"Yes I know as a light unit you have no Tarantulas,no Rapiers,No Mole Mortars, or even Thud Guns.... hmmm so you lak even bikes and land speeders as well?"

"No offense is taken. Quite the contrary, in fact. Your duty is to use your military expertise to advise and assist us in implementing the Emperor's Holy Will."

" I fear for my men. I know that we are already losses as Guardsmen, but I want to be damned sure that those losses happen over a greater extent of time. Assaulting the temple of those who are responsible for the Blessed Technology of the Emperor is something that I wish I didn't have to do."

The Captain glared, "May I remind you that both Vultures and Valkiries are Imperial Navy assets. They can be provided by this station."

Prius shoots to his feet. "Sergeant Jaerdn! You will deploy your men where you are ordered to deploy and achieve the tasks you are ordered to achieve, or die in the effort. Your words smack of cowardice and are a disgrace to the uniform you wear as well as an insult to the God Emperor himself!"

Zag soaked in the discussion without comment, but grimaced at the Commissar's words. Great, he thought, another lunatic. At least there was another Guard unit here.
The lieutenant cleared his throat and spoke up. "My squad specializes in reconnaisance, infiltration, and sabotage. We're ready to serve wherever the Emperor needs us."

His head slowly turns to bring the commissar in. In his eyes are a fire that would put the breaks on any servant of the Imperium for a brief second.

"I have no problem with dying for the Emperor for I know I have a place with him when I pass. I have seen countless die in my squad at the hands of Chaos. They will not escape. I simply want to ensure that I take many more with me then they expect."

His teeth grind as he grits out a response. "You will not speak of what you wish you didn't have to do again in my presence, sergeant. When the time comes we will act as needed, and you may rest assured that I will be at your side when we face the foe."

He wonders what ghastly lack of commissarial oversight allowed such a man to rise to the rank of sergeant in Jaerdn's unit, but if needed he will drive all these curs into the Eye of Terror itself in order to carry out their mission.

He sits down again, wondering if the insanity that seems to be gripping this station is contagious.

*nathan can you hear me?*
*I have been able to find out something about this place*
*older, then I thought possible, it predates our fall.*
*Kahla Mesna Khaine fought servents of the Dragon here.*
*as in the C'Tan known as the Dragon*
*you aren't having problems with Tech-preiests are you?*

communicating via thoughts was taxing, especially for him.

Senior Judge Xerxes al-Khalid stepped into the meeting room. He tipped his head slightly in greetings, then had a seat.

"What exactly are we facing in regards to fixed defenses around the temple?"

<handshake Uttharn, Vorus, techpriest enginseer, detached duty. Transmission acknowledged>

Recent events were making the AdMech look very bad. Attacking inquisitors and Space Marines does not look good in the eyes of the Imperium. It looked like the people down below were about to get what was coming to them, and the survivors had better have good excuses.
An odd comment caught the techpriest's attention. Tarantulas? Land Speeders? The Guard hadn't used that equipment in thousands of years, by decree of the Emperor Himself in one case. What was wrong with this guy? Vorus noticed both he and his servoskull had started staring at the strange man and made himself look away.

<What a mess>

Kruger turned to face his retinue. "It looks like we're wrapping up here. I expect the ship ready for departure in 10 minutes."
Sgt. Slate, Techpriest Xyng and Pater left the room, but not before Xyng had sent a digital copy of the minutes to Vorus.

Xerxes tapped his vox-set, opening a channel to his squad on the surface.
"Trooper Durgan here, Sir."
"Get ready to move out. I'll be down on the surface shortly."

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-11-26 10:05pm

Commissar Prius rises, "I must prepare my troops for departure." The commissar turns and leaves, presumably to insure that everything meets his puritanical standards.

The Assasain Chapel left so quietly nobody noticed him go.

Jolan Gix activated his vox and subvocalized, "Severa, do you read?"

"Affirm," the naval officer replied.

"Pick up Chou. We're leaving soon. Let him know we're hitting planetside and to pay special attention to getting information on the Mechanicus."

"You're keeping D'eckor?"

"Yes, the good sergeant will physically have my back."

"Good thing too. Too many elements in that meeting. At least one of them will be a problem."

"Evidence or just suspicion lieutenant?"

"Math," she replied dead pan. "With that many Adeptus and Inquisitors in one room, the odds demand it."

Jolan smiled. "Understood. Keep me informed lieutenant. If things go sour, I might need to be rescued."

"I'll see what I can do if it comes up," she replied dryly.

Nathans face darkened *What is a C`tan and yes the Tech priests from below have been acting unusually*

"Well Captain looks like I will need to commandeer a ride from you unless one of my fellow Inquisitors has rom to spare on there ship"

Nathan faced the AdMech that was looking at him "May I help you citizen?"

The Sarge leaves the room, pull his Corporal in close. He explains the Sitch to him and then repeats with his fireteam, as the corporal does. They look as if struck by a combination of expectation and fear. Whatever it was they were feeling, they set off for the docking bay.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-11-27 12:57am

"You!" said a voice from across the room, accusing finger pointing a Sergeant Jaern. Commissar Prius continued. "I will be keeping an eye on. Fail in your holy duty to the Emperor and I will deliver his divine justice upon you!" The commissar turned and walked back towards his troops.

As Judge Xerxes was walking towards his shuttle, his vox-set crackled with an incoming transmission.

"Area secure, sir. Fucking big crater here, but no sign of hostiles in the immediate area. We chased away a few gutter rats, but that's the only thing worth mentioning."

"Good. I'm boarding my shuttle now. By the way, did you get those haywire grenades from the precinct armory?"

"Yes sir, a handful, thank the Emperor."

"Good, that'll make our job easier...Judge Xerxes out."

Jolan Gix hurried towards the launch bays, Sergeant D'eckor jogging behind him. "When am I going to put these Emperor bedamned things down," the guardsman said under his breath, invoking the soldier's ancient right to bitch. Not that he really wanted to be parted from them. The ordinance was too damn useful.

Gix activated his vox again. "Severa, grab some naval security and a transport on my authority. Assume we are going in hot and get us some escort ships as well. The pot is boiling over."

"Affirm," she replied. "I'll take care of it. Redirecting our weasel friend to your location."

A transport car cut down the journey through the station's huge interior. It also allowed Hethor the put down the "Emperor bedamned bags" until they disembarked. Waiting for them in the docking bay was Anjun Chou. "Hey bossman, I didn't learn much. If we want results you're going to have to give me more time."

"I know. Now you are going to have to practice your art on the surface. It looks like its going to get hot quickly. Trouble with the Mechanicus. Several Space Marines were killed."

"Great. Just us?"

"No. Guard, kroot, tau, and several inquisitors. Oh, and Arbites. And whatever else people are bringing with them."

"Great. And we are going into this alone? Boss I don't mean to question the integrety of the high and mighty Inquisition but don't you think with all those xenos and your, ah colleagues, we should be bringing more heat with us?

"We are," said a firm voice from the other end of the corridor. Severa Valin strode forth at the head of an eight man squad of Naval Security troopers. There carapace armor was painted matte black and matched their short barrelled autoguns. "Shall we prepare for departure?"

Kruger strapped hiimself into the Copilot's seat of the Concord. "Are we ready to depart?"
"The Preflight Incantations have been conducted" Voxxed Xyng from the engine room.
"Everyone's ready back here." Sgt. Slate confirmed.
"You may commence." Twittered Shaper Mallok.
"I am requesting departure authorisation." Pater was strapped into the worn leather of the Pilot's seat.

Vorus ignored Nathan's question.

"A suggestion, if I may. The temple guards might still respect my status, if not that of the Astartes and Inquisition. I can try to simply walk inside and talk to the adepts in charge. This is probably the only chance to interview them, since they are likely to go down fighting if you storm it. As a backup plan, ask the governor to lend some artillery pieces from the PDF arsenal. Thankfully the compound is on the outer part of the Hive so there is nothing in the way, and you have my blessing to demolish it if anything happens to me. Grandpa here," he said gesturing at the skull, "will record the procedings so you will have some idea what happened if things go bad."

Nathan walked up to the waiting transport and greeted Gricx" Mind If I an my assosiate travel with you?"

G ix notes that his outfit has changed.Hids badge of office is clearly shown now but its the gear he carries that draws his eyes.The psycannon is of a stabdard pattern.But the Crux Terminatus on his right shoulder, The plasma pistols clearly show, even his Nemesis sword all look to be of ancient paterns.

What trully grabs Gixs attention is the figure standing behind Nathan easily as tall as a man yet wearing a skeletal outfit remeniscent of the fabled Legion of the Damned but what set him apart was his lithe form and the massive nmeter and a half long weapon suspended behind him on some sort of anti grav unit.An ammo feed leads from the weapon to a pack on his back.
