Jared walks, Rifle out, having just entered the room of the Baltic Manticores of the Militarium Tempestus of the Imperium of Man. He's not sure what to expect, so he has his rifle aimed and he moves quietly

[i][b]Footsteps boomed loudly from behind the man as he walks. These footsteps hadn't sounded human however, instead they seemed as if they echoed off the walls with an inhuman loudness, topped only by the metallic noise of the steps. Whatever was behind Jared, it was massive. [/b][/i]"Halt!" [i][b]The voice commanded, with a metallic ring that gave it a truly frightening sound to his words. [/b][/i]
-
[b][i]He turns Ina dime, dropping to a knee with his rifle aimed at whatever spoke[/i][/b]
-
[i][b]The figure that stood there was truly astounding: He bore a tall, eight foot set of white armour, with red accents. He was an Astares, and he held his Chainsword in his right hand, with his Bolter Pistol in his left. The blade of the weapon activated and the chain on the outside let out a menacing roar, making the man speak over it loudly. [/b][/i]"Lower. The weapon."
-
[b][i]He does so, standing up with hands up.[/i][/b] "I mean no harm
-
"Are you of the Imperium?"
-
"No. My ship crashed and awoke me from cryo-stasis p, along with some amnesia,"
-
"So you're not with the Imperium of Mankind?! Are you a damned heretic?! A worshipper of false gods and demons?!"
-
"Honestly, all I can remember is that I was shooting at Tyranids or some shit. Other people backing me up. If that sounds like what your describing the I guess I'm with you guys."
-
"Killing those -blam!-ing 'Nids? Alright, should be good."
-
"My name is Corporal Jared Carmichael
-
Quickly enough, he was met by a patrol of Tempestus Scions, about ten of them. Some had Hotshot hellguns, while some wielded plasma guns, meltas or flamers. [i]"Halt! Who goes there?"[/i] They surrounded him, their weapons pointed at him.
-
"I am Corporal James Carmichael of the 117th hunters." He says, holsters H his weapons
-
[i]"We are unfamiliar with that regiment of the Imperial Guard. What is yout bastion planet?"[/i]
-
"We were stationed on... On... Shit. That explains why I can't explain where Okinawa was. I've got -blam!-ing amnesia from the crash." He looks up at them. "I do not remember. I've been in cryo sleep for god knows how long."
-
[i]"is your allegiance to the Imperium of Mankind?"[/i]
-
"All I can remember is a war, but I believe it is. Fighting, what were those things called, they were kind of inhuman de one type things. Started wi a T I think."
-
[i]"Tyranids? Tau?"[/i]
-
"Yeah the first one. That's why these things look familiar to me." He says looking around
-
[i]"yeah, you don't say... alright then. We'll bring you to base."[/i]
-
"Thanks. My armour needs a bit of repairs too, and I'm running low on ammo." He says, hand on machete
-
[i]"the Techpriest will tend to it, don't worry."[/i]
-
"If it's all the same to you guys I'd rather not have others tinkering with my armour. A small superstition I have."
-
[i]"oh yeah? And why's that?"[/i] They began to grow suspicious.
-
"Cause last time someone did I almost turned into a walking bomb. Luckily I shot the bastard before he did, or we wouldn't be having this conversation."
-
[i]"Well we're professionals. We know what we're doing. And we can't let Imperial personel run around with malfunctioning equipment. I'm afraid your little superstition will have to be ditched."[/i]
