The marine nodded.
"You sure you've not done this before? Alright when the flashbang goes off I'll draw their fire, you keep your head down, got it?"
The marine cloaked and moved into position, waiting for the loud bang.

I shrugged again. "And we want them dead all the same. I'm not saying they're not a threat, just that they're a wholly separate one from Chaos." I paused. "Most of the time, anyway."

"Never met a dark eldar then. Just mind yourself, especially around the inquisition around."

"Fair enough." With that, I tucked back into my dinner. Seemed I was going to have to keep my thoughts to myself for a while. Hopefully I wouldn't have too much trouble with that. Hopefully.

I'd be more prepared if something happened, and feel far more safe, if I kept the majority of it on. With that, I laid back on the bed, putting my helmet to my left and my lasrifle to my right, and shut my eyes.
