The Tau Fire Warrior got out of the room and started to go down the corridor, wide enough for allowing six Space Marines to stand side by side, tall enough for allowing three of them to stand on each other's shoulders, and long of dozens of meters. It got him into a gigantic hangar, where the Burger Marines were parking all the vehicles they were using for delivering their meals all over the galaxy ; there were hundreds of such vehicles flying away or coming inside, while dozens of servants and Marines were buzzing around, carrying tons upon tons of meals inside the aircrafts. It took a long time to the Fire Warrior for reaching the other side of the hangar, located hundreds of meters away from where he came out.
Passing a great door, the Tau then arrived inside the repair center, where the aircrafts used by the chapter and damaged during their deliveries were being fixed by the Techmarines. The Tau didn't really look at all the work done there, but the quantity of machines stored and repaired there was staggering.
A giant gate later, the Tau passed next to the Scriptorium. There, dozens of Burger Marines scouts were studying the Holy Recipes for the meals they would one day have to cook. A veteran cook were supervising each group of the Marines in training, making them repeat by heart every step of the making of a burger, a salad, a dessert, or whatever else they would be serving. They were all surrounded by gigantic shelves, each of them higher than a standard housing block, filled to the brink with ancient tomes all dealing with the science of cooking, as well as the standard religious tomes found in every imperial building.
An incredibly long and big corridor later, the Fire Warrior got into the food processing part of the restaurant. The room was big enough for inducing vertigo to any normal being. There were at least two companies of Burger Marines working here, on impossibly huge kitchen appliances. The quantity of food that was present in the room could have fed at least half the crew of a battle barge. As if the activity of the Burger Marines wasn't frantic enough, servoskulls were flying everywhere, adding to the frenesy of the place.
Pushing a door, the Tau finally arrived at the restaurant's dining room. If the other rooms he had passed through were gigantic, then there were absolutely no words for describing the size of the place. Even an imperial cathedral couldn't hope comparing to this room ; a few of them could have fit in it actually, be it in length or height. Thousands of tables were scattered all over the place, each one welcoming groups of diverse customers, ranging from humans to mindless horrors coming straight out of the Warp for having a meal. The rays of the sun was filtered by incredibly detailed stained glass, showing scenes of the foundation of the very first Burger Marines' restaurant by the God-Emperor of Mankind himself. The main gates of the restaurant were standing on the opposite side of him. They were so far away from him that they seemed ridiculously small, but a Manta gunship could have passed through each one of them. And they were almost covering the entire side of the building. Behind him, the counter upon which the customers could take the order ran on all the length of the room. There were at least fifty lanes of people waiting to be served.
The Fire Warrior went straight to the table where his friends and him were eating. As they saw him coming, they all looked at him.
« Finally ! Said one of the other Tau. That was the longest bathroom break I've ever seen ! »
The Fire Warrior simply sat down while sighing.
« Those humans have no sense of scale, have they ? »
