Turm IV Imperial Palace - Kill Team Primus @Uriel1339 | Jacen spat out a few wads of blood, glaring at the shapeshifter, and felt the wound the assassin's blade had inflicted, probing to check the damage. "We are not here to collect corrupt souls. We are here to end them." The Stormseer slowly approached the assassin, hefting his spear and a stormy expression on his face. "Shift into Inquisitor Kane, or anyone else from our histories, and I will end you."
@Uriel1339 "Welcome Pelantus and Buren, I hope my brother treat you well and don't try and kill you also I am sorry for insulting you I thought you had fallen to a darker path. You have made a wise choice I would recommend saying hello to your fellow brothers. Under section 272-CA-OA of the Ordo Xenos Rite of Acquisition. Due to you being the last of your company you are temporally assigned to the Ordo Xenos and this Deathwatch Kill Team as Champion of the 1st Company of Deathwatch. I will contact the Kill-team leader." Vahn face changed to a calm emotionless expression and let down his blade. @Keidivh Vahn activated his vox. "Zuriel I have acquired two Mortifactors once under the banner of Golbez' they now are working with us to aid us in our goal. Please respond."
Mariel grabbed onto the sealance that was shot straight into his chest, grunting in pain. Though this regardless didn't stop him from advancing towards his wounded brothers, his own life seemed to mean nothing to himself while he valued others more. Certainly there was a motive behind these selfless, if not stupid and suicidal actions. Claudius was first in sight, charging towards him as he attempted to stick him with his instrument and inject the healing serum.
Bargov put his missile launcher away, aghast that they were allowing these miserable excuses of soldiers, of astartes, to live after committing the most embarrassing thing for a space marine imaginable. Surrendering, laying their weapons down like a guardsman recruit. It was a new low for traitors. Hopefully, they would try and betray them at some time during the mission. Maybe at the security station they will try to shoot them in the back and bargov can eviscerate them on the spot?
@ItsTime @Uriel1339 Claudius waited to speak as Mariel began his work at healing. Once Mariel had finished, however; Claudius responded to the Assassin in a very interested manor, "Hmmm...You know, some years ago, perhaps even more recently, I would have attack you without hesitation. However, I find myself embracing the fact that we may utilize individuals outside of our normal structure. So, you say you wish for brotherhood and a more meaningful purpose, but would you be willing the sacrifice yourself for one of me or another that stands before you. For that is the meaning of brotherhood. (@Keidivh ) Claudius looked to Zuriel before looking back to the Assassin, "Brother Zuriel, I would be willing to keep a watchful eye on her if you would be willing to tolerate her request. See if she has the ability or desire to embrace brotherhood within the Rusted Legion." He then tilted his head at her, "I do not believe we know your name, however. Though I am sure you already know ours, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I am Claudius Aurelius of the Ultramarines, and formally of the Sixth Company."
~~ Primus ~~ "I am male." The Assassin complained, continuing to cross his arms. "And I would sacrifice myself for you, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for me. Is that not what your beloved brotherhood is about? I have no name, I was not important enough like M'Shen, or such. My callsign is Sigma-X-Zero-Seven-Three-Enigma." "Whatever floats your boat and does not sink mine." He shrugged, apparently not really taking the Psykers threat all too serious, or just not being able to be intimidated. ~~ Secundus ~~ + @seabass & @TechCaptain Both made the sign of the aquila and fell into rank. "The Security Room is just beyond this door." They pointed towards where the Chainsword Astartes laid dead and the crystal still was on the floor. "However we do not have any security codes. But we know that there is security in place to destroy invaders into the system if one is too long linked to it, through tethering or such. The Lieutenant does not appreciate invaders, then again who does." Pelantus noted. Buren in the meanwhile already marched over to the security room.
"Forgive me, as the form you took on through me off. Now, to address your importance and lack of name. Once you become part of a brotherhood, you have importance. I refuse to use a callsign to address you that those whom you said enslaved you used. So I believe a name of your choosing is in order, unless you still desire that name...Perhaps I could even give you a name of Macragge if you desired?" Claudius smiled behind his helm.
~~ Turm IV - Team Primus (Level 2/3) ~~ @matt23 | @Keidivh | @ItsTime | @Avenging-Angel "Just call me Zero." The Assassin settled on and sighed somewhat in relief. "The next level is going to be harder, but what you truly have to prepare for is the third and last level before the throne room. There will be plenty of Astartes to go by, but the most dangerous ones will be Sergeant Kraid, former World Eater and Sergeant Salantes, former Word Bearer. For now... Let's just keep moving forward. Every second we waste, the more time they have to prepare." Zero noted and moved towards the next pair of stairs which would get them to the next level. Player Attack: Spoiler None Enemy Attack: Spoiler None Primus Ally: Callidus Assassin (Mini-Boss) - 8/14 WL | 6 Armor - 15 hits, Ignores 3 Armor Discovered Talents: Grenade Deflection - Sends all grenades right back to the thrower Phase Armor - Every attack has to go through all 6 Armor, Ignores all Armor Ignores.

Medic - Every Med-Pack heals 2 WL or 1 WL and removes Status Afflictions ~~ Turm IV - Team Secundus (Sector 4/4) ~~ @Valonox | @TechCaptain | @seabass The group was led into the security room, a few servitors and guards were in here, simply shot down by Buren and Pelantus who had a need to prove their loyalty to the group. Once the room was cleared, Vahn and the others walked in. "This is the main console with access to the mainframe, if you can crack it." Pelantus explained, motioning to the massive cogitator in the center of the room. It was a massive device and Erxandros knew instantly that it was an older machine, most likely stolen or 'retrieved' from the age of the Great Crusades. It was a miraculous piece of technology. With hard drive capacities of what some Forge Worlds can only accumulate by linking all their cogitators together. This machine was capable of so many things... And yet it was only used for evil, but it also meant that Erxandros could find near infinite information about this world and their situation. He only had to pierce the firewall.

Mariel was still suffering from his grievous wounds, as the sealance was still stuck in his chest. However it didn't stop him from working on Claudius' wounds, eyeing their new comrade from the unlikely alliance carefully as he finished his work, grabbing onto the sealance that is still stuck in his chest, grunting in pain and moving up the stairs after the assassin. (Healing Claudius)
Vahn stretched and looked at Erxandros. "Erxandros you know what your looking at got any ideas on how to crack this brother?" Vahn sat took his helm off and pulled out some rations and started eating.
