~~Shrine to Saint Thira, House Ortisa's holdings, Acele~~ Processing the information that Takeshi had given her, Alicia replied "If that's the information you got from being a 'talker' then I'm sure you could have got it without slandering your peers at the same time. Still, if you'd consider it a good lead to follow up on then tell me if there's anyone who might help you investigate it." Sometimes, she wished he'd take a lesson in how not to offend his own side. While the Inquisitor was busy talking with her contracted Enforcer, the alter boy grabbed Kai's hand and replied "I was in here looking for some ink, then I heard foot steps outside. So I stopped to look and saw a very tall man, almost like a giant, with a bow and a quiver of arrows, as well as a shortsword on his belt. He looked at me, and I-I then hid under the table before waiting to see what he'd do to me. Soon after that I then heard screaming and someone running quickly. Then it went all quiet until you found me." ~~Deserts of Acela (Raided Camp)- House Karitha territory~~ "The raiders are just bandits, Angel, dressed in whatever armour they have to hand and taking whatever they want, like they always do around these parts.... But this time, they had a metal cat that spat fire and a man in red robes that tended to it, and they seem to be getting bolder." The leader of the group said, unaware of the squat Tech-Priest that the Astartes had located and that his description could be considered a dead ringer for anyone from the Mechanicum. ~~~~~~~~ @Colapse @Uriel1339 @Warsmith_Dantioch @Coffeechipmunk @Verticus @GoreWrencha @TechCaptain @Vulpas @DeranVendar (@Shadhunter ) OOC: Anyone here who knows what to do when your keyboard breaks e.g. shift + 2 turns from " to @ and you can't use hashtags anymore?
~~Deserts of Acela (Raided Camp)- House Karitha territory~~ @Maleth @Warsmith_Dantioch "Most interesting," the Khan replied, remaining emotionless throughout the entire conversation. So these raiders had a tank with them, possibly a Hellhound if the description the man gave him was something to start with. A nasty vehicle but of a simple and familiar chassis, something Ogedei dealt with in the past during the times he and his Chapter were tasked to put down rebellions created by traitor Guardsmen across the Imperium. "I want you to reinforce your village and repair it as much as you can. Rest assured, I will avenge your fallen friends and destroy the raiders, putting the stop to their actions once and for all." He said his greetings and turned his bike around into the desert, heading towards the lone figure of the Omnissiah's servant. He prepared his weapons and loaded up bolts into his twin storm bolters, however he didn't fire as he approached the newcomer, although remaining vigilant as ever. Once the distance between them was around 15 meters, the Malaya halted and Ogedei used his helmet to cast his voice towards the tech priest. "Tell me, what is a servant of the Mechanicus doing out here in this desert all alone? Quite an interesting sight, this far out of any civilization I though I'd find only beasts and heretics?"
@Maleth "Certainly not the Kroot. I suppose I will take my new protege along and anyone else who might be interested to help, as long as it's not the hunter-alien. He might get bored and hungry or eat some of the chemicals mistaken it for food or similar." The Enforcer completely ignored the comment about 'offending' as in his own view, he was just getting his job done. Wow so a stranger they are never going to see ever again after this deployment thinks that Boris is going to throw them into the eternal fires of purgatory, so what? Was it not the Inquisitor herself who practiced 'the end justifies the means', having not just one but two aliens serve her? Sometimes he didn't understand prideful sword-up-their-butt individuals.
Firebat has been keeping his recording going. He goes ahead and reports all that he has found so far. His description is cold and technical. Using his augments he tries to make a timeline of events from what is known.
Kais held on to the boy's hand and stood up with him. "That must've been very frightening. What's your name?" She motions her hand behind her, telling the Kroot to stay back and to not enter. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Heading upwards pierce began looking on the upper parts of the shrine looking for clues anything that distinguished someone would have spent some time planning and waiting for the king to be in position before taking there shot. Looking on the ground also in case anything was dropped possibly from there assassin.
@Colapse "I could ask the same of you, White Scar..." replied the squat in a thick outlandish accent. "We don't usually get many visitors round this place, and the only ones that we do, are soon dead". He regarded the space marine through his grimy goggles.
"We got unreliable witness describing generic male of this world, kraa." K'tikathat reports to the Inquisitor. He looks around aimlessly, looking for something interesting and sniffs the air as apparently his sense of smell is his most important asset to the team.
Fredrick grumbled to himself, and with a swipe of his gloved hand to remove some of the dust from his dust-encrusted lenses, continued tinkering with a strange contraption.
~~Deserts of Acela (Raided Camp)- House Karitha territory~~ @Maleth @Warsmith_Dantioch "I've come with a ship, searching for clues about thing dear to me in this desert," the Khan replied, unmoved, "I see you are familiar with my heraldry, I can't say I have the same knowledge of your caste. Please, enlighten me - who are you and what are you doing here?"
