[ 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. ]

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. ]

[thecodexabides]

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. ]

[catsclaws]

You're ten thousand years old?!

[ Yes, she took him literally. ]

[thecodexabides]

Do we count time in suspended animation?

[catsclaws]

Uh, yes?

[thecodexabides]

then
yes.

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

[catsclaws]

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. ]

[thecodexabides]

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

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

[catsclaws]

What about your friends? Or family?

[thecodexabides]

my what?

I have my brothers in combat.

My family...
are best forgotten
and long dead.

[catsclaws]

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

[thecodexabides]

Train for combat. Pray.

[catsclaws]

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

[thecodexabides]

As I said
train for combat
pray

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

[catsclaws]

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

[thecodexabides]

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

[catsclaws]

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

[ That's not heresy, is it? ]

[thecodexabides]

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.]

[catsclaws]

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

[thecodexabides]

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. ]

[catsclaws]

Hm, I guess you have a point.

[thecodexabides]

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.]

[catsclaws]

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

[thecodexabides]

[She will probably live to regret that. Because he will ask her...a lot. ]

How long have you been here?

[catsclaws]

Just a couple of months.
