Editing Ashen Claws (section)

==Daily Routine==
04:00 - Reveille - The Ashen Claws awaken from their refurbished, <s>second-</s> <s>third-</s> thousandthhand beds.<br>

04:30 - Morning Meal/Morning Prayer - Most Ashen Claws no longer feel beholden to pray to the Emperor; while a few Marines choose to pray anyways out of a nagging sense of loyalty or honor, most choose to spend this time eating a light meal from the stacks of [[List of /tg/ Cuisine|comestibles]] that have been "liberated" from unfriendly planets or ships. (also why would they be praying anyway, these guys deserted pre-Heresy)<br>

05:00 - Morning Firing Rites - The Ashen Claws practice their firing drills. Since there's not much ammunition to spare on practice, the amount of time spent on these drills is half that of most Chapters.<br>

05:30 - Battle Practice - The Ashen Claws head to the battle cages to practice in live fire exercises. Instead of [[Servitor|servitors]], the Marines train on captured Chaos and xenos prisoners, since it's surprisingly cheaper than the former.<br>

08:30 - Morning Drop Pod Practice - The Ashen Claws climb into their beloved Drop Pods and practice deployments over the empty wasteland outside the Lost Eyrie. Any Drop Pod that accidentally strikes the fortress itself is turned into scrap metal for more [[Power Armour]] and [[Bolter|bolters]].<br>

12:00 - Midday Meal - A light meal is prepared by the Chapter serfs. Dried meat, bread, hard [[Cheese|cheese]], and Astartes-grade grog (probably stolen from the [[Space Wolves]]) are usually served, when available.<br>

12:30 - Tactical Indoctrination - The Ashen Claws assemble for briefings on the enemies they will be facing; instead of more traditional concerns such as the adversary's strength, equipment, or movement, the assembled Marines discuss what is worth snatching from the battlefield instead, and how to best acquire their future supplies.<br>

13:30 - Afternoon Battle Practice - The Ashen Claws assemble for close-combat drills, this time on static targets. A few of these targets look eerily similar to Imperial soldiers.<br>

14:00 - Meeting the Carcharodons - Representatives of the Carcharodons arrive to barter for fresh meat (both literally and figuratively), in exchange for shiny new Imperial tech that the Ashen Claws are sorely in need of. The Ashen Claws pull out every trick in the book to annoy or confuse the Carcharodons in order to gain the initiative in negotiations, which more often than not leads to what can only be described as Pawn Stars but with way more swearing and bloodshed.<br>

16:30 - Evening Raid - After showing the Carcharodons the door, the Ashen Claws raid the nearest Chaos/xenos-held planet or convoy to let off some steam. Ammunition, food, and new beds are the most prized items.<br>

20:30 - Evening Meal - A light meal is prepared by the Chapter serfs. Unlike many other Chapters, this meal is just as frugal as the others, without any unnecessary ceremony or luxuries, since the Ashen Claws are always in need of carefully rationing their goods.<br>

21:00 - Weapons Maintenance - The Ashen Claws repair their wargear to the best of their ability. Any captured equipment is either repainted or cannibalized to refit old Ashen Claws hardware.<br>

23:00 - Free Time - The Ashen Claws are given free time. Most participants of the raid will sort through their booty, during which some battle-brothers will participate in formal duels to decide who gets to own any new bed(s). A few enterprising Marines teach young Aspirants old space shanty songs, or more useful skills like tying knots or burying prisoners alive. Those unfortunate souls who have been "bonded" to by the Chapter's Kharybdis Assault Claws try their damndest to pry themselves away from their adorably yandere killing machines. Many Ashen Claws choose to simply stare out into the desolate wasteland of their quiet, lonely frontier world for an hour, silently contemplating their lot in life.<br>

00:00 - Rest - The Ashen Claws retire to their beds for the evening. [[Butthurt|Bitter muttering]] can be heard from the loser(s) of the bed duel(s).
