>I guess a few weeks of warp transit to rest and relax was just what I needed.
>Anyway, we exited the warp with several other ships near a hive world.
>Apparently a Shadow in the Warp is getting closer to this system and the planetary Governor has enough sway to requisition a few regiments to protect this world during the feast of the Emperor’s Ascension.
>If he knows the Nids are coming and has enough money to bring us all here, why doesn’t he just leave?
>Probably just doesn’t want to leave behind all his stuff.
>He was nice enough to “gift” me a new tank though, although the tank crew seamed rather confused when I kicked them all out and replaced them with my own men.
>Currently we are in a parade going down an upper mid hive highway with the other regiments to ensure the citizens everything is fine.
I’mtoosoberforthisshit.alcoholic
>Don’t even think these people really know who we are or what we’ve done.

>At least we’re getting back up from the local regiment.
>They all seam pretty weird, having this thing about exposing their foreheads, either covering it with bandanas or helmets.
>Many of them are also bald.
>I guess every regiment has their quirks.
>Who am I to judge?

>Either way after the parade this should be a nice and simple assignment, with few surprises…

>Still be sergeant Yuri.
>Still be in a parade with several other regiments from across the galaxy.
>Still be agonizingly sober.
>The one advantage of this assignment is I get to see the different tanks from across the galaxy.
>Never seen a "Rogal Dorn" tank before now, but they defiantly look interesting to command.
>Also what tank commander doesn't love getting to see Baneblade in person?

>Anyway, after hours of navigating the freeways in a parade the population doesn't seam all that interested in, we arrive at the planetary governors palace and he starts giving a speech to us and the citizens of his planet.
>The governor is so fat he needs a anti grav belt just to be able to move around.

>Governor gives a speech, talking about how we’re all fools and he brought us all here so his gods could feast “blah blah blah I’m a big fat frakking heretic. Someone please shoot me blah blah blah.”
>Naturally not the smartest thing to say these things in front of a loyal son of the emperor bored out of his mind sitting in a Leman Russ.
>Line up a shot and fire.

>It misses but he goes back into his palace.
>Briefly thankful he at least shut up only for him to continue his monologue over every speaker in the Hive.
>Emperor damn it, this fat bastard likes to hear himself talk.
>Call in his cords to see if I can get artillery or a orbital strike or something on his house.
>The local PDF with the head bands start to turn on us as well.
>Have no clue why they're siding with a fat slob heretic with a vore fetish over their fellow guardsmen but to each their own.
>Besides at least mowing down heretics in the name of the Throne will distract me from the fact it's the Feast of the Emperor's Ascension, I still haven't gotten any Emperor damned alcohol!

>Ever since my last assignment with master on that desert world, I had been taken under the care of the nice enginseer, Zeta-23
>Instead of being reassigned to a new master like previous times, he said I was some sort of "relic", and wanted to make sure I was put in the right hands
I'monlyafewmillenia.artefact
>Anyway, we made a few friends on that mission, and we're supposed to be part of some parade
>Hopefully they let me fire at some practice targets, or even traitors to show off to the crowds
>Thing is, I need someone to wield me, and I'm not particularly fond of any of the skitarii the enginseer wants to pair me with
>They just don't know how to treat a plasma gun like a Valhallan does
>At the same time, the enginseer wants to make sure my next master can survive a lasgun shot and report to him

>In the meantime, he's keeping me with him until he can find someone we both deem worthy
>Fast forward a bit, and we're at the parade
>The enginseer is sticking by Sergeant Yuri and his new tank
>Start lighting up a bit, hoping I might get to fire some shots to impress the crowd
>Hear a bit of commotion start up, and next thing I know, the enginseer is ducking in cover, readying me to fire

>On the way down through the mid hive we pass a parade of various IG regiments.
>Briefly think I spot Zeta-23 but figure that would be impossible.
>Reach underhive.
>She wants us to be extra careful to scan for Genestealer corruption since the Nids are approaching this world.
>This turns out to be the right call as the medi skull reports positive for xeno DNA in several citizens.
>Since we don’t want a repeat of the whole Forge World Morod incident, instead of shooting them outright in front of all their siblings we instead mark them and place them in a separate cart to be incinerated once we return to the ark Mechanicus.

>Suddenly out of nowhere, all the speakers in the hive turn on broadcasting some speech.
>It seams the Governor has officially declared himself a heretic now, so we don’t need to pay for our fuel or slaves anymore!

Uhhh. Just letting you know, the group to infiltrate the governors bunker. And the group going down into the underhive to get the dreadnought are two different things.

Also Yuri here, I never agreed to go on the mission down to the underhive or the governors bunker. I had a different thing in mind I didn’t write yet.
>>
>>86872501
Sorry, Zeta-23 here, intent was that we'd blow up some people between here and the bunker then pull back and let the bunker group do their thing while we do whatever
Didn't mean to take over your character or imply that this is part of the underhive thing Zeta-23 is just obsessed with keeping an eye on everything

It’s fine, really I’m guilty of the exact same thing Remember in the last thread how I forced your character to kill some other guys character out of nowhere? let’s just wait a bit for the other posters to see if your idea goes forward or gets ignored and we’ll go from there. That fine with you?

Well my original plan was to have Yuri pull a gun on Inquisitor [Redacted] (who is also me) when he recognizes him for what was from his POV psyker mind rape. And Zeta would presumably defend him and we would go from there. But I guess that can wait until Zeta gets back from his mission.

Yuri here, I could start a new thread if everyone wants but I don’t know it there’ll be interest since like someone said their are long periods of no one posting. I don’t know if it’s best to just rap up things here or start a new one.
>>
>>86972454
Zeta-23 here, I'd like to continue but I share the concerns about interest/activity. Maybe something should happen to put everything on a bus for the next time?
>>
>>86972454
Still Yuri. I also plan to do a thread for Christmas later. So this isn’t the full end.
