Egerion

"Interesting. Apologies, but my Inquisitor hadn't bothered to brief me on you. Would it be wrong to ask you how you were found?"

Egerion rumbled a bit is surprise, but let it pass. "Not really." He replied. "The full details of my 'discovery' are classified, but I can tell you some of it. I was found, still in stasis, aboard a space hulk that emerged near Talasa Prime. A Deathwatch kill-team found me, and after I was awoken I joined the Deathwatch, as my original chapter was long gone...that was a century or so back."

Solara relaxed and let the psykers have manipulation of some of her energy. "You are free to use it to help barricade the door." she said and relaxed, knowing that she had the capability to stop a bolter, need be. So she spread her senes over the room, able to see it through her warp abilities, thankful that Dante had taught her them.

[hr]
Sana had finished his bionics and was currently finishing up his internal all while not touching the glass, hoping the techpriest would be alright. She stitched his torso back closed and took the damaged memory unit, linked it to herself then linked herself to the new one in his head. She began transfering over any file uncorrupted and making sure they all worked with Anthony's new part.

Urd was called next, she gave Lith a little wave, Dante had been in her head enough to know that he knew she didn't think they where leaving this ship alive. She followed the pair down the hall to another room with an wooden table and old man in a blue robe, who bid her take a seat, and she did

"Why? You all are just going to kill us all off anyway." Urd said as she set her helm on the table. "But since we're here, I'll humor you till my executioner gets here, assuming they aren't already standing behind me." she said as she leaned back, crossed her legs and clasped her hands together in her lap.

"I was taken from my home world of Fenris, after being falsely accused of heresy due to being born Warp Resistant, and placed on a Battle Barge know as 'Divine Light' for an 'exploratory mission' into the Eye of Terror, at which point we where informed by the late Inquisitor Lunette Draco, Emperor rest her soul, that the 'exploratory mission' was a load of bullshit, and we where all being sent of to die in a manner that all parties involved could save face." Urd started, never once breaking eye contact with her questioner, the expression on her face was pretty much neutral, but her eyes had the look to the of some one who felt they had been betrayed. "Shortly after we set out on our 'mission' and had entered the Eye it self, we where besieged on several occasions by at first a mixed group of Chaos demons and heretics, which bey the way, is one of the reasons for the rebuilt Eldar Flight suit, rotten chaos bastards ether stole or destroyed the gear that was in our armory." Urd continued "After a fe days we touched down on an old Eldar world that Slaanesh had managed to claim, it was there the now Inquisitor Solara took the Eldar Solitaire, known as Titania, into her possession and I got the suit you see me in now." Urd paused to get a sip of water they had on the table, didn't even care if it was poisoned or not, though she figured not.

"The other reason for the fight suit is, while scavenging for any resources we could still use, we came under, not constant, but very frequent attack from the local population, mostly warp changed heretics and demons. The regular assaults took they're toll, and my original equipment just gave out and I needed replacements, and since tactically, we where at a disadvantage with out a flyer of our own, and I'm rated for the use of flight gear due to advancement I was seeking at the time I was 'requited' for the trip." Urd paused again, this time it looked as though she was having an issue remembering all of it "Details get a little fuzzy from here, I know we got off that world and started for the next one, and I remember there being another attack and an order to abandon ship but I can't remember much clearly around that time." Urd said with a sigh "I've been having memory issues since I woke up, like, I have a brother, and he's a Space Wolf, but I can't remember his name or face there's a lot of other things that aren't as clear as they should be as well." Urd said, with some uncertainty, as she was still trying to remember things more clearly then she was currently able. "Anyway, after waking up here, and linking up with the Pysker Dante, we found a base that had been ravaged by Orks and put out a call to find the other member's of group and this is where we met up with the Terminator, Dreadnaught and Techpriest we where with when we where extracted, they had Lith with them so after our groups linked up, we set out to another base to the north, Dante having found Inquisitor Solara, and she having told him her location, a short time later and one questionable bit of tech getting used later, we got extracted." Urd said, concluding her story.

"Interesting." a noise blared from the Acolyte's communicator and then he spoke again "Apologies Ancient my master has called me to assist with something." He bowed and then he and his group walked away the same way they had entered.

[hr]

The blue robed adept looked at the storm trooper "Did it record?" The storm trooper checked a dial on his wrist and spoke "Yes sir." The blue robed adept looked at Urd and then spoke "Thank you. We will need to hold you further but you should be cleared soon."

He nodded to the storm trooper and spoke "Escort her back and retrieve the sergeant."
The storm trooper sighed for a moment and then readied himself, he'd escort her back to the detainment room when she was ready assuming she had nothing more to say. Afterwards the two storm troopers would retrieve Lith and bring her to the cell to be questioned.

[hr]

"Come out and face me *****!" was what Solara faintly heard through the helmet.

Whilst the others were all being taken out of the holding cell for questioning, Dante meanwhile had been continuing to help calm Anthony down, albeit using a less powerful method than the one he used last time, in case something like the lightning bolt happened again. For the time being, things appeared to be stable, no doubt the sedative that Sana had injected into Anthony was working in some capacity. Upon finishing another session, he saw that Urd had been brought back into the room, and Lithian was taken in her place.

"So, how did it go? They give you any tough questions?" Dante asked as he approached Urd, his voice sounding somewhat nervous.

"He only asked one, which I answered, by giving a summery of everything that happened, starting with being brought to the Divine Light" Urd said to Dante as they took Lith "Surprisingly he said I 'should be cleared soon', so I guess it went well considering I was expecting then to just off me the moment I said I was Warp Resistant." she added with a sideways smirk. "What about you? How have things been going here? Anything not worthy happen?"

Lith

Lith followed the two Inquisition soldiers into a small room, where an Adept in a blue robe was seated. "So." She said over her shoulder, as she stepped into the room. "Which one of you two is the trigger man?" When neither trooper reacted, she chuckled.

Turning her attention to the Adept, she took a relaxed stance, but remained standing. "Is this really necessary? We both know you don't give two shits about what I really have to say...you'll declare us 'heretics', say we've been 'tainted' and then issue the orders to kill us off. Why don't we skip all that middle ground and get on with it."

"Even if we intended to simply destroy you there is still due process. Even heretics can give useful answers to our questions." He paused "Your codes verified however we have little in the way of records here beyond you belonging to Cadia. Please present your primer so that we may update our records before we begin."

Before she could answer, a loud band could be heard from a distance away behind Lith.

"Likely a misfire, nothing to be alarmed about. Now, papers please."

[hr]

To the psykers in system it would seem as if millions of lights were turned on in the warp corresponding to the surface of Driseadi. Painful and briefly blinding they began to become overwhelming to any who looked through the aether towards them. Though if a psyker onboard were to look at the lights they would notice three of these lights nearby, onboard the same facility as them.

[hr]

The psykers around Solara collapsed in anguish as the lights began breaking through into their minds. They quickly stopped looking into Solara and started trying to cobble their mental defenses back together. As the barrier they had created on the door fell a bolt blew a hole in it.

The helmet that had been affixed to her head seemed to loosen without the psykers focusing on it.

She then added with a sideways smirk.

"What about you? How have things been going here? Anything note worthy happen?" Urd then asked, but before Dante could answer, he thought he could hear a loud bang occurring somewhere. Using his extrasensory vision to scan the area, he noticed three lights positioned around the facility, but could not fathom their meaning at the moment.

"No, nothing worth while at the least. Anthony's condition is slowly improving though it will take sometime for it to be stable. Whether or not he'll make a full psychological recovery, that remains to be seen. And I'd keep your guard up if I were you, can never be too sure what the Inquisition will do next."

Solara began to cough hard as she felt her warp powers begin to go a bit nuts. she pulled the helmet off of her head and began coughing hard, whatever had just happened was messing with her head. Hearing more bolts on the door, she threw up a barrier. The witch hunter fired and before the round could leave her gun, it imploded, leaving the hunter unharmed, but the weapon useless. "I am a gift from the emperor himself..." she said, holding her head. "You dare threaten a direct avatar of his might and will?" she questioned the witch hunter, solara meanwhile beginning to glow with gold light. The witch hunter wouldn't be able to get through the barrier either with weapons or her body as it shimmered with golden energy. "if you persist in the threatening of his holy will, i will remove you from this plane of existence as you have taken heretical actions against the emperor's will and wishes."

"Likely a misfire, nothing to be alarmed about. Now, papers please."

"Well that is going to be kinda difficult." Lith replied with a bit of a laugh; behind her, she heard one of the guards shift uneasily. Okay...him first. Seeing the look on the Adept's face, she figured it?d be best if she explained herself.

"Not long after I was yanked from my unit, and attached to Lunette, we got 'bounced' by some fuckers from the Warp. At the time Solara wasn't much of a fighter; and a Guardswoman, alone, against Chaos deamons is a pretty one-sided fight. So, she used me as a proxy of sorts...her psyker powers, channelled through my combat experience. It worked well, except one major flaw...I'm no psyker. That much raw power nearly burned me alive from the inside; not only did it fry my nervous system, and most of my organs, it also began to burn away my flak armour...my Primer was charred beyond recognition when that happned."

Urd heard a loud bang just before Dante replied, reporting mostly on Anthony's condition but cautioning her to not trust the Inquisition as well. "Don't worry about that. I'm Surprised they didn't shoot right then and there, but that by no means I trust them, even if they say other wise, until actions match words I've no trust for them at all." Urd said as she settled in next to Dante "Do wish they'd hurry up though."

The adept upon hearing that Lith had lost her primer shook his head at her.

"I'm assuming you have no other identification then. Could you please explain to me how you ended up in the system then?"

[hr]

The witch hunter with a horrified expression on her face dropped her now useless bolt pistol and started sprinting away from Solara.

[hr]

A frantic message came over the vox units in the base "CODE RED! Hostiles reported in Medicae lab Alpha and Interrogation block Six! Threat assumed Daemonic! Engage with extreme prejudice!"

[hr]

As an alarm sounded troopers began running through the halls of the base on their way to their posts, one seeing a detainment cell filled with able looking hands, ignorant of why they were detained threw open the door and yelled at them to get off their asses and work.

[hr]

As the alarms went off the adept that had been questioning Lith began to visibly panic.
He pulled a laspistol from his robes and yelled at the guards to take Lith back to her cell.
He stood and sprinted off down the hallways.
The storm troopers looked at Lith, decided she was unimportant to the situation and ran off towards the med labs leaving the door to the interrogation room open and unguarded.

Solara looked at the Examiners with a smile. "I could use some assistance with this issue in the med lab. Now, you must forgive me for taking leave in the middle of your examination." the inquisitor said, her coughing subsided as her mental capabilities came back together and the glowing subsided.

"If you wish to examine my powers, then examine me in battle." She said, and closed her eyes, trying to find her way to the med bay. She began to move quickly, taking hallway after hallway, navigating towards the bay in her armor.

"Don't worry about that. I'm surprised they didn't shoot right then and there, but that by no means I trust them, even if they say other wise, until actions match words I've no trust for them at all." Said Urd as she sat down next to Dante. "Do wish they'd hurry up though."

"Indeed, whilst I know them to be thorough in their questioning, a little picking up the pace wouldn't hurt." Mere moments later though, the Vox speaker above them was activated, the voice sounding rather distressed. "CODE RED! Hostiles reported in Medicae lab Alpha and Interrogation block Six! Threat assumed Daemonic! Engage with extreme prejudice!" And not a minute later, a Stormtrooper burst through the door.

"You lot! On your feet now! We need every able bodied person up and fighting now."

"Whilst we would love to help trooper, aside from Urd here, most of us aren't exactly properly equipped, given how we had to surrender our weapons on arrival, to do any actual fighting. So unless you can supply us with a weapon, or lead us to where our weapons are being held, we can't exactly do much."

"I'm assuming you have no other identification then. Could you please explain to me how you ended up in the system then?"

"Well, I do have my IDent number tattooed on my left shoulder-blade, but you're gonna need a can opener to..." Any further explanations were cut short when a message boomed in on the vox.

"CODE RED! Hostiles reported in Medicae lab Alpha and Interrogation block Six! Threat assumed Daemonic! Engage with extreme prejudice!"

Within moments, she found herself alone in the room. "Well fuck..." She muttered. First backtrack to Dante and Urd, then get guns, then get Lara...then get the fuck out. Sprinting back the way she'd been taken, she saw a trooper standing in the doorway of the room she'd been held in; she could hear Dante's voice from inside.

"Best you listen to the man." She said, coming up behind the soldier. "Unless you want me to use you as a weapon."

[hr]

Egerion

"CODE RED! Hostiles reported in Medicae lab Alpha and Interrogation block Six! Threat assumed Daemonic! Engage with extreme prejudice!"

Egerion grumbled in annoyance as the warning was given. With almost all the corridors far too small for him, he could do little unless the problem came to him.

Some guard busted in after the warning over the Vox about possible deamonic invasion, she wasn't to concerned but Dante spoke up with a very valid point, then she heard Lith from the door, and she could not stop her self. "She'll do it to, I've seen her, club a deamon with another deamon." Urd said, loud enough for Lith to hear "So kindly show us to our things." she said as the Plasma Weapons on her arms powered back up

The trooper yelled "Armoury's that way!" before running off

As the man ran off, Anthony began groaning and his new limbs started twitching into action.

[hr]

As Solara ran to the med bay she came upon the sight of a squad of deathwatch marines writhing eviscerated on the ground. In the center was their commanding officer, the sergeant who had overseen their decontamination being choked to death. The being choking him to death was a blood coated creature with an appearance between a cybernetic woman and a bloodletter of khorne. It's eyes glowing red it began to maniacally laugh as the life faded from the sergeant.

[hr]

Mara after hours of unconsciousness would wake to the world around her. She found herself in a warm soft bed, in a hospital gown, in a large medicae room covered in the dismembered corpses of tech priests and various other kinds of adepts. The door to the room was open and the walls outside were visibly bloodstained. In a far corner of the room was a man with golden eyes sitting against the wall and rocking back and forth. In the distance warning sirens and the sound of bolter fire could be heard.

After the soldier left, Lith stepped into the room, clapping her friends on the shoulders; she got in close so only they could hear her. "The way I see it, now is as good a time as any to bail. Let's hit the armoury and get our shit back, then while I try and drag Lara away from some fucking attempt at heroism, you two get us a ride off this rock. With any luck this shit hole will get overrun, then glassed from orbit, and they'll think we died here."

"Armoury's that way!" Shouted the Stormtrooper, pointing in random direction before running off to join the defence.

"The way I see it, now is as good a time as any to bail. Let's hit the armoury and get our shit back, then while I try and drag Lara away from some fucking attempt at heroism, you two get us a ride off this rock. With any luck this shit hole will get overrun, then glassed from orbit, and they'll think we died here." Lith said as she stepped into the, clapping both Dante and Urd on the shoulders as she stepped in close.

"Whilst I really hate to play devil's advocate on this situation Lithian, and I'm sorry for that, but I don't exactly think that will be an option. Besides, I highly doubt they'll have left the docking bay doors wide open, especially for people like us. And you'll have an extremely hard time trying to convince Solara to simply abandon everyone here to die, she's too much of an altruist to give up. Lets at least get our gear back and see what we can do to help."
