"Buried... not many of us will ever get that honor... but we few will die below ground... never see the light of day or the beauty of night... as we deserve,"- Krieg engineer
11234732 savoir faire or savoir-faire, a french phrase used in English, literally means "know how to do", refers to a polished sureness in social behavior, specific to environment. Each social group own kind of savoir-faire, military especially. WH40 is actually good at showing that, but mixes it with clergy. Soldiers are trained into proper interaction, because communications with officers and each other are essential.
A soldier would announce what he gonna do with radio equipment before popping cover. He could endanger himself or others.
Not thanking for cleaning is believable, he'd assumed that it's a natural order of things. Concept of kindness is odd/alien to him, but it could be mentioned.
11234816 Yah, more like real world lore applies here too.
He got an unknown or semi-unknown device with clear function. He _thinks_ he can fix it.
At minimum, while attempting repair, he must warn others to not operate it. It may damage equipment, him or them.
Worst case, there is a known reason why he can't do that or a step he must do beforehand: switch it off, pray to Omnissia, call tech support (I jest).
Military savoir-faire is all about clear representation of intentions, readiness, comm about problems.
His behavior in cave was ok. No time to question reality. Civilians aren't "it". Later on he kind got a drop-off from adrenaline rush after combat situation and evolves in direction he doesn't know how to deal with.
This episode is a first case where soldier's job comes to play.
I don't he is 'more' traumatized than any other Krieg, let's be honest everyone who grows up Krieg needs a lot of therapy.
Besides that, I've been basing 'Krieg's' actions on official kriegsman lore, and I kinda based some things off of Krieg's personality based off of death from Darksiders...
11234831 That's true for any soldier who was on war. Kriegs are embodiment of PTSD. He is in unique state of being "traumatized" twice. He is alone. He somehow failed to die. Also was flashed by a "General".
I think , he's broken more than any Krieg in Universe.
I think "Sadly" was in right alley. Also, try be yourself at writing, that works better. Here you're the narrator, not the Krieg, you have a levity of sarcasm. First person stories are harder.
Yeah, that's true... both about me being the narrator and first-person stories.
Like in my protogen story I stopped doing first-person parts and such.
Back to the story at least unlike his vat 'brothers and sisters' he might have people in the future that will help him... unlike a literal tech zealot who preaches that 'the flesh is weak'
Enjoyable chapter aas always ! The plot seems to ticken a bit, for this storm is definitly something to watch out. Maybe our engineer could have a word with it, or maybe the source of it ? A few sentence construction I would have switched here and there, and I probably would have added some commas/marks to space out the spoken sentences, but quite nice overall.
"Rainbow! The last thing we need is a natural hurricane or a tornado! Rainbow please!" Twilight shouted to her friend, Rainbow looked at her for a moment before nodding.
"Buck it... let's give it a shot!" Rainbow shot up into the air passing through the black storm clouds high in the air and looking down before she whipped off the rain off her goggles. "Let's do this,"
As the so-called 'rainboom' moved out, for a brief moment the sky was clear and bright but the storm clouds pushed back in ever stronger as the storm began to pour down harder.
Amber opened the door to the house letting the last roommate enter back into the house.
"Woah! Man, I didn't expect the rain to get that bad... did the Weather team mess up again?" Pulling down her hood letting her navy blue hair to fluff out. "I was hoping to get home before the rain hit but the line at the bank was a nightmare and- Woah... who's the dude?"
We have no idea who Sally is, until later on it is reveal she is a 'landshark'. To which we have no idea what that means. I don't know if this was stated earlier in the chapters since it has been a while-- but this clearly is a small plothole right here that is missing information for us the readers.
11237404 Most likely but I wonder if our Kriegmen might have something to fix it with?
Also is just me or does anyone else think that pinkie pie is going to have tough time with a death korps of Kreig guardmen engineer who doesn’t even know the meaning of happinesses anything.
Love the fic, but how dare the guardsman not recite the proper litany of unbolting and the chant of the rewiring before fixing the radio. The machine spirit will be extremely displeased
Sorry, I was planning on updating this weekend but my father’s truck had the coolant line burst. (to be honest that truck was older than me and it’s in its last leg as is)
11250030 Oh okay and sorry about your fathers coolant line bursting and no worry’s you guys just focus on the coolant line hopefully it will work out for you guys.
Emperor be with you guardsmen, Emperor be with you!
nicely done and better late than never!
Oh shit you do not touch a kreigman uniform
Also it’s back yes, praised the Emperor
Netter late than never, I'm liking the tone of this one so far. Hoping it stays like this, with Krieg finally finding some form of peace.
Nice work and good to see an update as always and no worries man as long you update its fine
So there’s a third one huh? And I read she’s a land shark aka a anthro shark girl, hope we get a description or a pic on what she looks like
Good for the Krieg to see some colour like that, no matter how short lived it was
Damn it Twilight not everything can be fixed with magic or rainbows!!!! Now everyone is gonna pay the consequences for your mistake! Smart one my but!
very good very good👏👏
but these need fixed
alleyway
Why
sight. Site is a location, like a crash site.
For a soldier he apparently doesn't have savoir faire instinct. Is he that traumatized by not-death?
11234728
Sorry, but what's a faire instinct?
11234694
I appreciate the help like always but Twilight was asking Rainbow if she couldn't stop the storm as in a question.

You know like dry humor or such...
Yeah I do a terrible job at that T_T
11234831

I need moar of this 🐀
Excellent work keep it up

Also, it's cumulonimbus time!
Okay, I don't know if anyone noticed but,
We have no idea who Sally is, until later on it is reveal she is a 'landshark'. To which we have no idea what that means. I don't know if this was stated earlier in the chapters since it has been a while-- but this clearly is a small plothole right here that is missing information for us the readers.
11235502
My bad... there.
An easy fix, sorry I like I said I stopped halfway and finally finished the chapter recently.
Does he have a robo dick? Preferably with various utilitarian attachments?
11237050
Ha! No.
Other than a desperate need of a proof reader, this is really good! Though does Krieg still have his Lucius Pattern Lasgun?
The house (and most of the town) is about to be leveled by a Superstorm isn’t it?
11237347
No, he’s a Krieg engineer so he’s got his trusty shotgun.
I wouldn’t say a super storm quite yet
11237401
So he has the Lucius Pattern Mk 22c?
Wait does that mean he has a Full kit on him?
“Yet” let me guess Twilight pulls a stupid?
11234816
Same
11237404
Most likely but I wonder if our Kriegmen might have something to fix it with?
Also is just me or does anyone else think that pinkie pie is going to have tough time with a death korps of Kreig guardmen engineer who doesn’t even know the meaning of happinesses anything.
11237198
Oh thank the emperor you cleared that up
Also when is the next chapter gonna be released for this?
11239282
Speaking of Pinkie, I wonder where she is? He’s been here for what? Almost a Day? Yet she has not poked her head out yet!
11239339
Yeah where the heck is pinkie at during all of this?
Do you have any guesses of where she might be?
11239364
Under the bed maybe? Or in the Closet? In the Toilet?
Hell if I know, this is Pinkie after all
11239368
Maybe or right behind him? But in any case I do agree with you
But who do you think will be in the harem
11239406
Well obviously the Trio in the house, but without any interaction with other ponies I can’t say for more.
Also to the author, What’s Kriegs lifespan like? The Deathcorps are Born via Vitae Womb but I can’t find anything on how it effects Lifespan.
11239431
As far as I know most don’t live past 18 and heck even 17 years of age since they get killed by then
11239431
They aren’t flash clones like from halo or Star Wars style clones. I think they are true genetic clones, as for their life span…
This is the death korps of Krieg, I think they oldest one to ever live was 30 or something like that.
11239648
They are bred via Artificial Wombs (makes em technically Vat Born Clones Ala Jango Clones) so would that effect their bodies, aging, lifespan?
Also, I know he has mechanical Limps, but has anything more important been replaced?
11239685
If your talking about Omega and her brother Boba than yes
As for that… Where the fun in telling you?
11239648
On Krieg. Which is literally a radioactive Death World. Human life expectancy there is zero years, so 30 is quite an achievement.
11244001
I think he had a name… so there is that.
11239648
Agreed
11244021
When we ever get his name not the temporary one he has. Also when is the next chapter gonna be out?
11244001
Pretty much.
And where your first ever weapon is a shovel even visitors get a shovel so come to Kreig if not your a hectic
Love the fic, but how dare the guardsman not recite the proper litany of unbolting and the chant of the rewiring before fixing the radio. The machine spirit will be extremely displeased
11244959
Well he is wearing a gasmask
11244959
11245275
Well he probably did but didn’t hear it since as the author states he is wearing a gas mask
Oh by the way just asking guardsmen but when will the next chapter be ready to release?
P.S. just curious is you don’t what to answer then that’s fine, again just curious is all.
11249803
Sorry, I was planning on updating this weekend but my father’s truck had the coolant line burst. (to be honest that truck was older than me and it’s in its last leg as is)
Don’t worry a update will come.
11250030
Oh okay and sorry about your fathers coolant line bursting and no worry’s you guys just focus on the coolant line hopefully it will work out for you guys.
Emperor be with you guardsmen, Emperor be with you!
