The Cost Of Freedom

they embark the valkyrie and it takes off

"Where must you go, marine?" the soldier asks.
You notice the officer also gets on with his squad.

Serbius looks down at the soldier.
"Follow the valkyrie"

"you heard the marine..."

The dropship hovers for a second, before scooting off behind the valkyrie.

before long they touch down at the capital of Bellianus

"This is it, where can we find the canoness?"

"They are in the chapel praying"

"They will have to cancel their session"

before they could get lose to the canonnesses they are stopped by juliet
"julliet: excuse me astartes but in safety of the canonnesses i must ask you to give me your weapons and officers only can talk to them"

The astartes disarm themselves immediately.

"thank you for understanding astartes but only the officer can go near the canonesses"

"I understand, brothers, wait for my return"
They nod in unison.

she leads him to the canonnesses

He stands like a god, living proof that the emperor is more than a deity or superstition.

OOC: sooo....does that mean he's wearing robes that only cover one of his manly boobs?

Ooc: how did you even make that leap?

Ilea is praying, her back to the door

OOC pretty sure the BA aren't romans

OOC: Unlike our glorious iron legion

Hail

julliet: canonness the astartes wishes to speak to you

she nods as she stands and turns towards them

The astartes removes his helm, revealing his angelic features, and piercing blue eyes.
"You have my respect" he says, smiling as a gesture of peace.

OOC: you said like a god, Zeus and Poseidon popped into my head

She returns the smile
"It has been too long since i fought alongside one of your kind astartes."

"With any luck, you won't need to again; I am here on a grave mission; a task my chapter has given my squad"

"Go on"
OOC brb dinner

"I only need your permission for one thing, the actual mission is... classified"

"Oh? then what do you need astartes?"

"We need to go through your cathedral floor"

The dropship lands also, allowing the marines to leave it. The officer inside nods, then speaks in his usual, emotionless voice.
"good luck..."

Serbius nods in thanks, moving through the street's, his huge frame dwarfing nearby civilians

"....I'm sorry what?"

julliet walks up to Tanya
"would you like to patrol the woods with me because i find it kind of peaceful"

Tanya: not quite yet, but soon

"then what shall I do?"

"Remain with me for now. Your company is comforting."

" well it would be nice just to get some fresh air"

"Honestly I don't think this is the time"

"ok I understand is there anything you want to talk about"

OOC:...and there goes my chance to introduce my soviets...

I mean

Valhalans

I mean

...

GLORY TO THE RED STAR!

Everyones equal

But I am more equal than the rest of you

"Your main cathedral, we will need to break through a section of it's floor"

"Why? That's not really something I can authorize without a good reason"

"Is our word not enough? Do you think our intentions heretical and perverse?"

"No but this is the most sacred place on this entire world."

"It should be, why do you think this cathedral is here? How long do you think it has stood?"

"This one? a mere decade I am afraid."

"A lie" he says coldly.

"it was made for there mother the saint who died for our freedom"

He shakes his head

"This place is nothing but a front"
