A slightly smaller Mess

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

+Exactly. Those things overlap, quite a significant amount.+

+I think i know the issues of human corruption charles. There is no method to fully purge its influence.+

+I think he knows better, Laurence. You're still just an acolyte, I'm ordo xenos. He's a damn inquisitor lord of such high caliber that, again, he's Auditorii Imperator+

+I am not an inquisitor, because my inquisitor died just after recommending me to the post.+

Charles:+The point still stands, Laurence+

Laurence: +No matter the rank, discrepancies must be investigated.+

+The case is closed, laurence. Leave it at that.+

+No. Something smells awry with this charles.+

+And you risk your own damnation by investigating rex.+

+And i risk the damnation of the imperium if i don't+

+Over those two? Really?+

+What happened to helping against abaddon?+

+Most definitely. They are without doubt the most dangerous subversives i have ever hunted, Because they believe they are doing good. Misguided benevolence is the most dangerous motivation in the galaxy. And By, After this, i mean after this damned crusade has been dealt with. However I will be diverting my spare time to reopening their case.+

+I think you're blowing it out of proportion.+

+Am i? Over one hundred inquisitorial agents Charles, dead at their hands.+

+Charles is that all? *eyeroll* Take my advice laurence. Leave this be. The barbarians are at the gate, and you think they're that dangerous? The ork messiah is on the rise, tyranids on all sides, Cadia is fallen, and you think they're truly worthy of your time+

+The enemy within is my ordo's purpose, charles. For the imperium to fight these threats she must be secure within.+

+Now is not the time and you know it.+

+You are oddly invested in my not pursuing this Charles. What are you not telling me.+

+Nothing. I'm making sure you don't waste yourself when you're needed elsewhere. Vitally.+

+I won't shirk my duties here, but once this is done, there are a great many matters for me to attend to, all vital, this being one of them.+

+...very well. If you choose to ignore my advice, be it on your head.+

+You don't know those two charles. They're more dangerous than you could know.+

+They're not even a blip on our radar all things considered right now laurence. Goodbye.+ *hangs up*

OOC: So does Laurence know about Akira having survived?

Laurence: *Sits down in his chair, rubbing his temples* "Damned ordo xenos, never look inside."

OOC: he doesn't know they have kids, its not on any inqusitorial records, Akira is listed as "Deceased relative of hera immalia, parentage unknown. Conjectual link to Known pirate Akira Erentillo. Unconfirmed"

Charles also sighs
"I'm gonna owe rex bad for this..." *one offscreen talk with rex later*

Jax: *Returns after the call.* "So... is it him?"

Charles: yes...but I do have some good news. *nearby terminal is printing a thing*

jax: "Throne damn it. he doesn't know we're still alive does he?"

Charles: no. But just incase, I just did something that puts me in another man's debt considerably. *gets printed thing and hands the two sheets to jax* By the authority of a friend of mine, Lord Inquisitor Hector Rex of the ordo Malleus, Auditorii Imperator, bearer of the grimoire of true names and savoir of Vraks, you are both hereby exonerated of all charges placed against you. The case is closed, permanently, and the penalty for re-opening it is execution, effective immediately.

OOC: Okay

Jax: "Holy shit." *stares blankly at the page* "You..."

Charles: *trademark grin*

Jax: *Still just staring at the page.*

*there's a second one for serah*
Charles: You alright?

Jax: "We've been running for so long..."

Charles: take your time. It's alright.

Jax: *absent mindedly scratches the beard on the side of his face with his augmetic.* "Noones coming from us anymore... Besides chaos... and the necrons... and the dark eldar..." *the sobering thoughts of enemies still out there snaps him out of it.*

Charles is still grinning

jax: "well, one less thing to run from eh?"

Charles: glad you're happy with it. Luckily Rex shouldn't come chasing after the favour I now owe him any time soon, he's rather busy.

Jax: "Laurence won't break that ruling, will he?"

Charles: if he does, he'll be a heretic himself.

Jax: "he always hounded us regardless of the cost."

Charles: then i'd be completely justified in preventing him, no matter how I have to do it.

Jax: "Inquisition is brutal eh? Kill a college for doing his job..."

Charles: Hopefully it won't come to that.

Hera: *Walks onto the bridge, looking like she just got up.* "Why the long faces?"

Charles: Turns out Laurence is one of the acolytes who's been chasing your parents. Hopefully I've been able to solve that problem.
