"There might be something else going on here......Wonder if we should visit the govenor and 'Inquire' what he is doing"

As the chaos ship was torn to pieces Gix turned towards Nathan. "You probably haven't heard of it, but in the Quixos file there is an account of how he stole the psyker Eserharden. He faked Eserharden's death in a very convincing matter. So I want to see for myself." Just then Gix registered a massive psychic disturbance.

"Take us down pilot. Look for the crater somewhere about here,' he touched the screen. "I hope the bastard's dead. I want to kill him personally, but if he can survive that blast then my chances aren't very good."

"Our chances Jolan ,you think you are going after him alone? though I`ll catch merry Hell from Lena later."

Nathan gave a wry chuckle."She may even tell me to take a vacation...let the others handle some things....Is Severa in your retinue?"

Gix strode out of the craft, psychic senses alive and searching. He attuned himself to the whirlpool of power that was the warp. He sent out a though. You lose again.

The psyk-energy of this place was wild, unsettled, a seething mass of confusion, doubt, and fear. The blast had clearly been a major affair in both worlds, and in the warp it had been the equivalent of stirring up a sandy aquarium, rippling the flows and tides murky and difficult to penetrate. LEGION was gone, that much was clear, but at least initially he could sense no sign of the PsyKing's presence.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 02:58am

Gix descended into the crater, looking for evidence. The PsyKing's force rod was likely to have survived the blast. If it was still gripped in a charred hand, that would be very convienent. Of course, it could have been thrown a kilometer away by the blast. But the bastard was too slippery for Gix not to look.

Nathan whistled " Looks like the aftermath of a battke barge attack"

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 03:00am

Gix shook his head. "Not nearly enough damage." Where are you, you bastard?

The sound of arbites vehicles echoed through the chasm as they worked to keep the area clear. Water still streamed across the middle deck, deck, pouring in a regular tide down into the lower hives. Emergency crews picked through the wreckage.

"Halt in the name of the Emperor!" an arbites called out, aiming his weapon at them. "This area is off-limits!"

Gix held up his rosette. "Imperial Inquisition!" he barked. Still no sign of him. With his luck the bastard had either been completely incinerated or had crawled away and show up with a new identity and he would never know.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 03:08am

"Nathan Talstrem of the Holy Inquisition" Nathan holds his rosette up so the arbite can see it.

"My companion is Inquisitor Jolan Gix"

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 03:13am

The Arbites lifted his weapon, although he nearly dropped it as the sight of the rosettes. Word of the inquisitorial purge of the Arbites in orbit had filtered down to the groundside, inspiring a great deal of fear and respect for the Inquisition among the judges. "Do you require escort or assistance, my lords?" he inquired.

The warp currents seemed to swirl around a centerpoint in the air... judging from the crater, it would be the origin point of the blast. It was as if for a brief moment the warp had opened on the hive, tearing a wound in this reality and leaving behind the scar that was the crater.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 03:15am

"Throne," Gix swore and he headed for the center. He was better at daemonology than other non-telekinetic psyker arts, but he still had a lot to learn. He extended his senses, probing for a clue in the maelstrom that was the warp. "Nathan! Do you sense anything?"

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 03:18am

"Yes .A full squad will do" Nathan looked at the arbite.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 03:19am

There was the roar of a shuttle landing nearby in the background as Gix probed the whirlwind.

Suddenly the vision came to him... the PsyKing on his knees, reaching for... something... LEGION standing over him, blade raised... an explosion... blinding light, screaming SCREAMING FREE FREE FREE! FINALLY FREE!

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 03:20am

"At once, Lord," the judge responded, calling for backup on his vox. A few moments later a squad of armed and armored arbites trotted up.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 03:21am

"Not really...like a whirllpool..... grace....."

Nathan looked around " He could be anywhere"

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 03:24am

"If he survived. This warp blast may have served to cover his escape through warp. Dangerous, but not impossible to pull off. And we know he's both strong and skilled." Jolan clenched his fist. "He may have escaped us again. How many more will he kill before we have another opportunity to take him down?"

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 03:27am

"Too many"

Nathan looked at the Arbites "Keep your eyes peeled ,if you seee,hear even smell something off alert each other...you may just be jumpoing at ghosts BUT it will keep you from meeting the Emperor before your alloted time"

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 03:29am

The senior judge nodded. "I'll tell the men, inquisitor. Do you know what happened here?"

Prius appeared at the edge of the crater, possibly to be followed by Severa and even potentially Adivan.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 03:36am

"Jolan!" Severa ran down the rim of the crater and embraced him. She held him tightly. "I thought you were dead." For a moment they just stood there as she held him. before they akwardly broke apart.

"How's Hethor?" he asked.

"They have to rebuild his spine. Big job. Lots of augmentics. Need a first rate facility. Hethor wants all the extras, of course." Her face was faintly red. A blind man could tell what she was feeling.

"Good," said Gix. "I'm glad he'll make it." He looked away. "He might have escaped me. For a second time. I've failed again."

"Don't-" she said before he cut her off.

"Yes. I did. And now he might have another chance to kill. How many thousands this time. He burned his way up from a hive. He might have killed millions. How many next time because Inquisitor Jolan Gix couldn't finish the job that others started?"

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 03:43am

Prius was scuttling down, assessing the damage with cold eyes. He noted that Nathan wasn't the only inquisitor with an attachment problem, but didn't comment. He served Nathan, not Gix, though Gix did have occasion to give him orders. He looked at Nathan. "Inquisitor's Novum's vessel is badly damaged, and many of the station refugees were wounded or killed. But our losses were relatively minor, considering."

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 03:44am

"Jolan more than anything else WE ARE HUMAN"

Nathan looked at him "Remeber that we try,we strive,we reach but can never attain perfection. According to the ecclesiasty there is only ONE perfect being.I know I am not him ...neither are you."

"We have stoped him here, forced him to retreat and forced him to heal which mens he won`t be able to surface again and spread the ruinous poweres taint. "

"We have won a small victory by that Jolan, we stoped him from delivering a new weapon into the hands of the Emperors oldest enemies. There was a high price to pay but. As you said before often We Inquisitors must be there to pay that price."

"Seargeant Judge be cautuious you know how insidious the ruinous powers are that is what happened here a fight between a servant of the Emperor and a minion of THEM"

At about that point, Adivan came over the lip of the crater behind Prius, and scrambled down to join the others.

"He got away, then? I only caught the last bit. Do you have any idea where he might have gone?"

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 03:47am

The judge nodded sagely. "Understood, lord. Your warnings are being passed along. Do you have duties for myself and my men?"
