Field Kit Inspection: Lost Leadership Edition

Listen up men, I don't wish to repeat myself.

Welcome to your new home away from home, lads. This beautiful Lunar class Cruiser that you're standing upon, is known as the "Trophy of all Arrogance". It is currently attached to Lord Admiral Helgoth Varswinter battle group, which is currently transporting the bulk of General Montague's crusade forces through Nachmund Gauntlet of the Cicatrix Maledictum. The ship should contain everything you were accustomed to back aboard the Eagle's Fury, and then some.

In addition, burial detail for those who were lost during the destruction of the Eagle's Fury, will begin at 1900 hours in hanger C-11. If you show up, it is to be in full dress uniform. Anything less is unacceptable. In the meantime, I suggest you get your things put away, and get comfortable. It's going to be a long journey.

Where can I find the following people: Viktor, Van Kleez, Mr and Ms Wyvern, conguradulation by the way, Mr.Wolfe, Han'zo, Priest Michael and the current Commissar Krochemus?

i will only answer by the law of the Farsight Enclave

*seemingly oblivious to the fact that this is a snake person*
YES, WHAT BUISNESS DO YOU HAVE HERE?

Excellent, Mr Han'zo, please sign these two papers
>Presents pair of papers
Now, according to my clients will you get a two handed power hammer and all magazines present on his ship
>Hands a power hammer and sereval kilos of magazines

Oh shit a lawyer. I didn't do it, I swear, you're not getting me ambulance chaser!

WHAT ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT MAN?
ARE YOU SAYING YOU HAVE COMMITED A CRIME?

Hmm Priest Michael, you gain this staff, once touched by Macharius himself, this skull probe with loud speakers for your ceremonies, and these hundred blessed candles
Hmm Mister Morvos, please follow me go get you inheritence...
>He goes to Ars's shuttle

In addition to all of this. Divisional command has granted several long standing veterans of our regiment promotions.

Sergeant van Kleez. You are being given a field promotion to Lieutenant. On the condition that you pass a mandatory Officer training course.

Trooper Wolfe, for multiple instances of extreme bravery, and leadership above your calling, I have been authorized to grant you a promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

Sergeant Dunston. You are being given a commission to Lieutenant, and are being given command of Third company's 5th platoon.

Lieutenant Smith. You are being given a field commission to the rank of Captain, and are being placed in charge of the Seventh armoured company. Along with his, you are being given command of the Leman Russ Vanquisher "Herald Of Praetoria". You'll find your new tank in vehicle bay D-09. It'll be the one with the plasma cannon sponsons, and las-cannon on its front.

NO THEY NEVER FOUND THE EVIDENCE

You'll be doing no such executions, Priest.

GOOD SPIRIT, KEEPING OPTIMISTIC!
STRANGE OFF COLOURED GUARDSMAN!
PRESENT YOUR IMPERIAL INFANTRYMANS UPLIFTING PRIMER!

>present his uplifting primer
i loved the paragraph about self sacrifice and obedience

*the priest would signal for the items to be taken by skull probes for inspection*

Major Matthias, may I ask you where Commissar Krochemus and your wife is?
Also
>Gives a power sabre
According to my clients will, you inherit this fine weapon.
Also may you give Mr. Wolfe this card and helmet? And to Kleez this bag of...medicine and card?
>Hands over helmet, two credit cards and 32 kilo's heavy bag
Now my client was a...man of business, and he decided that you inherit sereval things...
>Takes a tablet
This device for business and...
>Types in the tablet
Control over Victor, also a credit card with 10 000 thrones in it

Rolled 95 (1d100)

YES THAT IS A VERY GOOD PARAGRAPH.
*The priest would turn to the page of the white square and look to see if there were any markings on it*

Tally hoo chaps, My name is Barrington, one of Praetorias best hunters, I heard your regiment is in short supply and decided to lend a helping hand!

>the man taps at the tablet's screen a few times, then places the card into his wallet
Woah... neat. Thanks lawyer man
>the man signs the sleeve of he lawyer's suit, not looking up from the tablet
Now how do I make it into Gothic
>the man wanders into the ship's bowels, pressing buttons on the tablet as he goes

welcome on board !

>Feeling no small amount of pride at his rise in the Ranks, stands tall, though he wonders about the 'Inheritance' that the Trader left behind.

GUARDSMAN!
THERE ARE FAINT MINISCUE RED MARKS ON YOUR UPLIFTING PRIMER!
EXPLAIN THIS!

Ah! Another man of culture! Tis ' good to see!

WELL ALL SEEMS GOOD THEN!
REMEMBER, TO KILL IS TO STEAL, STEAL FROM THE EMPEROR! BE VIGILANT THAT YOU DO NOT DO SO!

in the battle when the morale is low i always pick up my uplifting primer to get me back on the battlefield
and this red marks are here to search faster the paragraph i love, i can even recitate it by heart
"Fight for His glory, for He Fighted for Mankind, Kill the Heretic for Him and eternal glory shall be Awarded"

THIS IS ADMIRABLE. YET ALSO HIGHLY ILLEGAL.
I HAVE DECIDED TO LET YOU OFF FOR THE TIME BEING. NOT ALWAYS WILL I BE SO LENIENT THOUGH!
YOU ARE A TRULY LOYAL SOLDIER, FOR THE EMPEROR I WISH YOU WELL!

>A tall, snake like figure from inside the shuttle waves at him and invites him in
Ah, there you are Mr.Wolfe, according to my clients will, you get this Karskin helmet, with night vision and trackin device, chainsword, and this credit cards with 10 000 thrones
>Tall lawyer hands him his inheritence and opens a panel inside the shuttle, revealing a large, glowing tube
Mayb you also grant Van Kleez his inheritence?
>Hands out 32 kilos heavy bag, filled with vials, a plasma pistol and a credit card

>Attempting to find the Lawyer, makes his way to Ars's shuttle.

thank you sir, i will not do it again i promise !

does anyone know where is the trainnig hangar ?
i have a hammer to test and learn

Hohoho, it is good to see a familiar uniform in here, how is this regiment?

*sticks a purity seal on the man as soon as he opens his mouth*

>Thanking the lawyer, Equips the Helmet and Chainsword, also pockets his card and Van Kleez's share, intending to give the items to him later.

I knew we were going to be reinforced with new troops. But I surely wasn't expecting to see another man of Praetorian descent join us.

Ah, this regiment has It's quirks but you will feel right at home soon enough. Were you assigned under my command?

ASK NOT FROM WHERE THE BODIES FLOW, BUT WHERE THEY FLOW TO!

>Removes it and sticks it on his gun
Ahh yes, I wasn't expecting to see so many fellow Praetorians on this ship.
As a valounteer, you see retirement got a bit dull

Ah, well I shall allow you to do your own thing. You look like you have a good eye for sniping!

GOOD ENOUGH

Indeed I do, been practicing in hunting expeditions, but that's for another day.
We may talk later over tea

are you familliar with xeno hunting tactics ?
because i'd love to do a kauyon with you on the battlefield

>As Viktor is having his fun, he accidentaly calls someone
HELLO, WHO IS IT? ARS IS THAT YOU YOU OLD SCAM?

I'm not sure what this kauyon is cjap, but if you are up for some friendly shooting competition, then I'm in!

Uh... no?
>the man presses buttons at random
Who is this?

>Viktor turns on a flashlight
It's Gars
>Figure shows to be some sort of arachnid
WHO ARE YOU?

it's a tactic called the patient hunter
we bait the enemy in an ambush and we shoot it with extreme firepower

HOW EXACTLY DO YOU INTEND TO HUNT WHILST DRIFTING IN THE VOID?
THERE ARE NO ANIMALS IN SPACE LOYAL GUARDSMAN!

Aaah, I see, don't know why you should give ambush a fancy name, but we can do that

Ah that sounds like an exemplary idea!

are heretics animals ?
the ambush is the last part
the kauyon is the sum of the baiting the wait and the ambush

THERE ARE NO HERETICS ON THIS MOST PURE OF SHIPS, I ASSURE YOU!

IT BETTER NOT TAKE LONG! I SHALL BE BLESSING THE BURIALS OF ALL WHO DIED AS THE EAGLES FURY WAS DESTROYED!
BURIAL DETAIL IS IN ONE TERRAN HOUR!

who want to train with me ?
i want to learn close combat !

>Checks his clock
So when is the burial happening? Also who'll be replacing you commissar?
Also my condolences

Divisional command is picking out a new one for us. But they won't be able to board, until we transition out of the warp, in several days.

That is, if we manage to make it through the Nachmund Gauntlet alive.

*the priest would leave and then return after about ten minutes, now clad in black robes.*
50 TERRAN MINUTES.
*the priest would dart around a cornet and begin composing a speech*

>Hearing the time to the Funeral, begins preparing, .

Rolled 31 (1d100)

*the priest would begin to write a respectful send-off for the deceased men, and not at all use the opportunity for a drastic powergrab*
*roll for quality of speech*

Hmm I understand
>Goes to his room to dress up

>The Praetorian captain would get into his finest dress, himself looking like a an old British king.
>He would not have a pith helmet. Instead he would have a normal formal captains hat on.
>Smtih would be armed with his power sabre, which is currently sheathed

Rolled 97, 56 = 153 (2d100)

*roll for how obvious it is that the priest is trying to get some form of promotion, and the second roll for how effective the speech is at bringing people to the priests side*

>An eldar woman comes out of the shadows into the hangar
*Groans*
Stupid Osiras and his stupid bet, now I have to serve with Mon'keigh for three months
Hello, I'm the new recruit

*michael would be walking out of his study with a 19 page long "speech" in hand*
AH, YOU MUST BE THE NEW SORORITAS CHEERLEADER!
GOOD, I HAD WONDERED HOW MANY TIMES I WOULD HAVE TO SEND THAT REQUEST FORM!
BURIAL DUTY IS IN 10 MINUTES!
I EXPECT TO SEE YOU THERE

>Stares at the new recruit, for whatever reason, cannot fully 'see' them for what they are.

>Shrugging off confusion, walks up and hands her a spare Lasgun. Nods, before gesturing as if to show her about.

I'm not a cheerleader! W-why do you even need cheerleaders here, this isn't some sport?
>Drops the Lasgun unto the ground
I'm more of a melee specialist Mon- erm fellow soldier

>Matthias would let out a long, anguished sigh, as he facepalms out of anger.
>He really must be the only sane one in this entire regiment. If so, it was no wonder the original commander had killed himself, rather than deal with this stupidity.

>Praetorian come out of his room dressed in a red suit with many medals sticking on it
Well that's...strange
Major, does this happen often?

... Far too often...

>Raises a brow, before nodding and showing the way towards the Funeral.

>Reaches a hand out, in offering to take her there.

WELL THE ONLY AWAITED INFANTRY AT THIS POINT IN TIME IS THAT CHEERLEADER I SENT A REQUEST FORM FOR 234 TIMES IN A ROW.
SO THAT COULD ONLY BE YOU.
UNLESS YOU CLAIM TO BE A STOWAWAY.

AND CHEERLEADERS ARE GREAT FOR SOLDIER MORALE! YOU TREAD THE PATH OF A FINE PROFESSION!
WHAT IS WRONG DEAR COMMANDER?
ALSO BURIAL DUTY IS WITHIN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES!

>Snake like figure comes from behind carrying a large tube
Well Mr. Wyvern, at least you got a promotion and a new power sabre, so it can't all be bad.
>He looks over the paper
And since Krochemus is dead, you are getting a baneblade my client left for Krochemus to inherit

>Pats the Major's shoulder, in sympathy.

>quietly, says that he, at least, appreciates his command.

Eh no thanks I'll find it on my own
*shudders*
I'm a...volaunteer, yes! I valountered the guard, yes! So I'm not a part of official reinforcements...

I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MIGHT BE NERVOUS ABOUT PERFORMING ALONE IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF INCREDIBLY LONELY MIDDLE AGED MEN, BUT LYING ABOUT YOUR PROFESSION TO GET OUT OF YOUR JOB IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE ARE NO VOLUNTEERS TO BE FOUND IN SPACE, THEREFORE YOU CANNOT BE ONE.
NOW, IF YOU CONTINUE TO TRY AND DECIEVE ME I WILL HAVE TO DISCIPLINE YOU.
FUNERAL PROCEEDINGS ARE TO HAPPEN VERY SHORTLY AND I EXPECT YOU TO NOT CONTINUE THIS SILLYNESS!

I EXPECT YOU IN PROPER DRESS CLOTHES WITHIN TWO MINUTES!

>Points at Barrington
What about him? He said that he's a volunteer

>in his quarters
>Get his red officer suit
>iron a aquila patch on it
Close enough
>see his face in the mirror
>rebraid his braid, symbol of authority and get his ritual bonding knife on the side
Hmm i'm ready for the ceremony !
>get out if his quarters
Now, where is that damn hangar

HE DID INDEED SAY THAT.
HE WAS ALSO ON THE SHIP BEFORE TODAY.
UNLIKE YOU, NOBLE SORORITAS, WHO HAVE JUST ARRIVED.
NOW I AM BEGINNING TO LOSE MY COMPOSURE, SIMPLY AGREE WITH ME AND WE CAN CONTINUE. YOU ARE STALLING THE PROCEEDINGS.

>Stands in the hangar awaiting the ceremony

>I'd walk up beside the man, both of us looking like we are apart of the British royal family
I do say it is such a tragedy, that Knochenmus is dead. Perhaps he is out killing Orks with the Emperor.

*groan*
I'm not a sororita, but if I agree this once to perform, which I'm not trained to do mind you, will you leave me alone?

Rolled 17 (1d100)

*the priest would walk in to the event, fully composed*
LOYAL SERVANTS OF THE IMPERIUM, WE MEET TODAY TO HONOUR THE FALLEN, THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN GLORIOUS SERIVICE...
*roll for how well the speech is performed*

>forgot nametag

*the priest would see this going badly, and signal for the sororitas cheerleader to distract the assembly whilst he regained his composure*

>Feeling uncomfortable and slightly offended, frowns at the Priest's terrible speech.

Rolled 19 (1d100)

>I'd attempt to give a speech. Brothers and sisters in arms, we are gathered here today to pay our deepest and most humble respects to a Commissar that not only fought hard for this regiment, but cared for it, and nurtured it. We all stand here, as family, together. Some people may have differences, but Knochenmus was the glue who kept us together. He will be deeply missed.

Rolled 87 + 10 (1d100 + 10)

*sigh*
>Begins to perform some sort of burial dance
>Roll for performance, +10 because eldar

>oops rolled by accident

>I'd watch as the Xeno gracefully gave a burial dance
>I'd throw in a rose for goodwill

I got this ships sounds systems to work
youtube.com/watch?v=FsynSgeo_Uo

Rolled 39 (1d100)

*almost getting entranced by the display, Michael decides to quickly finish off the speech in a semi-respectful manner, whilst still trying to gain personal support from the crowd*

>After finishing her dance she bows before the crowd
>Signals Michael to continue his speech

>Claps at the performance
Not bad if I have to say so myself

*michael would rush through the last 19 pages of the speech and vanish off of the stage before anyone could process the many ways he attempted to use the deaths of the many, many fallen guardsmen to his advantage*

>The Captain would announce to the firing squad
Stand by, ready
Aim, FIRE!
>This would go on 3 times , the firing squad firing into the air

youtube.com/watch?v=RduDi4HnXKA

>Smiling, gives light applause.

Beautiful

>Gives off a salute

>A gentle, multi limbed shadow gives off a salute, with faint screeeching echoing in the tunnels

Now might be a good time to get to the bar no ?
