Greetings Shas’O Kunas,
I am pleased to hear the campaign is progressing well, although I grieve for the loss of your fallen warriors. I find solace in the teachings of Commander Brightsword, remember a life given in pursuit of the Tau’va is a life well spent and a worthy goal of any Tau.

I have been keeping abreast of your campaign. It worries me that the composition of the enemy forces is greater then we first estimated. To this end you are authorised to use any and all means to achieve our objectives. However it pleases me to inform you that I have been able to despatch a small contingent of elite forces to aid your efforts. They should be arriving shortly after you receive this message. In your absence the Fio have been developing a new, improved battle suit. I believe you will find it most effective. Its current classification is XV9.
Fight well and with Honour

This is Major Koenig transmitting on an open channel to all blue arsed xenos that may be listening. I have received your information regards the alliance of the filthy orks and chaos scum that is polluting this planet, our scouts have confirmed your findings. Even though it pains me to have to say this, you are right that their combined strength will overrun our defences. Although I’d rather wrestle an angry grox then fight with you skinny [Untranslatable], the defence of the civilian population of this planet forces me to accept your offer.
Koenig out.

Thought for the day: Innocence proves nothing

  1. Nice!

    Was this collaborative, or are you putting words in Koenigs mouth? ;oP

  2. Putting words in Koenigs mouth, thought I'd add a bit of background for the apocalypse game.

  3. I'm going to do a Journal entry soon for Koenig. My poor guy, putting words in his mouth like that!

  4. If you'd been allying with Bugrit instead of Shas O'Kunas he'd have put something a hell of a lot worse in Koenigs mouth ;oP
