Kat nods "I built it myself, I could produce another I guess, the technology as I am sure the mechanicus have discovered is really basic. I haven't seen such a glove, but I have seen technology working the same way... it was a ancient human made digger found on a mining planet in my home system. We found only it and no real blueprint but it was clear how it basicly worked. so I made my own version, The mechanicus should have records of this."
Captain Aleric was on board the first Valkyrie to the surface with the remainder of his forces that had been sent to provide the security for the trial. His Scions had allowed the skitarii to take charge of the fighting, which so far was only concentrated around the artifact, but with the arrival of their Captain, that was about to change. He strode off of the Valkyrie as it made planetfall, into the temporary HQ that his men had set up. "Alright Scions, I want a platoon at least at each of the tunnel openings, backed by their platoon's vehicles. The remainder of the Company will support the Skitarii. I want Valkyries on station to provide bombing runs and close air support if necessary. LET'S MOVE PEOPLE"
[I am sorry brother, the Governess has already designated persons to sit on the Tribunal] Isadore lamented. [Enginseer Psi-Gamma has been chosen. While not an expert in Imperial Law, nor my first choice, He will serve us well in this matter. I have provided him evidence, but it may not hold out against cross examination. The Laws of the Mechanicum and the Adeptus Terra vary greatly] [A servant of the Imperium cannot be tried by our laws. Just as we cannot be tried by theirs. Such was lain out in the Treaty of Olymipa. It is lamentable to admit, but Ingreen is not within our power to charge. Only an Inquisitor can render judgement over any person within the Imperium without consent. However, Lord Maese is unlikely to participate in this matter, as it is wholly beneath his attention] [In all likelihood, Ingreen will walk free. After reviewing her statements and numerous Administratum edicts and appendixes, I have determined that the unique circumstances of this trial are not encompassed in any law or addendum to date. We will set precedent this day. For better or worse] [Patience Brother] Isadore chided. [There will be time enough for statements. Let the trial proceed. We must follow proper protocols and procedures here. A single misstep and the trial will be thrown out due to technicality. Your testimony may also be excluded, if the Governess finds you too hostile]
Enginseer Psi-Gamma nodded to Administrator Kane, as he tapped at his dataslate, one of the many that sat before him. "Firstly, in answer to Administrator Kane's query: There is no specific STC for Ingreen's device. However, several Templates do exist that do incorporate the technologies that she has . . . re-purposed. Such actions are commonplace amongst the Mechanicum, as we rarely find Templates that are complete, and thus must fill in missing components with ones that are currently in use. So it has always been" "However, Adepts of the Mechanicum experiment on such devices within controlled environments, ensuring that such devices are properly sanctified in the name of the Machine God, anointed with sacred oils, and affixed with the proper runes and seals of warding. This device possessed no such protections and the machine spirit within was not appease with the proper litanies and prayers" "To that end, I read for the benefit of the Tribunal, an extract of the report prepared by Senior Adept Isadore Venturi, following his examination of the device:" " . . . After careful analysis and numerous dis-assembly protocols, the device fabricated by Ingreen, though primitive in design and function, I have found possesses an inherent simplicity and effectiveness rarely seen in constructs not fabricated by the Mechanicum. Though lacking the proper runes and seals, the device continues to function. How this is so eludes me at this time, but it is evident that the device is not heretical, merely a product of necessity. The devices machine spirit, though irritable, continues to operate thanks to Ingreen's unique and adhoc approach to maintenance. Though lacking in sophistication, I cannot deny that the device is useful. I have prepared a full blueprint of the device, with numerous modifications that would make it a worthy entry into Mechanicum's data-banks. Pending approval of the Senior Magi of Mars. I recommend that the device be properly sanctified and blessed within a Machine Temple of the Omnissiah. Ingreen will receive instruction on the proper prayers and observances to add into her maintenance rituals. Once she has proven capable of properly maintaining the device, she may have access to it without restriction. Should she fail to uphold the exacting standards of the Mechanicum, it will be at that time that charges of Techno-Heresey will be lain and punishment exacted." "To this end, the Mechanicum withdraws it's petition for charges of Techno-Heresy to be lain, providing that Miss Ingreen submits to the instruction so offered and sanctification of her device" the Engineseer concluded. ~*~ "Secondly, In the matter of Ingreen's testimony that she was not informed of her obligation to rendezvous at the Senior Adept's camp, prior to entering the ruin, I submit the following account of facts:" 1) Senior Adept Venturi requested that Lady Governor Esienfaust second Geologist Ingreen to his staff to apply her knowledge of Xeno-Archeology and Linquistics. The Lady Governor agreed. 2) Senior Adept Venturi commanded Captain Aleric and his men to secure Miss Ingreen and transport her to Camp Omega, for inclusion in the investigation of the ruins. The Captain did so. 3) Miss Ingreen, instead of waiting at the camp for briefing and proper equipment, departed the Camp and proceeded into the site without proper containment gear. Bearing in mind, an Omega-Level Quarantine of the site was in effect. It is noted, however, that full quarantine was not established until after Ingreen was already at the site, which allowed here to bypass the cordon established by the Skitarii under the command of Senior Protector Rho-Mu 98 4) While in the site, it was determined (and video feed recovered from Sargent Aeturnus's helm pict-recorder confirms this) that Geologist Ingreen did in fact strike the Xeno-alloy seal of the chamber with her glove and retrieved unauthorized samples of the alloy. "I present and enter into evidence, the sample contained within this jar" Psi-gamma stated, placing a sealed container on the desk before him, the alloy fragments within glinting in the artificial light. The solution that they were suspended in sloshing around. "These fragments were removed from Miss Ingreen's personal effects, following detention by Senior Protector Rho-mu" "I submit to the Tribunal to accept this account of facts for the record and that the persons named within these statements confirm that these facts are indeed the truth" ~*~ "Finally, I call upon the accused to admit that it was her tampering with the seal, that caused it to open in the first place" Psi-gamma proposed. "Furthermore, had she not opened the seal, Sargent Aeturnus would not have entered the chamber and awoke the Tyranid Bio-Form hibernating within, or the Traitor Legionaries for that matter"
Kat blinks. "I, of course agree to do the rituals, praying and incantations of the omnisaya, aince I see ko reason why not. But I assurera you... I got NO orders about arriving o any camp, neither was I led to the camp in question, I was directly escorted to the xeno artifact, and I did what i was sent to do, which is examine. For that I need some something to test" She looks seriously confused now (OOC: I remember it like that anyway)
"But would that not be included in safety procedures, miss Ingreen? You are a geologist, what is the standard procedure for taking samples and approaching an excavation site? Safety measurements and such?" Kane simply inquired, making notes of the Adeptus Mechanicus member as he presented his facts and the report of Isadore.
She sighes "I am first and foremost a biologist. I would normally have done it more carefully, but now it so happens to be that I didn't have the tools to get a sample." She shakes her head "I admit it was a mistake on my part"
"And in turn killed thousands, destroyed vital structures and finally pissed the imperium off beyond comprehension.." the long haired Inquisitor spoke kicking in the door with a parade of black templar squads behind him amounting to at least 50 of the decorated black ceramite armour plating clanking behind him. "Oh my dear governess allow me to introduce myself...Highly Decorated Inquisitor Gray of the Ordo Hereticus joined by my personal guard of the Blackened Crusaders themselves, I believe im not intruding given my authority in this matter but i shall have to give this trial a hold for I require Miss Ingreen for my own questions in this matter" he said sending over two of the Templars to pick up and escort Miss Ingreen over to the Inquisitor "Well arn't you a pretty one?" he asked as he bapped her on the forehead and sent her off into the group of Templars "I shall give you a full report of my demanded presence on this ship" he said before pointing to the commissar "you shall serve as my assistant come with me" needless to say the small group of Space Wolves and the Commissar walked over before the doors closed and the cohort was never seen nor was miss ingreen
