>staring out into the dark
>loading AP slugs into shotgun

I tell ya what...

>>47166536
Planed something, major?

>>47166547
Not really. But what's the situation around here? I don't believe I've been given the big picture...

>>47166566
I wonder why. Certainly not 'cause of your 'abit of wasting your time in communion with bushes and trees...

>>47166566
Right sir, we were attacked by a Chaos Raptors Cult, they call themselves the Vermilion Claws. Most info is restricted under inquisitorial frequency lockdowns so I don't know much. What I know is that I've heard something about Blood Angels and something they call the Black Rage... that's pretty much it, sir.

That's nice.......give me a shout when the Daemons appear.

>lazily cocks a shotgun.
>replaces the Carapace helmet that was shielding her eyes from the light.

>>47166566
Oh hey, sup' Gary? Short version is we came here to check out the Governor for Xeno collaborating or something and then some Asshole Marines that Sergeant Behrend and his boys apparently know appeared out of the hole in reality that also appeared.
>points at the Warp Storms with an equal amount of laziness.

>>47166605
Wellelsey! Good to see you are deeming us wort'y of yer time again. So, did you dispose of Laroque already?

>>47166626
>shrugs her shoulders.
I dunno. dealing with human traitors and Heresy is the Hereticus' job. So he's probably still around here somewhere.

>>47166586
Your skinny butt is about to be in communion with my belt...
>there is dried blood on his boots and fatigues

>>47166593
Yeah I figured that, I'm asking what the tactical situation is right now. I just got back here an hour ago.

It got boring soon after orbital bombarding these guys to the dust, do they ever give up?

>>47166641
Yeah but he is YOUR soldier, he was in your retinue! Didn't you even lock him up somewhere? DO I have to write a diagram to explain you why leaving him to wander around is wrong?
>>47166649
You know so little you would need orbital support to find the bathroom in the Penance, Gary.
>>47166661
Things have this 'abit of dying after being shot by a ship. It 'appens.

>>47166649
Well sir... we are currently regrouping, so we kind of have been given a few hours of rest before we are sent charging back into the fray.

>Prepares herself for future combat, her drone resting on her lap.
Everyone, do we have any new orders?

>>47166709
>Dies a little seing Xeno equipment being used so lightly.
No. Not yet. For now we are granted to relax and regroup.

Interrogator, I must speak to an astropath at once.

>>47166671
Ugh... where is Jackson? Needs to give her something to shut her up...

>>47166677
That it huh? Well maybe I oughta go out there and hunt em all down.
>starts rummaging for a camo cloak

>>47166709
D-do you really w-want to have any? I kinda f-feel tired.
>she glances at the drone, with very little interest apparently

>>47166722
Your regiment even has connections to the mighty Space Marines? Splendid!
>Writes down a note

>>47166709
>glances sharply at drone
>pointedly says nothing

>>47166732
Sir I think it would be best if we all made an organized attack when everyone was ready.

>>47166649
Tactical Situation is thus, we've got a few tanks and some Chimeras and some Chaos gargling shits are probably going to try and kill us soon. Good news, we're in an urban enviroment, so plenty of cover.
Bad news, the vehicles will be useless if we don't park them inside buildings, but they'll be useless anyway.

>>47166671
Not my concern anymore. That whole.....treason thing is sort of.....a Hereticus matter, not that it would be addressed around -here-.

>>47166709
Dig in and hold off the enemy assault. Other than that? Try and stay alive. Also, hi Sam.

>>47166722
Very well, Thunderhawk should be nearby, tell it to pick you up and then take it to the Patrol Group in orbit.
If you must, inform them that I will be -incredibly- displeased if I must come up there to clear it personally.

>>47166744
Spying again aight?
Silas Marr, was it? Who would this man be?

>>47166744
Not the reg itself, The sergeant and his brothers here is with Interrogator Alice's retinue, just as I am.

>>47166765
The safety of the Imperium IS your concern, "interrogator", if Orks were burning down the houses would you sit on your toes because "nuh uh me no hereticuz".

>>47166760
>grins
Heh heh heh...

I'm just going for some... recon. And a walk...

>continues rifling through the bins for the right texture of camo

>>47166721
Time to relax and regroup? Sounds good. Gonna do that then.

>>47166737
No, I didn´t. Just wanted to make sure. You know, since we are in this regiment...

>>47166748
>The drone seems to stare back.

>>47166765
Hi! Haven´t seem you in a while, how are you doing Ms. Wellesley?
>Stands up and begins halfheartedly looking for a shovel.

>>47166768
Hm? Spying? no no... I would call it making observations. I do not sneak around to listen in on an audio recording, for example. As for my master, he is relatively influential member of the Calixian Conclave.
>>47166776
That is still within my parameters of excellent.

>>47166798
Mhm.
>she nudges the drone with the tip of her rifle
Going to d-dig your grave already?

>finds a suitably dusty and ragged urban camo cloak
>puts it on

I'm available on the comms if there's a problem.

>disappears into the dark, towards the enemy lines

>>47166786
>>47166765
Uhm... what happenned with Laroque? Is he aiding another witch to escape justice again?

>>47166786
But you see, it's the Ordo Xenos that deals with Orks.
And no I wouldn't actually. I'd deal with the problem, just like I'd deal with this one if there wasn't a -much- bigger one diverting all my attention.........
>removes the helmet long enough to take a swig of Rotgut, then replaces it.

>>47166798
Just great, perfect, nothing wrong.....well there won't be -in theory- as soon as my Transport returns.

>>47166844
Dunno, he was at the bank or something then there was something about interrogation?

>>47166844
More like he kidnapped one... sort of one, whatever was going on with Amelia, but now Milady, here, has deemed 'im "not her responsibility". Since 'aving one of your man turn 'eretical is not a thing you should be worried about right? He just resisted her, acted against her orders and is now free to roam around!
>>47166863
And you complain about the luck of discipline in the regiment, eh...

>Dmitry & his rag-tag posse are moving crates with spray paint over tags
>the Aquilas have been left un-painted to avoid accusations of heresy
>But it seems as if they are heavy crates of...maybe credits?

Err... no? I was just planning on maybe digging a hole...
Takes the drone out of Mirandas reach, clearly worried more about the drone, than about herself.
Why were you asking? Do you want me to join in death?

>>47166863
Please don´t jinx it then.
...
Wait, transport. Say would itl be possible for me to transfer there?
>Looks into Corporal Eisens direction clutching her drone in her hands.

For anyone wondering, the drone is developing an selfaware AI.

>>47166941
S-such poetical words. T-totally wasted on me.
W-what were you going to do with that hole?

>grunts as he pushes off the rubble he was sleeping under.
wot time is it?

>>47166882
I fail to see why you're even whinging really. I'm simply adopting the local custom of "Allowing the Heresy to continue" that the 'local' Inquisitorial Personnel get up to.
>takes another swig of Rotgut.
I am rather confused why you actually want me to do my job.

>>47166941
It's possible, but it's up to you.

>>47166996
>rises from a pile of rubbish and liquor bottles
I have no idea.

>>47167005
Ah-ah-ah, your sarcasm stings soooo bad! Too bad I don't feel anything, must be some sort of mutation making my heretical skin too resistant to bullshit?
You came to this planet because that Amelia gal called you and now are you going to stop giving a fuck? Besides, Jackson may be an idiot, but he is consistent in his idiocy, while you are just being a cunt for the sake of it. The fact is, next time Laroque sabotages your plans, what are you going to do?

>>47167020
did you do this?
>points to his new arm all shiney and chrome.
It's real pretty this is.

>on the other side of the planet, a croissant shaped vessel breaks orbit and heads toward Gospyria

Also yuo saw nothing, if say yuo saw me with this here crate, yuo die. Da? Okay have nice day

>Dmitry & his stormie fellows lug over the crates to a Valkyrie, the pilot looking even more scetchy than the Valhallan covert-ops stormtroopers

>>47167005
>>47167054
Oh dear. If I may, I´ll take my leave before your verbal duel can truly begin... Maybe read that book Larrs gave me. Yes, that will be a good use of my time.

>>47167109
>to this side of it, someone feels hungry.
Mhhh, croissants...

>>47166968
Nothing. I was told to dig in and hold of the enemy assault. I had been given orders, allthough I wasn´t really planning on following to the letter...
>Sam starts to absentmindeldy inspect her drone.

>>47167005
Ah, erm. Understood. I need to think over for a bit, thanks.

>Sams drone flies onto her shoulder, before shutting down again.

>>47167054
Funny thing is, if I was being a cunt, you and your little Heretic.....or would it be Heretek? Either way, you'd be dead, or knowing our glorious Inquisitorial Overlords, worse.
And I dunno, actually do something about the Heresy? Would be a nice change for this place.
Still, if he can track us to wherever the assignments take us, he'll be useful enough to give a chance......after proper disciplining....

>>47167158
I don't know of what Heretek you talking about. Now if we want to do something about this shit and you need some... perspective on the future, feel free to ask. We have gone through more trouble than necessary because of... whoever Laroque works to. Probably Nyzart, wasn't his bodyguard on Beshk?

>>47167210
I didn't see who was with him, but it was -definetly- a Necron vessel. And Necrons aren't exactly lining up down the Hab Block to do humans favours, so it's a safe bet.

>>47167157
When I was on Oblivia you couldn't d-dig and hole even if you tried. Soil's too hard you see. To make trenches you have to d-drench it first...
>she sits near Sam
I haven't been there in a while, eh. Maybe it exploded? It would be fun if it d-did.

>Where have the stormtroopers gotten their hands on these crates?

>>47167235
I wonder why would they need that Amelia clone. Amelia 2.0. Whatever. Actually I wonder who the fuck she was... shame she had to be a big fucking 'ero this time.
Eheh. So we are even with her now?
>she touches her eyes and frowns
... maybe not, no.

>>47167157
I help dig, is okay with you? haven't had a dig in a long time.
>the hulking Ork has a whimsical look on his face.

>Shaking her head, Sam looks at the ground.

Mph. Then you deserved it...
>she lights up a lho for herself and offers one to him
>>47167346
She came back from the dead once, who says she won't again. And She was the same amelia, I could bet what is left of my hair on it! Same smell.

>>47167363
What, no, I d-don't know... I c-can't go there anymore...
>>47167347
I n-need to find him! Can you help me?

>>47167335
We are of almost done with important mission.

I do not like so many eyes on my actions though, so I will make haste if yuo have better things to do, which I presume yuo do?

>>47167297
>A stromtrooper glares at him

>>47167423
>pops his head up from drinking tea by the makeshift dispenser.

>>47167380
>Wisely decides to drop the subject.
Anyway, good luck with finding Mot. I still need to look for a shovel.

>>47167403
Are you serious? Actually no, that´s a good idea. When should we start?

>>47167438
whoops

>>47167364
>he takes it
Mostly okay... But, why did Amelia fight a demon if she's still Chaos?

>>47167438
>she jumps and lands squarely behind him before grabbing him and pinning him against the ground
Where. Did. You. Go. I w-was so w-worried.

>>47167364
This isn't going to be one of those things where six generations of Inquisitors need hunt through ancient tomes and documents just to find a true name and some sort of bloodline is it?
That'll be bloody horrible.

I might have some in cold storage from the very early tests... I don't know how much or if it'll work.

>>47168500
>>47168590
You see, it's better that I just stay off the ship.

Besides, if anything of hers, a Weapon or what have you did end up with my things, I'd need to sent a message to Praetoria and ask Lord Inquisitor Wellesley to look for it, my stuff was already shipped home.

>>47168560
"Indeed My Lord, I could say that I prefer Praetorian uniforms, but that would be a biased judgement, and Mordian uniforms are certainly outstanding themselves."

That's exactly what I'm saying. Soon as the Vermillion Claws are dealt with I'm shipping out on the Malleus Benedictus to Praetoria.

It makes my skin crawl and my head spin. There is something...not quite right, as is the warp was unsettled... What the fuck is going on on this planet, I wonder.

>saunters back in
>tosses away the camo cloak

>>47168922
So what might this information be, if it ain't privileged?

>>47168934
Because it isn't duh. It is more like a machine spirit, I think. AI don't have growth phases, Wellesley, this thing is literally a child now. Ask Delta if you don't believe me, maybe she can crawl out of her submissive behavior and give you an heads up.

>>47168932
Idiots like him tend to get themselves sorted out one day or another. Now drink your vodka. It's made from Eldar heads.

Miranda the Ghoul, Miranda the corpse eater! You t-think there is no r-reason I am, uhm, n-not allowed on my home p-planet anymore? D-do you think they threw m-me in the d-desert on a whim?

About fucking time. What is it?

>>47168985
I think that's in your past and I think you've come a long way.

>>47168934
From what I've gathered she was a child at one point. she even talks about body parts she doesn't have... And are you actually going to leave us?

>>47168969
Is sober day today, need to keep mind straight...

How make vodka out of eldar head?

Eldar head is like potato?

>>47169002
I still do all t-those things. They keep me here s-so I can m-make those on the enemies of t-the imperium, w-which is right, I think, but I a just an animal. L-lady Anna is right.

>>47168952
The request is, at its core, of political support in the Calixian conclave. Your penal regiment would make quite an impression, and maybe turn a few more heads in our favour. The request does have a few... Catches, to be sure, the greatest of which is the simple fact that you are not part of said conclave. That can be fixed, while also making your reputation there grow. There are a few missions my master has assorted that would be important enough, combined with his incentive, to allow you to be allowed into the local politics.

>>47169002
>notices Mot's gold crucifix
Hm. So what's this here? Looks damned old.

>>47169031
I fail to see why we should bother with this. Verasii has little to no interest in petty politics.

>>47169011
Heh heh, trade secret... maybe I'll share it one of these days.

>>47169031
So who is your master anyway?

>>47169039
>now Miranda has it, she was gifted it

>>47169074
Ah, question directed to her then

>>47169039
it was mine.

I-it is nothing! J-just a, uuh, a g-gift!

>>47168967
>>47169010
Oh by his Divine Will that's your logic?! It might have been a child at one point so it isn't an AI?
Predator Tanks are just Rhino APCs with more guns but do we call them "Up-gunned Rhinos?" No! Well call them Predator Tanks!

>Dmitry retreats and oversees the Valkyrie leave, y'know, the one packed with not-stolen goods.

>>47169091
>>47169093
Well, tell me about it. I've been around the Imperium more than a bit, but I've never seen anything like that. Looks like that man is nailed to a tree. I find that intriguing...

>>47169097
... so a Space Marine in a Dreadnought stops being a Space Marine? You are crazy, Wellesley, She is exactly like a Dread, minus the physical body as of now. I wonder how did she manage to do it, but I tell you I feel nothing chaotic about her.

>>47169115
it's a tool of worship, it shows the uh, emps sacrifice is all, the cross I mean T means Throne...
>Mot looks terrified.

Interesting... judging by how scared you clearly are, that's a lie, bit since this is also clearly not a xeno artifact, and does not seem to be Chaotic, I don't mind. In fact, it seems calming. I wonder who this man was...

>>47169151
>>47169171
Heh, I'd call that ill advised, Rex. Thronedamn but you're washed up...

>>47169186
he was just a man...

>>47169224
Looks like he was more than that... you'll have to tell me about him sometime, cause now I'm curious. Don't worry, I won't tell the brass.

>>47169171
Don't worry, you'll not notice that it is even missing.
*hic*

>>47169132
No, what -I- said is that if you take an APC and add extra guns and armour, it ceases to be an APC and becomes an AFV.

>>47169139
I ceased to be a -normal- person, yes. Now? I have no idea WHAT I am. And you obviously don't need me here, or when you said you'd "Take care of" the AI situation, you'd actually have done it, instead of letting it run rampant on MY UNCLES BLOODY SHIP!

>>47169277
I never said "take care of" I said I'd ask her, but I was sidetracked and no one even said anything to her about it... she cried for days...
>sighs
Why can't you just accept her?

>>47169290
Hm. A god then. A pre Imperial faith that has survived all this time... that's remarkable.

>>47169060
The cases that are being talked about are important: the main case is a witch-hunt on Dusk, which is mainly targeted at the so-called Dusk-Hag in the bogs. They plan to burn the forests down and cleanse the population of potential Heresy. My master is strongly against this. Second case is of my master´s incentive: it is imperative a certain event be allowed, namely an auction. It is part of his other investigations, and I´m afraid time grows short. Third case is the Exterminatus of the pleasure world of Quaddis, since the late events there are suspected to have caused moral damage to local population, and the secrets too dangerous to be left unburied. Another case my master is against.
>>47169067
Inquisitor Silas Marr. He is an Influential member in the Calixian conclave, and a member of Ordo Sicarius.
>>47169097
The other problems are the time it takes to travel, and the matter of whether or not you´ll be trusted. I have worked on both, and it should be easy enough to hide any too... problematic facts about the troops and command staff. The missions... There are three. Any one of them is enough to warrant votes for the Inquisitorial representatives here. There is the case of Tranch. Long-lasting mutant rebellion, a simple case of eradicate their defensive line so the local guard could make a push into enemy territory. Second is of a more troublesome nature of boarding and stopping a space hulk on collision course on the forbidden world of Mara. last is to hunt a rogue Inquisitor: as you can quess, the matter is complicated, but suffice to say, the Imperial fists, Departmento Assassinorum and Calixian Inquisition are all more than willing to accept his head on a platter.

>>47169349
>nods
my father told me about him, he sid it was my duty to carry on the faith, thou I know so little about it all.
>sighs

>>47169290
Jace! So it was my former drinking buddy back at boot-camp! I thought the fuck didn't like his old man? Why'd he nail himself to a tree.

>>47169371
Well well, looks like Marr has our work cut out for us. Does he want me to take any of these missions?

>>47169396
>considers knocking Rex unconscious

>>47169385
If you ever find any of their scriptures, let me know.

>>47169429
All of these missions are quite important, and all would make our case that much stronger. The situation at Tranch would require a large battle force, whereas the case of the space hulk could be fulfilled by a small, elite team.

>>47169475
I have one, Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you."
does he look like a bitch?
