**Verviedi**

*Walks out of office*

*Shoots JamesGang*

*Steals his chair*

**JamesGang**

This means...

**Buttery Commissar**

[Passes JamesGang some of the remaining medical supplies box]

[Sigh] This simply will not do, if only on a manners basis. Whilst JamesGang is not the Emperor, he's the closest we have, and the only other person in this room that understands dining etiquette.
Possibly the dragon does too, but you didn't shoot him.

[Sighs again] [Takes out bolt pistol] [Shoots Verviedi in a perfunctory manner]

**Co'tor Shas**

Now I feel left out...

*shoots drone with pulse pistol*

**Verviedi**

*Checks encyclopedia program*

Apparently that round has a... 0.013% chance of actually doing anything. I suppose that was enough retribution for breaking 3 washing servitors.

I don't feel very dead, but I think the gunshot caused my Angelic.... friend? to be very error shunt abort.

**zombiekila707**

*The flying squiggoth slams onto the remains of Verviedi I jump off its back where it leaps in the air and flys away!*

I bringz da newz

*Pulls out a piece of paper and looks at it intently*

I havez paper!

**Buttery Commissar**

[Shrugs] To be fair, it was just meant to distract you whilst my butter tank was busy flooding your office with a few hundred gallons of unsalted. [Points to pipe retracting back to tank]

Enjoy.

**Verviedi**

AHHHHHHHH!

++SEVERE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE - STASIS FIELD ACTIVATED++

*Squiggoth gets stuck in rapidly expanding field*

**shasolenzabi**

"That will be a major clean up issue once it cools and solidifies!"

**zombiekila707**

*Clicks button on orky data slate, Squiggoth teleports away into the stars awaiting orders*

*Walks over crumples up paper sheet and throws it a Verviedi*

What can I say, I'm an artisan at being a pest. [Bows]

[Looks at Verviedi] That doesn't look healthy.

Zombiekilla, you repaired that grot, do you know anything about fixing terrifying metal spider people?

Oh Iz gotz good ideas for dis onez! Youz humiez can countz on me!

*Picks up Verviedis remains and runs to the workbench*

**Buttery Commissar**

Yay! Remember, 'umie parts only, Zombiekilla. Don't got adding any squirrel or Ork or anything.

Uh... [Raises hand to object] [Lowers it again]

...He'll probably be fine.

Did you break Vervi' again!?!

Hmm, I might have a cell-cloner around here somewhere, and plenty of spare parts. I wonder what would happen if I installed a tau micro-computer in him. And some of his mechadendrites could use upgrading. I might also be able to do something with his power supply, a mini plasma generator wouldn't go amiss...

**Co'tor Shas**

*opens up vervi'*
*a large number of loose electronics fall out*

Well then, that's not good.

*glances inside*

You have what appears to be a wheel, with a decayed rodent of some kind in place of a generator......

**Verviedi**

*Twitches*
I'm pretty sure there is a plasma reactor in there somewhere . I am not surprised that there are a very large number of random component in there honestly . I still , I do not know whether it is actually possible functions .

**Buttery Commissar**

In defence of what happened, I specifically said no squirrel components. I didn't say no small mammals...

[Rubs back of neck] On the plus side, if you can't repair Verviedi, he can't get angry about this or the state of his office...

**Co'tor Shas**

No-no, I got this, I just need to fix....
uhhh...

Everything.

First up, let's see if I can get his head off without damaging anything, he probably has a release catch, or some screws somewhere....

**Buttery Commissar**

That... That isn't what heads do. And I think you know that.

Not that I'd wish to correct your approach or anything...

**Co'tor Shas**

He's 95% machine, all you got to do it connect it to a life support system. Now it would mess with his emotions if he was a normal human, but it should be fine. I mean, t's not like he has any of the things that create emotion.

*connects Vervi's head to life support system, and wires it to a drone*
*connects the body to a control sytem, to keep it running*

Have fun.
Now I have to go fix this pile of junk.

*drags body into work shop, and much noise ensues*

OOC: I just realized it's 12:30 here, I have to get some sleep.

**Buttery Commissar**

I'm entirely unsure if that's markedly more or less terrifying than usual.

[Bops the drone with a finger]

Nah, this is freaking adorable.

**Verviedi**

Aterrorizante? Como estou aterrorizante? Minha forma é perto o suficiente para a forma humana Santo para não causar medo enorme ...

**Buttery Commissar**

If you insist. Each to their own.

[Shrugs and superglues googly eyes to the drone] [Clips deely-bopper headband atop Verviedi's head]
And now it's adorabl-er. [Innocent face]

Anything actually helpful I could be doing?

**Co'tor Shas**

*yells from workshop*

Hey Verviedi, do you want a plasma generator, or a miniaturized dark matter one?

**Verviedi**

Oh no, I do NOT trust Tau dark matter tech after what happened to poor Shas'Vre Tash'var Toraln and his Riptide...

Also, I'm fine with staying on Windows 95. I think any other OS would cause massive, fatal failures.

**Co'tor Shas**

No, no, it's perfectly safe, just don't try to go over the safety limits. It only kills you then. It's like your plasma weapons.

**Verviedi**

I'm pretty sure the black hole where a small moon was says otherwise.

**Co'tor Shas**

Alright, it more than kills you, but only if you push it past the safety limits. Or damage it too much. Or... you know what, maybe I'll just use the plasma generator.
