AETEN II wrote:"Understandable, however some must be done. The civilization is doomed eventually. They will spread out across the stars, constructing a great civilization that will span the entire galaxy- then upon the great Warp Storms, the mysterious Iron Men, and numerous other events all culminating together, butcher the civilization, scattering it until the False Emperor unites it temporarily in the Great Crusade. Although I always did wonder why Chaos didn't take over before the False Emperor seized power later on, especially when the Immaterium isn't affected by time. Emotional food for Chaos I take it?"
Volturius then turned to the actual Raptors, puzzled by their apparent problems.
"'The hell is cloning a problem for you? Just stabilize them. It's easy to clone stable beings- fuck, it's how the Dark Eldar reproduce. I don't see how you'd be having problems creating stable clones unless you're all psykers."
"No the body is stable and durable. It's that they are just working with incomplete minds. Unstable as in psychologically." Neil answered.
"It doesn't help with being exposed to experimental substances and procedures often." Arthur added.
"With my body, I'll live forever until someone kills me." Fortu said quietly.

No wonder why Swith wants them dead. I don't give a damn if they have the kinks- they're untrustworthy as hell and the last true remnant of the old Eldar empire before they were stomped into extinction. Which is more than enough reason to wipe 'em out."
Volturius was visibly disgusted by the mere mention of Eldar. He never took kindly to the species- the Dark Eldar, while having similar alignment, were less trustworthy than a Khorne Berserker and frequent to backstabbing anyone, including their own (which was detestable to one that valued loyalty above all else). Most of his few interactions with the Eldar however were the Eldar themselves, owing more to his disgust.
Passing off the train of thought, Volturius then turned his attention once more to the attention of the Raptors, finding their name to be both annoying and surprising. He had always assumed the label of his specialization was from the birds of prey that inhabited the galaxy, not large, bald lizards.
"Wait, your group are birds?" Volturius asked in a rather stunned tone as he now stared slack-jawed in disbelief at the dinosaurs.
"Not birds. Dinosaurs. Velociraptors. We call them raptors for short."
Minerva yawned and then lifted her heavy boot and kicked Klaus in the side. "Raptours... rrrrraaaahhhhtours...."
"Although, birds did descend from us. Birds are nice, like ravens or hawks. Way better than those jerk dolphins." Gretta said.
The (Veloci)Raptor Faction didn't mind the huge Raptor. They were used to Scarface towering above them. Although they didn't like his rude attitude. One should always be polite, even when ripping someone's organs out and eating it in front of them. Fortu was the only one legitimately afraid that Voltrius could crush them, then again Fortu was afraid of Girl Scouts and Roombas as well.
