RE: Vrettakan 4th PDF ColRf

The 4th Marshal of Vretak is lodging a formal complaint about the Vretak Administratum. While requests were made for cloth in colrf.#008080, after the usual 70-year wait for supplies, the 4th Vrettakan was supplied with cloth in colrf.#18abcc; completely inappropriate, and quite unusable. I trust that this oversight will be corrected within 50 years- warp currents and Linteum-Mechanicus quotas permitting, of course.

RE: Vrettakan 4th PDF ColRf

4th Marshal, I was informed of this grave error 143 standard years ago, and have pushed forward production of your fabric since then. Delays in shipping have resulted in an inability to provide your Planetary Defence Force with fabric in colrf.#006B5A for 298 standard years. For this we apologise. However, you will no doubt experience relief to know that a transport containing 30 uniform’s-worth #006B5A fabric will be despatched in 3.76 hours from transmission, ETA 8 standard months. Thank you for your patience.

RE: Vrettakan 4th PDF ColRf

The 4th Division’s Commander- Lucius Epidius- was pleased to hear of the replacement cloth’s shipment; his family has been waiting for it since his great-great-great-grandfather had control of the 4th. He was, however, somewhat concerned about the amount of cloth produced; we hope dearly that we do not sound ungrateful [particularly considering the recent shipment of a refurbished Valdor Tank Hunter], but 30 uniforms-worth of cloth shall barely clothe one tenth of the 4th Division.
We also, of course, are greatly appreciative of your efforts to push forward production of the cloth, but Cmdr. Epidius hopes that you appreciate the gravity of the situation. Remember, our troopers have had to fight off several unpleasantly large vermin infestations over the course of 300 standard years, clothed in incorrectly-coloured uniforms!
We hope that more cloth will be forthcoming as soon as is possible for you and your production-worlds to make it.

I hope, then, that you will tell Cmdr. Epidius that supplying Militarum regiments in the Holy Crusade in the neighbouring subsector. I am sure that he will understand what takes precedence.

RE: Vrettakan 4th PDF ColRf

Magos-Linteum, we must apologise. Almost 450 standard years ago, our PDF received incorrectly-coloured cloth for our uniforms. We have waited for many years for a replacement, but have never received it, despite our sending several astropathic messages to your predecessor. However, to our great embarrassment, we have recently cross-checked the colrf of the cloth, and discovered that it actually matched our original order. The fault therefore lies with us. We apologise. Lucius Epidius III, Commander of the Vrettakan 4th when the original message was sent, has been retroactively condemned for wasting Mechanicus time.
We apologise again.

See that stuff above? Completely true. All of it, every single word. Stands to reason.

Well, I was happy with it, at least.
