• Next is my second in command who is (believe or not) a gorgeous woman called Rose Hydra and her rank is Colonel. Rose is five foot five inches tall with blond hair, tanned skin and a pair of lovely enchanted blue eyes. She is as soft as a p***y cat but that said I wouldn’t like to be in a boxing ring with her. Rose is thirty-two years old but the troopers have nicknamed her “hellhound” because of her anger. As far as I can remember she has always had that nickname. Rose was twenty-five years of age at the time when she had joined the guard, she was asked to be an officer. Five years down the line she got in a fight with a sergeant Turner of alpha platoon in the Pigs Head bar, he turned round and said “You deserve to be in a penal company for what you’ve done”, she turned around to see who insulted her, the sergeant gulped he had unknowingly just insulted an officer of the guard, a woman for that matter, sergeant Turner thought he was talking with one of sergeant Hydra’s new Gamma platoon recruits who had wrecked the simulator a couple of hours previously, Gamma platoon. Where bitter rivals to alpha platoon, so he was about to apologise but was stopped by an unexpected fist in the face, the fight had started as a result of one of Turner friends throwing a punch at the sergeant but he was thrown by a catachan trooper called Hawkeye, the alpha trooper was thrown into another gammas table but since the entire bar was full of alpha platoon and gamma platoon a bar brawl broke out which was only stopped by a dozen MP’s five minutes later after the owner called for them to stop this madness, but half of the MP’s were injured trying to break up the fight, most of them were injured by Rose as she and her gammas were trying to fall back to the barracks but were arrested. Turner was rushed to the hospital with a broken nose, four broken ribs, a punctured lung and a broken pride (for being beaten by a woman), he was there for a month, the MP’s had only a few broken arms and noses, so Rose was put in the brig along with Hawkeye, I left them there cooling off for a fortnight when I fished both out of solitary confinement. I gave them a choice both Rose and Hawkeye take my punishment or they go in front of the Provost Marshal who would deal with them much harsher than I would. They foolishly choose my punishment, I made Rose my 2nd i.c. much to her disgust. Hawkeye, who was a natural leader but always managed to avoid taking rank and responsibility, take the vacancy of regimental first sergeant.
    I later over heard a couple off duty troopers joking about her anger towards the enemy, “Whether it’s Eldar or the tyranids”, they were saying “I would hate to be in their boots with “Hellhound” racing at them and I would just hate to be her boyfriend, he would be running twice as fast as the enemy”. Unfortunately they didn’t see me following them until it was too late, so they got guard duty for a month
