Joseph and Hannah with Terran Old Guard (TOG) walked 2 days Entering into the Human City of Horan

They spent some time to walk around the City with only some stares mainly about the Uniforms that they were wearing and odd Weapons with some Whispers about it looking similar to the others that had arrived the Day prier.

They found the Merc Guild and Entered, and as soon the crowd inside saw them and got a Cheer and Approval with some shouts, "You Fuck up the Knife-Ears" "Yeah they wanted us to Kill You" "Fuck That if they want us to die hire us for a war" then the Crowd calmed and returned to organized Chaos, "WTF" Joseph Whispers to Hannah.

They walk to the Receptionist "Hello Commander Joseph we are aware what happen at the 'Knife-Ear' Branch and the Bounty was waved off, that was a fellow Merc Group that was Hired to chase them," This one looks Friendly enough, "So Commander are you here to get First Job for the As-tra Mili-li-" Joseph stopped the Poor Receptionist.

"Please Stop, Can I put a Translated name to be read for those that can't?" Joseph asked he didn't want to hear that shit every time

"umm Yes it would help, your Organized in a Military style why not the Unit's Name" she said regaining her composure

"Well if that case put down the Terran Old Guard" Joseph said

"Interesting name, your accent sounds Similar, are you related to them? Do you want the Names of your felloes"

"Can you give me it in writing about the Names and a Job for us we'll look at the Names while on Job" Joseph was Rushing he could feel the eyes of more dishonorable Gents looking at his kit

"umm Okay take this, <hands over list of similar Names> And this your First Job is well OH Wow" she exclaims as she reads the Contract again, "Well your First is Royal Guard detail and that is all I can read so here you go, happy hunting" with that said she returned to her own organized Chaos.

Joseph and Co. went to the Location specified on the Contract witch was some big Manor "I think Royal meant Nobility not Royalty uneducated idiots" Joseph vented some annoyance

"Hey Joseph we can Negotiate remember, we can force rules on them so they can't fuck us over with BS" Hannah told Joseph to ease his annoyance

"True now who the Fuck are we meant to talk to?" Joseph asked to get a shrug from Hannah and the PDFs

15 mins pass

"FUCK IT I am going into this Jackass's place" Joseph said pissed off 

"YOU may not, Low-Born now we will Negotiate and I Forbid you to Speak or add your own Rules" said a Smug noble maybe 14-15 at a glance he was wearing a pompous Royal purple draped over some expensive looking fur coat, he had a sword that looks like a blunted Guardsmen butter knife could brake with a slice and that was sheltered about everything.

Mainly he asked for a Organization for protection their is Rule 1 on Merc Organization they must be treated like you would if you are Talking to Nobles they are close to Kings so the Low-Born shit can be used as Evidence to cancel the Job before it even started.

Rule 2 Organization can and will Negotiate and nothing can stop them unless its a general call for War upon the Merc Guild and all of the Organizations get a say in that Negotiations between the King and the GuildMaster.

"Ha Fat chance mate we are here to Discuss this, I am not a Merc Band, I. AM. A. MERC. ORGANIZATION. WE. ARE GOING. TO. DISCUSS." Joseph said in a Drill Sergeant Voice, Ramping his Asshole in EACH word

Hannah translated 'angry' coming from Joseph to the clearly scared child and even when further and called him a meat bag at the end of her explanation 

"WHAT WHAT MOMMA!!!" the Boy ran back into the Manor with the two guards at the door looking perplexed, TOG Followed him wanting to 'discuss' the terms of the Contract but they waited in the lobby to be kind to the Master and Mistress of the Manor.

after 10 minutes of crying and 'sob talking' from the boy in the second floor Joseph told Hannah the 3 Rules we will live by.

  1. We will finish the Contract no matter how much is offered by the Enemy. (but you pay us more)
  2. Any betrayal is a Family issue AKA if your a Noble and YOU fuck us over, WE fuck your Family over. 
  3. You will listen to us if you Hired us for protection or no deal.

Hannah was made the speaker due to Josephs temper with the boy being thin as it is and he gave his weapons to the PDFs he didn't trust him self not to kill the Boy

The Mother and Father of the Boy looked worried at us "ummmm Well come to House Marjewl, my Name is Count Marjewl and this is my wife Countess Marjewl, we can discuss the terms when those 3 Meat heads leave to that I may talk to you Commander. he said to Hannah witch made everyone of us Laugh, him and his wife looked at us confused "You are the Commander right? Miss" he said with more worry

"Sorry Count but the Man Behind me without the Weapons is the Leader, before you ask why he has no weapons your son is why, I am the Vice-Commander and now the only one willing to talk to you, I have my orders about the Rules that we can give you right now but if you can't agree to them we will leave"

That blunt statement Smacked hard against them they were expecting to deal with a new Organization with no clear rules or poor Negotiations

Hannah continued without skipping a beat "1 We will finish the Contract no matter how much is offered by the Enemy, 2 Any betrayal is a Family issue in other words, if your a Noble and YOU fuck us over, WE fuck your Family over, 3 You will listen to us if you Hired us for protection or no deal"

Those Rules push the Counts into a very bad spot, those Rules are meant to trap Nobles into a Role were they are below than the ones Protecting them.

"So agreed?" Hannah asked

The Counts looked at each other and with a silent conversation that only married people can do

"We agree but a Personal Guard must go with you" they say in unison 

"Good now what do you want us to do as we Protect your Son"

"Yes we hired you to guard our Son as he is heading to the Imperial Capital don't worry we are providing transportation we are just want to be sure he gets there safe and the Duration is 1 week to and back, if you want to come back" the Count says

Joseph Joined the Chat "Well when are we leaving?"

"Today" he says

"GREAT" the PDFs Groen

TOG left to find a carriage outside with the scared Boy got more Scared as TOG started getting in and onto.

the layout was PDF on the roof, the Driver and inside 'was Joseph, Hannah and the Boy with his Bodyguard

Hours of silence, and more silence

"Commander maybe we should look at that Name list that Guild Girl gave us?" Hannah said

"Yeah we should see if any ring a bell" Joseph replied and pulled the Paper out

Sisters Battalion (Sisters of Battle)

Green Kroosade (Orks)

 Reformed Astartes Legions (Loyalist Chapters)

Shattered Legions (Traitor Chapters)

Emperor Protects (Ecclesiarchy)

Shady people of the Imperium (The Inquisition or Officio Assassinorum maybe both)

Psykers Exclave (Un/Sanctioned Psykers)

Joseph read the last one aloud with Hannah taking the Names and Translating into Factions

"ummm What did you just do where did those Names come from?" the Boy asked at us

"None of your Business High Lords only" Hannah Replied

"High Lords?" the Boy said

"NONE" Joseph said in his Voice

More Silence followed for the next day that "NONE" is strong 

Hans stuck his arm through the window with his Auto-Gun in Hand

"Sorry Vice-Commander I believe that my Weapon's Machine spirits temper has flared can you help me" the way he say that was well in a Sorry tone

"PDF. Hans it is okay I maybe the V.C. but I am the only Tech-Priest <Takes the Auto-Gun> OH ha I see she just hasn't gotten her needed Ritual oil, can you tell Ralof to give me his to see if she is close to." she gives the Gun oil to regrease the Bolt that had gotten Jammed and Ralof's Gun was close so she did the same, with them appeased she gave the Auto-Guns back to them.

"Joseph I have leveled up need to find a place to change" she Whispered 

The Boy and Guard the stared as to them she just grabbed the Gun before even opening it to see what was wrong and Ritual oil what the hell does that mean.

The Guard spoke first "Machine Spirits, temper why are you treating ob-" Joseph horridly covered his mouth "SHUT IT" he hissed at the Guard, the Guard looked over at Hannah and her happy go lucky face was now Anger, Hannah mean while was running through the probabilities in her head on the most enjoyable way to kill him.

"CONTACT 3'o CLOCK" the PDFs boomed on the Roof

"REPORT" Joseph yelled out and up the Window

"CHAOS CULTIEST" was the reply

"STOP THE WAGON NOW"

The wagon came to a halt, Joseph and Hannah Stepped out, Hannah saying fuck it to hide her change, a Mechadendrite came out of her Robes going straight through it, 2 Audio sensory enhancers appear on top of her head and to simply she made a Mechanicus Catgirl with that to servo Skulls appear from underneath her Robes with both having Auto-Guns slung beneath them.

"Weapons?" Hannah asked 

"Local shit, heading this way, plan?" Hans answers

"We kill them for the Emperor and our Charge in the Carriage, Simple no?" Joseph says, "To expanded you two stay up there and fire from up their, we will hold the ground."

"Blood for the blood god" Is just heard and becoming clearer as louder "SKULL FOR THE SKULL THRONE"

"WE HAVE NO GOD LIKE THAT" the Boy Panics

"We do, this is Normal when a Chaos Cult is on your World" Joseph says of Handedly forgetting that the Boy doesn't know shit

"FREE TO ENGAGE" Joseph boomed when the Cultists got to 500ms from the wagon

The Servo Skulls fly forward and start firing at everyone and documenting any changes compared to what Hannah has in her Database, at 350ms Joseph and the 2 on the Roof starts firing into the mass of madded Cultists but as soon has the PDF started shooting the sooner their more start falling but not fast enough and soon, Joseph has put aside his Las-Pistol and Drew his Sword, Hannah drew a Mechanicus Blade. with a melee around the right side of the wagon a few minutes of hellish fighting.

Joseph slumps against the wagon holding his right arm, dropping his sword and drew his Las-Pistol and began Firing rapidly and the PDFs join their Commanders fire with controlled burst volley fire, Hannah's blade and Mechadendrite were 'flying' around her body with her in a battle meditation with her blade blocking and her Mechadendrite strikes killing the fools.

"WE HAVE FAILED THE GODS THEY WILL KILL US RUN" some of the Cultists start running around to Explode in blood and the rest start killing each other.

"By the Emperor, the Warp must have driven them mad" Joseph said underneath is breath and he collapsed to the ground leaning against the Wheel, "Fuck Happened Praise the Emperor" upon uttering his Name he felt a soothing embrace of the God-Emperor a golden light appeared around his wound on his right arm and before everyone's eyes it began to close and heal up.

The Golden Light Returns to the area in front of Joseph, 4 smaller lights and 1 larger golden ring forms on the ground with the to PDFs on the Roof of the Carriage glowed as well, the Flag Carrier was the first to lose his glow the man was wearing the same Junior Dress with only light Armor on his body, the Flag was a blue background, a Southern Cross in the foreground in white with red outlining on the Stars and Golden name at the Base that says "Emperors First Terran Old Guard, His Chosen Men" and he looked more then willing to throw himself in front of fire to protect the Flag, to defend the Flag with his Las-Pistol and Sword.

Next was the Vox Caster, he was a normal PDF but he was Carrying the Units Vox Caster with a Las-Gun and more than enough 'Legal' Cowardice needed for a Caster to prevent his and its Capture with the 'oh shit' Frag Grenade to kill him and destroy the Vox, other than that he looked normal.

The Chimera and her Crew came 3rd, the Chimera looked like she does on the Table top with a Heavy Bolter at the front of her and no turret so I can hit them with my sword, the Crew both of them had Las-Carbines and Kaki Grey Dress of Tankers.

The only part that made Joseph think was that they were women so that means not only was he a Unisex Regiment so their would be the chance that women would appear.

The last 2 to appear were the PDFs so were over looked.

Hans and Ralof Finished glowing with no real change to their Dress but did look happier

Then Joseph started Glowing, Joseph's Armor didn't change, but his Dress changed the epaulets with now with 3 chevrons and the Imperial Aquila on top, Marking him as a Staff Sergeant, his cap changing into a Slouch Hat with 3 Golden Feathers one for each chevrons, he also took the Las-Gun but kept is Las-Pistol and Sword.

"Please Vera Goddess of knowledge, Please impart your knowledge about what happened" the Boy and Guard prayed together as they looked at the Unholy shit happening outside of the Carriage

"Okay Mount up, Marjewl Kid, Guard follow me, Carriage driver return home we will take them the rest of the way" Joseph told the 3 dumb stuck people.
