The Brass Descent

I scaled the granite plinth beneath the library portico to survey the terrain. The polished brass handrail swept downward across twelve stone steps like an unbroken transport rail. Standard foot march down the risers introduces unacceptable delay during tactical redeployment. A rapid kinetic slide drill was initiated. Bracing the soles of my boots along the cold, slick curve of the brass, I leaned into the gradient and launched forward. Cold air hissed through my respirator tube as the railing blurred beneath me in a seamless slide. At the lower scrolled terminal, I dropped my weight, planting both heels onto the stone landing with a sharp, resonant clatter. Descent completed in two seconds flat. Rapid egress route secured. #Warhammer40k #DeathKorpsofKriegGuardsman(Warhammer40,000) #DeathKorpsofKriegTrooper(Warhammer40,000)
