"What is it, Shas'el?"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 00:34

Mcavoy: oh?

"I'm here on behalf of Khase of Adyghan. We have learned of the existence of an unauthorised Tau outpost on our planet, which its existence was against the treaties between Tau Empire and Khase of Adyghan. We have peacefully agreed on the removal of the outpost and safe deportation of its personnel. Ambassador here will approve my words."

"Yes."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 00:59

Ir'Pras: "I do."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:12

Shas'O:...who ordered the outpost's construction?

Mcavoy: Methinks it best if I accompany you.

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:25

*He looks at Ir'Pras in silence*

"To where, if I may ask?'

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:29

"Aun'O Ko'gri"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:33

Shas'o:...what has been done with the personell?

Mcavoy: I was under the impression I was to help you personally?

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:37

"All here, unharmed."

"Of course, but I'm guessing that you aren't planning to enter manholes."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:40

Shas'O: I want them all released to me. Immediatly.

Mcavoy: Not in person no.

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:44

"This is what we have come here for. The entire personnel of the outpost but Por'Vre Ir'Pras has already disembarked the ship. And I am intending to surrender her as well if you ensure our safe departure."

"Wonderful. May I ask a question, to both of you, Lady Freide, Inquisitor Mcavoy? Are any of you psykers?"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:46

Shas'O: granted.

Mcavoy: I am.

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:50

"Do you give your word?"

"Guessed so... *sighs* You won't like our headquarters. But we can surely sort it out for you. Lady Freide, I guess you won't be coming?"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:51

Shas'O: I do.

Freide: I have my own work to do.

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 01:57

"She's free to walk away now." *Turning to the Ambassador* "Take care, Por'Vre Ir'Pras."

*He gives her a brief look, then gestures the Valkyrie to Mcavoy* "Evening, Lady Freide. Now if you please, Inquisitor, sooner we begin, the better."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 15:47

The shas'o looks at her

Mcavoy follows

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 15:59

*She hangs her head in shame.* "Thank you, Gue'la."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:01

"Shas'El, I leave this in your charge. Por'vre, follow me."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:09

Shas'El: "Of course Shas'O." *He begins organising returning equipment to its rightful owner. Fire warriors sighing with relief as they lay eyes on their prised equipment again*

*She follows him*

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:11

*once out of the room*
"Are you alright?"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:13

"Fine. They treated us well."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:14

"What happened Ir'Pras?"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:40

"They claimed our outpost was unlawful. Shas'Vre Mon'Shash was prepared to defend to the last, but... *she sighs* They had an orbital weapon. They fired a warning shot, And made it quite clear that we were outclassed."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:41

"...They fired an orbital weapon at you?"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:46

"Yes."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 16:47

"...I'll do what I can. Sort this out."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 17:04

"Thankyou shas'o..."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 17:04

"It's fine... That mission was fucked from the start, clearly"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 17:10

*Shocked by his use of language* "I... I suppose so."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 17:11

"Sorry.. I overstep myself somewhat. But clearly you held no blame in this."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 17:26

"Thankyou for the sentiment."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 17:27

"Who did you say authorized this?"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 17:27

"Aun'O Ko'gri"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 18:35

*At the meantime, the Adyghan ship Mazenekhu closes its cargo hatch and prepares to undock*

+This is Mazenekhu of Adyghan Navy, we are requesting permission to undock+

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 18:58

+Permission granted. Safe travels Gue'vesa.+

"He is an ethereal. You cannot."

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 19:01

"No... but the other ethereals should know. There has to be some level of accountability"

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 19:08

*The ship undocks and enters the warp*

*They hop into the Valkyrie and fly away, to a Twilight Eagles HQ, deep under the ground, Mcavoy feels the presence of null fields, nulling out several sections of the HQ. They go through various corridors, heavily defended and reach a null field free hall, where a workstation has been established only for Mcavoy, along with other items that would he need*

Subject: Re: Cost of Loyalty and Independence 2017-03-08, 19:10

Mcavoy:...where exactly did you get null fields?
