MURRAY: Meow? (Tau?)

Did somebody say Tau! Hello!

MURRAY: Meow!! (I am a cat! Not a tau!)

*places Murray on top of backpack*
Easy does it little guy

It's a bit quiet. I'm surprised that no Inquisitors or Space Marines have shown up to try to murder us.

Is that a regular occurrence?

Let's just say... yes.

Sadly yes, we've been attacked by the Mail Inquisition twice, the regular Inquisition once. The Blood Ravens once. And by Orks/Demons/Dark Eldar a few times. It's a regular occurrence around here for us to be attacked by various things. You get used to it after a while.

So I still need to kill things here?

*Looks down at feet*

Here's a present! I hope your suit's memory is large enough1

...Oh no.

*Suit's sensors and interior screens display an out of memory error*

*snaps fingers in front of Verviedi's sensor suite to get his attention*
You alright in there? I don't know much about tau physiology but I can try to make you unsee whatever it is you just saw.

*Suit slowly powers back up*

...He filled my suit memory with images of Shadowsun and I. I don't want to see another rope or strap again for a while.

Please rate this album!

...

[Parked jeep around back of barracks and is sleeping in it] [Commissar-butterfly lands on nose]
...Shoo! [Rolls over] Go bother a flower or something, I'm "working".

*presses the on/off button on the back of Verviedi's suit*
That's about the best I can do. Hopefully V isn't feeling too spiteful and doesn't try to recover the pictures.

...That is what he does when he's NOT spiteful?!

No, if he was feeling spiteful he would both recover the pictures, and he would make your suit dance like a chicken. He's very inventive

[CBC sits up and looks around quizzically]

[Snoring from jeep]

*sees CBC wake up*
Oh, you're finally awake. How's the head feel? I had to take a grenade out of there before I fixed you back up.

Violence is common here? Oh dear, I'm not a combat unit, so I won't be much help, I'm afraid.

That's the spirit!
*claps 2bj1 on the back, accidentally smacking him across the room*
Oops.

"Hmmm, on an unrelated note, I finally received a copy of Fallout-4, so I may be away for some time playing the new game." "I so love time shifts and that I happen to get things many thousands of years old as new again!"

*gets back up*

I could request aid from Colonial Marines, if you wish. They are rather adept at fighting, I must say.

*winces*

They did, however, not appear effective at fighting these...

*waves hand around vaguely*

Daemons.

No offense to your Colonial Marines, but I don't think they could stand up to the things that we encounter in the Room. No, I think it'd be best if they stayed out of this.

*shrugs*

They aren't very reliable, I was just offering. Besides, I'm not sure if they would listen to an android asking for help. If you suffer from any technical or engine problems though, I'd be glad to assist.

...Wait. Welyand-Yutani? Like the movie my player watched while I was sitting on the shelf?

...We may have a problem.

Fething what?

[Wakes up from nap] [Strolls into infimary] ... Where's he gone? [Gestures to empty seat] [Looks around]

[Hears tank engine revving] ... [Vaults out of nearby low window]
[Infirmary collapses due to multiple shells from Butter Tank]

++ What the hell is going on? BC? Daemon? ++

++ [The number you have dialled has not been recognised] [Disconnect tone] ++

I think it's me he's mad at
*strolls out*
HEY CBC! CALM DOWN! TELL YOU WHAT, IF YOU BE NICE I'LL HAVE BC MAKE YOU COOKIES!
*nods at BC*
WHADDYA YA SAY?
*waits calmly*

[CBC continues shelling infirmary] ...I'm not sure he knows what he's mad at.

[Starts walking very slowly toward butter tank] Come on now, let's talk this thr- [Turret and side guns lock onto BC] [Tank loudly beeps apologetically] Yeah, I know, manual controls. It's not your fault.

[Stands very still] No err. Sudden movements, please.

*walks calmly up to the Butter Tank and enters through a side hatch*
*walks out a few minutes later and dumps CBC next to BC*
You two work it out
*steps back into tank*

*clearly off his tits on stolen weed*

Wazzup mah brothas!



OOC: I got a two day ban for calling Jancoran a troll. Nice precedent...

OOC: Selym I hope you know my character set that backpack you stole to meltdown very soon. I got a new one anyway

OOC: Can it be stasis frozen?

[CBC attempts to run away] [Tackles him and sits on him after a brief fight]

Look, you understand that the surgery was for your own benefit, right?
[CBC nods obediently]
And that it wasn't just to try and hurt you, righ- You just knifed me, didn't you.
[CBC nods obediently]
...Thought so. [Looks down at combat knife sticking out of torso]

Ooc: But... He was absolutely trying to annoy people.
