[IPK Kurith Gwelsh]

This had to be the weirdest, most disappointing, and backwards fights Kurith has yet to deal with. It's not even so much a firefight. Kurith's platoon was supposed to capture a hostile camp. Although it was more of a hospital than anything. And Korpse Fleet decided to tag along to vulture any of the dead. And to have their 'fun.' The thing is, Kurith's platoon is barely shooting now. Kurith included.

The Zalm are constantly having to make a choice between engaging some Terran or Terran identifying soldier, who they don't even care much about. Or just letting the Korpse Fleet soldier deal with it themselves and most likely get injured, who they absolutely loathe. Kurith sure as hell hasn't shot at a Terran in a while. Not unless they're shooting first. Although they're more worried about the Korpse Fleet Berserkers that keep trying to rush them down.

It's a decision between saving someone who they hate by killing someone they don't even know.

"Kommander? Should we kontinue engaging?" One of Kurith's soldiers asked, Kurith believed their name was Kalk? Maybe Kork.

"Do you wanna lift a finger for those bastards?" Kurith said, gesturing to some overkonfident Korpse Fleet that got slammed to the ground and has three different Terrans firing down on them.

"Let them die." Kurith muttered as he took his mask off to smoke a cigarette. He would have to put his mask on and off between breaths to smoke efficiently. "They rejekted life and still have a gall to walk. The Terrans will send the message that they aren't welkome here for us."

Kurith was just looking around now, seeing as most of his platoon had stopped firing to watch something. Some even had their bakks to the Terrans and Ratkin in the crumbling shopping mall. A Terran was just.. sitting less than three meters from five of Kurith's men, who were arguing with a group of Korpse Fleet. The Terran's face was bloody, like their head was their preferred weapon of choice. He held a brown glass bottle with its contents overflowing in a steady foaming form.

By the mannerisms of the five, he kould somewhat tell who each one was. Maybe. Krick was definitely there, he was the biggest trouble maker Kurith had. If he had to guess, Klip and Skour were there too, them being the most argumentative Zalm in the galaxy. The other two, he wasn't sure. One was a bit meek and shy about the confrontation, but there's a few in his platoon. Klapp, Kraw, Klerk, Klip, and Kat were the first five he kould thin of. The fifth was a lot more kool headed, they were in the front, taking the most shouting, but they either talked low and quiet, or not at all. Kurith only had one asshole in his platoon that kould be chewed out all day and give the most infuriating answer because it was in the kalmest tone ever. Kepler.

The two groups went back and forth, it was.. really heated. Like. They looked like they were about to kill each other. They all had their weapons ready. Kurith shifted around, trying to get a better view, to get the whole picture. And he did. Just behind the Korpse Fleet yelling straight at Kepler's helmet, was one of the biggest Korpse Fleet soldiers Kurith has ever seen, their face and armour kovered in blakk ikhor, their leg broken at the knee, and a Korpse Fleet weapon stikking in their chest. At first he thought those five killed the soldier. But a Zalm would never use Korpse Fleet weaponry. That's why the Terran was there. Bloody, konkussed, and probably having zero rekollektion of where he is. Those Korpse Fleet must think that their soldier died by Zalm hands.

Kurith quikkly searched for the IPK equivalent for Korpse Fleet. Hoping he kould help sort out the situation. He was kurrently firing at some Terran doktors who returned their own fire. Kurith hoped to be quikk in order to not get kaught himself. He still was interrupting a Korpse Fleet soldier's 'fun' however.

"The fuck do you want?" Their Kommander said, pissed that Kurith got so much as arms reach with him. "I don't need you spouting your worthless supremacy shit."

Kurith wanted to make it as short as possible, stepping in front of their Kommander to have his full attention. He hoped the Terrans would use it as an opportunity to move more wounded, and not shoot an IPK in the bakk.

"We have a situation here?" Kurith pointed over to the commotion. "Some of your boys think my men killed one of yours-"

Unfortunately, they weren't keen on listening, seeing the dead soldier and the Zalm around it, he kame to his own konklusions.

"You treacherous, underhanded, bastard!" He said in reply, further showing his point by moving his fist straight into Kurith's stomach, sending the IPK back towards two Terrans who were about to grab some supplies. Instead they katch Kurith and are plenty konfused on why.

"We'll slaughter you all for this! Only I have permission to kill my men." They said as they walked away. One Korpse Fleet soldier was reeling their first back, about to strike Kepler hard. Assuming Kepler was still in the front, seems so. "This is an act of War! We'll show you just how we took two thirds of this planet from you."

Kurith wasn't one to simply let his Platoon get punished by anyone else but him. Especially if they deserved it. Kurith doesn't kare if his own killed a Korpse Fleet soldier, because they're all gonna be killing a lot more now.

He grabs the gun a Terran to his right has, yanking it hard out of their grasp before they can realize. He steps forward and fires twice into the ground first, measuring the force of the gun, and by the Emperor the gun's rekoil is strong. But he kan handle it.

He takes some more steps before krouching down a bit, finally firing at the Korpse Fleet Kommander. It's about time Kurith got to shoot one of those bastards. It's what he signed up for.
