Actually, that's a good point.

OOC: This reminds me of a story due to the whole 'orks are idiots' thing.

Some storm cast eternals approach orruks to negotiate with them. They watch the orruk fights and see they put the heads of orcs on spikes towards the fight, the eternals go 'well that's barbaric!' And somebody says 'oh, no its so the dead can watch the fights as a feudal tradition!'

The biggest mistake you can make in war is underestimate your enemy. Orks are surprisingly smart. They can make guns out of scrap, are potent psykers, and they can take over worlds. You should all know about Armageddon...

[Notices pla] I'm assuming you managed to avoid insulting people too much in my absence. Well done, that's a genuine improvement.

Feel free to ask the others, Yarrick. I have held my tongue for the most part.

*OT is busy trying to convince Ra that The Dark Knight is better than the 89 Batman film*

(marla)

Og yes, I said savage, not stupid. There combat capabilities are excellent, there instinct is well designed for warfare and can survive in almost any conditions.

They lack fear, they can survive cold, heat, radiation and more.
There perfect warriors in some sense.

Hey corpral. He,s right. No arguments yet... Anyway.

Well your lack of black eye and no missing teeth attests to it more. [Smiles]
I've probably done more social damage than you, lately.

[Looks contemplative] I never thought life with such a smaller band of people would be so... Complicated.

*whining of engines can he heard*
*several large crates are dropped onto the ground*

Ah good, they're here.

Oh yes, this place is odd.... But I enjoy it here. Its almost home.

Now wk got the pdf job, it kinda is homey...
And benny. Your daughters a very smart one. Shel be able to look after herself in no time.

*Hears crashing of crates, Ra and OT stop arguing to come over a look*

OT: Woah. What are those? *whispers to Ra* Heath Ledger is the better Joker

Ra: *Glares* NO HE'S NOT!

*smiles*

I felt we had too many security issues around here.

*motions to a group of Kroot wielding shock batons who are circling the cages*

Ready, kindred?

*Eyes widen*

Oh no... HIDE!

*Dives for cover with Ra*

(From cover)

KROOT HOUNDS EAT BIRDS YOU IDIOT!

*looks at crates and checks on her power sword*
What is in there...

*cocks head*

No need for name calling. And no, they aren't kroot hounds. We already have those.

*gives a signal to the Kroot who open a crate*
*a booming roar is heard before a knarloc steps out*

Besides, these are much more of a deterrence, wouldn't you agree?

*joins to Kroot who quickly guide it to a penned off area, and repeat the process with the rest of the crates*

*Glares from behind sofa*

You are SO cleaning up after that monster

*looks on at the karnloc*
That's... That's definitely far more dangerous... Like so many times more. ...

Another Knarloc farming initiative? Don't you remembet the last one?

The PDF is fine as is. We don't need a Kroot beast feasting on my men y'know.

Well my husbands now training said pdf recruits. Id rather he not be snack food...

Oh and plas. Your pdf training on medical matters is dreadful. I'm fixing it but .. Lungs that pump blood....

They're conscripts. We have a medical division anyways.

That was your medical division... I'm retraining them to know a brain from a blood cell...

Give me time Il have rather more skilled.

[Sighs] That's Imperial budget for you. Plenty money for bloated sectors like accounting and dinners and transport... Nothing for education and healthcare.

[Smiles sadly] I wish it was otherwise.

I'm undoing that. In my own time. Technically I'm a Martian trade envoy but there's not much to do for now. I'm just supervising the new acquisition of a star system for mining.

Its going pretty well.

*shakes head*

I remember it quite clearly. This time, it will be away from the mailbox. Besides, if you keep your gue'la from antagonizing the knarlocs, we won't have problems. If they start throwing rocks, or poking them with sticks, then I will not be held accountable for the knarlocs retaliating.

Long as they don,t hurt me, wk, or fluffy I'm fine.

*marlas rather large puppy stood behind her not trusting the new beasts*

I'd prefer not to have them around at all. They're wild animals that could turn on us easily.

The kroot knows how to handle em. And we can design some fail safe collers with a shaped remote melta charge located on the spine. I could even build one, there simple as feth.

*walks off to repressor holding hands with wk and locks hatches behind them*

*Grasps handle of Samehada tightly*

Just. Keep. Them. Out. Side.

*can be heard bellowing orders at the PDF recruits off in the distance*
NO YOU IDIOT! YOU PULL THE PIN THEN THROW THE GRENADE! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!

[Rolls eyes] They're just Knarlocs. The Kroot have worked with them for countless centuries. It's like you fearing one of the Kreigers' horses.

Then again, some of us are more edible than others. [Smiles unkindly]
