Sedric has a bewildered and shocked look as he takes out his LasPistol, and tries shooting the back of the knees of the zombie that is fleeing to the banquet hall. "We cannot allow a single on of these SOB's to get in the hall!"

~~Underhive~~
The Iron Eater grenade did its job as the acid started to eat away at the hull of the machine, causing even more damage to that blasphemy to the Omnissiah, while his flamer claimed the life of another Rebel, who screamed in agony at the death that had been decreed by the Skitarii, while K'tikathat's charge managed to slam the machine over onto its side and even force the machine into a building, inflecting more pain on it.
Pierce shot another two rebels dead, the first one dying from a headshot while the other had his heart quite literally broken from a shot to the chest, leaving both to fall down dead, leaving Kais to land another barrage of lasgun fire on the Squad Leader, leaving the man on the brink of death.

Meanwhile, the PDF squad's Chimera continued on its streak of failure as it failed to hit anything yet again, leaving up to the rest of the squad to fight back. The Squad leader wounded one of the remaining insurgents.... Only to be accidentally shot by Terna. Arano barely fended off an attack by one of the more healthy rebels while Zerta managed to finish off the Rebel that his Squad Leader started off.

The Freedom's Angels were getting hammered, with the desperation of being the only survivors of this battle meaning that the two Rebels teamed up to try and take out the attacker that had struck the squad leader.... Kais, unfortunately ended up having her left arm shot off by a barrage of lasgun fire on the high power setting. That same desperation meant that the Squad leader managed to fire off a burst of lasers that tore into Firebat's chest, while the Officer's hotshot laspistol claimed Pierce's right leg, searing-hot bolt wounding the Vindicare that kept trying to kill her.
To finish off the retinue's misery, the Xeno-Machine fired it's Heavy Stubbler at Firebat and further tore up the Skitarii, while its front paws tore the Kroot's chest into bloody ribbons while also rendering his armblades useless.

"Well, come on through then.... That damn Enforcer is taking a long time to get his ass moving." Arbitrator groaned, letting them through. The pair would end up being directed to the holding cells where Takeshi was working his magic of making people talk, as Merius said: "Well, there are two second in commands: One of the is likely in the headquarters of the Freedom's Angels, overseeing their stock of Xeno-Warmachines and wargear, and will tell the Angels that the time is ripe for open war.... And given the Inqusistor is the type that seems to not mind the use of Xeno-Tech, I think she would want to get her hands on that stockpile."

After a pause for breath, the Cardinal then said "And my other second in command.... Would be in the Cathedral, preparing the network to unleash the various Plague Zombies... Storage areas hidden in the Hive that were marked with a Red X on the entrance, and he would also be busy the rituals for summoning allies that comes from the Warp."

~~Backroom~~
Miria's attempt to shoot the fleeing zombie in the back of the head fialed, as the zombie lurched forward and the bolt hit a wall instead, but Sedric's laspistol hit the zombie in the leg.... However, being dead meant it just carried on and fled into the Banquet hall. Astra managed to land a solid blow on a zombie attacking her, but said corpse managed to deliver a blow with its arm that sent the Blank reeling backwards as the zombie's attack fractured a rib.
The other two zombies attacked the Sister of Battle and the Guardsman respectively, the first one biting Miria, the Sister's faith preventing her from being infected with the Curse of Unbelief, with Sedric merely had his chest clawed by the second zombie. Meanwhile Alicia said over her comm-bead "I'll get Boris to hand that runner, just deal with any remaining zombies on your end...."

What lurks behind closed doors:
Plague Zombies x3:6, 6, 5 : Zombie (Must be killed by attack to the head/attack that would destroy the body.)

General effects: One of the Zombies has fled to the Banquet hall.

~~Banquet Hall~~
The Plague Zombie that Astra, Miria and Sedric failed to intercept arrived at the Banquet hall to face Alicia, who drew her Power Sword and charged the corpse before it could attack anyone present.... Not that it stopped the Highborn present, from Lady Ionria and the man that had been talking up Astra from panicking and running away, with only two Spyrers and Narthen sticking around to aid the Inquisitor by positioning themselves so that they could stop the Zombie from getting out of the hall. Meanwhile as Alicia attempted to block the corpse from getting further into the hall, she yelled to Boris: "BORIS! NOW'S THE TIME TO GRAB YOUR WEAPON FROM THE VAN!"

~~Wasteland --> Hangar~~
"If that's the case my Lord, I sure hope we can find that cult in time..." The Pilot said, as the Lighter took off, made a quick stop to retrieve Ogedei's bike and then returned to Hive Vestera at full speed.
Once the Lighter had landed in the Hangar, as soon as the Khan stepped out of the Lighter, a runner would turn up and say to him: "My Lord, grave news for you.... There's been an outbreak of Plague Zombies, in the Banquet Hall."

Astra, not used to battles of this ferocity, shrieked to communicate her pain before stumbling backwards and falling. The knowledge how to fall properly was not applicable here, where her world had just exploded in pain, and for more than a second, she was helpless to do anything but just lie there, clutching her side and enduring the agony. Visibly suffering, she managed to crawl to her feet, but did not stand fast. The blank quickly distanced herself from the zombies with a few steps, and pressed her back to a wall, placing her faith in her companions' skills.

'Firebat' was groaning painfully as his chest was riddled with oozing holes that sear shut in the intense heat of the inferno around him. Grey blood leaked from him. His powered scaled armor started making buzzing noises as the machine spirit cried. He threw his personal choke gas grenade to knock out or disable the remaining meatbags. Then he released prolonged jet of fire on the heretek travesty. " Suffer not the heretic"

It all happened so fast, but yet in slow motion. She heard a bang, and saw a flash. Her ears were ringing, and she went to grab a grenade with her left arm: The tingling was getting stronger and stronger. She couldn't seem to feel the grenade... Or anything for that matter. The tingling has reached up to her shoulder, and was slowly turning into pain. She looked over, and saw... Nothing. Nothing but seared flesh.

She saw the rest of her arm on the ground, perfectly cut. Her fingers were still twitching, trying to understand what just happened. Time slowed to a near halt, bullets seemed to stop in their place. She saw the black flames from the flamer, as his body was filled with holes. she saw the Xeno Tech midair, flying into the building; Shrapnel and rubble flying in every which way, but slamming it's feet into the Kroot. She saw the human lose his leg to a LasPistol.

She saw, what was once looking like a victory, turn into a failure so quickly. This is how I die, she thought, as she fell onto her back. The second she hit the ground, everything was back at normal speed. The sound of warfare, the sound of death. As she laid on her back for what felt like an eternity, but was actually only 30 seconds, she rolled over onto her stomach, and brought herself up with one arm. She stumbled behind cover, threw a Stun grenade at the group of Rebels, before slouching back down behind cover, and grabbing her AutoPistol.

This time not even the adrenaline and natural painkillers block K'tikathat nerves screaming about his body's condition. K'tikathat breaths heavily, each gasp of air sending another barrage of pain signals to his brain. He had tried to block the attack with his blades, but the sharpened steel claws tore them and his chest apart. It would take weeks to recover from these wounds. Should he have the change for rest. Mechanical beast proves to be tough opponent. Ideally one would have used the insurgents missile launcher against it, but it closed the distance too fast. Now it has disarmed K'tikathat and gravely wounded him. No time for regrets, what done is done.

K'tikathat dives his beak on the strap of his de-bladed armblade and tears it apart. Spinning around what essentially is tonfa now, he charges again at the beast and jams the stick in between the rotary heavy stubber barrels. It doesn't stop it shooting, but without cooling the single barrel will overhead quickly. While dangling on top of he beast, K'tikathat pulls krak grenade from his harnesses, tears the pin and lets the handle launch itself before showing the shaped charge into the heavy stubbers feeding slot.

"So I'm dangling by me great coat from this small chapel's lil spiky top bit after taking a short flight out of a burning Lander. I've got Gordon stuffed halfway through a window below me, feet kicking around while broken glass worms into his stomach and some cultist are carving up his face and I can hear our Sergeant Datun filling the opposite side of the building with las-fire and the other half of my weapon team is busted up with both knees twisted around facing the wrong way and the bastard is sti--- " Plague Zombie interruption! Boris had jammed a hand under his coat and forced the buttons loose as he initially drew las-pistol prepared to face such a threat however Inquisitor had other orders and years of obedience instantly kicked in as he jumped up on punch table, kicking bowl aside and then springing over top of the crowd and coming down into a tactical roll. Rising up a short ways from the door he boots it open with a vicious grin, using it as an opportunity to stretch his muscles, before vaulting out of sight and for the van. Given a minute or so Vostroyan would return lugging his beloved heavy stubber along. Shoulder strap pulled taut over a shoulder while both hands hung low to brace the temperamental weapon . "CIVILIANS OUT OF THE WAY! THIS IS YE ONE WARNING!"

~~ Courthouse ~~
"I, the God-Emperor and the Inquisitor appreciate your aid." He circled the Power Maul in his wrist, it appearing to charge up it's power levels as he stepped closer to the Cardinal. "May He be merciful with your soul, for you will stay tribune in His holy halls on Terra. By my position within the Holy Ordo Hereticus and loyal servant of the Imperium of Mankind and the rules set in the Lex Imperialis, I hereby sentence you to death." He held his weapon up high and with both weapons. "Your execution will be performed immediately." And with those last words The Silver Shroud brought the weapon down on the head of Merius.

Ferenien enjoyed the thought of another doing the talking for him, in this case; Zoran talking to the Arbitrator on duty. Now they have been lead to Takeshi and the 'Cardinal'. He would lend an ear to the conversations in place in the area, sticking with his new Techpriest 'buddy'.

OOC: Damn those dices are cruel.All those missing limbs...

"Hold your judgment Sar Yamada."spoke Adept Zeth as he stood in the doorway of the cell followed by Stormtrooper clad in onyx-black armor.Zoran reckognized Alicia`s pet Enforcer clad in outfits of an Arbitrator yet not bearing their mark.

"Inquisitor sent me to aid you in the information-extracting effort.It seems I have my work cut out for me.What has the heretic divulged?"inquired Zoran as he avoided actually looking at the Cardinal,yet his Explorator-dendrite turn its lumen-globe on and surveyed the Cardinal,pict-capturing.
