*Intro Music*
“Good afternoon, I am Barbara Silver rand this is Sirius People, where we tell you everything you want to hear, whether you like it or not.
Today we bring you an interview with The Marauders. They are a clan that has been expanding on the Void and although considered weak in it’s beginnings by a few, delusional people, has now proven itself as a major influence in the systems. A clan capable of striking fear and admiration in others hearts and, known to cause slight swoons for its attractiveness. We have been able to get a few of its members here today for an interview.
We start with the clan leader, Commander die_Volker:
B - How are you today Commander?
V - Worried, as usual, about the next move that evil does.
B – Why did you decide to create the Marauders clan?
V - To offer protection to all who do not bow in the face of chaos.
B – What is your recruitment policy?
V - All welcome. Stays who deserves and feels what we are about.
B – A good, sane policy indeed! How do you feel about the current perception of the Marauders in void?
V - I'm thrilled. 4 months ago there were no Marauders.
B – This next question is crucial to understand what kind of man you are… Are you in any way related to Vlad Tepes the Impaler?
V – Yes.
B – Well, well, that IS interesting! Final question Commander, please describe yourself in 3 words.
V – Logical revenge monster.
Thank you so much for your answers Commander, I am sure our viewers are thrilled.
Now, we go on to Admiral Gabriel Angelos, the leader of the strike fleet:
B - How do you do Admiral?
G - I am well thank you.
B - How would you describe your leadership?
G - As I have always done, since before I ended up in Sirius and now, I have always led from the front.
B – And what a brave, hum… man, you are! Why did you decide to join the Marauders?
G - So far as I am aware I am the only one of my kind here. I am unable to fight alone though... to try when such a threat as Chaos exists is folly. Commander Volker is a good man and a good leader so I had no problem with lending my sword arm and storm-bolter to his cause. I have also been unable to detect any taint amongst his crew... although I have my suspicions as to one or two potential psykers....
*watches Liliana intently gently probing at her mind*
B – Interesting… *looks suspiciously to Liliana* How are the relationships between the members?
G - Spirits are generally good. They grow in notoriety with each passing day... they believe in their cause.
B - What is your favourite ship colour?
G - As a Space Marine I was not trained to like or dislike, but to answer your question... I prefer a ship to be tactical in appearance.
B – How nice for you Admiral. For the final question, please describe yourself in 3 words.
G - Guardian of Mankind.
Thank you Admiral for your humble answers. And may I say, how pretty you look like in your armour today.
Moving on to admiral LTHamlet, the leader of the Monarchs.
B - How are you Admiral?
LT - I am Strong in the face of the enemy.
B - How hard is it to plan a mission with battleships?
LT - Fairly Difficult one must take in the level of loses VS Gains in a combat zone.
B - Why did you choose the Marauders over any other clan?
LT – Cannot answer that. It’s classified.
B - How do you feel about the perception of Marauders by the other clans?
LT - Cannot answer for others.
B – Hum… alrighty. What is your favourite condiment? And, if we were on a date what would you cook?
LT - Sirius mustard, and I am married… so, nothing.
B – What a shame. For the final question: 3 words to describe yourself please.
LT - Unemotional, uncompromising, obstinately tenacious
Thank you so much Admiral for your… elucidative answers.
Admiral Wicked, welcome. You are the leader of the trade fleet.
B - Is it hard to find profitable routes?
W - Well, as the trade fleet Admiral, I should answer that question with
no not all, but as it where, some personal/family matters where my
priorities, but now though that issue is no more, so ask me again in about
2 weeks as I will have your answer...
B - How would you describe the AT?
W - Well from know, the AT has the highest capacity for cargo so therefore
it makes profits much easier on a one way trade-route shoot. The shorter
the time with the highest capacity is the most profitable, I’m everyone
would agree with me. *laughs*
B - *laughs* I’m sure everyone would. Why did you join the Marauders?
W - Hhmmm, well one of the Objectives in our charter is to explore, that’s what I
like to do, now don’t get me wrong or anything, I do love trading and making
my Clans finances flourish but as I said earlier b4 now, I was having
much trouble at home with my personal life. So the whole trading thing was
a bit difficult, but the little time that Ii did have during that time, I
did come in and do some exploring as well as trading.
B – How busy you are! Now, just how wicked ARE you?
W - Lets just say that in every situation there is a fine line that should be
crossed and shouldn’t be crossed, well I’m wicked enough to know when not to
and when to cross that line. *laughs*
B - 3 words to describe yourself?
W - Well do I really have to2 answer that question? *laughs* No I’m just kidding. Three words to describe myself huh, hhmmmm, well I can surely say Compassionate, huummmm,
Fair..... No, I should say understanding, ummm.... and..., Loyal, yah.
Compassionate, Understanding, and Loyal.
Well thank you so much Admiral for your enjoyable and well humoured answers.
We have also here with us the captain Venger of the trade fleet.
B - Is it true that the Marauders have accumulated a fortune of a billion credits?
V - Well .. I’m really not at liberty to provide you with an answer on that one.
B – Have you been picking up habits from the Monarch admiral? Humm…You have been linked romantically to a Miss Nightflame. Please expand on the subject.
V - That rumour is true, we got married a year ago and have an almost
9 month old daughter.
B – How sweet! So that’s why you look so awful! You must be tired! For the final question please describe yourself in 3 words.
V - True,valliant, stonecoldcrazy
Thank you captain.
We now go on to Mr. Pandor.
B - What is your role in the marauders?
P - My role in Marauders? I am the position of clan bug, most of the other pilots think I’m a spy, without any proof. But they'll get what they deserve if they don't show respect.
B – How nice of you. I’m sure the others appreciate that. *smirk* You are known for your hot headed disposition. Is this true?
P - Who the fuck do you think you are?!
B - *laughs nervously* Right Mr. Pandor, you have been part of the Reavers clan. Has this changed your diet in any way?
P - I suppose, I've always liked my bran flakes though.
B – Please describe yourself in three words.
P - Arrogant, funny, obsessive.
B – And, I’m sure all agree with at least 2 of those. *ironic smirk*
We now go to Miss CheshireCat.
B - What do you do exactly in the Marauders?
C - Ask our enemies what I do!!! *muahahahahah* Ah, no... Well, I do a lot, I do a lot... Ah, I trade, sometimes, and ah... fight, fight a lot, yeah... and ah... I guess, I explore a bit, yeah that too... and... ah... ah... well, yeah, that's it... yeah.
B – A lot no doubt! You are known for striking down numerous fighters. Is this true or are you just a purring kitty?
C - I'm a fearless tiger. A LION!!! *rises from seat* A VOLCANO OF POWER, OF PERSISTENCE, OF MENTAL ACUTENESS !!!!!! THE AWE OF THE UNIVERSE... *gets slapped*
P - Get real.....
B - Mr. Pandor, there's no need for violence... Thank you, Miss Cheshire. To our next question... We have heard that your father accepted a request for your hand by a Reaver and that's how you lost it. Is this true?
C - *rubbing cheek* That's a very long story, as a matter of fact. When I was six years old, I stepped into my father's Academy for the first time. It was truthfully a frightening day, as my older brother already Captain was busy with his own training and my own father had no time to deal with me personally (...) When I became Captain in Ducale's (...) attacked while escorting (...) garbage disposal (...) and then, upon the accidental rescue of a member, I joined Marauders, where I've remained until this day.*
*shortened due to boringness*
B - Thank you, for that enlightening explanation. We will now hear a loud horn so that our viewers at home may wake up. *loud horn* Please describe yourself in 3 words.
C - Spokesperson for Pandor.
Thank you so much Miss Cat. We shall now go on to our final interview with Sergeant LilianaV.
B – What is your role in the Marauders?
L – I am a sergeant and, basically what I do is coordinate attacks with a small fleet of fighters whenever it is necessary.
B – Your skin is blue. Is that due to radiation or something else?
L – I’m afraid I do not know. It is an interesting story really but, unlike others *glances sideways at CheshireCat*, I don’t like to reveal too much of myself, only the necessary things.
B – Understandable! *stares at CheschireCat* But I’m afraid the next question is personal in nature as well. There are rumours of a “romantic” connection between yourself and your strike fleet admiral. Care to comment?
L – Well Barbara, that would be physically impossible…
B – Because he is such a big, strong being?
L – No Barbara. Because I’m not physically attracted to him.
*G_A stares blankly ahead*
B - *laughs* Well, last question. 3 words to describe yourself please.
L – Bad as Hel.
Thank you all for being here today and for the interesting and elucidating answers. We shall continue to follow the Marauders wherever they go and, wish you all the best of luck out there.
