Third Ritual of Detestation: The Great Ocean. Action only

[ Garviel walks long the docks of Prospero, as the time approaches the Dark Hour. His blade slung over one shoulder, pistol at his waist, expression cold. Dare you approach the grim warrior? ]

Well then, guess I'll start from... the start: what exactly is an Astartes?

A genetically enhanced human. A space marine. We are made for war.

[She tilts her head to the side curiously, mulling over the meaning of "genetically enhanced" for a few moments before coming to a conclusion.]

I assume it's not just in preparation for a war, and that there's a defined enemy. Dunno what genetically enhanced means, but it sounds... extreme.

We were sent out to conquer the entire galaxy in the name of humanity... our enemies were many.

Kind of a pity. Humanity seems to find enemies no matter where it goes, huh? What are they? Were they.

Aliens... Daemons..,. and in the end, ourselves.

...Couldn't stay unified against even a single threat? [A frown. That's rather sad, if it's so.]

They were corrupted by the daemons.

What exactly is a daemon? Not human, I can get that much.

It is better that you do not know.

I'll take your word for it, I guess. They're nastier than the little fellows around here?

They are on another level entirely. These things are simply jokes beside them.

...You know, I can't tell if that's good or bad. Good for us I guess, but for your friends back home... [She trails off, the expression on her face speaking volumes on it's own.]

[She blinks, clearing her throat in an effort to ward off the awkward silence as she forms a sentence in her head.]

All of them? You're the only human left?

On the world I was taken from, yes.

[identity profile] skaldssong.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Er. Multiple worlds, right. I've gotta keep that in mind when I'm talking to you, sometimes.

[A pause, the frown still on her features.] Still, a whole world's worth... That was a lot of people, wasn't it?
