<Snipped quote by Tank O The Lake>

*I hold my hand up, fist on my chest. A clear Roman Salute. My voice carries the authority of drilled formations and battlefield command.

Marius: Amicus sum. Centurio Marius Titus, Legio XIV Gemina. (I'm friendly, I'm Centurion Marius Titus, 14th Legion of Rome, Gemina.)

*Eyes the men* If there's a Rome still here, then I stand ready to serve it. Under what standard do you march?
[/quote]

*I don't return the salute, eyeing Marius warily.*

- Legio XIV is [i]Avaerii[/i], not... Gemina, and we are of Legio CLV, Alchemist's Cohort.  And... Rome?  Whoever heard of a city called Rome?

*I raise a hand, and a dozen rifles train themselves on Marius.*

- I don't believe you are a Varroi, Marius Titus.  I believe you are a spy, sent by the Laughing God to confound us.  And spies die, Marius Titus.
