The marine was alerted by his armor of an approaching person. He spun quickly, and raised his rifle. He saw something that he'd not encountered yet, and held his fire.
"Keep your distance, and identify yourself!"
English
-
[i]"Easy there, boy. Not here to harm you. That is, until you try any funny business."[/i]
-
"You'd be surprised how many people say that and don't mean it. I don't know you, and haven't met any of your race. So I'm going to practice caution."
-
He eyed the man's gear. [i]"Not from this universe either, huh? I could see how all of this is confusing."[/i] The man before him, standing at around 20 feet in height, seemed pretty relaxed for having a gun pointed at him.
-
Not particularly concerned with the man's height but noting that he was calm. That meant he had some training and experience. "You could say that I'm out of my depth."
-
[i]"I was, too. Long ago. Long, long ago..."[/i] He began pacing, calmly, seemingly just to stretch his legs. [i]"What's your name?"[/i]
-
"Blackburn, what's yours?" The marine lowered his weapon, but didn't remove his finger from the trigger.
-
[i]"Name's Traliks. People around these parts call me the Jack of All Trades. Now, if you were from around here, you would definitely know who that is. But you're not, so I don't blame you."[/i]
-
"Jack of all trades? There's a story around that I wager. What are you doing out here? Have you been to the general quarters?"
-
[i]"Yep. Nice enough place. Seems it's where most people stay..."[/i]
-
The marine's hand left his rifle, he seemed to relax. "Well, I guess if they trust you enough to let you inside I shouldn't try to kill you."
-
[i]"yep. See? What did I tell ya. Not gonna hurt you."[/i] Traliks chuckled.
-
"That remains to be seen. But I'm willing to trust you for now."
-
[i]"So, little man, what are you doing all the way out here by yourself?"[/i]
-
"Uhh, looking for something. General quarters needs food, supplies, and weapons. I go and find them."
-
[i]"Well, you won't find much food around here, I'm afraid. Well, that is, unless you consider dusty, tainted, rotten food to be food. Last I checked, though, the quarters were doing good on food and whatnot. As for weapons... well, the Imperial Guard has what they need when it comes to weapons."[/i]
-
"You'd think so, but a lot of the rations are still good, no expiration date, as to weapons, those break, need maintenance, and the like. I mainly find parts and material to keep them working. Sometimes I find an armory, I get paid a lot for that."
-
[i]"Chaos doesn't have rations. Only place where you'll find any are at the Imperial Guard camps. Otherwise, looking for food out here is a dead end."[/i]
-
"Word is this ship was once imperial, then it defected or something... It isn't easy to find food, but I still do, in good quantity."
-
[i]"Well, if you're willing to eat rations that are ten thousand years of age, be my guest. But there's a fresh fruit market in the quarters, so I'll be eating those."[/i]
-
"Thousands? Most of this stuff is less than twenty. And that fresh fruit is being grown where exactly?"
-
[i]"This ship is tens of thousands of years old. It has been under Chaos control for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, any imperial rations you would find would be tens of thousands of years old. See the logic? And yes. The fruits and vegetables are being grown locally, within the General Quarters. So I don't exactly see why you go on these ancient ration hunts, but there's plenty of food to go around."[/i]
-
He shrugged, and pulled out a ration. It wasn't an imperial one, these bore the mark of an unknown government a dad the man explain, they were fresh. [spoiler]don't try and invalidate what reasons I have to leave the general quarters. [/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]hue. I invalidated food. Didn't touch the others, dude.[/spoiler] [i]"Other than that, what have you found around here?"[/i]
-
"Weird tech, people, some who need help, others that want to kill me, weird places too, places where physics, and the laws of reality don't apply."
-
[i]"Ah, yes. There's a lot of those around here..."[/i]
