Apocalypse (Game Thread : Closed, Dead)

[Athol]

Lith

Arriving at the accommodations Solara had acquired for everyone, Lith said goodbye to Urd and made her way to her and Solara's room. "Daaamn..." She muttered as she stepped through the door. "Don't think I've ever been somewhere this nice." Even before getting sent into the Eye, where when she did sleep it was always in full armour, thirty some-odd years of average civvie and Guard life, made her accustomed to more...rustic sleeping arrangements. 'Nother benefit of bangin' an Inquisitor I guess.

Grateful to see spare clothing laid out on the nearby bed, she stripped out of her sweat and blood stained training kit and headed for the washroom. Passing a full length mirror as she did, she stopped and made a face. My hair is too damned long... Her normally short cropped hair was now down almost past her shoulders, and the grey was a bit more pronounced. "Guard ain't supposed to get old." She chuckled to herself, as she moved on.

Once in the bathroom proper, she turned on the shower as hot as she could stand, before stepping under the water. Her fresh bruises, and sore muscles objected, but their aches and pains just reminded her she was still alive. After finishing cleaning herself up, and drying off, she went a flopped down on the bed. Best enjoy this while I can.

"i'm an inquisitor." Solara responded and walked up to the hotel with him. She walked up to the room with Dante and opened it, surprised to find someone had recently taken a shower. "come on in dante..." she said, cautious as the air began to crackel with warp energy before she sensed Lith. "Oh... Lith! what happened?" she asked, coming into the bedroom, curious to the events. "And dante is here, i'll need to speak to him in private, you might also wanna put some clothes on." she said, starting to try and get off her own armor. "Mind helping me a bit?" solara asked, still having missed the bruises.

 

[Athol]

Lith

"Oh... Lith! What happened?"

"Huh? Oh!" She mumbled as Solara spoke up. Clean and relaxed form the shower, Lith had started to nod off. "Nothing much, just hammering out an understanding with Helena."

"And Dante is here, I'll need to speak to him in private, you might also wanna put some clothes on."

"HEY DANTE!" She called out, still laying on her back. "It's not like he hasn't seen me naked before."

"Mind helping me a bit?"

"What? Oh, sure." Sitting up, Lith grumbled under her breath as her various breaks and bruises protested. "Ow...bloody hell, that woman hits like a Power Maul." Finally on her feet, she moved over to Solara, obviously favouring one side. "So?...this thing you wanna talk to Dante about? Is it okay if I stay, or do you want me to bail?" After how long the four, no, five of them had spent together, they didn?t have many secrets from each other...or so it was in Lithian's mind.

 

[mcpop9]

Solara raised an eyebrow. "hits like a power maul?" she asked, finally out of her armor and in the bodysuit underneath, when she spun around and found lith bruised. "Wait... WHAT?" she said, beginning to freak out and began scouring lith, examining the bruises. "Lith? what the fuck did you go and do?" she groaned while freaking out, blatantly ignoring her question

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"I'm an Inquisitor." Solara responded with as they walked up to the hotel.

'Of course, seems obvious when you think about it.' Dante remarked to himself as they headed up to the room.

"Come on in Dante..." Solara said as she opened the door, a slight tingling of warp energy could be felt in the immediate area as they entered the room and spotted Lith, albeit a naked Lith simply spread out on the bed. "And Dante is here, I'll need to speak to him in private, you might also wanna put some clothes on."

"HEY DANTE!" She called out, still laying on her back. "It's not like he hasn't seen me naked before." To that end, the psyker in question simply rolled his eyes. Taking a moment to give her a look over, aside from the obvious, it appeared she had been in some sort of fight, which she later explained was from a disagreement with Helena and received quite a heavy barrage of blows to various parts of her body.

"So......this thing you wanna talk to Dante about? Is it okay if I stay, or do you want me to bail?" Lith asked as she moved over to Solara, favouring one side over another. Solara, showing concern ignored the question entirely.

"Lith? What the fuck did you go and do?"

"I'll give you two a moment to sort things out. Solara, when you're done I'll be outside." Dante then exited the room, shutting the door behind him.

 

[Lunar Templar]

After getting to the hotel and parting ways with Lith, she headed to her and Dante's room. It was nice enough she though, lots of fancy things and expensive looking stuff decorating the room. A benefit of being in an Inquisitors personal guard she figured.

After a quick look around the room she stripped down and climbed into the shower to get cleaned up, weather she needed to or not, it was just a good idea and the water felt good on her skin. After that, and drying off, she found a robe, that fit her better then the clothing she had, and lay down on the bed. It was soft and comfortable, and a good place to just lay and do nothing while she waited for Dante, or Tony to show up, preferably Dante.

 

[Athol]

Lith

"Wait... WHAT? Lith? What the fuck did you go and do?"

As Solara spun around, Lith let out a groan that had nothing to do with how injured she was. Emperor give me strength... Stepping back, Lith turned away and began dressing. "Look, finish whatever it is you need to do with Dante...you can ***** at me later." Pulling on a plain shirt and pants over her underwear, she walked out of the room.

A few quick inquiries pointed her towards Urd and Dante's room. Pushing in without bothering to knock, she spotted Urd and flopped down on the bed beside her. "Lara has something to discuss with your boy...don't know how long they'll be."

 

[mcpop9]

Solara sighed and walked over to the the door, letting dante in and closing the door under them. "Sorry..." she said, then walked over to the table, her bodysuit offering decent enough coverage to her. Sitting down at the table, she offered him to fill his glass some of the pitcher of water that sat on the table. "So, what is it you wanted to talk about?"

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Sorry..." Solara said with a slight frown as she opened the door for Dante and then promptly closed it behind him. She then walked over to a nearby table and removed her armour down to the bodysuit. Now sitting at the table, she offered Dante some water from a pitcher was on the table. "So, what is it you wanted to talk about?"

"Well... it's about Urd you see. After yours and Lith's little display on the transport where you presented her with a ring; whilst we was the marketplace, she gave me a look that read where was her ring. Now I've got that part sorted out, it is not as fancy as yours, but Urd said that she preferred simple. The problem I have is two fold, the first is how to pay for it; since we haven't exactly been given any sort of funding. Second is how do I pop the question. How do I propose to her?" It was after this that he poured himself a glass of water then took a sip.

"I want it to be meaningful and everything, but it eludes me."

 

[Lunar Templar]

Urd was just laying there enjoying the computability of the bed, and almost nodded off, when Lith barged in and plopped down next to her "Lara has something to discuss with your boy...don't know how long they'll be." 'Sure, come on in Lith, make your self at home ...' Urd thought, "Oh? their here now, must be important if they're speaking in privet." Urd said as she sat up, and making sure she was covered.

 

[Athol]

Lith

"Oh? They?re here now, must be important if they're speaking in private."

"Yeah," She replied, still laying back. "Plus she blew a gasket when she saw the bruises." Letting out a sigh, she sat up groaning as her ribs protested. "I'm just getting so tired of it...ever since that first big fight back on the Divine Light, she's treated me like a Cat. I [http://light-tricks.deviantart.com/art/Warhammer-40k-Imperial-Guard-Medical-Triage-277992945] every time I get anything worse than a papercut."

Another sigh, and some more groaning, and Lith pulled herself to her feet. "Well I'm going to go see if the 'Gear Brains' are done with my armour...and sorry for just barging in like that, I just needed to vent." With that she stepped out of Urd's room and headed off to where she'd left her armour.

 

[mcpop9]

Solara
"Well... i can pay for it for you since i do have access to my mother's bank accounts, and as how to pop the question.... don't follow my lead on how i did it with lith. we're... kinda unique." the inquisitor explained to him and sat quietly, thought deep on her face. "Upon what i've seen of you two... you and Urd seem to be the more romantic types unlike me and lith who kinda just roll through life and fuck up what's in our way." solara added and leaned forwards, massaging the sides of her head. She was trying

"Girls are very unique from one to the other, no two act and respond the same way. But i think if you just took her to a nice, quiet and relaxing place, maybe some park or maybe even at a nice and relaxed dinner, nothing too fancy, then just calmly asked if she'd like to spend the rest of her life with you, however long or short it might be; i think that'd be the right course of action."

[hr]
Sana
Sana had the man layed out and was currently running diagnostics on his body, to find out what was wrong with any other systems. "Now that you're back, i'll take the cans, and if there are any servitors down there, bring them or their corpses up here, i can use their parts." Sana said and without rituals or any sort of mechanicus consented proceedures, began slowly putting under the priest and began slowly tearing down his body, taking out old parts, but making sure to keep the man alive and on makeshift life support.

"And anthony, if you don't approve of what i'm doing, tough, that's what rune priests do." she said to him as she was working carefully and with great care to preserve the priest.

[hr]
Ru
"Yes, it is definitely something we must take great care in dealing with, but i think their inquisitor may be a bit more receptive to it than most inquisitors. But that's not saying much." the ageless man said over the vox and began thinking hard. "I have a way to convince them if we can get those two alone, but you must be willing to bear your mind open to them; my brother." Ru commented and shifted his stance.

"If they gaze upon your own and my memories, then there's not much to doubt, since it would be the emperor himself explaining to them."

 

[Athol]

Lith

Lith headed over to the Munitorum where she'd left her armour and weapons. Seeing as the maintenance was complete, she briefly considered donning it but then changed her mind, instead getting the on-site tech priest to add some Inquisitorial insignia's to a set of flak armour. No sense in letting the locals hijack me...

Hanging her weapons on her new kit, she was about to leave when she remembered something. Doubling back, she sagged the engagement ring from her power armour. Slipping the ring on to her finger, she flexed her hand. This won't work in the long run...I should get a chain for it. That could wait though, in the short term she headed towards the *THUD* of the city's defence guns.

[hr]

Egerion

"Yes, it is definitely something we must take great care in dealing with, but I think their Inquisitor may be a bit more receptive to it than most Inquisitors, but that's not saying much. I have a way to convince them if we can get those two alone, but you must be willing to bear your mind open to them; my brother."

If Egerion could have still grimaced, he would have. "That may work Brother, but I doubt either psyker would have much luck with myself. One of the side effects of the process that created me and my first Brothers made us very resistant to the effects of the Warp, in all forms." He stood silently, recalling conversations from ten millennia ago. "I suspect if the 'flaws' in me and my brethren had not manifested themselves, we would have been used to hunt psykers lost to the Ruinous Powers."

"That said, I would permit Enginseer Sana to directly access my mind through the Machine Spirit of my armour. She could relay my thoughts to a pict-caster, and I could show them the Emperor...and Horus as I saw them."

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Well... I can pay for it for you since I do have access to my mother's bank accounts, and as how to pop the question.... don't follow my lead on how I did it with Lith. We're... kinda unique." Solara explained and then sat quietly, a look of contemplation written clearly on her face.

"Well that's one way of putting it." Dante thought to himself, as he raised into a bemused smirk.

"Upon what I've seen of you two... you and Urd seem to be the more romantic types unlike me and Lith who kinda just roll through life and fuck up what's in our way."

"Yes, you two roll through life like a bull in a china shop at times to use a very archaic term. But I thank you for the compliment nonetheless, at least I think that first part was a compliment." He then added, managing a quick laugh.

"Girls are very unique from one to the other, no two act and respond the same way. But I think if you just took her to a nice, quiet and relaxing place, maybe some park or maybe even at a nice and relaxed dinner, nothing too fancy, then just calmly asked if she'd like to spend the rest of her life with you, however long or short it might be; I think that'd be the right course of action." It was then Dante's turn to sit quietly and ponder over what Solara had said.

"Hmm, you've definitely given me some good ideas Solara, and a lot to think about. Thank you for that. Once the ring has been acquired, I shall draw up a few plans for the main event. It might be a good idea for me to pop the question whilst we're still planet-side, lord knows when the next opportunity will come to pass, if it ever does." Dante remarked as he took a sip of water.

"Once again, thank you Solara for the invaluable advice, your contribution is most appreciative. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I've kept my lady waiting long enough." Dante then got up from the chair and headed for the door.

"We'll talk later Solara, need to show you which ring it is and all." He then left the room and headed down the corridor a couple of doors, feeling Urd's presence on the other side. Clearing his throat, he knocked on the door a couple of times.

"Urd, is it alright to come in?"

 

[Lunar Templar]

Lith left as quickly as she came, and Urd just sighed before flopping back down on the bed and rolling over a bit, her back to the door. As she lay there she wondered if it was a good idea to tease Dante about the ring. Ultimately she didn't care if they got married, any such ceremony was little more then a formality at this point, for them, she didn't feel it was necessary given the pair of them were already like a couple that had been married for a long time.

But still she couldn't help but like the idea of them finally being official with a nice ceremony. Urd though process stopped right there. A ceremony meant she would likely have to wear a dress.

"... shit ..."

Urd was about to drift off for a nap when she heard a knock at the door followed by Dante asking if he could come in. "Of course it is." She said as she rolled over and sat up.

 

[Outcast107]

Vym stood over the hill of dead ork bodies. Twitching and cover in the fifthly xeno blood. Breathing heavily from the pure joy of it all as he held a ork skull in his right hand. Still beating the corpse of the last ork he killed, or what was left of it. With the last hit on the body, the skull shatter finally in his hands. Droping what was left as he walk down the hill of bodies, blood dripping off of him as he search for more targets in the area. Finding none but some of the survivors as he grunted.

He needed to find more to kill! He needed MORE! As he wonder which heading to go as he thought of his master. Perhaps she can give him targets he so desired. Letting out a insane laugh at the thought. Speeding away as he went into a full run towards his master. Looking up the map to see where his master was at.

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"Of course it is." Urd replied from the other side of the door. Dante entered the room to see a rather spacious bed before him, and as equally well decorated as Solara and Lith's room. Of course, the real crown jewel of the room was the lovely lady wrapped up in a bathrobe sitting on the bed. Dante raised a smile as he shut the door behind him, took off his coat and rest his spear against a nearby coat rack, then proceeded towards the bed.

After getting himself settled on a comfy spot of the bed next to Urd, Dante draped an arm around her shoulders to pull them closer together, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting my dear, I would have arrived sooner, but I had discuss some important business with Solara. So, how are you finding the room?"

 

[Lunar Templar]

"Sorry for keeping you waiting my dear, I would have arrived sooner, but I had discuss some important business with Solara. So, how are you finding the room?" Dante asked after he sat down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. One she returned with a kiss on the lips.

"It's ok I guess. Fancy as hell, but I'm guessing that's more to do with 'not pissing some one off that's attached to the Inquisition'" Urd said as she leaned against Dante's shoulder. "So, how the meeting with 'Lara go?" she asked as her hand slipped into his "Also, sorry about earlier, but it's, mostly, taken care of now. I'm expecting 'Tony to shop up sooner or later to discuss a few details. Just so you know whats going on." Urd added, then yawned a little "sorry, this rooms is making me sleepy for some reason ..."

 

[Evrant-Knight]

"It's okay I guess. Fancy as hell, but I'm guessing that's more to do with 'not pissing some one off that's attached to the Inquisition'." The comment had made Dante chuckle a bit as he felt Urd lean into his shoulder. "So, how the meeting with 'Lara go?" She then asked, before Dante could respond though, Urd carried on. "Also, sorry about earlier, but it's, mostly, taken care of now. I'm expecting 'Tony to show up sooner or later to discuss a few details. Just so you know what's going on." Dante gave an understanding nod as Urd let out a cute little yawn. "Sorry, this room is making me sleepy for some reason ..."

"It's quite alright Urd, perhaps the change in scenery has something to do with it?" He asked rhetorically, not expecting an answer right away from Urd given her sleepy state. "As for how the meeting with Solara went; it went well, and that's all I'll say for now, it's a surprise you see." Dante gave Urd a kiss on the forehead.

"Saying that, I have to pop out later with her for something." Dante noticed Urd's eyes were looking as though they were getting increasingly heavy, and was unsure if she had even heard what he had been saying for the last few minutes.

"Now, how about you have a little sleep my dear, you look as though you could do with it. Don't worry, I'll be right here when you wake." Dante then cuddled up to Urd as his arm moved down to her waist, holding her close.

 

[Anti-American Eagle]

Anthony looked at Sana confused as she took the cans of fuel from him. After putting the cans down she told him to collect their corpses for components and started working on him, with little preparation or subtlety.

As Anthony began to leave Sana spoke again "And anthony, if you don't approve of what i'm doing, tough, that's what rune priests do."

After smiling slightly Anthony turned and said "I'm used to working like that. I don't think we're going to have any problems." before walking back off to the Servitor pens.

Once back at the Servitor pens Anthony began studying the corpses one by one. Looking at their implants, scars, tattoos. After the first few, he started uttering prayers for them that ended in long drawn out half remembered hymns. There were alot of military tattoos, some had medals welded to their implants. He decided that after he was done with them that they were to be cremated so that their service could finally be ended.

After searching the bodies he decided on two corpses he thought would be appropriate. Highly cybernetic, still preserved, little damage, and no visible service record. He grabbed one with each of his hands and started dragging them back to the operating room.

Upon his arrival he dragged them to a spot a few feet away from the operation and said "Most of them were too far gone. Their parts wouldn't fire properly if they were used."

[hr]

As Lith walked towards the walls she would notice something as she got close. There was a lot of yelling coming from guards. Eventually it became clear what the gunners were screaming:

Dakka Dakka Dakka

. Every time they fired they seemed to scream it at the top of their lungs. The response from the orks on the other side would of course be:

Dakka Dakka Dakka

. To which the gunners would scream in response:

Dakka Dakka Dakka

.

[hr]

As Vymazat ran towards where he believed his master would be he heard screaming and gunfire. A group of orks seemed to be screaming at what sounded like a group of orks sitting on what looked like an imperial wall.
