[Picks up a trampled greetings card] ... I think they were celebrating a birthday. [Turns it the other way up]
...Oh. Oh dear.

*glared at the group*

What are you guys doing here?

Rescuing Yarrick. [Points to where Yarrick is being rescued while still tied to a chair, and looking increasingly angry]

[Looks down at card with potato printed Commissariat symbol] I think they were trying to throw him a birthday party.
[Gazes around at destruction and scared grots] [Looks a little unsettled]

We rescued Yarrick!

I feel like you guys keep forgetting Yarricks reputation amongst orks. I was just here for the booze and you all come in guns blazing, so I had to shoot the ork I was drinking with.

He was fine, OT. Ugh, this is why I don't trust any of you with missions I need to do. YOU out of all people should know about how Yarrick is pretty much a celebrity In ork society... if you could call it that

*mike steps up and quickly hides spent shell casings*

Yeah, il... go not be here....
*Goes to stow rifle and hide casings*

In fairness, they did kidnap him, blow up a building and tie him to a chair. It was a coin flip on whether that was friendly or not.

[Kneels down and hands cake out to timid gretchen] [Has wallet stolen while doing so]

But... there was a booby trap... and *Sees something* OI! *Rips open door to large ork build full of various things* YOU ARE THOSE GITZ WHO ARE ALWAYS SHOPLIFTING FROM ORKMART! I"LL TEACH YOU NOT TO SHOPLIFT! *Continues tearing through Orks with The Blade*

They're ORKS.

Son of a bitch thraka!!

*runs over*

Stop bloody killing them!

[Holds out hands in exasperation] Did you see me kill anyone?
[Kicks a grot that's trying to unhitch the powersword from his belt] I even brought cake.

*Glares at Pla* Fine! *Starts whacking their backsides with the flat of the blade*

Voxs
Ya see any heads exploding... I'm not shooting... oh yeah, and the high fabricator of mars now thinks you tried to dishonour his daughter....

Good luck mate

Ugh, I should not be suprised. I am just surprised Amelia didn't come and feth everything up just to try and feth yarrick. A 'birthday gift' because that's seemingly all she can offer.

Can you lot go one day without fething up something vital? Really? I keep risking my ass every time and this is how you all keep acting... just... go. All of you, leave.

*slumped his shoulders and rubbed his head*

*glares at the vox*

I don't need to even try. She does that by herself, daddies girl can try to explain why the feth she decided to use a bunch of titans and skitarii for one person! It's not my fault you refused to listen and kept making situations worse and worse. Get the feth out of here with that 'you pissed off the high fabricator ' bs, she made her own mistakes and he should realize he raised his daughter wrong.

[Yarrick limps back over]: Stop yelling at them for assuming Xenos creatures had malign intent, Hunter. They weren't to know that these Orks were being high spirited rather than dangerous. [Cracks neck] No harm, no foul.

*turned to yarrick*

Why keep defending them, Yarrick? They have done this multiple times, remember the assassin issue? And they would know if they actually learned about you. Or have you not told them of your history?

This is not one isolated incident, I got shot and you got stabbed and we lost that Assassin and Marla got a bunch of people, civilians, killed. She has the blood of the innocent on her hands and none of you give a single feth about it because you all don't realize there are other people besides the one in your little circle jerk because you've all stayed in that ROOM for too long without somebody telling you when you feth up, so you all think you're infallible.

*little red light blinks on plas nose then heart from unseen spot *
*replies *
Much as I agree Marla has her faults, be careful, still family. In fact the plan using her titans combined sensor arrays to filter out the assain was not so bad in a few respects. Nothing can jam one of those anyone can carry. No hiding from them even disquised..

I saw the fire report... Marla destroyed a ruin in a abadoned factory district with several snipers waiting to kill your group. *coldly* few squatters at best mate..

[Yarrick rubs back of neck]: It never came up. Sometimes it's nice to be treated like a human being, rather than a machine or propaganda tool. People talk to me as equals... I've never had that.
[Looks at group] They are pretty terrible, but they are loyal. And not out of fear or duty, but because they believe in supporting one another. Surely you understand why that is important.

*paused*

And that was worth the life of multiple innocents and causing a planetary panic? Even though I had it under control and she initially started the issues when z15 was given that bike! She killed people that were not involved and destroyed buildings. Realize she is a killer of innocents: and she doesn't even care. For me, it's the day I saw dozens of people crushed under a titan for no reason. For her..? It seemed to just be another day, it was over and she tried to look for vacation spots.

Yarrick, loyalty means nothing when those loyal are your downfall. In the very old play much ado about nothing, the loyal servant dog berry was loyal, but he was a fool and caused the mayors daughter to be shamed and villified by all of Messina. When it costs lives of innocents: I see no loyalty. They couldn't even follow a simple request when I said I was going for the assassin that almost killed WK, the one I discovered. Did I get a thank you? No. Did Marla follow my request after I found her husband? No. I have been pushed to my limit, and even after all I have said my words cannot get through your thick walls of ignorance.

You were a hero, Yarrick. Not this...

*shakes his head slowly*

*replies*

Marlas a battle sister... You think she has a clean record with there job and working for a few inquisitors too.

It ain't clean, she has a past, and nightmares too.
You ain't talking to a saint now pal.. Two battle sisters and a assain... Yeah, family is not clean. You think you stay in power without blood?

[Yarrick looks thoughtful] I didn't see any of that, but I did get knocked off a building and impaled in the skull.
Guess that Marla does redefine collateral damage. [Winces]

[Benny raises hand] Actually, I care. Why'd you think I didn't get involved?

It was more than a simple factory, Mike. It was most likely covered up by her.

And I don't use my past an excuse. It's a cowards way out. I prefer acceptance and repentance, not a simple sorry and then let it bottle up.

Well, you want to know WHY you were taken and knocked off? The assassin probably got you while we were distracted with the three armored stooges shenannigans.

*laughs on vox*
Oh no excuses, between us 3 more than one enemy seeking to undermine our family has failed. I don,t hide my job... I'm damn good at it.

Il talk to Marla ok. She,s on holiday but heading back this way to acquire a planet to strip mine in a nearby system soon. See what went on...

[Yarrick raises hand to forehead] I'm not in the slightest surprised. [Sighs]

... [Straightens up and examines the sky] It needs addressing. That's certain.
However... Rag on my reputation again, Hunter, and I don't care who is in the right, we settle this in blood.

Ooc: I however, am falling asleep.

Talk to her, it probably won't get you far.


And yarrick you already claimed you don't care about it. Having second thoughts?

I care that you are using it as a stick to beat other people with.
I am no less of s man than when I first encountered this room. Having friends, finding someone to care for have given me further reason to live, and continue to fight for the imperium.
Yet you say I'm diminished.

*replies*

No, you just need to know how to talk to her... Properly. She,s tell me.

But just look how dad sees it, she brings him a entire planet to strip mine... He,s gonna not care, cold but high lords. Cold as feth ... Ad mech colder still.
Millions of tons of ores, or a commisar? No sentiment in the highest offices, people are but numbers on documents no one reads.

Goodnight commissar. Don,t let the red dot linger my friend.

Ooc goodnight, you write a good argument hunter

If there's nothing else I know, it's that Mechanicus personnel are bastards.
*Nodding*

OOC: alway s, Jhe, back in grade school my principal and teachers said I was so good as getting out of trouble by talking my way out I should be a lawyer.

BIC

You -are- diminished because you don't know that to have true loyalty you can't disobay somebodies request when they KNOW what they did jeopardized a mission. And they didn't get punished or repremanded, you have let them feth about for FAR too long.

*walks into the room behind Hunter and BC*
If you two don't stop arguing I'm going to smack one of you.

*Walks up to the group with some orks*

These guys know how to party.

*Rubs jaw*

And fight, can't believe I was going to slay them.

*Orks look at each other and sprint away*

WAIT, awww.
