"Is it over? Is everyone alive?"
Emirys carefully dropped from the chandeliar, mindful of her aching bones and bruised flesh, and glanced around the room, doing a quick and very rough headcount.

"No idea but can someone help me and the techpreist up" as she spoke arerina grunted as her leg induced pain as she relised she was still holding the staff "i say we burn this place down to be sure"

A Dominion whom had lost her helmet staggered over to help Arerina and Zeth untangle, dropping storm bolter as her hands drunkenly reached out to start separating mechandrite from limb through a blurry filter from the abrupt trip. "One moment sister..." There was a moments hesitation once the figure realized Arerina was holding the blasphemous artifact, yet Dominion resumed focusing more on removing Volantis rather than really touching the crippled Retributor.

With vision clearing everyone was able to make out they were in the Governor's office, planetary lord having died on his throne with a great deal of his court present. There were no obvious signs of corruption, though a single gap in the floor surrounded by broken wood and stained by dark ichor seemed to be where the staff might of been initially placed.

"Anyone got any idea what to do with this staff" as she spoke she noticed how the other sister had reacted to her holding it

"Keep holding it, we'll secure it on board our main strike vessel once we're back in orbit. " Reese was on all fours at this point, a hand leaving floor to cup a large welt on her head from which blood trickled readily enough. "Let us not risk corruption being spread by having any others hold it. Once we're back somewhere safe we'll have both your body and spirit examined for any taint and get your wounds tended to if you're not a liability. " There wasn't an ounce of sugar coating with the Canoness, much as one would expect and demand of her rank. Arerina may very well be at risk of execution for this. "As for burning this place down..I believe that is quite fitting yes. Everyone on your feet, we head back outside and get an idea of what has changed since our trip. For all we know time might have flowed differently and this planet could be as dead as the day we arrived or entirely abandoned and our Sisters have moved on..."

Addec grockely came back to conciusness, had they been gassed? or had removing the artifact destroyed the realm?
He realised it maddered little to gim as he got more sence back, they where properbly out of the place, and he was seated in some sort of throne, he did not like the throne it was not of his kind.
He attempted to push himself up, his body was heavy, many of his bones broker, he had internal hemmoraging, he could recognise the pain of most of the wounds he had, though it was rarely he could say he ever had them all at once. The abomination had been surprisingly fast for its massive strength.

"I thought it wise as i was injured to take it on myself rather than have the posibility of sacrificing a fully operational sister take the risk" as she spoke she used the staff to stand up slowely and used it to brace herself slightly "id advise letting me walk as well as i can alone to make it less likely for any one else to be affected"

"We need to return to the outside world, check on the situation." Emirys paused as she remembered who else was in the chamber. "With your permission of course Canoness."

Alexandra was out most of the time as the others talked her body screaming at her in pain as she slowly awoke aching with on a broken table, She needed to get back up, As she slowly got up her arms seem to jerk out at times from the holes that were in her arms, Damaged muscle and wounds were catching up to her, as she slowly got on her feet. First Crawling out of remains of the table them next getting back on her two feet, She Then began going towards her other sisters, to wake them and get them back on there feet.

A Celestian would end up leaning up against Alexandra after she got her up and sorta standing/hunching. Bolt pistol in one hand she was clearly going to have trouble doing anything other than limping. "Thank you sister. " Reese glanced back at Emirys and gave a simple nod for her to proceed while stepping over to help Miria up, another Sister Superior marching over looking as if she had just stepped off a transport fresh as could be.
