Imperial Guard Plot

"Oh, then I'll just follow you."

"right...lets get back to the sentinels"

"Oh, I am Bran."
He followed the man closely.

"Gaius." *he and his squad get back to the sentinels*

"Ohh these Machine spirits are happy indeed."

they mount up

Ooc: sorry about that, I lost connection and couldn't 're establish for some reason.


The sister looks to the guardsmen.
"Am I to walk?"

Gaius: no, just hang onto the hangles on the side, unless you wanna sit on someone's lap *he chuckles*

She looks at him blankly.
"That won't be necessary, I'll just hang on I think" she nods respectively.

Gaius: alright, hop on *lowers the sentinel*

She grabs a hand rail, and perches herself on the side, the sentinel taking the weight of the power armour with a whine.

it lifts again before the squad moves off, headed back to the chapel

"So my sister's are all dead?" She says calmly.

Gaius: I don't know... we rushed off after you before they could determine it.

She nods grimly.
"May I request that I be taken back to loyal imperial territory when this is done?"

Gaius: that's up to the captain but I'm sure he'll be okay with that

"I hope so guardsman, these woods are no longer safe for us"

he takes her up to the chapel door and lowers the sentinel for her

OOC: WELLLL I see falling asleep is a bad idea because I just got like 100 notifications from this plot

GG GUYS

GG

OOC: actually, a hundred posts is nothing for us... but you can "stop watching this topic" and you wont get any more notifications

OOC Done so

She heads inside the chapel, head low in respect.

the guardsmen inside salute her. the dead sisters have been gathered together respectfully, their eyes closed, their hands posed into the symbol of the aquila

She goes around each of the bodies, chanting litanies of faith with a hushed voice. She takes off they're prayer beads, each bead a symbol of faith, and lies them in the centre.
"This place must be purged, you will need to stand back"
She goes to the alter and removes a arcane flamer from underneath, it's polished surface beaming with perfect sense.

Arminius: as you wish ma'am

She ignites the flamer, a fountain of heat washes over the chapel, Orange turning to yellow under the heat.

the guardsmen are stood out of the way, watching

"May you go to the emperor's light in peace, sisters" the chapel begins to collapse under the heat.

Arminius is stood by her side

Arminius is stood by her side

She walks back, wiping her eyes.
"It is done, we should leave now"

Arminius: *puts a hand on her shoulder* I'm sorry for your loss sister

"I don't need your sympathy, like I said... we should leave"

Arminius: *nods* we called in a dropship to get you back to base.

The sister nods and places on her helmet.

Arminius: and for what it's worth, I'm glad you made it out okay

"It's a shame that I survived, I am but a initiate; the others were much more worthy of life than myself"

Arminius: no. It was the will of the emperor that you survived. Take solace in that thought, it may help

"I... thank you, your words speak truth, if I lived, then I must have a greater purpose"

Arminius: by the emperor's will Ma'am. and I swear the heretics will burn for this sacrilege

She smiles.
"Your too kind, it could get you killed"

Arminius: it hasn't yet ma'am

"Thats clear" she looks to the sky.
"This dropship, what class?"

"Vendetta. Avenger strike fighter escort."

"Sounds fast"

he nods and points as the three craft enter view overhead

"Are you coming?"

"We'll make our way back in the sentinels. can't leave 'em behind can we? we'll catch up with you when we get there"

"It was a pleasure to meet you, and I look forward to our next encounter" she gives him a hug.

Surprised he hugs back
"No problem ma'am."

"You saved my life, so I am in your debt"
