"Obnoxiously Pink." The obvious heretek states, "Probably iron oxide mixed with something else in the bedrock. Or some kind of chemical reaction due to the Exterminaturs. My homeplanet turned an orangey-red when all the magma broke loose."

The servo skull flies over the recaff cup and places a proboscis into it ::This has been dehydrated and sitting on a shelf for at least a standard decade.:: she shrugs and swallows. "Got cards. You promise to clean your gauntlets? I don't want that grease over them"

She stares at the Khornate for a moment. "Seriously. Please don't make this a Thing. We respect your ability as a warrior and won't question your sexuality and/or manhood. Now PLEASE, we would greatly appreciate it if we could at least get a target before the destruction begins." Kayleen slings the large gauss weapon on the back of her power armor for emphasis as she sits downand begins dealing out the tarot.

"Anyone else want in?"

"Probably could." She deals out the first 2 cards and turns over the flop. 9 and 2 of swords and Warlord of skulls.

"But its like running off with someone's slaves. You want to see who you're stealing from. Short term gain for long term loss is generally not worth it."

The heretek carefully puts down her two cards and thumps her face on the table. "gently caress's sake." She sits back up and places a lasgun charge pack in the middle as the pot.

Kathleen

Kathleen watches the horrible little microdemon smash the pot, sending recaff all over the table, drowning the cards in play. She sighs, tosses the rest of the deck into the puddle and takes back her laspack. "That was a very nice deck, Butcher. One more thing your god can take pride in bringing a messy end to."

Kayleen

"Hmm. I can save them but they'll be marked, most likely." A mechendendrite, unlike any usually seen in the vortex, emerges from under her arm. Kayleen shuffles the deck in front of it and a cleaning ray scrubs the reside off each card in turn. After a minute or two, the deck is as clean as its going to be, but still too stained and marked to be used in games of chance.

She hands the deck to the psyker "Knock yourself out. Well, not literally."

(Cards are probably poor quality at this point, but have fun!)

Kathleen

"Fine, fine." She stands up, and the mechendendrite pops out of her forearm yet again. "Sawbones, over here!" Kathleen looks inside for the cortex controller and attempts to reboot it.

The heretek backs the gently caress off once its been made clear subverting the servitor is now worth the time/effort/risk involved. Also, it was pretty funny how that dork got chucked across the room.

Hearing more yelling marines, she hopes this dog and pony and nurgling and space chicken show will be underway shortly.

:page3:

"Noted. But I think the servitor got him. From what I understand, Khorne is okay with the guy who started the bloodshedding dying but the ideal situation is that dude survive to continue to kill other stuff at a later date. Also a bunch of dudes fighting and shedding blood, getting patched up, and doing it over and over again generates more blood shed over the long run than just killing them the first time."

She sips the remainder of the recaf mug before checking it isn't filed with blood, poo poo, or other fluids.

"Do I have y'alls philosophy about right?"

"Many people have put a lot of thought into the philosophical choices behind their deities," she stares at Drevan "Some more than others." She slurps half the recaff cup before refilling it with whiskey. "I prefer a balanced perspective by which my studies are uninterrupted combined with minimizing bullshit and maximizing the amount of dead imperials, especially mechanicus." Kayleen decides now is not the time to start lecturing the group of mutant demon-worshiping supermen on the merits of Secular Humanism. "Those bleach blonde power-armored bondage whores are a good secondary choice for annihilation as well."

"Addiction theory as applied so sociological normativity? Hmm, I've heard as such. In the corpse god's military, they have it annotated in their scholastica tactica about conditioning recruits to accept new behaviors as the norm. But I sense the major difference is you're looking at it from an internal view and its reactions to outside stimuli rather than outside stimuli shaping a faceless whole."

Kayleen

The heretek nods. "While true of somethings, Butcher, well..." Kayleen does not draw the scary oversized gun on her back, that glows with green runes, but she leans forward as Sawbones floats over and shines a light on it. "I carbon dated this device I recovered; it dates back to not only when the corpse walked alive, but to before humanity even climbed out of a primordial pool on Terra. Its as deadly as the day it was forged. 99.9999% of everything rots, but there are always outliers."

"Well yes, if a heretic falls in the woods and ascends to demonhood, does anyone hear it? Once you're past the dreg, serf and slave level, appearance and attitude is a vital component of your station in any world inside the Vortex, and most human worlds anywhere, for that matter." She kills the cup. Not literally, even though that's probably possible on a chaos world. "Even those vile Ork creatures decorate themselves and strut about inbetween clubbing each others brains out."

Kayleen is content to listen at this point. All the gods are bullshit but at least people are trying to think now. She scrolls through her datapad connected to her neck port, and out of idle currosity searches for some things the other mentioned.

"...'Longknives" > "brontian longknives.... WHOA."

Her glowing eyes grow wide as she smiles and turns the dataslate around to Drevan.

"So, you used to wear something like this?"


"Takes a man very secure in his manhood to wear that...I don't suppose you still got it around."

*VEET VEET VEET OVERHEAT. SYSTEM FAILURE. SHUTTING DOWN* The gun farts blue smoke everywhere as green lights go dark and the feedback threatens to melt her brain. She screams, partly in pain, partly in frustrated rage, and mostly in embarrassment. She shrieks a torrent of binary that's more or less a threat to the machine spirit to get its poo poo together as she jams her MIU cable back in and smacks it. As the gun reboots, she fires on the sergeant while yelling at the skull.

"Sawbones! Give him a taste of his own medicine. Time for a piggy barbeque!" The servo skull closes in an unloads a torrent of promethium on the cowering cleric.

"Understood. If you're interested in more investigation, I'm more than happy to share my research. I tend to deviate not just from mechanicus imposed rules, but dark mechanicus practices. Even when liberated to conduct research as they see fit, they're slaved to the concept of enhanced natural human physiology." She looks over dead guardsmen, looking for bionics or cybernetic eyes, etc. "And tentacles, no idea why that's so popular. But yes, once we're done killing idiots for reputation, how would you like to see implementation of pure artificial intelligence. From what I understand the Imperium utilizes mutilated corpses as its only means of independent robotic entities."

"Well that's the thing, apparently in the greater galaxy, electronic intelligence invariably tries to kill all human and transhuman life.

Kayleen ignores the dog and pony show going on over at the other side of the room and releases the trigger for a moment. "I think you're pissed mostly about the fact you're an inferior transhuman." She takes a moment to aim. "And I'd suspect you're embarrassed about being dumber than dogshit, but I doubt you've ever had a moment of self reflection in your entire life."

He's probably going to charge this turn, better make this count. "YOLO."

For about half of you guys, its physically melded with your flesh, fer gently caress's sake." she glances up at the vid screen displaying the fight.

Unless there are no objections, trying to get a map, then moving to get the truck and meeting everyone out by the med bay.
