
*Walks over to BC*
I can put a bionic on that if you want. Or you can go to Co'tor and see if he can re-grow it. Might be a bit more painful than the bionic though

**Co'tor Shas**

Well, It's less regrow, and more clone a new one and amputate it on. Although last time it only hurt because I forgot to apply the anesthetic.

**Buttery Commissar**

[Frowns] [Turns into a bat and attempts to fly away]
[Is a wing short] [Smacks into floor]
[Transforms back and lies on floor] I'll take the bionic whilst I'm dead. So to speak. I have a feeling transplant works better if you have a pulse.

**War Kitten**

*drags BC to the PDF hospital and does the procedure*
Congrats, you are the proud owner of a bionic arm, when you want it re-grown (when you're alive that is) I can remove it for you. You should be able to perform the piano really well now too

**Verviedi**

...You know, that could be either the first or last bionic transplant ever done in the Warp. Time doesn't exist here.

*Points at the vague shadow of a Tau Megolodon transport out the window*

You see, that thing was created 400 years in the future, but we're all equal in terms of time right now. All technically the same age, all technically the same experience. All tech is both Ancient and New.

*Sighs in contentment and suddenly shakes head*

...The feth was that? Did I just philosophize?

OOC: Going once, going twice for the person who gets that Megolodon reference.
