The commissar smiled viperously.

‘At long last,’ he rasped, purposely slowing down as he approached the dishevelled ratling kneeling in the dirt. Head bowed, hands out, he was a grimy little wretch. A sniper rifle sat on the ground in front of him, ammo clip discharged and set down next to it, a single bullet sprung from the breech on top of the casing.

‘At least you know when to surrender, abhuman,’ he sneered, and straightened his jacket as he came to stand before the pitiful creature. ‘Gaffar, Rein,’ he said, recounting the details from memory. ‘Sniper, auxiliary…’

‘I think you might have me mistaken for someone else, sir.’

The commissar sneered. ‘Sniper, auxiliary,’ he repeated, ‘primus-rated… and in dereliction of duty to the God-Emperor of Mankind.’

‘Is He here too?’

The commissar struck him across the face and the ratling went down hard before defiantly coming up again.

‘I am Commissar Vudus Mettik. I want you to know my name, for I know yours and your brother’s.’ He looked up at the gap in the pipe. ‘Left you for dead, did he? Saw his chance to slip my leash and took it?’

‘Oh, I expect he’ll be back for me.’

‘You better hope so, scum,’ said Mettik, nodding to one of the Scions, who smashed Rein Gaffar in the side of the head with his gunstock, knocking the ratling out cold.
