*In the passenger cabin, the friendly space marine is about to show the snap-shots of he and his family at a bake sale for their church when there is another horrific wrenching sound, then a small explosion as a pencil-thin plasma conduit overloads, snaps free of its brackets and rips from the bulkhead, its severed end spinning wildly and spitting magma-hot sparks like an insane fireworks display. The deadly whip catches the soldier's arm just below the shoulder as he is about to pass the photo with enough force to cut through his armor and the soft flesh and fragile bone beneath. He looks with wonder at the stump, his arm hitting the floor still clutching the paper square of memories, then at Nathbor before he starts screaming, a sound quickly silenced as the flailing conduit again strikes blindly, this time decapitating him. The head falls to the floor of the cabin, followed by the other arm and then a leg severed at the upper thigh.*
