A/N - Deeply sorry for not posting any updates for so long. I was being a lazy shit and was putting off and procrastinating. Writing a new chapter was a damn pain because I had multiple moments where I just couldnt think of what to write.

The sergeant started laughing at the Lieutenant, "Out of all those things, you just remembered you dont know my name? Ha, arent you incompetent" Coughing up on the last line. "That would be Sergeant Rokka Aalto, so where are we sir?".
"Well, as you can see its the medbay. But I believe were in orbit over some icecube like Valhalla" Despite loving his homeworld Danil couldnt help but use that term to describe it and other such planets. "Wait, you said we were thrown back in time. What do you mean by that?" Rokka sounded confused, as if he didnt understand the joke. "I meant what I said. That orks warp blast somehow sent us into the Immaterium and threw us into the 3rd Millennium" Rokka just stared with a blank expression. Not able to process what his superior was telling him.
Shepard lay there in bed thinking about what just happened. Taking in strangers he picked up from the wreckage of his old ship is a rather weird move. But if these guys really are from the future then they have no where to go. Giving the over to the Alliance is the only way Shepard could see. However then the Alliance would research their laser weaponry and knowing how the Alliance is, there will be leaks. Said laser weaponry will fall into the hands of mercs and that will cause a massive shift in power in the universe, everyone will race to get themselves their own so called 'lasgun'. But then his train of thought was interrupted by a alarm from his terminal. It was Chakwas. The other weirdo woke up. He started making his way to the elevator after splashing some water on his face. Hopefully this was enough to make himself wake up a little.
Danil was thinking about his father, Colonel Cherenkov. He was in charge of a Tank regiment. The 114th Valhallan Armoured Regiment, a relatively young unit. Around a century old by terran standards. The 114th specialised in breakthrough tactics and maneuvers. If there was a fort or frontline in need of breaching, they were called in. Danil was in the command squad, his Leman Russ Vanquisher was always next to his fathers Executioner. His father kept him close in order to show him how commanding a armored regiment was like. In return he expected his son to command one too, if not then some kind of company. With that, Danil was taught by an experienced Colonel how to lead men in to battle. Through battling Orks, heretics and even having a run in with Eldar. Unfortunately he will never see his 884th Mechanized company in battle. Taken away too early from them without any notice and getting stuck in the past somehow.
But nows not the time about remembering the past, or the future in this case. He had to think on how to convince Shepard to let him join his crew to repay his debt and as a thanks for saving him. Maybe he'd even stay if he liked it.
The doors of the medbay opened up or rather sideways. That bothered Danil greatly, maybe he will ask about design choices later. Shepard walked in, this time with a woman. She wore and tight bodysuit like everyone else. However her face seened to be that of royalty, a noble perhaps. Rogue Traders tended to have those. Rokka immediately rose up from his gurney. Sneering lightly at the the pain at his side. "So who are they Lieutenant?"
"The most similar thing I could find is some sort of Rogue Trader or Agent of the Inquisition"
"A Emperor blasted Inquisitor? Just shoot me right now then"
"Remember when I said we are in the past? It seems the humans from the past were way softer than us. So you wont be executed"
As Shepard walked in he saw the two in their gurneys whispering to each other. "Alright, now that the second one is awake Id like to ask more about you guys. I know your Lieutenant but I know nothing about you"
The second man looked at his CO and Danil nodded back.
"I am Sergeant Rokka Aalto, 884th Valhallan Mechanized Company which is commanded by the Lieutenant over here. I was attached to it only a week ago"
Shepard was surprised, a officer as young as Danil had a unit to his name. Normally you would need to pull some strings for that. Maybe his father?
"Your Lieutenant is a commander of a company? But hes so young, is this normal where your from?"
The Lieutenant interrupted Shepard with a laugh "Oh you shouldnt compliment me like that Shepard! Im older than I look, but yes in our time its a rather stadard sight to see young officers commanding companys of men"
If thats the case then they must in some kind of war if theyre that desperate. A question for a later time then. Turning back he asked "Doctor Chakwas, how much time do these men need to be battle ready?"
Chakwas looked confused "They are fine as it is, but I'd like to keep them here for a bit longer. Just want to make sure the bruises heal up a bit"
"Perfect" He turned back to the men in their beds "Im going to offer you two some options. One is that we drop you on the next stop we go to and leave you in a world which you dont understand whatsoever with all your stuff. However our next stop is Omega which I highly doubt you want go to and seeing how your guns will stand out like sore thumbs in there Im not in the mood of giving laser weaponry to a bunch of criminals."
Danil knew it was obvious this man wasnt giving him any other options. The second one will probably be a request to join him.
Shepard continued "The other is that you join my crew and help me on my current mission. Although I cant promise you will come back alive after it."
Danil chuckled "Thats actually good timing, I was about to ask if we can stay here longer"
"So is that a yes?"
"Obviously, can we rest now? I can feel the exhaustion setting in"
