Chapter 20 alt Pov at the start
"So the Commiesar is rather nice to ye." An Ogryn spoke to Barghest as she stood protectively next bosses printers.
Barghest nodded and then took off her helmet with her fellow Ogryns looking at her in some surprise as she spoke clearly. "Yes, my boss has been good to me. He makes sure my belly is nice and warm when I go to sleep and the shredder and armor he made is just..."
She shifted and showed off her thick and strong power armor that had active shielding along with her fold-out Vibranium Shield that hung from her arm along with the plasma shotgun and gravity hammer that was on her back.
There were four Ogryns that she gathered up to protect bosses printers and they all rightfully looked filled with awe at the shiny but strong-looking weapons and armor she was wearing. "Dos you fink that the Commiesar will make us some better shredders and boom booms as well boss?" One of the four asked Barghest.
And Barghest smiled beautifully with her announcing firmly. "Aye of course! My boss wants the best for all his friends and subordinates. Especially with how the Emperor speaks to him and tells him how to build stuff like this!"
An Ogryn inhaled sharply and looked at her in wonder saying quickly in its sloppy voice that was filled with too much excitement. "He speaks with da Empawor!? Wowsa... I can't believes it. Is dat why the scary quisator sent us to help him krump the mean stinky boys down here?"
Without any hesitation Barghest nodded firmly with her saying strongly. "Yes! The emperor even sent his Custodes in that gold guy who will be protecting the boss. That Custodes even protects the emperor and the fact that the Emperor sent him to Boss means that he is the real deal!"
All four Ogryns and some people who heard Barghest's words looked enlightened at the truth that Barghest was speaking.
But then a guardsmen walked up with a frown across his face as he came up to Barghest and said bluntly. "And what the fuck are ye? You ain't a space marine as they ain't got any tits."
Barghest tilted her head to the side in confusion at the hostile tone in the human guardsmen's voice and answered frankly. "I am not an Astartes? I was an Ogryn and Boss made me better with the Emperor's guidance."
There was a moment as the guardsmen stared at her and then his scarred face twisted in disgust and spat out. "Peh! An abhuman thinking they get to bear's the emperor's blessing? It's here-"
A loud grinding crunch rang out as one of the Ogryns reached over and grabbed the Guardsmen by the head in its large strong hands and the flak armor helmet groaned as his powerful hand squeezed the helmet with the Ogryn saying angrily. "Da Commiesar is not a smelly boy! He touched by da Empawor and even the pwetty Sisters follow him! You bad man!"
The Ogryn pushed the guardsmen away almost gently but in its anger in its initial gripping of the guardsmen's helmet... His head had been squashed like a can of beans that had been smashed open by a cinder block smashing into it.
The Ogryn snorted with his mucus-filled nostrils making a racket but Barghest didn't respond and only had eyes for the clearly dead Guardsmen... And after a moment she snorted as well. As the only reason she didn't give the guardsmen a good wallop herself was she thought that it would make her boss mad at her.
But then a thought struck her. "You! Go throw the body away. I don't want the boss to think the guard tried to break his printers!" She ordered a different Ogryn and Barghest knew that the one she was ordering was another female Ogryn by her more smooth of a face.
"Uhh where do I put it?" It asked in confusion and Barghest's lips twitched at the instant question but she took a breath and knowing of her past abhuman races... Issues with things of any mental difficulty she gently explained to the Ogryns how to dismember the Guardsmen so he would properly fit into a smaller trash bag that could be thrown into a trash chute.

"Now this... This will do." I muttered with some giddiness building inside me. As the armory and RND section where I could begin fabricating a bunch of weapons and such was in the back of the Geothermal plant with plenty of electrical systems for me to tap into.
Adelieth who had obviously worked with some of the guardsmen to block off any small entry points like vents and the such smiled slightly at my praise while saying. "Also I had some men weld together a couple of storage crates to give you a small bedroom of sorts as our office deserves."
While taking in the surroundings I asked her in curiosity. "Good work on my quarters then. Where are you staying though?"
She with zero hesitation smiled and said frankly. "Of course, I have my own bunk in your cabin to make sure that you aren't attacked by a demon as you sleep!"
I gave her a weird look before shaking my head in a lack of understanding of the crazy sister of battle so I said. "Alright! That's wonderful thank you Adelieth. Now, let's go get my printers brought in here so I can begin making low-danger plasma weapons and some higher-grade laser-based weapons and armor for the guardsmen."
'Along with making the Super Soldier injection and treatment area... For all that Ogryns are loyal and obedient they are typically dumber than a bag of rocks.' I thought as Adelieth followed behind me as we headed back to the front of the Geothermal Plant to get my printers all moved in and put to work.
