"There will come a day" said Commander A'ragorn of the Space Marines as he slung his still smoldering blast rifle and surveyed the charred greenish Orch corpses that surrounded them "when we will meet an alien race that hasn't been ripped off from Tolkien and had the serial numbers filed off. But today is not that day."

He struggled with the sling, silently cursing the grotesquely oversized shoulderpads of his space armor. Not for the first time.
