You are made of butter - I am the Divine Crusader. Your death has come, buttery commissar!

I think all the time spent shouting about elves has damaged your hearing, squire.
I'm merely buttery as a descriptor. I'm not made from dairy... Just means I go down pipes easily and can't run on tiled flooring.
It also means I melt in the mouth.

I will drink.

You're being... Really useful....

I am quickly running out of circulatory fluid and oil. Could I have.... *Dodges box cutter* ...anything that can provide.... *Slashes mechandendrite across sing your life's chest* ...more fluid to me?

On my pay grade? Uhh... [Rummages in pockets] I've got... Superglue? [Tosses it over]

Don't look at me like that, they didn't even let me have a real power sword.

[Wracks brain] [Runs a line from inside the butter-tank to Verviedi] Oil, sir!

Interesting. I hope I will be ready to get rid of all that butter before I die of cholesterol poisoning.... *Blocks knife slash with augmetic arm* ...Or via knife.

*Mechandendrite applies superglue to throat*

Thank you!

*Pulls sinister-looking sword out from under robe and slides over to Buttery*
I'm pretty sure this works with non-augmented humans... Got it off some officer who died of radiation poisoning. I think the power source is a bit- *Ducks* ...Nevermind. The shielding SHOULD be enough, but... *Knife hits patch of flesh on arm* Ow!

I am somewhat impressed that I.... *Pistol whips sing your life* ...am managing to hold my own against a.... *Ducks kick* ...Cartel boss!

I don't have a heart, shame on you.

Chest cavity, same difference.

I'm still standing without any problems.

That's fine... I'm dying slowly, but.... *Gets knocked back, remains standing* ....just don't interrupt.... Can't fight 2 at a time...

*Skitarii continue fighting gangsters in the background*

I can help you die quickly.

I would prefer not dying... *Pokes sing your life with taser goad, creating a hole in the environment suit*

Stop! Why can't we talk about this over a glass of tequila?

That would be preferable to mutual destruction.
*Skitarii procure a table*

What do you desire?

THE DEATH OF ELFKIND

Salud!

*pours everyone a drink of tequila*

I have no mouth, but there are alternative methods of drinking.
*Skitarius takes my glass and places it in a sealed container*

I am afraid I cannot allow you to kill all Elves. If every Elf died, then who would be left to learn how to operate their technology from?

You, your friends, and some Elven books?

Elf technology is psychically active. This means it can only be operated by an Elf or Pskyer. I need them alive so I may reverse-engineer their tech to work for anyone.

In addition, the Elf language is incredibly complex. Even my xenolexicon servitors have difficulty reading it.

Isn't that "heresy" in your book?

Get better "xenolexicon servitors". You bring shame on your ancestors!

The misguided ranting of my "Puritan" brethren do not adequately reflect my views. They may call me Heretek and bar my fleets from their docks, but I believe the only heresies are the use of daemon-tech or artificial sentience.
If Mankind is to survive, we must learn to make use of Xenotech.

My Xenolexicon servitors are top of the line for so far from Mars. They simply cannot replicate the subtle psychic influences or body language of the Elven language.

So you are hated by your own kin?

Hah!

The schism of Mars runs deep. Many of my order share my views... But the so-called "Puritans" name them Heretek if they make their ideas clear.
It is the Puritans who are the true cancer, stagnating, restricting.... The Machine-God smiles upon those who innovate, those who discover.

My fleets are all from those Magi who support my views, and my Skitarii and other forces are absolutely loyal....

You just confessed to being a loser, really.

How so? In a mere century I have discovered more than most discover in millenia.

Hey, now. I believe you were the one who escalated a friendly discussion with superheated knives.
Which also means I'm reticent to trust anything drinkable in your presence if I'm honest.

Nobody likes you, least of all those filthy Elves you consort with!

Lies! I command fleets! I hold two entire forge worlds to my name, and have allies in the Imperial Guard and on the Craftworlds!

Sounds like a failure to me.

God dam it! The Noobbomb just stepped in crap and got it all over the carpet. Go outside will you?!

Damn divine crusader can't even wipe his friggin shoes..... Useless person In a monkey suit is all...


Verviedi and Sing your life! I have Zulu on BLU-Ray and lemon squares! Let's enjoy the show!

That wasn't crap.

That was what happens when you step through the entrails of the population of an Elven city you just slaughtered.
