"not really."

 “Then I’m not going to pass the knowledge part then.”

Quote from Markell_Thrasher_704 >>

"there is no knowledge part. all they want to know is if your a good fighter. they don't care if you can't count. actually most people can't, now that i think about it"

 “Why is that?”

Quote from Markell_Thrasher_704 >>

"well, most people in the Imperium don't have many of what other cultures would call 'basic knowledge'. basically, people just are. they don't need to do anything not related to their assigned task, which is to labor for most people."

 “So basically, Communistic society?”

 "communistic? no, we all serve the God-Emperor of Mankind. *it's basically a horrible bureaucratic feudal society*

 *my understanding of that is a government where high ranking officials are elected, but have complete control of the nation and a large military. Is that right?*

“Ok. Still, a lack of proper education is bad. What if some kind of disease appears and kills all the scientists or something? Nobody can study the disease because they don’t know how, so boom, mass extinction. This kind of society structure is a problem.”

Quote from Markell_Thrasher_704 >>

*not "elected". more like chosen by the High Lords of Terra. otherwise you're correct*

"well, seeing as the Adeptus Mechanicus are mostly machine, I doubt that would happen"

as she says this, another human walks out of the back room and says "Sergeant Ashleigh! it's been so long. what brings you here today"

 Sai goes silent and watches.

*would you like to join my other tavern? i made it with the catloaf guy*

 Maybe. Do you understand Sai’s reasoning for why the lack of education is bad?*

 *yeah, i never said i thought it was a good thing. I'm just roleplaying her as one of those "i believe in the Emperor and nothing else" types*

 *Sai is going to try to change that*

"im here to help a friend enlist" Sarge says, and they start talking about how you would best serve the Guard

 Sai starts looking around the lobby. Perception check using my ttrpg rules 19

Quote from Markell_Thrasher_704 >>

*if you're rolling for what you see:* they see more skulls, double headed eagle emblems, and a few cyborgs roaming around.

*if you're rolling to hear the convo:* you hear them mention you're from another world, and that you're not an Imperial citizen.

after they finish talking, the sarge turns to you and says, "well, looks like you gotta apply for citizenship first"

 “How long would that take?”
