OOC: Wow I forgot a lot of things in the last update! Consider this part deux. @DeranVendar Apparently this was the way up the librarian hierarchy so to speak, as Captain Lonyu caught Tur's reaction an gave him a slight nod of the head. @MetalDog4 @BadDo9 @Colapse @matt23 "Good, then let us begin." The servitor around Temur quickly got to work, trying to catch up with the process that has already started with the other former recruits. The armour being fitted to Temur was slightly different from the others, just as the one fitted to Mathius was as well. As the process continued the Master of the Forge began lecturing. "What is being equipped and entrusted to the three of you is the latest in Power Armour designed. We had finished the final production in Mars just before the invasion happened. Unfortunately we didn't have enough to supply the entire legion and we didn't have enough time to get it off planet. Now with the immediate conflict over and our numbers... decreased, we are equipping you all with the Mark VII Aquila Power Armour. Now as for you Temur, you're getting the Mark VI Corvus Armour, as I've been informed by other assault marines that it is more flexible in melee combat without sacrificing too much protection needed in close quarters." The servitors had finished their work, and now the Master of the Forge was strolling around inspecting each new astartes. "Now pay attention, these are some of the most essential equipment the Imperium will entrust to your care, and I expect everyone to care for their armour. I'm sure that this will happen under the watchful eye of Kren here." He nodded at the techmarine being outfitted by another pair of servitors, who nodded back. "Here's how you will make sure it is cleaned, repaired and well maintained..." With that the Master of the Forge went through several steps on the upkeep of their armour, making sure that every new astartes was paying attention. When he was finished he invited them to walk around and try out the new armour to adjust to the feel. Two of the former recruits however, stayed where they were. The Master of the Forge walked up Temur and gave him a second proposal. "Temur, I will offer this to you as I did another before. While some assault marines would like to have one hand free to utilize in various different situation, others prefer to have an extra defense at their side. That is why I would like you to have the option of selecting a combat shield to accompany you now. However, know that once you do, it will be a permanent addition to your arsenal, which means your range options would be reduced to zero outside of your grenades. What say you?" Meanwhile Mathius kneel before the Reclusiarch, who was reciting a prayer of duty and office to him, going through the ritual that every apprentice experiences before he becomes a full Chaplain. While this was occurring, two servitors approached holding the two badges of office to usher the apprentice into full Chaplain Status: the Skull Helm and the Crozius Arcanum. When the Reclusiarch finally finished, he spoke to the young astartes directly. "Rise Mathius. Take up your Crozius Arcanum and Skull Helm. You are now a Chaplain of the Imperium. Guard their souls well." @Vulpas Kren was surprised yet again when he felt his servo arm disconnecting. The techmarine was about to protest when the servitor spoke up that relinquished his complaints. "Installing servo-harness now, stand by." After a minute the techmarine was feeling out the two new appendages attached to the new servo-harness on his artifacer armor. @Xaphen The apothecary instead shook his head, and asked for the alternative quietly from the Captain. Lonyu nodded and gestured to get the Master of the Forge's attention, whispering a few things to him. The two came to an agreement and soon even more servitors flooded the room. The others watched in amazement as the armor was taken off of the astartes and a new set put on. All became clear, at least to Tur and Kren, when they saw the Crux Terminatus appeared and set on the shoulder of Ramiel's new terminator armor, which was fitted on to the apothecary. The Master of the Forge placed his attention fully on this task now, and when the process was finished he looked at Ramiel. "Now pay attention apothecary, these suits are even more important than the ones you've had before, and here's how you take care of one." He went through the procedure with Ramiel, making sure he could do the stuff himself, before stepping back and letting the apothecary stretch out and move about to get use to his new size.
<Temur> Temur thought for a moment. He wasn't much of a shot anyway, and a combat shield could definitely help in a chaotic melee. "I will accept the combat shield. I wasn't much of a shot anyway."
@MetalDog4 The Master of the Forge nodded, and a servitor holding a combat shield came up to Temur, who quickly picked it up with his off hand. This was while the jump pack was outfitted to his armor's back over the power pack. The senior techmarine nodded and said. "May you shield the Imperium well brother."
< Temur > The weight of the shield felt good, he was as proud as he could be to be able to serve his Legion...er...Chapter now to the best of his ability. "Thank you Brother. I shall take good care of these." Once outfitted, he saluted the Master of the Forge then took his place next to his squadmates.
<Mathius> Mathuis' head was lowered during the prayer and was repeating the words as they were said to him. Once they were finished with a deep breath he dawned his skull helm and grabbed his Crozius Arcanum as he rose from his knees. "I shall do everything in my power, even forfeit my life to guard the souls of everyone in my care." He turned from the Reclusiarch and made his way towards the others. He did however, take a moment to look over his new black armor. It felt so different to him but he knew it would serve him better in his duties. He looked to his brothers and nodded, pleased to see them all in their new upgrades and armor. He then began to look through the new codec to take note of the major changes. He looked up in surprise to the others, "We shall no longer be legions but chapters. And each chapter is to number no more than a thousand... Interesting. I wonder where we shall fall brothers..."
@DeranVendar The Master of the Forge walked up to the Librarian holding something out. "Hey Stormseer, I heard you lost one of these." It was a plasma pistol. @BadDo9 The senior techmarine would approach the new astartes as well, with several new weapons in hand. "I heard you like to shoot things, I'll trade you your current range weapons for these." He held out an astartes sniper rifle in one set of hands while a stalker bolter in his servo arms from his back.
<Tur> "Loaned it as a matter of fact, Ramiel needed a little extra punch against a few of Horus' dogs and I had more then enough fire power of my own. " Seer mused with a light smirk as he took the weapon, mag-locking it to his armor with a content sigh.
Kren looked of to Korael. "Because Korael You helped stand with us against those that seeked to destroy the imperium and all we did to help create it. Over a third of our fleet was destroyed and many of our brothers are dead and missing. If we wen't against each other we would be no better then those of the warriors lodge." Kren said "I still believe there is a chance of redemption for you." Kren said looking to the scout. Kren Before becoming honor guard. After Honor guard announcement Kren Felt a new source of pride as it was announced he would become a honor guard with his Three Brothers. But also He felt a bit of sadness in hearing that there command staff was dead.As he Got Ready for the servitors to Give him his artificer armor he felt Disconnected when his servo arm was removed like a part of him was gone. It would soon Come back when The artificer armor came on and The new Servo harness was Put on him. He Felt the tools as they went around him he Tested moving but noticed something new on his Chest plate as he looked to it was a mark That would Mark the battle of Terra and the Three legions that stood there ground against Horus and the Traitor legions. He looked to his chest place feeling it. Various Marks on it Showing That it That Of the White Scars and of Chogoris. He then looked to his Pauldron The battle of Terra mark was near A sigil that Identified him as a elite of the chapter. He would Likely Have to get to work Repairing the vessel soon. "Master of Forge I have to ask you when we were loading our ships back into Orbit Did anyone perhaps Find these Three Bikes?" He asked after saying the name of the Bikes that his brothers used.
< @WanderingJester > Korael looked at the techmarine, a small amount of shock on his hidden face. Was... he being offered weapons? Not just weapons, but... precision weapons? His face split into a grin, and he took the weapons with a bow. "Thank you, brother. I will treat these crafts with great respect." He examined the weapons one at a time. < @Vulpas @MetalDog4 @matt23 @DeranVendar @Xaphen @Colapse > "May I have leave to go to the firing range, brothers? I wish to calibrate these sights for my use... and get acquainted with them."
Ramiel was surprised to see what he donned now. It was hard to tell from the inside, but from the pieces that had been built on him it seemed to be a Cataphractii Pattern Tactical Dreadnought Armour. Oddly enough, it had a foreign symbol and badge on its shoulder that he had never seen on the Kershig before. The Bone white armor had a Red Lightning bolt traveling down his Left Helm lens to the hidden mouth of the armor and the object on his right hand was completely painted Red as well. This device was none other than a Narthecium with two barrels raised above the injection needle. It also had two open slides for two Magazines of bolts. The Master of the Forge's own little design. The Apothecary caught on quick to the use of walking, turning, and even some combat with the Terminator armor. He was no master of it yet, but he could at least function in it. The amount of displays and overlays did cause some trouble at first, but nothing that he couldn't adjust too.
