Elysium - Library @Casavay | "It is an honour, not a blessing." Knightmare looked down at the visionary, hiding his distaste in the aftermath of her comment. He assumed she referred to physical eyes, considering that she already admitted to being a psyker of some sort, and briefly wondered if she was truly devoted to her aspect of Chaos to have recieved such mutations.
~~ Six hours and forty-two minutes later - Summary of past events & post-departure ~~ The Daemon Engine was not captured and instead was destroyed by using a crane and it's massive cargo to trap it before hacking it apart. The various individual pieces had been brought to the Magos who was still happy enough that it had been retrieved, even if in individual pieces. With that the Datasmith and Warpsmith (@Maleth & @Vulpas ) have earned their respect from the Magos and are allowed to use his workshop to minimal degree for their own things, however they have to share a workstation. Along with that new members have been added to the crew. A beastman and a trenchcoated human. ~~ Thanatos - Now - Briefing - Elysium Bridge ~~ "As you by now know. I seek the Seven Deadly Sins. Gems, Jewels, Chaos Emeralds or other stones of powerful kind. Each of them carrying own, unique powers when carried, but only capable of being harnessed entirely when combined with a specific crown that is required to be forged, or found - if one exists. I only know of their existence, not their position. Which is why we are here." On the massive windows above the individuals on the bridge a deep purple planet came into sight. It was magnificent, but definitely alien. "From the Maelstrom we went all the way up to the Ghoul Stars. And what you are looking at is an Eldar Exodite world. Survivors of the Fall. The cowards that ran short before they brought Slaanesh into reality and gave birth to the Eye of Terror. This world in particular I do not know the name of, but we shall call it for the sake of naming things... Thanatos Rise. A very fitting name, isn't it? Long story short. You deploy to the center of their greatest city, make for the library and get everything you can, most importantly the map to the Seven Deadly Sins. Given it's importance I assume it to be in the biggest, safest of all vaults they possess, guarded by the strongest of their Eldar. Good luck and if you return with empty hands you will have wished to rather have perished at the hand of the foul xenos. Now go." The two Bobs readied their weapons which was a Stormbolter for one and a Power Fist and Bolt Pistol for the other and went onward to the Hangar. Leaving Thanatos technically unprotected, as the rest of the crew on the bridge was busy, including the captain.

Simeon's stalker bolter was slung over his back, pressing his cloak down against the scout armor underneath. He was clutching his chainaxe by the neck of the shaft, letting it sway lightly while he listened to Thanatos' briefing. "Expect us, Lord Thanatos," he said nonchalantly. "We will retrieve your map." Then, he turned to join the Bobs along with the other raiders.
Raternle paid keen attention to the briefing, digesting what information Thanatos had given everyone. Clearly, the assembled team was going to go for a smash and grab on an Exodite world, for the map to a set of things that end up giving its owner unparalleled power... Therefore the Datasmith was of the mind of playing along with Thanatos' plan until he was in a position to take what the Astartes desired. Deciding that for now it would be more prudent to keep his ambitions hidden from the others, Raternle departed from the Bridge, his robot following him to the Hanger where he would await the team's departure to the world. Hopefully, he'd be the first to find the map given that it might elevate his standing in the group, and therefore make him privy to more information that would be useful for his own goals.
Briefing Knightmare had never fought eldar before, or at least he wasn't aware of the fact if he had. Being the Emperor's weapon of terror hadn't really provided the Night Lords with many targets beyond their own kind and since the Great War that hadn't changed. Still a library, even an eldar one, should have knowledge he could use. And fighting something new was an experience all on its own.
The prophet made sure to emphasise her limp as she moved away from the dark corner she had stood in, listening to words long spoken in her corroding brain. When Thanatos' plans had been new, she had been shocked, yes, even appalled at the crassness and brashness of his direct assault on a Xenos haven. But now? Now it only elicited the bored sigh of one who - quite literally - had seen this plan to its end many times already. Those endings that did not result in everyone's demise had become quite dull. In fact, Sarcopha hoped for some death. But fate's paths were winding. And Sarcopha not its mistress. Slowly, she walked towards her brother and protector (@matt23 ), hobbling into his shadow, her many eyes glowing with malice and a hatred her smile did not reflect.
The sounds of heavy metal pounding and grinding servos coming from an unknown source is heard echoing inside the hangar. The source of the sounds is soon identified as a Sentinel walker approaches the assembled members of the raiding team. As the Sentinel comes to a stop before them it powers down and its pilot exits from the vehicles cockpit. The pilot is tall, thin man with shaggy black hair, wearing a suit of flak armor with an autopistol at his side and a las rifle slung across back."Is this the raiding team that's going to be attacking the Exodite world?"
-Malrus & Mortimor Both the marines stayed silent listening to the briefing, Mortimor with Cerberus, and Malrus with himself looking at the plans, As they began to leave Malrus went directly to Mortimor before heading to the hanger. "Mort!" Malrus barked and grab the marines head and his helmet, Before looking to it. "Now before you start yelling Malrus I was off on a task for lord Thantos and meeting the crew, that's why I had my helmet off, I Met quite a nice brother and sister of papa Nurgle and learned a bit of the seven deadly sins, Old things they seem to be made with some Great servants of chaos, Also it needs something of a crown like object with it." Mortimor said knowing his friends temper and how he tended to to do stupid things when angered. "Really, Though during that Time I needed your help with a certain daemon engine we were sent after. Horse like won quite feisty thing was destroyed durring battle though, Both you and Cerberus would have been quite a help if you hand't turned off your helmet, Though this should fix that, He said as he handed Mort back his helm, "It now has a Secure link before you ask and you should get my message if I am in need of help while in the ground, Do not abandon me, I hear these eldar are old, and quite tricky from what I learned with the fellows of my primarch. He said before they reached the hanger. @Vanestus A thing of interest came in a sentinel walker and a guardsmen likely here to join them, As Mort got in the transport he decided to approach the pilot. "Indeed we are part of the raiding group, are you here to give us support with your walker?" He asked looking at the sentinel, "Seems to be a Mar's pattern could use a few upgrades, A reinforced cock pit for one possibly another weapon to increase damage made on large vehicles, or a auto cannon to o shred through infantry. I am warp smith Malrus and if this thing become damage in combat I will be able to assist in bringing it back from the brink. who are you pilot?" he asked looking to the pilot now.
@Vulpas "It's an honor to meet you warp smith, my name is Garth Toren and yeah I'm here to give you some support for this mission. Those upgrades sound like they'd be quite helpful, how long would it take for you to apply them?"
@Vanestus "It would likely take more time then we have before deployment likely after the mission I can begin applying weapons that will work with the sentinels systems, then Fine tuning it to work well, and letting the armor fortify. Likely after the mission I can begin these works, But I will need supplies to do so we shall see what we can acquire when we get back. A bit of pay for the work with a favor as well, nothing to much though." Malrus said with neutral tone in his voice.
