Hubris is the Weapon The Fool Uses, To Cut his Own Throat.
Imperial Proverb
Presiding over a large auspex display, the Lord General received on going SITREP and battlefield reports, holographic ensigns representing units and their movements across the world of Arpat, the slow grinding advance of battlelines and the development of fortifications. Tech-priests chattered amongst themselves in binharic tending to machine spirits vested within the immense augur array that powered communications technology registering vox and signal from countless souls, data being divined through cogitators before being fed in to advise further strategy and action, it was precise and effective, every last shell was accounted for, every ration and every engagement, munitions and fuel usage, manpower and potential threats being registered, monitored and then transferred all whilst Astra Militarum officers read off summary reports upon data slates.
" Intel relayed to us by forward tactical elements has informed us that elements of the local civilian populace has taken to guerilla warfare and acts of terrorism, we believe this is a clandestine effort being strategically supported by the Xenos, in light of elements of a Tau cadre as per preliminary report, auspex feeds did pick up some plausible activity on the eastern front which was later confirmed as we took the settlement of Berlag-Kitt, while the settlement is now under Astra Militarum control, ongoing pacification efforts are under way to restore the local livelihoods and return the populace to productivity. Imperial presence has not been well received and we are brokering negotiations that our diplomatic wing and the local rogue trader and manufactorum unions to see if we can achieve our goals without turning the lasguns on them. "
The General paused, taking consideration of the report, unflinching and unshifting, daunting visage peering over hologram of impossible technological sophistication, yet somehow eerily reminiscent of a warfare pedigree well known to humanity for aeons.
" And what of that man... Regas?... and my factor... Kilnar... whom was sent to make accords with the debt Regas owed to me and lay claim to those acres in Lomonsyde ? "
" A bitter disappointment your Lordship... and Kilnar... did not return, the last transmission suggests he was taken... hostage. "
The general's expression turned dour as he turned from the war table and walked towards a window hands crossed behind his back.
" And now my factor is abducted in plain view... am I gone mad ? "
The junior officer swallowed nervously before finding the words
" Your lord- "
" DO NOT !... I say, do not speak in my stead man !.. that makes sense as to why we were able to pick up faint signatures in Berlag-Kitt's subterranean mine shafts... the tactical prerogative has changed... Regas's pride has gotten in the way of his reason, the Imperium's mercy only extends so far... extend a warrant amongst the populace and our troops, 20,000 thrones to whoever brings me his head, double if he's alive... we shall see how this collusion between xeno and traitor stands up against a good old fashioned Imperial Interrogation. "

"I'm tryin' tae increase the firin' rate o' this pulse cannon"
"If it were an actual physical weapon, I'd just tell you go make the bolt lighter or something..."
"It'll fire superheated plasma bolts at 1,000 rounds per second"
"I'd think that's already fast, but what do I know? I'll stick to Barbatos' 200mm cannons."
"If there's one thing I've learned from hanging out in Wheeljack's workshop helping him and Roadbuster with weapons, it's that energy weapons such as pulse cannons have a faster firing speed due to not needing to physically reload and chamber shells. There is of course the issue of heat dispersal, but that's something else."
"I wouldn't know much about your energy weapons anyway, aside from Barbatos being immune to it."
"Fair. Although I imagine Barbatos's 200mm cannons are a bit more high-tech than the 200mm cannons you can find on Earth, which are on old battleships."

I express a keen interest in this degree of ordnance, tell me of its engineering and where to acquire one.

"They're just physical cannons in the arms. Not a lot of tech goes into just a gun, I guess."
Mika shrugged his shoulders.
"But Barbatos has more weapons than just arm-mounted guns."

He just raises an eyebrow, simply looking at him like he's crazy.
"It's part of the Gundam. You can't have an in-depth look at Barbatos. Especially not after you called my son a jester..."
Even if he never actually met his son in life, it seemed he cared greatly for him.

" Your cooperation would be appreciated but it isn't necessary, besides, he brought it on himself... what with the constant mockery and what not. Like for like as they say. I have nothing against the boy, he just seems to have the makings of a mischievous trickster. "
When the crowd is having their usual chat, BANG!
It seemed a familiar girl had thrown herself in with some fashion. Door opened with her doing a backflip, and closed itself when she landed well.
Her clothes seemed more than usual. A blue coat was over her usual T-shirt, and her jeans was changed to a longer one reaching her trainers.
After that land, she turned around, and made a pose - standing high with feet separated, right hand raised above her head signaling a V, and one of her eyes closed, likely winking.
Then, she put down her hand and stopped posing, and proceeded to wave at everyone present, "Hiya!"

"...Was that necessary?"
"..."
The smile on her faded away, along with the waving motion, which also stopped.
"...yeah that wasn't. But who's to say," She stared at Mika with an annoyed expression, arms crossed, "I can't do this? Sometimes a little bit of harmless disruption can make the air alive for a bit."

"At least you can, I guess..."Because, you know...Mika is a cripple?
Olivia then entered into the tavern, pushing a heavy crate of dragonfruits. She sat down in exhaustion as she took some breaths. "Whew! Somehow, that was harder than I thought it would be... Hey, everyone...! Ugh, I'm tired..."
Olivia has been inflicted with Exhaustion.
