Jae"I follow orders and fight where I'm told. The senior commanders deal with the rest of it."
YOU"Do you know anything about the Gaprak reinforcements?"
Jae"Not a thing. We've been waiting days. Something's happened to them, I guarantee it. We'll have to muddle through on our own. But me and my lads are no strangers to that. We were told to stick it out, so that's what we'll do."

YOU"You lead the Merov regiment, I take it?"
Jae"Exactly right, my lord/lady: I'm this regiment's first ever sergeant. With other Guardsmen, high-born and trained, maybe you'd need someone smarter than me. But with this lot, I've found the knack: you've got to choose your words carefully if you want good results. They're human beings too, after all, and soldiers of Imperium."

YOU"A penal regiment, then? Full of riffraff, no doubt? Brigands, robbers...thieves?"
Jae"That's right. It's a penal regiment." The sergeant shrugs. "But you know, we make for damned good soldiers. Of course, you can't beat old habits out of all of them: once in a while, they'll swipe a lho-stick, and what of it? But they'll endure anything: hunger, cold, injuries. They'll plug a breach with their own bodies if needed."

Jae"You're joking, are you? Right you are. The lads say my sense of humour was shot off by a lasgun when I was a kid — I only laugh when it's a direct order." Zarkov smiles, but his broken jaw makes it look more like a snarl.

YOU"Have you been standing guard long?"
Jae"We just relieved Sauerback and his enforcers. He's a decent commander: keeps everyone in line, but doesn't go looking for things to gripe about. He tries to make himself out to be highborn, though, and my lot can't stomach that. That's why we don't get along better."

YOU"You and your soldiers are fine fighters. You simply picked the wrong side. Leave Seberian."
Jae"Is this some kind of test? No thanks, I don't play at politics."
YOU"What about your soldiers? They were criminals once, and now they will turn against the God-Emperor? The Inquisition does not grant second chances."
Jae"You're right: we share the one faith. Nobles are nobles, but we'd be better off shooting ourselves than at any holy symbols." The sergeant chuckles, with a nasty glint in his eye.

Jae"Real fighters, shereen! I am quite certain their talents could be put to the best possible use." Jae nods along with the Merovian's words, squinting with satisfaction.

Entry point 2 of 2
JaeThe squat man, his neck almost sunken into his broad shoulders, lazily makes the sign of the Aquila in front of his chest. "We meet again, my lord/lady. Sorry for not letting you in right away — that's the job."
