Shin Zhu moves to the bridge to help evacuate the wounded there with Sirius, and to move them towards the circular room to rendezvous with the Chaplain and the rest of the squad.

"Ease your mind brother" said Chaplain "Let us together repeat the Litany of Focus". As Chaplain started intoning holy words, he slowly led his Wolf brother back to the circular room....

Noctis followed the Chaplain quietly, still lost in thought as the painful memory pounded his mind continuously.

I promised her...

Krauz stood up, being in much better condition after even only those few minutes of rest, having been guarded by Techmarine Valonox all the time. He was standing tall and pride as it was common for the group to see him, just the wounds, damaged robes and the Purity Seal he just put back on the Chaplains shoulder pad were an unusual sight on him.

He then approached Noctis on the book, laying a hand on his shoulder. "I hope Taldeer is fine." The Inquisitor added, forming a warm smile on his lips.

Just as the group reformed in the distancce Sirius with Tsu'had who was supporting himself on the Apothecary's shoulder as he at least had regained concious. Tempestus walked next to the Ronin and Apothecary, being somewhat okay again.

Noctis handed the book to Krauz. "Taldeer heavily stressed that this book is not to be read Inquisitor. And I'm afraid... Ahriman tore a few pages from it." Noctis stated, hanging his head.

Krauz nodded. "Do not worry Noctis, there is a good reason why this is a whole book and not a single page." He said as serious as always, as he was. He kept the book closed and put it within his robe. "Any other instructions or anything Taldeer has said, or just something.... That only concerns the two of you? I know Taldeer and she is quite a... private character." He added and waited for the others in the hallway to come to the group.

"She also mentioned destruction was not an option. The book will be needed yet again."

Krauz simply nodded and eventually Shin, Sirius, Tsu'had and Tempestus. "We should extract now, Ahriman and whatever of his troops remained are already gone and I guess the Eldar need to regroup in the webway." He said and was starting to head off for the west hangars as he ordered earlier his Thunderhawk to be moved to the other hangar.

"Then let us not tarry brothers" said Stevanus "I'm gonna feel much better when we leave this ship for good."

Noctis followed in behind the Inquisitor, the pain of his wounds beginning to return to him.
