Vicissitude

You ever do the chicken dance at a wake? That really bothers people.


Life in the Guard is simple. Not easy, but simple. You listen to your CO and do what he tells you. The only thing is there tends to be a whole lot of people trying to stop you from doing what he said to do. One of the reasons that Volkmere became a scout was because it gave him time away from most people. No more sergeant yelling at you for the most minor of infractions, usually nobody shooting at you and trying to send you to the Emperor's embrace. No, generally you had nothing but open skies (on the worlds where there was a sky to see) and fresh (relatively speaking) air. Some light recon, a shot taken from long range without anyone the wiser for it, and he'd slip away back to camp. Or maybe he'd take an extra day or two, claiming he was laying low while the enemy tried to find him. It wasn't dereliction of duty, really. Just a bit of unofficial R&R.

His eventual discharge found him on a hive world similar enough to home, but a little further upspire than where he was born. It wasn't the highborn quarters by a long shot, but neither was it the rotting ruin of the underhive. Joining the PDF wasn't a particularly appealing notion. Volkmere had enough of that in the service. A few private gigs here and there kept him fed and housed but it just didn't have the same appeal. The hive was massive but there was no sky to see. Even the distant ceilings of his level wouldn't cut it. A quick mercenary license application found him a job tracking down contraband runners on Dxun.

It was kind of funny how they turned out not to be bootleggers. Volkmere's first job had put him closer to the archenemy of mankind than any of the battles he'd fought in the Guard. The smugglers were bringing in trinkets and scriptures that hurt the eye to look upon. There, among the dozen dead and wounded, he was stunned and bag placed over his head. Waking up in manacles he found himself facing an inquisitor. He asked Christian what he knew of these heretics and was told, truthfully, not much. They ran contraband and there was a bounty out for their capture or death. It wasn't until looking at the goods that he knew they were more than that, but what they were Volkmere couldn't say.

Apparently that was a good enough answer for the inquisitor 'for now', as he said, but the acolytes wouldn't be able to get him back to claim the bounty anytime soon. It would have to be the long way for a trip home. That's alright. Volkmere would pitch in and do his part until they got him there.
