The Cost Of Freedom

"This place is nothing but a front"

"What is that supposed to mean?" she says with rage in her voice

"What is that supposed to mean?" she says with rage in her voice

"Your presence here is to hide a threat of immense power"

"Do you see that statue astartes?" *points behind him*

The astartes turns.

he sees a statue of an angelic female warrior, clad in a suit of power armour, a power blade held aloft above her head, her hair flowing in the wind
"That is Belliana, Former governor of this world, named saint by the ecclesiarchy and the master of sanctity of the ultramarines chapter. This cathederal has been built upon the spot she died in battle exactly fifty years ago, and I should point she was my mother! This place is the most sacred upon this entire world, and should you desecrate it or speak ill of our saint again, you will earn the ire of every citizen on this world, do you understand?!"

"As much as I wanted to be civil, I'm affrad this matter is out of your hands; we do what we do, not for our own power, but for the protection of this world, and the imperium as a whole. I don't care for your personal problems, If you try and stop us, you Damn yourself and your planet to heresy"

OOC: Quickly ollie! You can punch them and turn their faces into mulch!

"Why do you not simply explain yourself astartes? Right now my sister and I are the highest authorities on this world."

"Not anymore, as much as I didnt want to do this; you leave me no choice"
+brothers, head for the cathedral+

the sororitas aim their bolters at the astartes

"You will regret this, stand down" orders the sergeant

same with julliet

"Defying us is defying the emperor" he says, subduing a anger within himself.

a voice comes fromt he doorway
"EVERYONE CALM DOWN OR YOU WILL ALL REGRET IT!"

ooc dont tell me its warp fuckery theyre searching for because we already have tau on the way

OOC course not

OOC: >

More than just the previous tau aswell

OOC: sup?

The sky

PRAISE THE SKY GODS!

OOC: okay...

YOUR NOT PRAISING! *SHanks*

*counter shank*

praise the sun

NO! COUNTER SHANKING!

MY..ONLY...WE-E-AKNESS...

The sergeant turns to face the doorway.

he sees a man clad in lightweight non astartes power armour, a needle pistol in one hand, a force sword in the other. On his head is a hat very similar to a commissar's and on his chin a beard that any space wolf would be envious of. upon his chest the symbol of the inquisiton.

"You have breached the sisters rules of engagement, none who enter can be armed, so that pistol of yours needs to go"

"Afraid not, my authority outranks theirs I'm afraid. I am Boren, Lord Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos."

"Good to meet you inquisitor, I was just leaving"

"It looked like you were about to be gunned down to me. Perhaps I can de-fuse the situation?"

The marine laughs.
"No need inquisitor, even if they somehow did, they would all be sentenced to death for heresy; which they seemed very keen on doing" he says, shrugging his shoulders.
He puts on his helmet, the seals clasping together as he moves past the inquisitor.
"Good day" he says with a muffled tone.

he puts a hand on the marine's shoulder as he attempts to walk past, preventing him from leaving
"Come now, it is clear you require aid to acheive your goal here peacefully. Allow me to walk with you a while, and perhaps i can help you"

The marine reaches for the inquisitors arm, the astartes gauntlet wrapping around it like it were a child.
He mearly looks at him for a moment, the emerald eyes of the marines helmet showing no emotion, only a cold, unfeeling nature of a angel of death.
The inquisitor knows the marine could kill him in a instant, a sudden twist, a single punch to the head and it would be over before he could blink.

But the astartes mearly lowers his arm, removing it from his shoulder plate.
"If you insist"

he smiles
"Good. Hopefully we can make this work out for all, and quickly, for there is a tau battlefleet merely a day away from this world, which is why I am here."

"We are here for our own agenda, we will leave as soon as it is completed"

"You will not aid with the defense?"

"Only when our agenda is completed and secured, then I can help you"

"Ah good. So tell me, what is your name astartes?"

"Lorenz, sergeant"

"It is an honor Sergeant Lorenz"

"Not everyone feels the same way"

"I noticed"

"I imagine you want something from me"

"I want to know what you did to piss off the sororitas so much, and why you did it"

"I need to make a hole in their cathedral floor"

"aaaand now I see why the canoness was so enraged, along with the other sororitas. Without a good reason, they see that as heresy. It doesn't help that Saint Belliana is the person their order is named after."
