Satoshi knocked on his breastplate, "self-seal suits little lady, gonna take a lot more than mere suffocation to take this Astartes down. And Talon here can hold his breath while we make planet fall, won't you buddy?" He winked at her, which he should really stop doing when he has his helmet on. Talon glared at him, and the Ronin looked at the Librarian Dreadnought. "No questions, but Emperor's be praised. That's what I call leading from the front!" He laughed.
Vulpin- "I would not be doing my job if I did not join but I must asked do you have any more information on them besides your sayings? Forgive me if I offend But this is the first time hearing of them Could I have any information of there Existence or proof of what they have done." he said asking with what seemed to be manners
<The Apothecary> Armed and ready for his own special mission he got into one of the freighter-crafts. He put Durandal across his lap and looked at it in detail as if wondering if it would change too? No... Marmaroth still had Ill Omen, same name, same blade. He smiled and awaited launch. <Renate Walburga Brandt> Once her 'superior' was marching to the armory, she took 2 clips of Witchbolts and 4 Incendiary Grenades. May His Eminence bless her gear. Once geared up she approached and sit in her designated transport. "May we make Him proud, by destroying all of His foes. For Terra, Ophelia and our fallen brothers and sisters! Never forget that our family, us united under His will, are always stronger than any foe we encounter! They know nothing, except that they die the moment they know we have arrived to take their lives to Him to judge." Renate spoke with zeal and burning passion of a true Adepta Sororita.
Draconion observes the Mechanicus Ranger through the lens of the Warp as he boards the shuttle, his soulfire a kaleidescope of interlocking geometrical patterns, constantly changing according to intricate mathematical progressions. In other words, much like the vast majority of his kind. And, like the vast majority of his kind, a flickering orange spark of creativity and passion - of humanity - burned stubbornly at the very core. In his case, rather larger than usual - this one was more human than he evidently liked to let on. So very Mechanicus - so blindly devoted to their pursuit of absolute logic and objectivity that they forgot that the very act of observation changed the outcome of the observed phenomenon. And got quite upset whenever reminded of the fact. That said, they had made decent allies for the past ten thousand years, and this one in particular seemed quite the warrior in his own way. No sense making enemies on the same side now. Nominally familiar with Mechanicus forces on a broad level, Draconion decides to use professional shop-talk as a means of breaking the ice with the Mechanicus warrior. His eyes flicking open, Draconion fixes his gaze on Zeth's optics, holding the Skitarius' gaze a moment before nodding slightly and joining his knuckles together before his chest. "Ave Deus Mechanicus, Skitarius. Anvil honours Cog," he says by way of greeting, using an ancient salutation dating back to the very first XVIIIth Legion apprentices to Mars, "We have not been formally introduced. Brother-Librarian Draconion He'tar, at your service." He nods at the deadly transuranic arquebus. "I note your primary weapon with interest. Heavy armour penetration at stand-off ranges - much heavier than most Mechanicus arms of its class, if I am not mistaken?"
"Are you questioning my words, Inquisitor?" Marmaroth replied, his fangs bearing. "The proofs you seek are imprinted in every one of us who stand besides you here, for we have all seen the destruction the Alliance caused. That alone should be a proof enough. But besides it, we have evidence in our databases consisted of names, dates, locations and actions of our Enemy. However will you be able to see it, I don't think so. Remember Vulpin, the reach of Unholy Alliance is long and traitors can be everywhere, so being extra careful is a must."

<Feron> OOC: Between wasp extermination and Mad Max I've been absent longer than normal! Striding on out of the Briefing room Feron made for the Armory at speed, not paying any mind to the Canoness for the moment with rather important decisions relating to ammunition to address. Stepping forth one of their few servo-skulls was quickly punched into service rapidly flitting through their weakened armory collecting for him Two kraks, a frag and a blind. On order from the Armory was a clip of Dragonfire, one Kraken, One Witch Bolt and One Hellfire. There was of course a risk of any of those becoming quite useless depending on what they faced but best be a bit prepared for everything than not at all, they had the strength to make up for any shortcomings anyways, anything they couldn't deal with despite that would probably be too powerful for any of their base equipment anyways.
<After briefing> After all mission details had been made clear, Amraphel made for the armory. There he took one plasma one incendiary and 2 krak grenades, just in case they'd encounter any hostile vehicles. While on the way to the hangar, he performed some last checks on all his gear. His power armour had been fully repaired and was now operating at peak efficiency, his twin plasma pistols and the wrist mounted flamer also seemed functional and last but not least his new refractor field generator didn't show any signs of malfunction, at least as he, not being a tech priest, could tell. As he arrived in the hangar he quickly went through all available information for the last time, making sure he hadn't overlooked any crucial detail. After this was done he just stood in a corner of the hangar, waiting for the rest of his squadmembers to arrive, eager to see how some of the new arrivals would perform.
Ranger turned his hooded head to the right,glaring at Draconion,measuring his battle-plate the intricacies honored upon it and purity seals,pict-capturing and storing for later use...as always. With the handle of the great Arqebus on the floor,Ranger lifted it with one arm from the floor,tumping it to the metal deck of the Stormbird,clutching it at its ornamented barrel. "And Cog recognizes the worth of the Anvil.Ever since the Omnissiah has wrought it to existence."spoke Zeth as his eyes shone in the darkness of his hood with bright green color.The silver metal of his death-mask gleaming,reflecting the green color.He was obviously amused and surprised at Librarian`s greeting,tho if the later would take it as that,was a question of its own. "Affirmative.This is Transuranic Arqebus.I see that this is not your first time to see it.I presume you studied some technomata slates?"spoke Zeth,as he didnt wait for an answer,but hefting the great weapon,the rifle almost long as him,and half placing it in Draconian`s lap,the metal of the barrel tinged against Librarian`s ceramite armor. With expert movements,like he has done it a thousand times before,Zeth opened the six sized barrel near the trigger and removed one of the rounds.The round was longer the a bolt one,but far thinner.Its tip was gleaming with yellow color as Zeth clutched the round between his metal index finger and thumb of his left arm,showing it to Draconian in the dim light of the Stormbirds lumen globe. "Transuranic ammo.Traveling at 95% of transonic speed,the target is usually eliminated in mere nanoseconds after the discharge,no matter the distance.The very Arquebus sports at least two kilometer range,giving me flexibility needed for my calling in the Tech-Guard.The rifle itself is capable of silent mode..."spoke Zeth as he pointed at the tip of the barrel where rested a large bronze cylinder"I am...very proud of the weapon and i cannot wait to test it,since i only recently have acquired it from one of our scavenger teams.I wonder...what else this Hulk holds..."spoke Zeth as he looked blankly (?) at the empty passenger seat directly in front of him,giving Draconian the round for him to inspect it himself.Beneath the tip,small binaric chants were engraved,the scripture so tiny it could not possibly be done with a blow-torch. "It can pierce hull of a Leman Russ and kill the crew with kinetic blast alone,rupturing organics,thus disabling the tank without explosion."elaborated Ranger as he turned the weapon back to the floor,barrel pointed toward the roof of the Stormbird. "What are you carrying into battle?"spoke Zeth as he scrutinized the armaments carried by Draconian,already comparing their models with know ones in his data-base.
Peering intently at the Ranger's weapon, Draconion listens in respectful silence as Zeth expounds on its specifications and operating parameters. Accepting the round from Zeth in his right hand, symbolically supported at the elbow by his left, he bows his head in respect to the round's war-spirit before turning it over in his fingers. "Only 95% transonic velocity? How then does an inert depleted transuranium round develop such kinetic impact? I would have expected it to fly at at least 800% transonic or more. Or does it have a graviton collimator to upregulate its mass upon impact?" Looking up, he says, "I have indeed read some broad summaries on this weapon. I have never before seen one up close, nor employed on the field. A most impressive standoff weapon, well-suited to strategic in-theatre kills." He returns the round to Zeth with a nod. In response to the Skitarius' question on his own combat load, he unfastens Ryugamaru from its mounting on his left hip and holds it up in both hands, still scabbarded. The weapon's mountings are relatively plain and functional, sporting only brass dragonic motifs on the metal scabbard and the oval-shaped guard by way of ornamentation. The weapon itself appears gently curved, a hand-and-a-half design with a handle of suitable length covered in some sort of saurian hide and wrapped in woven fabric tape. "Astartes force weapon, custom design, designation 'Ryugamaru'. High-carbon steel-adamantium alloy, with psycho-reactive crystal matrix inlay. Sollex-Aegis-pattern electromechanical components, comprising psychic capacitor and bleed regulator, auxillary power field and transdimensional energetic resonance coordinator array. " Unsheathing the blade with a whisper of metal, he grounds the scabbard and holds the weapon up for Zeth to examine. "Blade has been reworked by nanolathing for phase-shifted structural layering to improve tensile and compressive strength, also fractal serrations on the cutting edge, capable of passively disrupting 60% of energetic interactions maintaining integrity of solid matter and coherent energy constructs with a single pass. With active application of Immaterial energy and disruptor field, disruption ratio rises to 99.999% before accounting for specific and committed defensive countermeasures." Sheathing Ryugamaru, he draws Purgatory with a deep bow to the venerable blade and likewise holds it up for Zeth to examine. "Heresy-era Astartes force weapon, custom heirloom design. Designation 'Purgatory'. I regret to say that I have only recently come into possession of this weapon and have yet to determine its full specifications and operating parameters. All I can tell you is that it is a very simple weapon with no auxillary power field, yet more powerful and efficient than any I have ever handled, with no detectable psychic bleed and a cutting power that exceeds by far even my own sword's with all its enhancements."
Vulpin- The inqusitor thought for a moment. "I shall follow your orders then and begin investigation with the planet team to this planet." The inqusitor could see that the Chaplain was quite protective of information quite a smart thing For knowledge had power and it needed to be guarded well. The inquisitor wen't to the armory soon finding his old force sword and bolt pistol deciding to he may need to need some extra ammunition he took a kraken and witch rounds for in the aid of battling other psykers that may could lurk on the surface he did remember something of the thousand sons being mention if they were hear likely a sorcerer was with them. Grabbing a few grenades he decided a krak, Incendiary and 1 smoke and frak would be needed and then headed to meet the rest of the team. Volorox- Volorox headed to the armory already he knew what he may need he grabbed two kraks, one plasma and one melta bomb In case of heavy armor they may find on the moon and grabbing one kraken and one witch clip of special ammunition. He then wen't to the storm bird to regroup with the others.
