I don't. The girl looks nothing like him, and I assumed she was his daughter. My comment was that she must look more like her mother. Am I incorrect in this assumption?
*shrugs*

[Contemplates taking offence, but goes back to decorating] ...It's true, I'd be worried if a child looked like me as well. It's the eyebrows.

[Starts hanging tinsel on War Kitten due to short length of time he's stood still for]

I can check and see if you want, I had heard that you had amnesia, let me go call someone
*gets on the vox, doesn't notice the tinsel handing from his backpack*
The Apothecary Primus will be here in a few minutes.

[Bewildered] I can't um... Contribute towards creating children. Well, I couldn't until very recently, and she must be at least eight.

And hopefully I can't get pregnant from daemons. [Scratches head] [Woefully ignorant of biology]

Nonsense! Weirder things have happened.
*apothecary shows up behinds BC, takes a blood sample then darts off*
Oh that Apothecary Primus! What a joker!
It'll be a few minutes, sit down for a bit.

[Looks around in confusion] Don't I at least get a lollipop?

*Is now building an enormous pyramid of meat-rolls in the center of the room*

I can practically hear my player geeking out over my new campaign coming out.

Oh, yes. BC. I do not believe human males can get pregnant. Tell me if I'm wrong.

*Eats a random meat-roll and alters the pyramid's height*

*walks back into the room with the Apothecary Primus*
*notices the pyramid*
What the feth?
*shakes his head*
*walks up to BC*
I have the results here. You want to hear them?

Um, I guess. [Pulls out box of baubles]

Commissar Benny, according to these results.....
*reads them*
Um, what? How is this even possible?
*looks at Kimmy, then BC*
*looks again*
*looks back at BC*
Oy Vey......
According to this you ARE the father. I have no idea how that works, but according to this you are.
*pauses*
I still don't know.

[Drops box] But I never... I haven't... Not with a human since... You know, I was fixed.

[Looks at Butter tank and considers] Trans-dimensional... [Panics] That means it maybe hasn't happened yet. Oh god, that's a responsibility. [Sits on box and holds head in hands]

... [Goes through box lid with a sad crunching noise]

[Looks at Kimmy] I'm so very sorry.

*pats BC on the back*
According to this data slate the Commissariat has taken "samples" from you before, and the sample was used in a highly secretive Inquisition facility. I think that's where the little one came from.

...Do I sense intrigue?

*Hands a meat-roll to Kimmy and stands up to full height of 5' 1"*

[Climbs out of broken box of decorations] Well the good news at least, Kimmy is you've got two dads.

Err. Not like that. [facepalms] I am bad at this.

The other Commissar Benny [jerks thumb at barracks] is genetically identical, we're just from different timelines. He's from one where I didn't turn out so... [Looks at back of uniform which is now covered in glitter] [Sighs]

Which timestate is the other one from? Did we jump timestates in a trip in the Warp?

[Stares at verviedi] If I say yes, does it mean I have to understand it?

[To Kimmy] Um. [Rubs neck and kneels down] I'm not very good at being responsible, but I'l try.
[Is hugged emphatically and sheds a cloud of glitter all over the floor]
[Looks around] I have no point of reference as to how to deal with this.

Timestates... The Entity explained it to me. They're spots where time exists in the warp. They can be used to back or forward in time by taking a certain course through the warp. I'm guessing that Death Guard's ship accidentally found a route to jump timestates.

For example, there is timestate Thanatos. The Entity picked it up when we went there. Something actually created a timestate. I don't know what, and they seem a bit dangerous to me.

I didn't understand a word of that. I'm a member of the Legionnes Astartes. We don't work with that crap.

I'm just parroting what the bastard is blaring into my MIU link.

In my words, it's any spot that can be linked to another place in time or space via warp.

...I don't like overly technical things. Battlesuit mechanics is about the upper end of my expertise.

*Busies self with cooking even more*

*hands Verviedi a canister of an unidentified substance*
Use this, it'll make the food go down easier.

[Tilts head] Why are you cooking so much meat?

Because I've eaten nothing but processed rations for the past four months, and objectively, these things are delicious, and useful for anything.

*Homing beacon inside of meat-roll pyramid beeps once*

*continues to offer Verviedi the canister of an unknown substance*
Here. This'll make it go down easier.

[Hears beep and turns head] ... [Stares very hard at Verviedi]

What are you actually doing, before I ask again using my bolt pistol?

*sets down canister and raises Boltgun*
Yes I'm with the one who smells of butter. What are you doing Xenos?

*A barrage of missiles blasts open the ceiling, and thrusters begin to whine*

My objective, human. I am here to assassinate an Ork leader, who is fated to destroy the entire Tau Empire, and my Free Enclaves. My Dawn Blade whispered those truths to me, and I am here to make sure they never come to pass.

I have assembled the greatest of my warriors here. We march to destroy him now. We march to destroy the leader of the Flash Gitz.

Badrukk? But he just returns if you kill him. [Confused]
[Looks st ceiling]

... [Picks up Kimmy, and heads to Butter Tank] Oh look, story time and then bedtime. Let's see what books the Protoss left you, eh?

[Slams hatch and locks it] [Opens hatch again and evict several cats] [Slams hatch]

*looks at Verviedi*
I'm sorry but are you soft in the head? I've tried to kill him several times in my timeline when he somehow appeared, and every time I did so he came back to life. I'm sorry but there's no chance.

...Wait. You're in two timestates at once?

*Looks confused as Battlesuits begin to land and execute every Ork nearby, burning the corpses to eradicate spores*

How do they bring him back?

Pretty much yes. I was on Terra with some of my brothers from the other Legions. There was an Emperor's Children, an Iron Hand, an Imperial Fist, and some odd pumpkin. Then Badrukk showed up and attacked the Emperor's Palace with a horde of Flash Gitz. So we fought him, and it is legend amongst the Imperials that even if Badrukk dies he'll just respawn. Nobody knows his secret.
