[ With their return to Etraya and some fuzzy feelings in the air, Felicia makes her first appearance on the network. It's been a little too crazy for her to introduce herself to many, but she has managed to get to know a few people during the library and train missions.

The very striking woman with platinum hair smiles in the camera. ]

Hello, everyone. Have you seen these little Valentines floating around? I couldn't help but notice they contain various objectives for some kind of reward, I'm guessing.

So! I thought I'd help you all out.

[ She lifts her hand and touches it to her chest. ]

Need to shower someone with flowers? Pass off various gifts? Cover someone in compliments? Well, look no further. I'm your girl. Deposit all of your praise here. I promise, I can take it.

[ The whole thing is quite funny to her, and this seems like a chance to talk to some new people. ]

[ She looks amused. ]

Not as far as I know.

[ In fact, she hasn't heard of any real requirements. Sure, there are missions, but taking them seriously seems like a personal decision. ]

Your kind?

[Gadriel needs to know the victory conditions, so he wins. If his entire world's fate is in the balance, he will do whatever it takes. ]

Adeptus Astartes. The Emperor's bulwark to defend humanity.

That's a pretty lofty title.

How does the Emperor's bulwark find Etraya and its missions?

[ They're probably not what he's used to. ]

It has been earned through ten millennia of combat. [Not him personally. But the Astartes, yes.]

I have just arrived. The operations tempo is...disgraceful. [Since you asked. ]

You're ten thousand years old?!

[ Yes, she took him literally. ]

Do we count time in suspended animation?

Uh, yes?

then yes. Though I have only been fighting for a few decades. This time.

That must've been a trip. Waking up in a different time.

[ Felicia knows one guy who knows what that's like, but he's not here, and the time jump wasn't as big. ]

It is normal. You are awake, then you are...awake again. Just with new brothers.

[Fighting and more fighting. Only the enemy changes, really. ]

What about your friends? Or family?

my what? I have my brothers in combat. My family... are best forgotten and long dead.

Oh. What do you do when you're not in combat?

Train for combat. Pray.

That sounds... dull. What do you do for fun?

As I said train for combat pray

[His idea of fun is a little...off.]

Maybe you should try branching out while you're here.

into what?
[Don't say heresy. Don't say heresy.]

Liquor, for starters. You seem like the type who should try and loosen up a bit.

[ That's not heresy, is it? ]

Alcohol is reserved for those of higher rank than I. [Lowly enlisteds rated recaf and combat rations.

[So, not heresy but also...not for him.]

Well, there's no chain of command here. You're free to do just about whatever you want.

That would be a temptation.

Tell me, we are here to represent our worlds, to champion them, yes?

How would I do that, if I acted against the rules of my world? [Because he's going to WIN. Or else. ]

Hm, I guess you have a point.

Sometimes, I am. [Wryly. He didn't get the cingulum on his waist or the award on his right shoulder by being an idiot.]

However, there are probably...allowances I have to make. [Can't go killing mutants here, he's already figured out.]

That's the spirit! And if you get confused about anything, you can ask me. I'm an expert at allowances.
