Chapter 39 - Upgrades boyz, upgrades!

The decontamination of the rest of the ship was easy. There were a few additional skirmishes and or explosions but it was nothing a propa ork would treat like a challenge. More like a little krumping after snack. 

Unfortunately, there was one thing that concerned most of the boyz and later on, started to scare them. The blue boyz no matter how much boyz tried to convince them did not stuck in. Which after translating to umie speech it means that tau did not even fight in melee. The realization of this put a lot of grots in a panic that it was some sort of illness that Doc had to conduct several examinations. Which led to a terrifying discovery. 

The blue boyz were infected with a mysterious disease that Doc Kidller called Inchopotency. This terrifying disease caused not only the inability to get stuck in but also the silencing of the dakka. This was observed from the fact that tau personal weapons were mostly quite silent in comparison to current Ork black-powder-like equivalents. 

The panic spread through the Waagh and Doc had to immediately find some sort of cure, as the first symptoms of Inchopotency already started to appear in freshly spawned Orks who had weak choppas and much powerful but silent Tau guns. 

In the end, it wasn`t the Doc that found the cure but Boss who decided to step in and save the Waagh from damnation. The cure invented by the boss was surprisingly simple yet effective. The plague was afflicting only small Orks so they needed to speed up their growth. Older Boyz and Nobs would simply gather new Orks and beat the plague out of them and as a preventive action they beat each other too. This caused the spawning rate of Orks to drastically drop down but the ones that survived were the toughest and foightiest of the bunch. This also dramatically increased the size of other Orks. 

Only snotlings and grots were left out of the treatment as they were to weak to get stuck in from the beginning so Inchopotency wasn`t treated. They were also too weak for the cure. 

After the successful implementation of cure and prevention measures, Boss made a very important decision. His Waagh was saved thanks to the wisdom he received from Gork and Mork, (In reality he was just pissed off at the whining boyz so he started to beat them up until they decided to fight back.) But what about others? What about umies who were weaker but still liked to get stuck in? They were not green enuf to fight de plague off. What about other Waaghs that for sure existed somewhere in the universe? They may not have such knowledge as he has or Doc Kidler. So Da Boss called his Waagh and while standing on the highest place available made a grand promise to eradicate the source of Inchopotency from the world with utmost prejudice. That and because it was fun to just shoot and krump them big stompas and ho sometimes his blows would miss by a hair like some invisible force was protecting them from harm. It most definitely wasn`t luck. It was like some sort of armor redirecting his blows to miss his foes. Boss did not like that too.

Nevertheless, boyz were ecstatic and started preparations for as Boss called it Da Green Kroosade to krump all them blue boyz. Most workload went to mekboyz as they had a lot of new scrap to process. Their main task this time was to make Boss a fitting suit of armor. Last time they completely forgot about it so now they went full power on it. Using different materials they reforged them into something truly Orky. They went to such lengths because earlier when they simply assembled Boss`s armor from Tau scraps, Boss smashed it into bits that could not be used even by Ork standards. His armor had to be Orky and made by Ork not a junk assembled from some scrap. 

As such the results were magnificent and truly Orky. The chest plate was made from the smelted hull armor plates. Later on, additional heraldry was welded into it. The helmet was made especially for him it also made Boss`s eyes glow red. It also came with very big neck guard that looked similar to Boss`s lower jaw. Giant pauldrons made from leg guards of XV104 battle suit. On his shoulders, two dakkas were fitted. Boss simply needed to look at the enemy and they would fire wherever he wanted. There was still some other tau influence visible but not to a large extent. All in all he was now in a very big, heavy, and powerful suit of armor. Oh, and also to the crotch a shield was welded to provide better protection for Boss's abdomen. It also had a beautiful Ork mouth welded to it. 

Boss Clobba also got upgraded. Graxmek dismantled some shield generators and figured out how to make out of normal clobba a powaclobba. In simple terms when Boss was about to hit something a shield would be generated around da clobba and it would multiply the force of impact. It also generated a better and bigger splat effect when smashing enemies. Boss loiked it a lot. The same went for Boss Dakka, from an old black-powder naval canon he upgraded it to hand-mounted rocket launcher. 

After his upgrades, Meks started upgrading other Nobs and boyz equipment. New boyz were beaten up. Lobs was shiting everywhere, and Tau were calling for the ships lost in the warp in the hope they will hear them and come back to them.
