Silhar:
"So be it.", there was a silent, almost whispering voice speaking.
"Let her rest for a while, then. If I asked her more now, she would eventually collapse. And then our investigation would meet a dead end, I'm afraid.", recommended Silharriel. "We, the Eldar, are very fragile. And she took very much on herself. But since we are not that in haste, you are right, Madame Pass should conserve her powers on later use. Now, I beg you, if I may only for an hour...", explained, agreed and added the Xeno, smiling faintly. And then, he ceased to withstand the fatigue and fell asleep. He still looked unhealthy.
It can be seen that the other Eldar sleeps already.
After about an hour or two, Silharriel gets up and proceeds with an interrogation.
Xander Morhaime:
"Well, while he's sleeping, we can look to the task of finding out what we can from the magos' diary," Halsted said, then pointed at the book the Eldar had set down. "Only one problem with it," he added, prodding the lock on the tome with the muzzle of the newly acquired laspistol.
"I don't suppose any of you would be willing to try opening it?"
Malek Deneith:
- A lock you say? Let me give it a try - had some experience with these lately
Spoiler (click to show/hide)http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2297047/ - if that doesn't open it up, we'll have to dig out explosives :P
Xander Morhaime:
Halsted took the book with a light nod and settled back to read while they had some downtime...
It was some time later that he put it down and shook his head. "Well, that was an interesting bit of reading. Apparently his main field of expertise was anti-xenos airborne chemical agents... human-friendly nerve gas, in other words," the guardsman said with a smile. He had a thing for all weapons chemical, it was something you grew up with on Teledahn. "The laspistol we found was, if I'm reading this right, commissioned by a Skitarii captain. I think our authority trumps his, but we'll worry about it if he comes knocking to collect it personally, I say. Also, our missing magos was working closely with an Alpha Brotherhood, whoever they might be. Another thing, he apparently started seeing some trouble with the Machine Spirits about... a month ago," he continued, flipping occasionally between pages. "And in more recent news, the last entry coincides with the date of disappearance we were given - says here his presence was requested at... Alba Longa, whatever that is. I'm willing to wager the servo-skull would get us there if we asked properly. Oh, and one last thing, let's try not using hotshot packs in that new pistol, if we find any. If it's the same one the captain wanted, it might be prone to blowing up."
Silhar:
While Halsted was explaining what he managed to dig into, Silharriel already got up and had a chat with their prisoner, which took around a quarter, not more. For a while they seemed to be arguing, but everything eventually finished with a laughter, or a faint smile at least. Afterwards the woman fell again into sleep, and Silharriel came in closer to hear bits of Tobias' speech.
"Ahem.", he grunted when Halsted already finished speaking. "Unfortunately, our new guest does not know too much. The only interesting thing I managed to get out of her was that there is something attracting our kith and kin to this place. There were quite a few of them visiting Magna Delta in a year period.
Her name is Elirenn, she is an Outcast like me. She came here in companion of two others, which got shoot, probably by Skitarii or other well - equipped and well - trained force. She managed to escape, but then those scumbags got her. She did not understand anything out of questioning by those foul ones, so we shall have to pay them a visit, no ?", he explained.
