They see a number of imperial guardsmen, space marines, and other champions of order drinking and jaw jacking. One of them, more heavily armored than the regular guardsmen, but less armored than say a space marine nods to the trio as they approached.

[i]The taller man that sat across from the woman and the cowboy gave a glance to the man and waved slightly from his seat. [/i]
-
The guardsman spoke with the bar tender, who nodded and filled three glasses and brought them over.
-
[i]They all flashed a smile to the bartender, ranging from the Cowboys disgustingly charred mug, to the woman's truly graceful smile, finished with the newbie's handsome smile. The trio each sipped their drinks. [/i]
-
The guardsman walked over and pulled a chair up to the head of the booth. "You three are new, I've not seen you before. Are you imperial champions or just unfortunate bystanders."
-
"I'll be honest lad, I don't even know what a champion means." [i]The cowboy stated in response to the guardsman, a light chuckle escaping his lips shortly after. [/i]"Me and the woman, a general under my PMC, we were out in the yards training. We get a call from a contact who knows a band of Space Marines, tells me that I should go and check out this Golden City or whatever it's called up in the Himalazian's. He gets us a lift there, how exactly I don't really know though. We picked the new guy up when we got taken to.. Wherever we are right now."
-
He nodded in understanding. "This is the Bloodwrath, once one of the finest ships in the imperium, now it's rebelling against all control. We're all prisoners here."
-
"Yeah, we'd seen that. Fūckin' hell man..." [i]The newest addition to the team, Hutch, said in response. His onyx black hair matched his outfitting perfectly, which made his pale skin stand out amidst the dark colours, and in turn made his emerald eyes shine brightly compared to the gazes of his blue-eyed comrades. [/i]
-
"Well, let me be the first to welcome you three to this little piece of hell. Likely we'll fight side by side to survive, and who knows one of us may live."
-
"Ah. Well, I'm Hutch, this here is Diana and JT." [i]He responded to the guardsman before him, gesturing towards the pair of people that rested across the table. [/i]
-
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, my names Thomas Brantley. Guardsman of the 27th Harakoni Warhawks."
-
"Pleasures all mine, sir. Now you mind telling me why half the bar is at odds with the other?" [i]The cowboy politely asked, being slightly confused. [/i]
-
"We've been at war since those blasted traitors turned on us and sacked terra. They follow the chaos gods, killing for sport and pleasure, spreading disease, burning worlds. We are the imperium of humanity, the last bastion of order, followers of the god emperor."
-
"You guys have the Space Marines, right? An old contact of mine told me about a few Chapters, said he knew a Chapter Master or something."
-
"Yes their the golden children of the imperium. Toughest men we have, thanks to all of the modifications. But don't discount us guardsmen, normal humans we may be, we're as capable as any."
-
"Very true. Especially when you're outnumbering them so bad that the enemy can't even move."
-
"Very true. Some regiments operate on the assumption that if they throw enough men at a problem it'll go away."
-
"Yeah well, as the owner of a PMC I can tell you right now how stupid that tactic is."
-
"It works for them. Regiments from my homeworld have the opposite mentality, we're well trained and well equipped for when we drop behind enemy lines."
-
"Well your regiment sounds like a sensible one."
-
"We try, our lineage dates back to before humanity had mastered space travel, paratroopers try were called."
-
"Heh, met a few of them back home. Please tell me you have more than just a parachute where you can be shot from the sky?"
-
"Grav chutes, like parachutes but faster an harder to hit."
-
"Interesting. Well if I see a guardsman I'll be sure to thank him for his service." [i]Hutch responds to Thomas. [/i]
-
"We appreciate it, but none of that matters really if we don't get off this ship."
-
"Well, I intend to get off, so I'll still be doing it. Gotta be an optimist here, at least that's how I'm seeing things."
