A slightly smaller Mess

Charles: if he is the one, you're safe. He's powerful. I'm stronger.

OOC: And Rob can kill everyone through pure proximity!

Jax: "we managed to deal with him before."

Charles: you won't need to. Anyway...you two leave the bridge a moment. I'm curious now. I'm going to contact him, find out. Don't want him figuring out you're here.

*They leave*

Charles: +Laurence. Sitrep?+

Byrne: +Laurence is currently assisting the navigator, the emergency jump is taking a toll.+

Charles: +right. Tell him to contact me the moment he is able.+

Byrne: +I will sir.+

+My thanks+
*I guess...skip?*

*TIME SKIP*

*Vox call, beep beep*

+Laurence?+

*a groggy sounding laurence replies* +Yes, what is it..?+

+Sitrep?+

+Navigator nearly died, managed to hold him together.+

Charles: +good man.+

Laurence: +That it?+

+One other thing...I was leafing through some of my old reports and found possible mention of you, wanted to clarify+

+Go on.+

+*brief description of jax and serah without name of them* being pursued by an acolyte who matches your description. Sound familiar?+

OOC: *Whistles innocently*

Laurence *voice perks up* +Vvvvery familiar. My first assignment in fact.+

+Is that so?+

+Yes... Never did catch them. I got called off after a year. Slippery bastards.+

+Was just curious because that case got passed by my desk recently+

+Did someone finally pin them down? Dangerous pair those two.+

+Remind me, what were their charges?+

OOC: Am I the only person who wants Charles to say "Haha...funny story....I'm sorta kinda dating their daughter"

OOC SH

OOC: It would be amusing

+Desertion, consorting with the dark powers, corruption, unconfirmed reports of daemonic possession, observed instances of khornate rage, Undermining the authority of multiple world governments, inciting rebellion, consorting with xenos, Breaking oaths to the eclesiarchy, desecration of a cathedral *deep breath* assassination of a planetary governor, over one hundred deaths of inquisition personnel, last i checked, that number will have gone up.+

OOC: That'd go down well

OOC: It would be great! Plus there's also: "You know those pirates out near *wherever Max n Akira are*...That's their other daughter. I hired both her and her husband as Privateers

+Hm. Anyway I thought I'd let you know incase it was you, which indeed it was, that the case has been resolved. Exonerated of all charges, on the authority of Inquisitor lord Hector Rex.+

+Exonerated?... *speechless silence*+

+Right. Lord hector's decision seemed rather adamant.+

+The man must have been corrupted. I'll start an investigation as soon as we're done here.+

+Not a good idea, laurence. This is Hector Rex we're talking about. The man who slew a daemon lord.+

+If he has fallen, all the more reason to find out.+

+Rex? Fallen? Surely you jest. The man is auditorii imperator!+

+I point you to Goge Vandire as my case study. And Pardoning a known heretic, with proof of their crimes might i add, is not the act of a loyal inquisitor.+

Charles: +says the man with a genestealer hybrid on his ship...oh thats right you didn't tell me about him yet. Don't worry, I actually approve completely.+

+How the... read one of my men's minds did we? However, Xenos are one thing, heretics, another.+ *HYPOCRISY INTENSIFIES*

+some would say consorting with xenos is heresy. People who live in glass houses, laurence+

+I would say being possessed by a daemon, and toppling world governments outshines a single xeno... okay i've had dealings with more xenos than that, but that is besides the point.+

+you are aware of the exorcist chapter?+

+I am aware of their ritual, however, it is somewhat different to bearing one for decades.+

Charles:+ a man can be freed from possession however. This proves such. +

+True, but for so long, the scars of corruption will be irreparable.+

+I think lord hector would know more about that than the two of us combined.+

+...He is of the malleus. He has dedicated his life to the study of daemons. I to the study of corrupted humans.+
