The Cost Of Freedom

your turn

"I have good reason"

"Doesn't look like you told her. So what is this good reason?"

"I can't say"

"I took a oath of secrecy, as did my men; and I, nor they will break that oath"

"Then don't make me give Dante a call and pull rank on him. I will if I have to, I'm a curious man."

"I can't tell you, but I can show you"

"I'm listening. well watching but you get the idea."
OOC is the black rage and/or red thirst involved?

ooc because there was no chaos at the founding of the order in fact the canonesses were 10-12 years of age at the time

Ooc: no.

"It's buried under the chapel floor, covered over during the heresy... if the information we found is correct, their is still something down there... something I can't talk about"

OOC chaos incursion aint impossible azrok
just unlikely

IC "....you may have the wrong cathederal, this one wasn't there in the heresy. You likely mean the old cathederal, the one the tau tore down when they originally took this world."

"I'm not saying the cathedral was built then, I'm saying it was built over far after that"

"Ah. Well perhaps there was a better way around it than 'I need to blow a hole in the cathederal dedicated to your saint and mother, and can't tell you why'."

"I know it sounds heartless, but I'm pressed for time"

"No I understand, but on this world the only being revered more than their saint is the emperor himself."

"Doesn't seem like it"

"Anyway, perhaps another way? perhaps tell them what you have told me? with my backing, and an apology, since hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, you can actually get what you want?"

"You expect me to apologise for doing the emperor's work?"

"I didn't say you had to be sincere about it."

"Time is not on my side, if we don't get there first, who knows who will"

"Then go in, tell her what you told me, apologize for being rude to her before, whether you actually mean it or not, and you've got a better chance than you do now without making any enemies."

julliet walks up to ilea
julliet:(sarcastically) well that went well

Ilea: quite. the nerve of him.

"damn astartes I always knew they were assholes acting as if they are perfect I mean if they were smart they could just dig under it then we can make it into a basement but nooooo blow up the church and then they would act like they are not being heretics "

"That's out of line juliet"

"sorry canoness I just don't like them but to get off topic where was your mother buried I wish to pay my respects"

"Beneath the statue"

"i swear if they desecrate her grave I will die before they can because she treated me like one of you before she died and I wish to protect you your sister and her even in death. but you and your sister have always been my family and im honored to be your protectors

OOC: .......that took a few minutes of me reading over and over before I realised what you meant

"Your zealotry is appreciated but not needed, trust me."

"im saying how i truly feel sister"

"I know."

"i just don't want them to ruin her body when she already did her job"

OOC: has one not heard of decomposition?

OOC i think she means desecrate
cause it's all holy n shit

OOC: ohh, well if she's a saint, don't they have her Skelton in a box to use for holy shit?...and closing warp portals

well she's only been dead for about fifty years in this case

OOC: ohh

ja
all is explained in the first post of this topic

The marine hears a small blip in his vox bead.

+ look.. don't ask how we found out this frequency or what you are asking about... but asking them is out of the question. where abouts do you need blowing... i have someone in the cathedral capable of doing it now...+

Serbius answers.
+the sergeant isn't responding... I fear he's been taken hostage along with my brothers.
Can I trust you guardsman?+

at which point the tau battlefleet arrives in orbit, blowing a massive hole in the defense fleet as hundreds of dropships are sent down to the planet below...

Ooc:oh dear

meanwhile

a certain figure watches the marine speak, listening into his communications

Ooc: oh really.

The marine feels he's being watched, raising his bolter.

he sees nothing

He relies on his other senses, listening out for the smallest step, the softest breathing
Even smell would be carried over.

no breathing is heard
smell and appearance are masked by his stealth gear

+I'm being watched, going to radio silence+ he whispers.
