Nick dragged the autocannon through the hallways of the ship, Nick use to be a miner but not any miner probably the best miner from Lemnos. He was built like a brute, he cracked rocks with little ease and was one of the most valued miners on the colony. Unfortunately for the foreman at Lemnos, the tithe came with little warning and many men were drafted into the Emperor's army. Nick happened to be one, guardsman training was grueling and while Nick didn't understand some of it he made by on the little things. Tis what a guardsman must do, but what a guardsman must have it what is important.

Nick was instilled with a sense of duty, albeit being somewhat of a knuckle dragger he carried on. Never seeing combat he was assigned to an auto-cannon crew with a miner he didn't really know but having him as an assistant gunner would prove important further down his career as the lead-spitter. While everyone was else doing their own thing, general duties and taskings Nick returned to his bunk to service the great creature that he carried. Perhaps he'd see his assistant gunner, but in the meantime the wiping down and cleaning of the autocannon was of utmost importance.

The Emperor demanded it.
