With a long distinct sigh aimed at two different little details in the room Boris looks over to Alicia and open up a private little channel while he began to investigate the room at large for any possible levers or misplaced items that could act as a classic trip wire or lever of sorts. Twisting candle holders, tipped books, it was like one of those picter-shows he had watched snippets of on foreign worlds after joining the Inquisition. No such laxity and luxury at home nope. "Going to need King's corpse shifted to investigated sunken, discoloration in the floor Alicia. Also if ye would be so kind to tell Takeshi to quit spreading misinformation it would go a long way to stop myself from accidentally hearing orders to force feed him his own teeth and then whenever he shits 'em out go ahead and ball all that up for another force feedin' hmmm? Plenty fine with telling these people I'd like them to suffer an all, no lie there, in fact more I hear more I want them tae, it's the whole exterminatus bit. Not good if our own interrogator can't keep his facts straight ehhh? Also did ye wish me to tag along after our foreign folk and make sure they don't get ambushed?" At least his grin was genuine by this point, not quite that boiling tormentor's smile from earlier. (@TechCaptain ) Another channel shifted to as he performed his search. "Do me a kindness brother since you've got those fancy all seein' eyes. Spot any shifted dust or funny scrapes marking shifted book cases or somin' fanciful let me know aye? "
"Yes, tau." K'tikathat responds. He tries to peek inside trough the ajar door. "You go first. You are human, my... semblance may... kraa, startle them." K'tikathat gestures towards the door, tilting his head to side.
Kais sighs and shakes her head. She speaks in a low, hushed tone. "Quiet! Remember, on the Obsidian Wraith, I'm Kais, the Tau. However, when on missions, I'm Kai, the Human. Got it?" She gives a short nod and walks through the door.
Over the vox channel " Will do, Boris." He continued his search around, especially in the library. He also informs the others of what his augments already told him.
~~Shrine to Saint Thira, House Ortisa's holdings, Acele~~ As Kais opened the door and walked in, she would quickly see that the person whispering was clearly a scared altar body cowering under a table and clutching a charm, who's whispered mutterings to himself changed into a frightened yelp of "Don't kill me!" when he saw a person with very odd, borderline mutated feat charged into the room. He didn't yet notice Kroot that was just outside the room he was hiding in. While the two members of the retinue completely unsuited for diplomacy dealt with the altar boy, Alicia whispered to Boris via her comm-bead "I'll remind Takeshi about that, but I'd rather see that his minion is capable of acting independently from him for a short while." then while stalking over to the Enforcer she snapped to Ferenien "Ferenien, get the King's corpse moved for Boris!" before stepping up to Takeshi and whispered into the side of his helmet "Do I have to remind you that Boris is not that stupid and Exterminatus happy as certain other Inquisitors? Don't spread misinformation about fellow members of the retinue, especially when they're in ear shot." And while Takeshi was getting a slight tongue lashing from his boss, Firebat's augmentations would soon reveal that the smells came from a fairly fresh corpse of one of the servents that tended to the libaray, who had been stabbed in the neck. Other than where the servant laid, the Skitarii's senses could detect that nothing else had been disturbed in the library that he stood in. ~~~~~~ (@Shadhunter ) @Uriel1339 @Verticus @Vulpas @GoreWrencha @DeranVendar @Coffeechipmunk @TechCaptain ~~Deserts of Acela (Raided Camp)- House Karitha territory-Ogedei~~ While Ogedei dealt with the locals, he would soon spot someone bearing the red robes of the Adepts of Mars on the horizon, equiped with a mechadendrite, a bolt pistol and a Power Axe. For the bearer of those robes, the Tech-Priest Fredrick Tayber, the Space Marine that he could see engaged with a bunch of unenlightened villiages who could very well provide the aid he needed in his quest to acertain the veracity of the rumors floating around that a group on this backward world was using Xenos technology. @Warsmith_Dantioch @Colapse
@Maleth "I am a talker. What do you think I am doing? I manipulate the locals to work in our favor. I find it.... Disturbing. That you find more value in his butthurt demeanor than my street smarts. Is it not that you hired me because I am quick with my silver tongue?" Takeshi complained in response, also whispering back as he crossed his arms. That said, we might find some clues amongst House Harkon. They have recently stolen Antiseptics technology, my suspicion is that it's either because increased cases of pestilence and diseases which would indicate presence of Nurgle. Or they hate it enough or know of cases in other areas to defend themselves which would make them allies for our mission here." The Silver Shroud didn't get his pride in the way of his work, for crying out loud he was a hive-ganger-scum who posed as an Arbitrator, he doesn't have any pride, for what purpose even? It was the downfall of so many leaders and politicians, as long as he gets paid, everything is fine and dandy in Mercenary-land.
"Find anything interesting, Kai?" K'tikathat asks on language that could be considered Low Gothic if both speaker and listener were drunk, had lisp and laid face down on puddle of mud. "Besides the crying snotling?"
Ferenien nods to the Inquisitor, forfeiting his ability to fight and investigate for a small amount of time as he moved to the dead 'King's' body. Inspecting the corpse with his Helmet's built in oculars, Votum would observe the virtually outlined contours of the King's poor state before picking up the dead king in a respected cradle off of the indented flooring, before setting the crime scene evidence down a few feet away from it's original position. Standing over the body, Votum would nod at it, his given job had been completed; Silent Observations of the small religious zone continued from this individual.
She looked around the room checking for any other heat signatures, to no avail. "Hmm, afraid not." She slowly took a step closer. "What are you doing in here, young man? We are of no harm." She goes down onto her knees. "I'm Kai, nice to meet you." She extends her hand out to him, palm up."
~~Deserts of Acela (Raided Camp)- House Karitha territory~~ "I see," Ogedei replied to the leader of this village, his helmet not giving anything away, "Is this raid something that happened before and often? Also, did they steal something from you or just attacked you with no particular reason?" As he spoke, his enhanced eyesight spotted the servant of the Omnissiah on the horizon, walking all alone in the middle of a desert, instantly making the Khan suspicious. "And while you are at it," he turned his attention on the villagers, "Can you describe how these attackers looked like?"
