WAOA Arena

[Random berk]

OOC: Presuming there was a sound of the weapon cocking or something...

Ragnar glanced over hhis shoulder when he heard a weapon drawn.
"It is my duty to persecute and destroy the enemies of the Imperium wherever I encounter them." He replied. "By all that I stand for, I cannot suffer the xenos or Chaos to live. That it chose to cower behind these people rather than face me in the arena is simply down to cowardice."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"He drew first! And would still rather not die at all!" Mordin said as he tried to keep his distance from Ragnar.

"Listen buddy, I understand being devoted to your cause, but this ain't right. Trying to blow holes in people just because you can't have your way isn't right." Rex said as he kept his gun leveled at Ragnar.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Sounds good to me." Kenna said to Mordin, then looked at Ragnar. "So what, you'll just kill anyway that's not like you?"

 

[Chungus]

After Kenna and Rex stormed into the lounge, Solaris peeked around the corner, disappointed that the gunfire had stomped, and that she still heard Mordin's voice. She briefly considdered sowing more animosity, but realised this would only serve to discredit her charade as things stood, thus decided to wait with it.

 

[Random berk]

"This is not 'my way'. This is the will of the Emperor, and the sworn duty of all Space Marines! Of every citizen on every world of the Imperium." Ragnar snapped. "An alien is an enemy of mankind, pure and simple. And you should know well, that to draw a weapon on any servant of the Emperor in defence of an alien is treason. Lower your weapon, and I'll forget about it." He turned his glare on Mordin again, but heard Kenna's question.
"There are not many in the galaxy like me. But if it is an enemy that I am sworn to abhor, then yes. I will kill it. That is what I was made for."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Hey man, I'm a soldier too, and a damned dedicated one, but even I don't follow orders that strictly. Killing people just because they're there is bat-shit crazy. What the hell did aliens ever do to deserve that?" Rex asked as he refused to budge an inch.

Mordin considered shooting Ragnar while he was distracted, but decided against it for the moment.

OOC: We'll say he passed up on that renegade interrupt

 

[Random berk]

OOC: @Outis: Maybe he shouldn't have. Mordin probably could take Ragnar down with a clean headshot, but if this lazatron is just a standard lasgun/pistol, then it certainly isn't going to be killing Ragnar any time soon.

What? Ragnar kept his attention on Mordin, but the Salarian would be able to see that Rex's last statement had confused the hell out of him. "Aliens have killed billions of humans and stolen hundreds of worlds away from the Imperium. They have earned our hatred many times over. Any 'damned dedicated soldier' shouldn't need to be told that."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"The hell you talking about? Aliens don't even exist where I come from!" Kenna said, disturbed and exasperated by Ragnar's behaviour. "And this one doesn't even want to fight!"

 

[Outisakanobody]

"I'm pretty sure we're not from the same outfit, bud. And what is killing this one going to prove? Has he ever stolen a planet? If he has, by all means, blow em away." Rex said to Ragnar.

OOC: Naturally Rex is also aiming for the head, which is the most vulnerable part of Ragner.

 

[Random berk]

"It exists here." Ragnar growled, but then hesitated. "What do you mean 'they don't exist where you come from'? There are no aliens on Fenris either, but that does not mean they do not exist!" Hearing Rex he shook his head and growled under his breath.
"If you are human, and do not count yourself among the traitors to the Imperium, then we serve the same purpose. And the mere presence of an alien is a crime in the eyes of the Emperor! Why am I having to repeat this?"

OOC: @Outisakanobody: Rex is behind Ragnar, isn't he? He can't get a clean shot on his head then. The power pack on his back is in the way. Same with the pauldrons at the sides. Don't forget, Ragnar towers over other humans, so Rex is aiming upwards, which spoils the angle even further.

 

[Demonjazz]

Kirby the Karate style Tortoise fighter watched Ragnar from a distance. He started to causally stroll up to him and tried to look as non-threatening as possible

 

[ShindoL Shill]

As the discussion continued, anyone paying attention to him would notice Horst backing away slowly.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"All kinds of crazy crap is around where I come from. Aliens though, not present. Heck, we haven't even gotten to Mars yet! And even if this alien was from a species that attacked you, that doesn't mean you have to kill him!"

 

[DotSlash]

[color=80bb00] "Don't try to seem too upset about the whole lack of bodies yet." [/color] Pix said casually, her mouth forming in the breastplate.

 

[Chungus]

Still looking into the lounge from around the corner at the end of the hallway, Solaris scanned the area, wishing the shooting would continue. She noted Hort backing away, also paid minimal attention to it. When Pix spoke, however, Solaris looked down towards her, feigning a confused look. "What...?"

 

[Random berk]

"What... what in Russ's name are you talking about? Haven't even gotten to Mars yet? Where are you from? And yes, it really does."

 

[DotSlash]

[color=80bb00] "You know since I'm wrapped around you, I can tell how your body's reacting... even when you're acting in a completely different way." [/color] Pix stated. [color=80bb00] "I don't really care, mind you. It just seems that everyone here's a crazy, so you don't really have a reason to hide you being a crazy." [/color]

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Kinda self explanatory, spaceman!" Kenna said. "Never thought I'd have to break the news that we're not in space yet..."

 

[Demonjazz]

The Action Turtle Warrior, spoke to Ragnar "Well we haven't landed humans on Mars yet. Plenty of rovers are there though

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar finally twisted to look around at Kenna, his bolter lowering as he did.
"Mankind has been spread across the stars for 50,000 years! None alive today can even remember a time when they were confined to Segmentum Solar save for the Emperor! For what you are saying to be true, you would have to be older than known human history!"
