@EvicusDasan1 & @Colapse "I am being framed! This is all the work of Captain Sariel! He is a Fallen, not I! The transmission was not even sent from me, someone must have snuck into my cogitator unit and manipulated it. I was not even in my room until that, and when I saw that the unit had been operated I wanted to inspect it. Alas, my door was kicked in and I was accused of treason! Why would I, a member of the Ecclessiarchy and exemplar student of the High Chaplain do such thing!?" Baru exclaimed in fear of an unfair death, or perhaps fear of what was to come to him as he was revealed a traitor?!
Turning to Sariel, Farith spoke. "I have heard such whispers about you Sariel. Tell me how you refute them." Farith said playing the role of chaplain of his chapter. "Xanthen leave us...if you do not do so I shall assume Sariel is indeed a traitor and he shall be judged accordingly." Ormand said now drawing his bolt pistol as well.
"No Xanthen, you won't be leaving us, you'll stay right here and make sure Farith here doesn't do anything stupid," Sariel ordered his warrior while keeping close eye on his new accuser. "How I refute the whispers?! What whispers? Maybe the whispers planted in your head by this very Chaplain? Even now he squirms, afraid for his own skin more than anything else. If he was so pure, why does he sweat like a pig before slaughter?" Sariel asked, his conviction clear in his eyes. "But it is most interesting how you dided with the traitor almost instantly. I suspect you are on his side as well? Who sent you here Farith? Come clean and I promise you a fair trial."
"How dare you accuse me of such heresy!" Farith yelled showing emotion for the first time in years. "My loyalty to the Lion and his cause is so pure I have forsaken my oaths to the Deathwatch! I have forever stained my honor for the 1st legion! And you dare accuse ME of heresy?!" Pointing to Baru with his blade Farith continued. "I side with no one here because the Fallen must ALL be destroyed for their trangressions! I believe the Lion and Asmodai our chief chaplain would agree it is best I destroy all seeds of suspected heresy and end both of your lives for the small chance you are one of the traitors! But instead I chose to question you both and decipher who the true heretic is and this is how you respond? By accusing the only man here beyond doubt of this whole conspiracy?!" Still yelling Farith concluded his tirade. "I shall ask ONE MORE time. What do you do to refute such accusations?! Aside from accusing me!"
Regos - Before sending message "I had found some interesting data when researching the planets history sir. It seems there has been reports of increase output with the forges, Larger then usual around 10 years ago and found that the data maybe useful to both the imperium and the Inquisition sending data first towards adeptus terra then towards you to review." Regos said as he looked to the communicator planning to forward his finding towards the inquisitor next. Regos after - Regos was in a training hall training with a training servitor in melee combat to stay at peak condition and to keep himself alert.
OOC damn, what if Farith is the Fallen here? :O Shit just got real "Logic dictates that going back to yelling and calling names proves that you know I am right," Sariel replied coldly, not disturbed by Farith's burst of anger. "And you will not tell me what to do, by the Emperor you have no right to accuse me of anything. Why? Because you have no god damn proof! The only thing you have is a word of this traitorous Chaplain over here and what good is a word given by a snake?" "Because you chose to forget the fact I have proof for everything I state and I don't waddle around with baseless accusations. I've known Chaplain Baru was up to something, in fact I've been following him for quite a while, just waiting for that moment when he would let his guard down and make a mistake, for he long searched for a way to get rid of me and claim the control of the Company. The moment came and we gathered proof for our claims. But you would call me a traitor instead and threaten to kill me?! It's not enough for you that you met the men under my command, each of them my brother with whom I shared countless battlefields, and if anyone would know I was a traitor it would be them, but you dare to say a word of a 50 Dark Angels means nothing to you?" "Not to mention that you also forgot a convenient fact that I joined the Ordo Xenos as well and fought on their side for quite some time, don't you think that maybe, just maybe, the Inquisition would have discovered my identity if I was a real traitor? Instead, my record speaks for myself but I see now that you are not a traitor, just a naive man who fell for the lies of those less worthy of us." "Brother Xanthen, summon more men and throw Baru in the brig," Sariel said and turned to his warrior while still keeping the edge of his sword on Chaplain's neck, "Since we lack a Chaplain, it'll be up to us to make this traitor repent for his sins against Lion and the Emperor. As for you Farith," Captain turned once again towards his one-time brother and regarded him with cold eyes, "You have shown your true colors. Go back to your Inquisition, that is where you belong and don't bother to call me or my men for aid ever again," he finished and left Farith's room alongside Xanthen and his captive.
Conclusion: Time jump will come later today (either during lunch or at night) @EvicusDasan1 belongs once more to the Deathwatch (yay 2nd armor re-painting!) Baru is thrown in the brig and guarded by a Dark Angel, leaving him out as ally in combat. Dark Angels mistrust the Kill-Team, can have complications on the field. @Vulpas - Regos is free to go, however no report shall be sent until the Inquisitor has reviewed the data. There might be consequences for this 'backstabbing' @Colapse .... Sariel is in Farith's room, so you may wanna leave :X
Strike Cruiser Now equipped with a metal nose Athenallas descended to the training decks of the Dawn of War, taking his frustrations about everything out on dummies and servitors. He might as well be an Iron Hand for all the bionics he'd been saddled with. The eldar situation was irritating: how they'd managed to evade the Mechanicum's defenses and where they'd decided to base themselves. Wherever they had taken him had been nondescript, possibly not even on the planet, and the impotence he'd suffered whilst their captive now drove the Black Templar to liberally spray his targets with frag missiles, turning the end of the range into a splinter storm.
~~ Barnassus Campaign - Battle of Ladimur - Briefing & Requisition Phase ~~ In the middle of the night, 4:12am. The emergency call everyone had lingered for, for so long finally came. The entirety of the Dawn of War was covered in red lights and a shrieking sirene. Full Battlestation command and assembly for Sariel and Kill-Team, directly in the hangar of the mighty Black Strike Cruiser. "The enemy finally made their move. A small, but devastating force of Eldar have materialized right behind the gate of Ladimur, the second main production forge-city, only second to the Capital itself. The enemy is carving a straight arrow-like path through everything that stood in their path as they are marching for the Titan-production facility. It is the only one here on Barnassus. However the Titans themselves are stationed in the capital to keep priority targets to a minimum and together for easier defense." Inquisitor Kane only stopped to take a sip of her special blend of 'wake-up-juice', her eyes betrayed how tired she was. "The first lines of defense were penalty legionnaires of which all died as far as we know. The only force standing in the path of the Eldar as of now are Alpha Skitarii Zorg's troops who have been moved over there the moment the first attack came. The signal was scrambled and we could barely even understand the news, the enemy is using heavy jamming to cut communication out. And it worked, as apparently the attack is going on for over half an hour. We have no intel on the enemy whatsoever, orbital scans only show a large force. Based on our prior data, we must assume around two hundred soldiers and at least six tanks. It doesn't seem like an impressive force, but knowing the Eldar it is just a distraction." Another sip of her drink, it seems to kick in as her eyes open wider. "I leave judgment of how to protect the Titan Forges of Ladimur to you, Tellon. And I hope you support us in the defense, Lord-Captain Sariel? We will need your men, I am sure. Zorg's men are stationed right behind a strong barricade on the front entrance of Ladimur, a couple of Leman Russ tanks and that is about it. Inside, there is a multitude of Combat Servitors, but we do not really believe they will withstand a full assault. The goal here is to get the Eldar out of the forge and the city. Stop the attack and kill as many of them as you can in the process. If you can, capture a psyker of theirs. Reports from Athenallas and Silva suggest they are the ones leading the campaign. Your deployment will be completed through Thunderhawks or Drop-Pod, your choice." And the last of her drink was finished, letting out a sigh as the heat of the beverage and it's scent left through the exhaled air.
