Eldar still do courtship gifts? That's odd. I'll have to build up some sort of technological wonder...

Fine, Il remove the obvious chaos programing but feel like you got worst hangover ever.

*eyes glow with power and starts muttering in ferasian whilst gently teasing out chaos influences. *

*stops glowing*, done, but I need to rest, night folks.
You may feel bad nasua on top of headache like a baneblade ran you over.
But obvious chaos plant is gone. Still need therapy though, it not all fixed and normal.

To V, no ancient gem forged and made of the dust of the universe in the stomach of a void whale and shaped by the very forces that shaped the very stars themselves!

Cannot win at times...
*goes to hall to rest *

Of course we still do those! We are a society that is proud of our traditions. A courtship gift is one of those. I also highly doubt she'll be impressed by your human technology, but that's just me. Also, be prepared to undergo a series of challenges, that's another tradition

"Human" technology... That's somewhat funny, actually. Nothing I do is more than 20% human tech, by this point.
*A tiny white sphere with two buttons begins rapidly assembling, disassembling, changing its design, and then assembling again*

*a small data slate of gems available floats to V with detail of there nature and formation. *

Read it over, ask if you want any when I'm awake.
(mutters) cannot give away rarest gems in universe....

Courtship gifts? Well, I would give the potential mate some sort of token of a great hunt, say an ork warboss' head, for instance.

I offered to give him a gem worth nearly a planet, but no, blinky white thing.

Humans eh.

The fact remains that nothing can surpass Eldar technology, so unless you can work with wraithbone she will not be impressed. Did I mention the challenges?

Ok, fine. What do I have to do to get the gem?
Test one...
*Everyone's attention is irresistably drawn to the space around the device*
Nope, nope, nope. That's borderline cognitohazard threat.
*Device deactivates*

[Stumbles slightly] I feel... Lighter. Also like this is going to hurt in the morning. Plus, I no longer want to kill Taldeer and give Perron the corpse. [Looks relieved]
...He does puppet shows. Sort of.

[Sits on sofa] If Macha is anything to go by, they quite like chocolate and exotic flavouring.
[Blinks] N-not that I'd know...

The challenges have nothing to do with the gift. You can talk to the wolf about your courtship gift.

I'm resting, fixing bc was draining

*sends data slate with available gems, options for carving or shaping and a detailed description of each properties.*
Read, place and order,Il get round to it.

Some heal, others magnify pyskers, one nullifys, few cursed, ones death, one contains a slitherof a eldar gods soul that escaped nurgle...

*shakes head*

I still do not see what is wrong with my suggestion. Proof of slaying a great enemy of her craft world could do no evil, one would think.

Nothing's wrong with it, but the device is a memetic enhancer. I don't really want to make a dead body the single most interesting object in the room.

*facepalms.*
Humans...

[Wanders into the kitchen and comes out again with spiced hot chocolate] [Hands large mug to Taldeer] Just leave them to it. It'll either come to nothing, or it'll.. You know I'm banking on the first part. [Tosses over packet of marshmallows]

*nods in thanks to BC*
I really should know that by now, but you humans continue to surprise me.

*To Verviedi*

"I would let you have a Khaydarin Amulet to give to your lady Eldar friend, but I doubt she would believe that a Terran could make something as sophisticated as a Protoss psionic energy storage device."

*Pauses to think, then adds:*

"Adun help us all if you upset her. I've seen Eldar when they get angry..."

*nods in agreement*
The last time my cousin got REALLY angry she blew up a small moon.

I'll definitely be needing to lower the power of the device I've built. I want it to be something she can use to draw attention away from herself, or draw attention to herself.
*Tests the device again*
Hmm... Too weak.

*looks unimpressed*
This will simply not do Verviedi. It wouldn't even impress Macha, let alone my cousin!

With nothing more to shoot at around here, I am purposeless. It's as if there's a hole in my heart-- hopefully not due to a stray bolter round! Might as well hit up the pubs. We can do that off duty, canonically. But dating sites? Well, you see *blubbering* ...it's, ah, kind of like Space Marines, heh... We might not really... Be able to reap the... Ahem, benefits of meeting... Interesting people. Oh, look, is that a droid? I think I'll go have a look, bye!

Just keep trying I suppose Verviedi
*teleports out*
*I drop pod in*
Hello friends! I have returned! They gave me a new body using a procedure that I dare not talk about for risk of having a mental breakdown. It was extremely painful!
*sees Kiln moping*
Cheer up lad!
*smacks him on the back, sending him flying*
Oops.

*Is now artistically setting gems into the device, and testing it at random*
Hmm... That will do for that portion. I'll have to grab more of that white polyceramic for the second portion.
Oh, hello there!

I was launched so far, I actually did find some droids! ...Just not the ones we're looking for.

[Waves to WK] Cocoa? [Holds up pan]

"En Taro Tassadar, friend Ultramarine. Your new body suits you well."

*Sees KommissarKiln go flying past*

"I'm glad someone did that to him so I didn't have to. He's too trigger-happy for his own good, that Terran."

*accepts the cocoa*
Thank you friend Protoss. It does certainly feel nice to be back in the flesh, even if this is just a biological clone of my original body.
*stretches and unslings boltgun*
They downgraded me back to Sergeant. Apparently I wasn't going about my duty as apothecary properly.
*shrugs*
So now I'm just assigned to watch over this room in the name of Lord Calgar and the Imperium of Man

Hello Sgt, new body, old soul, new flesh,. runes.
*ale and steak float by* breakfast, Marine portions.

To v, id recommend this one, its a gem that heals with application of phsyker energy and Can In right hands he's the mortality wounded.

It may dispel notions humans are barbarians and only can kill each other.

*sits down on sofa, *
So whens the new blood bowl game on. ?
Space wolf team vs dark angels, be a good one.

*Is now making a flowing abstract sculpture out of a disassembled drone and a ton of white polyceramic*
It should look like a ship caught in a tornado... But abstract. The memetic enhancer should draw the attention of all nearby, and that gem will serve to increase the spectacle.
