I was once mistaken for the opposite sex when I 'supposedly' entered the wrong side of the washroom. So, who caught that mistake. A kind old cleaner who had the best intention of making any unaware person stuck to their phones from embarrassing themselves. Lucky me, that ain't me!

But still! It was a mistake, an innocent mistake I will say! So, now not wanting to make the old lady be flustered at her mistake - I went to the WRONG gender washroom instead of the RIGHT one that I was going into. 

P.S - I got out safe!

It has been a month, and their reinforcement that was supposed to be a part of the defense of Jules; the Tallarn Desert Raider Regiment – was nowhere near inbound – as the hard and rough war carries on, all the while communications have been terrible and trouble further ensues when news of the Tallarn Desert Raider Regiment had been intercepted by Chaos Space Naval Fleet. Forced then into a lone conflict, the news and realization brought fear amongst the Planetary Defense Force ranks, as opposed to the Death Korps officers, and Kommisars who appeared unbothered by the dire state of their situation. "Fuck... we're fucked..." it was only a mutter; muttered by a young PDF officer who seemed to have only been promoted recently, and then had the responsibility to participate due to his rank. However, as the officer deflated at the terrible news, he had been unaware that his voice had been mistaken as a cowardly and poor faith in the Emperor – which called for punishment – to the Kommisar who had been in front of him who turned swiftly as he examined the officer's shock and perplexed face. "Did I hear a coward?!" "W-what?! N-no! Of course not!" The scene took the attention of everyone in the room, "Hey, what's going on here?" another PDF officer steps in to shield their junior officer from the fuming Kommisar who looked about ready to unsheathe his saw-blade. "Your men have been reeking the scent of cowards, looking for ways to escape and avoid battle!" "Look here! Even if there are cowards within our ranks, you have no authority to deliver any acts among our own!"

The standoff between the Kommisar and PDF Captain stared long and hard until the Kommisar snapped when the kid didn't learn to shut up. "Heh- No wonder you Kriegers are expendable." The sentence didn't strike a nerve, as all the korpsmen have already considered themselves less worth than ammunition. However, it was the sense that the officer was applying they weren't doing the God-Emperor's Will – which was their sole base purpose, and having questioned it, has just triggered all Imperial Korpsman. "Hey! Hey! Hey!" The senior PDF Captain yells as he and the others made a chain to hide the young foolish officer from the incurring wrath of the Kriegers, until without being noticed – a single gunshot rang – publicly executing the naïve officer through the head.

Shocked, horrified, and speechless, the crowd was petrified except for the Imperial Guardsmen who nonchalantly stared at the limp body on the floor – who had just been murdered without an ounce of guilt – to the Korpsman who pulled the trigger. "T-tommy?" looking from the corpse of their fellow, it all laid onto a Kommisar who still held his aim at the spot where he ended the PDF's coward and brat. "How could you do this?! He was your ally; we are your allies!" The Captain that had been defending the officer; Captain Greg spoke up demanding an explanation, but all that he received was an autonomous voice that belonged to a Kommisar that he had been acquainted with, Kommisar Kaiser.

"He portrayed a scene that could have provided a negative outcome and a decrease of morale to your soldiers, and that can't be the case, Captain Greg." Kommisar Kaiser explained as he stopped faced to face with the PDF Captain. "You could have had him jailed, humiliated, or dishonorably kicked! But why chose death as punishment?!" In response in a condescending tone, the Kommisar answered as though it was obvious as he preached. "To lose faith in a war against Chaos, is the same as failing our Emperor who rest at the Golden Throne of Holy Terra." It had been short, but the statement was valid to all Imperial Worlds; including the backwater planet – Jules. Falling into a state of silence, the PDF Officers and Captains looked to the ground in shame and in grieve at the loss of their fellow, and their poor fragile faith made aware. In the midst of their mind revaluation, Kommisar Kaiser spoke once more to warn them. "I hope that there would be no more trouble within your ranks, Captain. However, should the situation arise again. I will not hesitate to execute anyone that should, even you, Captain Greg."
