**Southsun Cove**
Akorn hit the ground running, sprinting on all four paws towards the skittering, nightmare-fueled beast that was the Karka Queen. She pulled her rifle out and fired a burst shot, dodged the pulsating mass of young karka reaching for her, and rolled to rest facing the towering crustacean.
"Olli, where ARE you?" the receiver hissed static at her. The queen was already staggering. She wouldn't last long.
Akorn peered over the cliff to the seething sea below. "Ah, there you are Legionnaire…" She pointed to the glimmering waypoint to the south. "You should probably record this waypoint on your map for future missions!" Her voice echoed off the salt-encrusted cliffs, and Olli's muttering return drifted up to her. She grinned and keyed into the receiver.
"Khan-Ur, all's good on the island."
"Excellent. Honestly, I can't stand that place myself. Too many bugs…"
"Haha, well, bugs would never scare a REAL Charr-" Akorn froze as her foot sunk into the ground with a sickening squelch. She looked down, and saw a karka corpse beneath her, the broken shell letting spill the oozing guts beneath it, seeping up between her claws.
"What was that Tribune? I hope I don't hear insolence on this channel."
"Not.. Not at all, sir." Akorn swallowed hard to force down the rising bile in her throat. Charr of the Imperial Legion do not lose their lunch at the sight of guts. They do NOT…
The engineer turned, stone-faced, to walk back across the bridge to the waypoint. Facing her was a wide-eyed charr, a look of amusement mixed with awe. Akorn grimaced, showing all her teeth.
"You ever want to make a difference in this world, come join the Imperial Legion, cub." She pulled a poster out of her satchel and shoved it into his paws. Then she marched, double-time, away from the bugs and the sun and the salt crust, somewhere she could take a rusted BATH at least…
In the cub's claws, the poster read:
> JOIN the Imperial Legion! Reunite the Charr! Crush your enemies and dance upon their graves!
> We are welcoming players new and old who love this game! Skill level optional. We play through the story, open world, WvW, PvP, some of us even know how to raid! (Not ALL of us though. And especially not Akorn. Don't ask her to go near that she'll lose her fur from stress.) We are extremely laid back and helpful.
> This is a Charr Only RP guild, so if you've ever thought it might be fun to role play a Charr of the High Legions, now is your chance! Come help us build up the guild from scratch and be part of a great group of players.
> Contact guild imperator(second-in-command) (kybizen.1723) or our Khan-ur(guild leader) (nobledeth.2310) in-game, or reply to this message, and we will get back to you asap.
See you at sunup, recruit!!
