Xander Morhaime:
Halsted and Silharrion arrived eventually as well. The eldar seemed awfully pleased with himself for some reason, while the guardsman's robes had several tears on the back, as well as a large dark stain over it. And bits of red showing through the tears.
"No more fething undercover jobs. Or at least none where the cover isn't allowed to wear armour and carry a proper gun," he stated, closing the door after them. "Well, I see the rest of you are back in one piece as well, and... Throne, what's that? We're collecting xenos or something?" he asked, pointing at the newly acquired Eldar.
Not feeling in the mood to argue, though, he moved over to his cot and sat down heavily. "I'm going to need someone's help here," he said, pulling off the top of his disguise and pointing at his back, where bandages made out of red cloth were stained a much darker red over his back. "Can't quite reach back there myself to clean it up," he added by way of explanation.
"Well, don't just stand there looking smug, show off what we managed to lift from the place," he added, glancing in Silharrion's direction.
Malek Deneith:
- Well since you two weren't present for my little chit-chat with Marcus I'll just pass two most important details: It looks like we're in deep shit, and I don't think we can trust even the tech-priests... - Laz cuts in - The details, along with explanation where did "she" come can wait until the end - first let's see what you got, and then let's hear what our priest learned in the library - he turns to Marcus - I know what you've read there hit you hard - I won't make you go into details, just tell us what you think we should know.
Lazerus then turns back and waits to see what Silhar is going to show.
Marcus Constantine:
Marcus approached Halsted
"I am no medic, I would probably only do more harm"
He turned to the others
"Let me just tell you what I managed to find out in The Great Library. I read quickly some books there. The ones that dealt with Chaos cults actually mentioned more about their rituals and bloodbaths instead the cult itself. So my information is really scarce. There is the Brotherhood of the Golden Snake. Very dangerous, since of the Administratum members decided to join the foul cult. Unfortunately, some of the members of this... Snake clan managed to escape the purging flames of emperor."
Marcus paused for a second
"The second cult is the Nine Crows. I cannot tell much about it either. Their hiding place (whatever or wherever it was, the tome did not mention a thing) was... blown into pieces by some unknown force. They are responsible for kidnapping nine people and sacrificing them foul Chaos Gods. Resemblance to the latest events is remarkable..."
Passionario:
Pass examines Halsted's injuries and mutters something that would making even an Ogryn blush. With a frown on her face, she draws a deck of Emperor's Tarot (which has clearly seen better days) from an underarm pocket of her bodyglove, quickly flips through the top seven cards, nods to herself, and traces the bloodied bandages with her finger. Within seconds, the guardsman's pain fades to a dull and remote ache, as his wounds are instantly closed by the psyker's unnatural power.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)[OOC: That was an Invocation skill roll, followed by an application of the Healer psychic power. While I don't have the book at hand at the moment, 17 should be more than enough to beat the threshold.
Silhar:
"Yeah, we've got something that you would find handy for some reasons.", said the Eldar stepping into the room. There was a slight grin on his proud face. From between the robes he pulled out a tome and passed it to Lazerus.
"This... This is the Magos Alluminas's diary. May contain some vital information. I had no time to take care of it, yet. Also, we have found some unusual las weapon there. Why would Magos leave his place and not take his firearms with him ? Tobias, would you... ?", he finished his speech with a question, looking at the guardsman and waiting until he recovers and passes someone the gun he mentioned.
He came upon his bed and put off those tatty robes, revealing slightly ragged blue-yellow clothes... And a collar. Also, a bunch of grenades he unattached and put on the table, next to some little vial with Mechanicus symbol.
"Snakes. Crows. And to clue where to find any of those barbaric critters. Oh my head...". he whispered, sitting. You notice Silharriel's face is now even more pale than ever.
"And, Asuryan, may I be damned, who is SHE ?", he asked, a bit shocked, noticing another Eldar in the room. "Your another slave, I suppose ? How ? Why ? For what ?"
Gods, they are going to collect the whole Craftworld in here, are they not ?..., thought the Alien, a bit frightened and maybe slightly unpalatable. He lied down, placing his robes under his head and closed his eyes with a soft sigh of disappointment.
