05/01/09(Fri)01:51 No.4448458Just before the outbreak of, well, peace, a grand battalion of Necron Warriors had teleported into the streets of Calldion, a small Imperial world. The citizenry flees in panic, the PDF makes a token mobilization.
"What are those black bastards doing down there?", Planetary Marshall Withers spat onto the ground. He hadn't survived a lifetime of Orcs and Tyranids to retire to this crap. "Well, sir... they appear to be... well...", said the young Lieutenant at his side, lowering his magnocs. "You really should take a look at this. At the end of the line there.."
The Marshall lifted the Magnocs and grumbled. They stood in the streets, row after row of black metal and green eyes. Then he spotted movement, and zoomed in. "What in Throne's name..."
At the end of the long row of black bodies, a single Necron warrior had lowered it's weapon, and was staring at it's left foot.. which was tapping. Then it looked at the other foot, and tapped a few times. Nearby machines likewise trained their gaunt gaze at the offending feet.
The lone moving Necron suddenly stepped out of rank, and began to tapdance down the seemingly endless row of black warriors, it's feet tamping out a staccato that the directional mic on the Magnocs barely picked up. Then it spun around, using the Gauss rifle as a makeshift cane. Then all along the ranks of deathly synthetic skeletons it had gone past, more dancing started. Soon the cacophany of metal feet on asphalt could be heard unassisted, all of them tapping in time. As the Marshall lowered the Magnocs, he noticed that the guardsmen nearby were rocking their heads to the beat. He had to admit... it was kinda catchy. |
