Lord Raith says "You're own your own Small." *Disappears, then reappears next to Penta, taking some popcorn*"

Admiral.Small says "Very well. It seems that I am surrounded by traitors and heretics. As acting commander of Imperial forces in this sector, I am ordering the withdrawl of Imperial forces from this planet."

Autumn~equivoque says "Thank you very much."

Lord Raith says "Actually, thats not all that good. That just means he's gonna pull back to a nearby planet or system and request reinforcements, which means a whole lot more people like him are about to come."

Mr Zaborskii says "No worries. We'll just clone him again and set the real Small up as an impostor."

Lord Raith says "Again? But I just finished cleaning up from the last time we did that..."

Autumn~equivoque says "Smells like lemon."

Steve ~ Friction says "Or a lemon imposter... like a lime what painted himself yellow and snuck into the bowl and acted real quite like."

Autumn~equivoque says "*mutters* Paranoid..."

Admiral.Small says "The clone wont work. I've seen to that."

Lord Raith says "Really? How do you supposed I got the authorization to enter Autumn into the records?"

Mr Zaborskii says "The clone won't work? Drats! That's what happens when you clone someone who's in a union! How much does he want?"

Admiral.Small says "Because you were an Imperial Lord. But at the moment, you status has been suspended, pending on the results of the Inquisitorial investigation."

Lord Raith says "Oh....darn. I forgot about that."

Admiral.Small says "After a long debate, Segmentum Command has decided to make this sector a vassal of the Imperium."

Steve ~ Friction says "We'll see about that when Autumn~equivoque returns next week. I'd see about it myself but she took all the paperwork with her."

BOO! Guess Who! Dreamin1 says "*cough* Now that I have your attention, Umm..how do I look now that I had a laser reduction body overhaul surgery?"

BOO! Guess Who! Dreamin1 says "Question: I want to make my own flour for bread--pumpernickle bread. Where do I find some pumpernickle seeds so I can grow some?"

Admiral.Small says "Well I thought you people didn't want to be controlled by the Imperium. And as a vassal you govern yourselves, but there are certain obligations you must fulfill."

pentatonic says "--certain...LETHAL obligations???"

Admiral.Small says "Just amounts of things this system would need to supply to the Imperium. You know, conscripts, raw materials, etc, etc."

Lord Raith says "And what if we want nothing to do with the Imperium?"

Autumn~equivoque says "*reappears* Then we will most definitely fulfill those obligations--over your dead body."

Lord Raith says "Fine fine, I was just askin..."

Admiral.Small says "Then you would be invaded, exterminated, and this planet would be re-colonized with loyal Imperial citizens."

Autumn~equivoque says "Over YOUR dead body, Admiral! Raith, you can get back up off the floor now."

Lord Raith says "*Hops up off the floor*"Oh, I thought you meant over MY dead body when you said 'Over your dead body.'But over the Admiral's dead body is much much better. I can work with that."

Admiral.Small says "Well it’s either being a vassal, being a fully Imperial world, OR being exterminated. And I don’t think you want to be on the receiving end of an Exterminatus."

Lord Raith says "He's got a point there. It's pretty, but in the 'ooooooh dat was an awesome explosion!' kind of way."

Autumn~equivoque says "Exterminatus? I can deal with that. Give me a screwdriver and a big stick and you'll never hear of it again."

Lord Raith says "If that's the case, then I'll gladly let you handle it." *Dissapears...again*"

Autumn~equivoque says "*pulls out screwdriver & big stick* Awriiiiiiight!"

pentatonic says "*surprised at how readily Autumn can prepare for an Exterminatus**surprised and disturbed*"

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "Oh no...Did Small call in the Extermitus AGAIN? "

Admiral.Small says "No, I'm getting stonewalled by Segmentum Command."

pentatonic says "Those old curmudgeons wouldn't call an Extirminatus if the surface-dwelling organisms ALL carried a sem-sentient, trans-species, cybernetiplague. I mean, really."

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "Crip. Just when I had the carpets cleaned..."

Autumn~equivoque says "Cleaned is an understatement. I heard the dust mites are accusing you of genocide."

Admiral.Small says "Those damned fools! 'Not worth the cost.' they say and 'Leave them to the Tau.' I better get this over with. By order of Segmentum Command Ultima, this system is hereby renounced by the Imperium of Man."

Autumn~equivoque says "So... they'll leave us alone?"

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "...THIS CALLS FOR A CELEBRATION!!! *disco balls descend from the sky*"

Lord Raith says "You know, as happy as I am to be outside the cold, unforgiving grasp of the blind Imperium, that still means I'm out of a job."

Autumn~equivoque says "*pats him on the back* Don't worry. You can be in charge of sweeping up the disco ball fragments after TSC's done with them."

Admiral.Small says "Of course the Tyranid Hive fleet heading this way might have had something to do with their decision. But anyway, here is your last Imperial pay check, Raith. Use it wisely. Hopefully I will still have a job after losing an entire sector."

Autumn~equivoque says "*snorts* Ah, ex-Admiral! Just the man we were looking for to man the guns on the lawless eastern border of the Badlands. Against the invading Tyranid Hive fleet, you see. "

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "...Did he say Tyranid Hive or Flying Dive? *pulls earplugs out*"

Autumn~equivoque says "Tyranid Hive, but if you're planning on midair somersaults the paddling pool is in the backyard."

Lord Raith says "I am not your party janitor, and I think they said Maroon Five....or something."

Autumn~equivoque says "Party janitor? I see you're new to this job. You'll be needing a hazmat suit and a welder's facemask, son."

Admiral.Small says "Nope it’s a Tyranid Hive fleet, alright. No-one has even tried to stop this one. It’s our plan. Like throwing the homeless man to the dogs to distract them. And once the Tyranids are sort of distracted, the Imperium attacks!"

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "But, dear Admiral, Remember the Hobo invasion of 62'? If we're the homeless men, It may be YOU who'll be needing the assistance. "

Admiral.Small says "The Imperium needs assistance from no-one!"

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "I'm sure you'll be singing a different tune, little canary, when we've beaten our Tyranids and you've got your hands full. "

Admiral.Small says "How do you plan on beating the Tyranids? You have no orbital defenses, no fleet, and the Imperium destroyed all the defenses we built when we pulled out. You are like sheep before the slaughter."

Lord Raith says "Yes, but we do have......a giant mallet!" *Pulls out planet-sized mallet* "Oh, and Autumn? I don't do cleaning. Its bad for my talons."

Admiral.Small says "But it’s the Tyranids; surely you know that once a Tyranid Hive sets its mind to something, its nearly impossible to stop. And I don’t think all the mallets in the universe can save you. Maybe if you people were content on being a vassal..."

Autumn~equivoque says "Which we aren't."

Autumn~equivoque says "And by the way, we have Raith, TSC, and myself, plus the giant mallet and a couple thousand disco balls. It's the Hive you should be worried about."

Admiral.Small says "Your more like an Imperial than you think. Your overconfidence is very Imperial like. Too bad the Tau intercepted the Hive fleet for you It would have been interessting to see how well you fared before being overrun by billions of Tyranids."

Lord Raith says "That's ok dude......Giant mallet."

Autumn~equivoque says "Don't you ever compare me to an Imperial again! "

Steve ~ Friction says "He's kind of right, you know. When I first heard you that was my thought: Uh-oh, I'll bet she's an Imperial."

Admiral.Small says "Being compared to an Imperial isnt so bad. There are a lot of things worse then the Imperium out there."

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "True. I once met an Anti Imperial. Good gosh. I would have traded for a cold, Order-centric egomaniacal Imperial any day. "

Autumn~equivoque says "Probably why we have the Admiral here. (Just kidding, Small, just kidding...)"

Admiral.Small says "Actually, I take that as a compliment, although I am not obssesed with my self, only the survival of humanity. "

catty WDC since 2003 says "Say, what can I spend my "experience points" on around here? Is there a catalog I can go through?"

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "You'll want to take that up with the Weapons Merchant. Go straight down the hall and make a right, followed by an immeadiate left, a subsecesant up, an about face, and thirteen backflips up a flight of stairs. Can't miss it. "

Autumn~equivoque says "*as Catty exits* You left off the bit about the Arrows of Doom and the hooded axeman behind the Carolingian Tapestry."

Steve ~ Friction says "Mmm, I think that's a Flemish tapestry. Look closer at the weave."

Lord Raith says "Oh, that guy? He's a swordsman now."

Autumn~equivoque says "Hooded swordsman behind the Flemish Tapestry, then. *small scream from the corridor* Yes, I think Catty got him."

Autumn~equivoque says "TSC, dear, could you arrange Frederick's severance package now? *reconsiders* Er... rather dramatically severed, actually."

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "Huh, oh sure. *snaps fingers and creates package* All done. "

Autumn~equivoque says "I think you can leave out the t-shirt coupons and replace them with the Two 4 One promotion they've got down at the undertakers'."

Steve ~ Friction says "Who is Frederik? Are we hiring Austrians now?"

pentatonic says "Yay Austrians!"

Autumn~equivoque says "Frederick is Norwegian and he's dea--sorry, "vitally challenged"."

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "Good Girl Autumn. You just avoided a political scandel. Ten EXP points to you. "

Autumn~equivoque says "*pockets change* Off to the Weapons Merchant, be back in a bit. *glides away*"

Lord Raith says "I always knew there was something wrong with Fred. Wonder why he never told me he was vitally challenged..."

Steve ~ Friction says "A tendency to be close-mouthed is a common symptom of the affliction."

Autumn~equivoque says "*holding a very large scythe* A bargain at twice the price--this one used to belong to the Grim Reaper. It can cut souls, see? *demonstrates*"

Autumn~equivoque says "*holding a very large scythe* A bargain at twice the price--this one used to belong to the Grim Reaper. It can cut souls, see? *demonstrates*"

pentatonic says "*narrowly dodges* Dude, watch where you're reaping!"

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "Yeah, you cut your post in half and posted it twice! "

Lord Raith says "Ooo ooo ooo can I have it? I'm the Grim Reaper's biggest fan!"

Autumn~equivoque says "No! Mine! But there's another one up at the shop... last one, actually."

Lord Raith says "*Buys it* "MINE!!!"

Autumn~equivoque says "Good. Now we can duel."

Steve ~ Friction says "A scythe duel. Almost impossible to pronounce without sounding like an idiot, but enthralling to watch."

Lord Raith says "Duel?" *Gulpes* "I'm gone." *Disappears*"

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "Hmm. Looks like Raith didn't think he could win. Shame though. "

Autumn~equivoque says "*looks at scythe* Yep, what a shame. TSC, up for it? "

Steve ~ Friction says "But you only have one scythe between you. Wouldn't the one who gets to hold the scythe have an advantage in a scythe duel?"

Autumn~equivoque says "Yes, but don't tell him that. "

Steve ~ Friction says "I won't. *bursting with pride that he gets to share a secret with a scythe-wielder*"

catty WDC since 2003 says "*returns* Has anyone seen my ruby slippers? *disappears*"

TSC- NaNo? As if. says "Hmm. Sure. I'm up for a duel. *waves hands and creates two scythes* I've got mine. ^^. "

Autumn~equivoque says "*rolls eyes* Here we go again. *ceremonial bow* *slashes somewhere near his right ear*"
