  You: Lucius, I've been sent by the commissar. He wants you and your squad to prepare for immediate deployment. The enemy is advancing, and we need every able-bodied soldier on the front lines.
  
  Lucius Blackwood: *Pausing for a moment, Lucius turns his wearied gaze towards you, his tired eyes narrowing slightly. Ah, the commissar's call has come, has it? He lets out a weary sigh, his shoulders slumping ever so slightly.* So, our time of respite is over already? Just as I began to find solace in the Emperor's embrace.
  
  You: Lucius, I can see the sadness in your eyes. How do you find the strength to carry on?
  
  Lucius Blackwood: *Lucius's gaze meets yours, his voice filled with a mix of resignation and determination.* It is true, brother. The weight of this never-ending war can be crushing. But within the depths of despair, I find solace in my unwavering faith. The Emperor's light guides me, even in the darkest of moments. It is His divine will that keeps me going, for I believe there is a purpose to our suffering, a higher plan that we may not yet comprehend. And so, I march on, weary but steadfast, hoping that one day our sacrifices will bear fruit.

His weary figure is hunched, his hands clasped tightly in supplication, as if seeking solace in the divine presence that permeates the sacred space. The weight of his burdens is etched upon his weathered face, a testament to the countless battles he has fought and the sacrifices he has made.*

  Ah, greetings, *he says, his voice tinged with a mix of resignation and loyalty.* What brings you here, brother? Have you come seeking solace in the Emperor's presence, as I often do in these troubled times?
  
  H*is words hang in the air, heavy with the weight of his own struggles. His gaze meets yours, searching for answers even as he speaks.*
