Vahn after being cut charged in with a downward thrust with the longsword and a ravaging slash with the chainsword, Spoiler View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7NSUFDHFgg [Spoiler/]
Alderson sat at his desk. He was working on plans to expand the functionality of his forge and ending up reminiscing about when he first encountered the Iron Snake that was his protege. It was on planet Zetath IX in the Reef Stars. He was attached to an Adeptus Mechanicus STC recovery mission due to his expertise with xeno warfare. The leaders of the expedition expected some xeno resistance. What they got was much worse than resistance. It turned out there was a human colony there under attack from Orks and Dark Eldar. The was a squad of Iron Snakes that included Erxandros defending them. What the Iron Snakes didn't know was these humans were not quite human anymore. These was some Dark Eldar's escaped experiments and worshippers of choas. From the start this mission became disaster. His group of him and skitarii landed in the middle of that mess. The Iron Snakes and them ended up having to fight through it all to and underground vault that was suppose to hold the STC. They came back battered and bruised with a corrupted database and fragments to show for it. The Iron Snakes were the most devastated because the betrayal of the 'humans' was a bad surprise. Alderson got his chest piece upgraded when he went back to the Forge World Delanth V as a thank you for helping out. He also claimed an ancient Inferno Pistol out of the Armory as a personal gift of a grateful Magos that he pulled out of that Hell.
Tellon entered the Apothecarium after his conversation with the Watch Captain. He didn't mind being the head of the medical and Research center of the station. The Adeptus mechanicus had given several Tech-priests over to temporarily man positions of his staff until the Apothecaries could arrive to take their places. On one set of tables were several empty vials for when alien corpses were brought in for dissection. But at the head table where Tellon usually performed his dissections were two Nartheciums. A standard pattern for soft tissue and calcium bone structures, and another much larger narthecium. Sporting a very large drill with a sawblade instead of the small clean cut surgical blade, The Hagen pattern. His chapter was more lenient with allowing him to bring said tool with him, but command was still debating whether his Terminator armor would also be allowed to be brought. Eventually settling that it would be best to keep it back at the chapter until further notice.( @Uriel1339 | OOC: Tellon would have terminator armor in the Deathwing, but I eventually decided that the dark Angels would probably not want their Terminator armor outside the Deathwing. Unless you allow otherwise of course. ) Dissections gave the Apothecarium much to work with on Alien physiology and Biological processes, but knowing how an enemy lives isn't enough for a force that fights them. They needed to know how they thought, which brought Tellon to his office and quarters. Where his weapons lay in wait for when they were required, a simple but large bed was there for rest, and a terminal for quick access to the archives reserved for those above the normal rabble of the station. On his desk lay a Data-Slate holding in its contents, the worded outline for Tellon's theoretical facility to house captive aliens and interrogate them without endangering the staff from physical, or psychic harm. But Tellon wasn't the one who had the authority to construct it, He would first need Alderson to be onboard with the Idea. Then final say from the Watch Captain. OOC: Basic idea is kinda like the alien containment facility from Xcom. We have our teams capture live Aliens and then bring them to the Station for interrogation. Difference being that A. The mechanicus will build it, B. Apothecarium will staff its operation, and C. Librarium will do the interrogating since we don't have the magic science interrogation robot arms from Xcom. Really the whole purpose of it is to give the Librarians much more to do on the station outside of archiving knowledge.
OOC: Aw, aren't chaplains supposed to do the interrogating! I want to get all pious on some xenos filth! and that is part of their assigned duties as a Deathwatch Chaplain I believe

Erxandros groan as he left himself open trying that tendril maneuver and got scored pretty hard against in the chest and thigh. " Good One. " He said this as he tripped Bargov. As revenge he used his tendril to try to trap the Brazen Claws hands and scored another hit with his axe. OOC: Tendril and axe attacks.
Bargov brought both knives down to be met with only a glancing hit from Erxandros's power axe. What Bargov was not expecting was the mechanical tendril grabbing hold of his leg and dragging him to the ground! Unfortunately for Erxandros, He was not expecting the knives to remain on course and be brought down with much greater force on his armor! The moment the blades made contact, a terrible screeching occurred as the two blades scratched horribly at the chestplate of the Iron Snake. Bargov landed on his chest, but quickly got back up and jumped back for more breathing room, (@TechCaptain )"Had enough, Brother, Or shall we continue to try and beat each-other into the ground?"
The Iron Snake chuckled and shook his head. " Another round or two and I think we be done. This only a warm up anyways, Cousin. Besides, Forgemaster would be upset if I hurt somebody that was of his legion. He still remembers those days." The last was said with a mixture of sadness and wistfulness.
Bargov went in once more, but this time, he didn't try to attack. He began to use his knives to block Erxandros's attacks. "Ah, he worries too much. We would not be space marines if our training didn't involve the chance of having a visit to the Apothecarium. I'm sure the one thing I can count on from that Dark Angel is a quick repair of my flesh!" OOC: basicly what Bargov is doing is blocking attacks,to start conversation.
Erxandros shook his head at the statement. "True but still perfer not bothering the old squad leader of Alderson. What little I know of that particular squad made legends." He continued his assualt of Bargove using Axe, Shield, Tendril, and Servo arm. He was making this as hard as he could using all his limbs.
