Ah, now you've not played the RUNE METAL JACKET scenario have you?
SPOILER WARNING! LOOK AWAY! In that the PCs play trainee Lunar infantrymen in a newly raised unit. The most successful trainee at the end of the scenario is magically 'blessed' and explodes bloodily, one drop of his blood falling on each recruit's regimental gear and staining it red. His spirt is bound into the regimental standard and becomes the new legion's esprit de corps.
SPOILER WARNING ENDS! RETURN TO YOUR HOMES!
