Satoshi shrugged; he'll do it after. With nothing else to add, waited for everyone else to be ready so they can get the show on the road. All of his gear were on him (he hadn't had the chance to make himself home yet) and with Talon on his shoulder he was ready to rock to roll!
Draconion's brow furrows as he brings the ritual to a most unsatisfactory conclusion. Bowing in thanks to Tempestus, he glances over his shoulder at his familiar, sharing a look of understanding and favouring the little creature with a nod before flipping over his tome to write down his observations for the record. He then turns to address Feron and Marmaroth together. "Commanders, initial psychic reconaissance has yielded little conclusive data. Population survey of Planet Ellander reveals sparse and purely human population of unknown allegiance, so far as is observable. Information on nature and location of the Cry of Helios remains obscure - prognosticator's best-guess analysis points to deliberate psychic obfuscation on the part of unknown parties. Moon Caerne displays significant psychic residue of mass mortality, though unclear as to whether this was due to starship lithobraking or other event. Some evidence of extant local life, though no human-normal signatures detected. Report concludes."
"Exactly. The moon team will be furthest away from the possible reinforcements in case they need it. As for deployment, I'll remain here and ensure everything goes according the plan and also provide assistance in case some of you run into trouble. Another reason is that I don't want to leave the Hulk unattended and thus evade any possible nasty surprises."
<Feron> "Precisely why I asked. Very well then Moon Team will be composed as follows: Ixtab Stygies, Melgator Zeth, Draconion, Dorallius, Sister Renate, Brother Volorox and myself with brother Gaius piloting the Storm Bird so that we're in decent shape. Until we know if the atmosphere is friendly enough for the rest we won't be pressing our luck with their lives. " Stopping a moment to check over who was left the Salamander ground armored finger tips against his chin in a light scratch. "Everyone else that leaves you heading planet side, Veritas will have immediate command down there, if you split up I would suggest Amraphel for secondary command. If things get heavy we can send the Land Raider down along with Strauss and a detachment of our current forces but specifics will be best left to Marmaroth. Any objections or concerns?"
Satoshi shook his head, one of his foot started tapping from an eagerness and excitement at the possibility to kill traitors in the near future.
Temvero stood aside in the group, waiting for his part. When he was told he was to be going planetside, he nodded. "As you order, Brother Feron." With Brother Veritas in charge, he walked over and stood in salute to the dreadnought. "Brother Temvero Va'Thun reporting, brother. I shall go where you will. I am skilled in the arts of combat, although I must say I am a better marksman. I may be best deployed alongside a close-combat specialist, such as Sigismund or Brother Sato." @lord-watchman @WanderingJester
<The Apothecary> "I will land on the moon, I hope to gather information from the vegetation there, will act on my own, due to special mission." His eyes darted at Marmaroth. His armor and equipment had been restored to full efficiency, which of course he was thankful for. Although everyone could see that he had a new Bolt Pistol, a master-crafted Spectris Pattern Bolt Pistol, which had a golden Apothecary symbol embed behind the barrel, on the side of the gun, obviously signalling that it belonged to him now. <The Sister> "Wherever the flame of my faith within my heart is required, I shall be." Renate Walburga Brandt bowed toward Feron regard his 'desire' to have her along with him, there was no space to argue, although she would not blindly follow his command, since after all. She was a daughter of His Eminence AND a Canoness Commander, which her armor very well represented.
<Feron> "Don't take any unnecessary risk Sirius, you're our only Apothecary so stay sharp down there for whatever you're doing. Take an escort if you must. " Feron once more withheld his own irritation, it rankled with him to have their Head Apothecary trouncing about collecting flowers but he understood the importance to a degree, a large part of him doubting it was really a mission of science at all, best have an eye out on him.
<The Apothecary> "No I am not. You forget Gaius, Brother Salamander." He said quite enthusiastic and a soft chuckle. "I am in no need of an Escort. Besides, I would endanger them more than myself. You must trust me in this, as much as you trust Marmaroth. Captain Feron. Besides... Sirius died on the Ork Krooza." It was no sarcasm in his voice, but rather his own vision of what he believed Feron has become. He was no mere Astartes anymore, but the Captain of this team, while Marmaroth acted as their Force Commander or even Chapter Master so to speak.
<Feron> "As long as he doesn't operate a scalpel or a drill like that Storm Bird. " A slight smile was returned. "As for trust I'm not standing here demanding you stay no? Simply telling you to stay sharp. " Mulling over what he had said last Feron didn't pick up entirely on the Captain thing, inwardly wrinkling his nose as he still had much to prove before it could be ascertained a worthy title. "One final thing though, you've already corrected me on what to call the Ancient, what shall I call you now if Sirius has passed? "
