It had been quite an adventure for Carterponder and Wiztchiz. The disappearance of a Warp storm made a few imperial astronomers realize that a small planet had been hidden from the rest of the galaxy since the emergence of the Imperium. The Burger Marines quickly sent the twins, who were their most respected diplomats, for investigating the planet and his possible inhabitants.
And inhabitants they found. The two Burger Marines, aboard their shuttle, were travelling back to the Slice of Cheddar, the cruiser that had been assignated to them for this mission.
« - Frankly, brother, this had been quite educationnal, said Carterponder.
- Quite.
- Really nice fellows. Sure, they're still filthy xenos, but I must admit, they're far from being the most despicable the Imperium has ever met.
- Indeed. As soon as we set a foot on their planet, they immediately welcomed us. And with quite ceremonials !
- Yes ! Have you noticed how well behaved they all were ? As if they knew there were other species in the galaxy and had been rehearsing how to welcome people from other planets !
- That what I thought, too. Frankly they did their best for impressing us. »
Silence followed for a few seconds.
« - The one who was always accompanying the leader... You think it was a priest ? Asked Wiztchiz.
- I don't know, really. An advisor, in any case. Too bad their language is unknown. Well, this part was predictable, at least...
- Well, they sure made their best efforts for not letting us be lost.
- Oh, definitely. They made it easy to understand their intentions. »
Another little moment of silence.
« - And their culture ! Everything indicated they were quite sophisticated !
- Oh yes ! Their music, their jeweleries, their clothing, their architectures... All of it was xeno, but it is clear at first sight that we're not dealing with barbarians. But in contrary of the Eldar, they never seemed to rub their culture on our face.
- Yeah, I never had the impression they were trying to impress us or show that they were superior to us. That sure was pleasant. »
Once again, the twins stood silent for a few seconds.
« - And they tasted delicious !
- Oh Warp yeah ! We TOTALLY have to ask the Adeptus Gastronomicus to make new meals out of them ! »
