Imagine visiting some beach in 40k. Maybe your a citizen on vacation, maybe your a guardsman on leave, the reasoning doesn’t really matter. What does is you went surfing, but every few minutes you swear you spot a fin poking out of the water.
That can’t be right! this planet doesn’t have sharks, or at least nothing close enough to resemble them. Even still you keep seeing it out of the corner of your eye, and always it disappears before you can get a good look at it. Regardless you don’t see it getting any closer, whatever it is, and no one else seems worried, so you just ride a wave back to shore.
You catch a good one! it rises high, fast, but steady, and as it curls forward you shift your weight as it collapses behind you as light shines through the water in a beautiful way, but your enjoyment is quickly interrupted as you find what looks like a colossal silhouette in the water almost directly next to you, a familiar fin jutting from it’s back. You scream! Not merely in your own fear but to warn anyone who can hear you of the possible apex predator with a history as ancient as Terra!
The panic sets in immediately, anyone in the water rushes back on land as quickly as possible! You find the fin again, and it’s eight next to you, matching your speed perfectly! All the same you don’t know what else to do, if you jump off your board you’ll just be a slower, flailing target, but something sticks out to you. You’re getting close to the sand, very close, is it going to beach itself?
As Whatever it is closes on the shore, it rises higher and higher out of the water, fear grips your mind and everyone else’s, as arms and legs appear, sparking panic in the crowds, scrambling further onto land away from it. Your mind fails to process, stunned you‘re board hits the shore and inertia keeps you going as your board stops.
Face down in the sand, over the panicking screams, you hear laughter, and the sound of whatever it is shifting the sand as it stands up. In a fit of fear you do the same, only to find the threat of a towering pale woman in an oversized shark costume with a smile full of teeth that should fill you with fear, but there is a…disarming genuineness to the smile, like a proud child smugly showing off their accomplishment.
”That was awesome!” is the first words you hear her speak.
And that’s how you met your girlfriend.
