*marla* fire proof....
That's why we have a melta gun.... or heavy flamer, or multi meta....heavy bolter should work...

You don,t trust me.....
*Looks annoyed* our father gave you a fething ship and you don t trust us....
Ok... its a hulk and not worth towing but....it's still alot of scrap metal...

I said I don't trust sisters. You are not sisters. You are Marla. It's like me saying I don't trust people. You aren't people, you are a person.
And I'm very grateful for the ship, by the way. Thank you.

Ok... ok...
It gets slightly confusing when your battle sisters, sisters as in maria and yet both at same time.... technically a retired sister by virtue of combat service rendered....

*Maria looks happy*
Good, id just be careful. I'm not sure if all the old crew are dead...
Dark mekk... they don,t die by normal means.

I make good weapons, don't worry. I'm sure I'll be able to handle whatever it can throw at me.

*gets hit in the head with a pool stick*
*several knives get drawn*

And I thought getting shot by plasma would be the highlight of my day.

*reaches for katana and stops*

Might as well give them a chance.

Just a warning . We never fully boarded the ship .
It was plasma fires, burnt from stem to stern for days.

Still be hot areas now and fires burning.
*Marla shrugs*
Those things.... refuse to die like organics.

*Looks at bar*
Now not best time for a drink....

*perks up at the mention of weapons and glances down at the plasma gun she's holding*
Guns are great!

Oh yes... *marla draws relic grade master crafted power sword *

But some times you cannot beat power swords
Ok... ok... its not exactly.... standard issue....

Flamers are fun though. And I kinda have 21 different variations....

*Perks up*
Oh, would you like one of mine? I need a test subject, and you'd be perfect!

One question though, how likely is it to explode?

*Sits on bar stool smiling*

*Begins whistling a tune*

*Pulls out a ornate wooden pipe and packs it with a strange concoction of herbs and minerals.*

*Begins smoking, the smoke I exhale is a purplish blue*

*Watches the room, still smiling*

*punches a man in the gut*
*gets stabbed in the arm and rams the hilt into someone's throat*

Don't blame me, blame Rob for making me this way!

*rips the knife out of his arm and throws it into a third fighter*

It's likely to be overly complex, extremely powerful but use a dangerous power source....

Guns are good, but swords at least don t blow up on you...
*Marla shrugs*
We never use much plasma for a reason...

Hmm...
Not likely at all. I've never had a weapon using this tech explode on me.
*Fishes around inside a workbench and pulls out a sleek-looking rifle*
This is the PAR PlasRail Mk. 2. It's better than your current weapon in almost every way except ammo capacity. Would you like the crash course in using it?

*gently sets down plasma rifle*
Sure. Why not?

*Looks over a Verviedi and Wk*

*Grins and walks over*

So what weapon is this? Hopefully it doesn't go off...

*Continues puffing from pipe, the smoke is now shades of yellow with hints of green*

*walks off back to her repressor to finish paperwork*
Just shput if there's a medical emergency....

There always is...
*Goes into repressor anc closes hatch..*

*Brandishes activated Gloom Prism*
Oh hell. Please don't kill us all.
*Turns back to WK*
This knob selects firing mode. This setting is standard, but it also has a caster mode that allows it to function like a flamer, although far more devastating.
Safety, of course, is right here.
You reload by pressing this button, pulling the canister out, and putting a new one in. Pretty simple.
The sights are perfectly aligned to 500 meters right now, so you should be good for close-range shooting. No shot drop due to being plasma, so don't worry about that.
*Points at a small screwed-on plate*
That's general diagnostic settings, no need to touch that. It's effectively a black box that logs target data and weapon temperature.
Turn the knob to all the way down to EMERG SCRAM, turn the safety off, and hold the cartridge eject button for three seconds to overload the plasma cartridge. Free grenade on a timer of five seconds, although the blast radius is a little bit... variable. You'll want to run after you throw it.
*Hands WK the weapon*
Want to try it out?

*takes the weapon and begins examining it, being sure to keep the safety on and the weapon pointed away from everyone*
Hmm

*Gloom prism disappears from Verviedis hand*

And what is this?

*Examines orb with interest, looks back to V*

Why would I kill? Not good for business...

*Gloom prism reappears in Vs hand*

That thing would work on the beings of this universe... But I am not some creature made with debased emotions...

You rang? [Sits up]

*carefully takes aim at a nearby training dummy and releases the safety*
*fires and blows a hole the size of a dinner plate through the dummy's chest*
*lets out a low whistle and puts the weapon on safe again*

*marla from a open hatch*

Impressive....still not quite a bolter shell...
High explosive diamond tipped...
Perfect vs squishy humans...

*smiles*
There's no bullet drop, so I think this has the edge over the bolter

*walks away from a pile of unconscious and dead men*

They should've listened. Now, what else is there to do around here?

*smiles*
Can you fire them in 30 round magaxines, on full auto and turn a human into a red mist.....
Then reload in seconds....

Bolters are a pain to maintain but so much better than the guard weapons. Las.... *laughing* its a flash light..

Demonstrate the caster mode. Can a bolter do this?

*flicks it over to caster mode and raises it*
*aims at another dummy and pulls the trigger*
*a torrent of blue flame shoots out and incinerates it, leaving nothing but ash*
*reloads*

*stands up*
Ok...

*Casualy stands by hatch and obliterators multiple targets in controlled burts in seconds*

*Rapidly reloads*
Hardly a flash light... *smiles*

Much as I love blowing up stuff. We are just proving we all have extensive armouries.
It's fun though....

Ooh plasma flamer....

Ooh, how much would it cost for me to get ahold of one of these?
