"Da Tragedy of Hamlet, boss of Denmark" by Shake-da-boss-pole. [ edit ]

By: Razorboy



Notes on the current edition of “Da Tragedy of Hamlet, boss of Denmark" by Sister Anne Hath-away of Avon.

The current (and only) edition of Hamlet is attributed to an Ork ‘Kultur boy’ (which perhaps translates into some sort of a scribe or adept) designated Shake-da-boss-pole in 789.M41. Little is known about the author, but curiously for an ork he was spurred by some twisted desire to put down this tale of woe and treachery (‘cunning’ as he would have put it no doubt) for posterity. Being an ork and lacking any writing implements (or indeed an alphabet to use it), he instead used an Imperial vox transcriber operated by unfortunate human captives. The recording, as well as mostly undecipherable notes (likely made by Shake-da-boss-pole himself in a futile attempt to mimick wholesome human writing) were captured by victorious troops of 14th Praetorians Regiment of the Imperial Guard in the pacification of Globus sector. The lost Act 2, Scene 1 was recovered in a crashed Fighta-Bomma where it was used to patch a hole in the hull. According to scholars of the Order Dialogous, discrepancies in the text may indicate either multiple authors, or creative changes made by human slaves used to pen this narrative. According to at least one Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, it would be more accurate to attribute the text to Warboss Bacon than to Shake-da-boss-pole, and the reference to Ghazhkull a later addition by the cunning Shake-da-boss-pole who likely stole Bacon's manuscript.

Laertes: Do ‘t! If ‘e wuz proper orky and not used da Squiggoth I’d still be alive! Stomp da king Hamlet!

Hamlet climbs the Squiggoth despite his broken armor and extreme injuries.

Hamlet: ‘Ere we go! I’z gonna smash yer cunnin’ sneaky hide ya git! ‘Ere we go!

Hamlet goads the Squiggoth to crush Claudius to death. Laertes dies too.

Hamlet: I’z not feel so good Horatio.

Horatio: I’z not feel so good either boss. I fink it might’ve been sumfink I ate.

Hamlet: Dat squig, wuz poisoned by Claudius mebbe.

Horatio: It’z getting’ dark boss, I’z feel tired. Good night boss!

Hamlet: I’z not a boss no more Laertes! I’z da… Warboss… now…

Horatio dies

Hamlet: Oy! Wotz dat thunder noise?! Dat sounds like humie dakka!

Osric: Dat humie Fortinbras came back from stompin’ Chaos boyz an’ he has loads of dakka, more dakka dan e’en we do!

Hamlet: I… could’ve… stomped ‘im… too… maybe…

Hamlet dies.

Enter Fortinbras, Imperial Guard hosts, attendants, and an Inquisitor

Fortinbras: Where is this sight?

Osric: Wot’z dat you’z want to see?

Fortinbras: This quarry cries on havoc! O proud Death. What feast of carnage do I see before me! I hoped to smite the greenskin beasts, but in their treachery they shuffled off their mortal coil by themselves.

Inquisitor: The sight is hearty to mine eye, but news from Planet England come too late. An Orkish rokk of massive size and speed hath smote the planet. No xenos, no nor humans too, survived its fiery fall.

Osric: Den dem gits Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead.

Inquisitor: A foul xeno still abides? Alive despite our dreadful presence? I shalt anoint you with holy flame!

Inquisitor kills Osric

Fortinbras: This Hamlet Warboss would have been a worthy foe; to face in battle ‘twere true he’d be a sight to see. Alas, he’s dead now with his tide of verdigris. Bid troopers take the head of Hamlet as my prize, and let our guns salute Man’s rise!

The End.
