Well, considering the lack of psykers in his regiment, coupled with what happened in his past? He'll be torn. Respect for a fellow Guard, vindicated natural distrust of anything related to the warp.
@Rithy
What, no mocking the Krieger for never relaxing, always being so willing to throw himself on wire if someone ordered him to, ignorant backwards outlook on anything not a Guardsman trying to blind someone with his flashlight? If you need to, I could try to come up with something worth responding to, if it pleases you?
@Rithy

Ahh, such a classic clip, and the source of many spoofs and memes that are oft of the highest caliber. Good times, good times indeed.

"I take offense to that, ma'am."

Seeing her lose her shit would be, while by survival standards very very BAD, hilarious. The idea pleases me more than it should.
Ansgar didn't even move as the Inquisitor went off, scolding the pair of psykers as they continued to agitate and aim to cause each other grief. Not a helpful trait to witness in comrades in arms, seeing them at each other constantly already, hell, it was dawning on him that he was slightly outnumbered, and if the Commissars of the regiment's stories of other, less disciplined regiments was anything to go by, that many females in one place was going to create some very unique problems. Unlike most Guard, Ansgar feared not the Commissar, for they were, in the Krieger's eyes, there to liaison between other regiments and the Death Korp, vice keep the order and purity of the regiment out of question. Krieger's in this day and age had no issue with loyalty and willingness to die for the Emperor, indeed, their zeal often had to be tempered to match the goals of the planetary or system Campaign. But, Ansgar focused on the here and now as the shuttle swooped over the, frankly, clean city of the command world that they would be working in. Bizarre, he had never seen or heard of such a world existing anywhere else. Then again, his experience was often in the ruins of such places, rather than before war touched them, so many places could be like this place.

The sister's comment resonated with a similar sentiment that the Death Korp Grenadier held, making a comment similar to hers. "Too clean, and too unprepared. The city could fall to a half dozen different assault plans, and that would be on a whim alone." Taking into account the Sister presence, alongside any sort of PDF or native Guard regiments awaiting deployment, would still be hard pressed to hold such a city. It lacked the vital qualities of a fortress, indeed, hives were such meatgrinders due to their natural design. This actual city? Not so much. After touching down and being given their dispatch, the Krieger chose a room closest to the door, where he could keep a careful eye on it whenever he was not resting. Never trust that a place was secure, no matter how well established or how well fortified. Commandos, snipers, men who fancied their odds with a rifle, anything could inflict sudden death onto an inattentive or incautious trooper.

Setting his meager belongings in the room, thankful for it seeming to be more suited to a servants quarters and, as such, lacked the niceties and frills of the other rooms no doubt furnishings. Ansgar, after securing his belongings, reported back to the living room. Notably, about the only thing missing from him was the backpack full of supplies. The Type XIV (Heavy), its powerpack, and various implements of destruction were still present, as was the ever present skull faced gasmask of the Death Korp Grenadier, plus his armor and uniform. Whether he was too distrustful to remove any of it, or just lacked anything else to wear, was up for debate. Both were likely correct, however, he came to attention as he reported to the Inquisitor. "Reporting for additional orders, ma'am."
Oh yes, the warp does that to people. Better to bend and seem unhinged, then snap and be completely gone into the deep end eh?

And I can't look at a TVtropes link while I'm trying to get things done. It sidetracks me so >_> But I agree, I suspect, at least to start things off, they are very much unhappy cooperaters. Our dear Inquisitor has to be loving her life right now.
A fair point haha, and currently Ansgar is not someone to write drunk. He's far too serious right now, but I expect his combat to be a lot more colorful.

Trench combat coupled with having to survive against things stronger, faster, more durable, and just plain more dangerous than him? He has to be meaner. Definitely enjoy reading everyone's posts though, enjoying the fact that no, not everyone is getting along from square one. Seems more reasonable, really.
@Rithy

A better person than me then! I am working on one now, frankly waiting for the right moment to properly unleash havoc. I think our dear psykers have done a fine enough job as it is, in that regard.
Seems like exhaustion is a running theme, thats pretty much what has kept me from posting yet. If I cant post during my lunch break, I'll try and have something knocked out after work.
I dare say both sides of the coin here have interesting groupings. I was pretty much, barring deliberate avoidance of the typical, as it was so finely put, mustache twirling evil doer, just writing a character that could be flexible in regards to working with others, barring his weakness in healing but it fits his outlook on things.
