BONUS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm doing an extra picture today for the next part. Mostly because the story is getting heavy (thanks to all of you), and there are lots of stuff that needs to happen to get to the choice at the end. So I split it up a bit so there are more pics for lots of words.

Well, I guess this was almost unanimous. I will try harder to make the choices more difficult.

2 voted to convince Xin to get him out
34 voted to stay and learn WTF is going on

Here we go:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Xin’Vauk never left the area from the other side of the door. I couldn’t see her, but I knew she was there. Even when she asked me if I was OK, I could hear her trying the door handle to see if it could open. Her training in my language was very good, but one thing she might need help on is her inflections. If she was very concerned about me, it never “sounded” that way. She even asked me the same question, but in a different tone.

I assured her I was fine, but the stinging sensation in my chest was probably a bruised or even broken rib. I was in pain, but I didn’t want her to worry, so I hid that fact. She did summon someone because I could hear her speak in her Xeno tongue to another. A few minutes of “what I think” was a debate, they both left.

I’m guessing about 30 minutes had past by when the door unlocked and she stepped in. Her head and arm was treated it looked like. No bandage, but a silky transparent solution was applied to her gashes. She still kept my ripped up sleeve, but was tied around her hair to keep it up……very peculiar. But she was not alone. Xin walked in with another of her kind, almost dressed in the same fashion. These uniforms looked different from the common soldiers I read about. She sat on the floor next to me and carefully took off the bandage on my head and arm. The other one checked my wounds with Xin to see if it was healing well. He must have been a field medic like her. A few exchanged words between them, and they got up and left….well, he got up while Xin hesitated.

" Please, take your time with them. You do not need to listen to all ‘he’ says.” She whispered to me quietly before getting up. Then in a tone that her friend could hear as he waited by the door, “Things will be OK for you now. Don’t worry. Soon, you can live a life as comforting as your younger brother.” She turned and walked out of the room.

Something is wrong. I thought Tau obey all that their commander orders.....and my brother is dead, she knew that.

That is when the others walked in. I now know who ran this little operation, or he carried himself like it. A very decorative garb with little to no function in combat, he strolled in with calming confidence. His retinue followed him in. They wore simple armor with sensory plugs in the chest and head. Those soldiers are probably what was inside those heavy stealth suit power armor units. The leader’s concept of my language was good, even better than Xin’Vauk’s. “My name is Aun’vre Ni’zuul,” he paused to check my wounds, and probably my sanity, “We are a small contingent of elite warriors assigned to find this particular place, for it holds something that could stop something that threatens our entire region of space, and you will be the one to help us accomplish this task.”

alright, continue to part 8 [link] to get to the choice at the end, thanks for being patient.

They also nicked the deadly jungle (Catachan/Lustria), the enourmous floating cliffs (Wespid's homes), the walkers (the leg-joints are SO stolen from the dreadnoughts') and the idea of a common conciousness of an entire spicie (the hive mind).

Let's just all assume that this is the director's payback for GW's rippof of ALIEN (anyone who knows a sh#t 'bout genestealers will know what I'm talkin' 'bout).

No, but since i actually (luckily) got my hands on an ex of the Space Hulk game, I actually got quite a lot of info about genestelers, I think it's 2 or 3 pages...
When it comes to armies, I'm more of a heretic. How about you? (As in you-worship-tzeench-or-else-I'll-break-your-backs.)

tau. in my spare time, I run a painting service for other tyranid players. I also play tyranids. both my armies have got a big boost since a new games workshop opened in my area. the price depends on the rareness and size of the models. I also do tau and sometimes space marines. I think space marines look like the love child of a human and a sontarin.

Yes I did. Thanks for the tip. The hair looks a little better. I still have to get better at it, but that only comes with practice.

then try mixing your older technique mixed with that new one, it would add a special texture to the hair style...

Another thing what is, "Soon, you can live a life as comforting as your younger brother" thing about. That sounds very bad! Not really something one says about a guy who what shot.
