Xander Morhaime:
"Laz, you take those grenades... I'll already be loaded down a bit. They look like gas ones far as I can tell, so don't use them too hastily. Now, if we're going in with a bang, I suppose I'd best get the gear sorted..."

With those words, the guardsman moved over to the locker where he'd stashed the gear he couldn't take with him on the undercover task. He began laying out the items on his cot, checking each one over to see if they were in order. A lasrifle with three spare charge packs - two moved slightly aside. A belt of grenades, 7 in all, of varying types. Three boxes of shotgun shells, 24 rounds in each, save the one training round expended earlier. Standard-issue flak armour. The shells he handed to the Eldar, while two frag grenades and two lasrifle charge packs were passed to Laz. The laspistol found in the Magos' quarters was also passed to the Eldar.

"You've got your main weapon and a melee fallback, here's a sidearm to go with it," he told Silharrion, then turned to Laz. "And ammunition and spare grenades for you. Try not to waste them. Now, a rough plan of assault would be good to have. Is there anything you recall about the place? Defences, personnel, access routes? Size, layout of the place, likely security measures?" he listed off his questions in a calm, detached manner as he pulled on his own armour and finally strapped the gas-mask loosely around his neck, ready to be quickly pulled on if the need arose.

Malek Deneith:
- Sadly I can't give you too much information. The place I was held in is about twoo or three hours of walk from here. There were no guards outside when I left, neither I saw any static defenses. The entry room was rather small, and had enough of cover for me to sneak through two men patrolling there without problem. From this room there is a corridor leading to cross-section - back then it had three guards. The corridors lead: left - to my cell, there might have been other ones too, didn't stay to check. Right led to the torture chamber. And the one dirrectly opposite of entry leads to some room in which Du Pont was talking. I wasn't really in position to explore the place further, so there might be more to it. As for personnel - judging by how many people I saw when they captured me I'd be guessing we will face at least fifteen to twenty men, armed with basic las weaponry mostly plus Du Pont and whoever he was talking with. I just hope I'm not underestimating them. - Laz relied what he could while replacing the mag in the rifle (and stocking the unreliable one just in cease) and all the other stuff he was given.

Silhar:
"We outnumber them, then.", grinned Silharriel, arming himself with weapons provided. He checked if his laspistol is in top condition, then hid it behind the belt, under his cape, along with makeshift shovel-axe. He caught a handful of shotgun shells and put them inside the pocket - first checking if it has no hole. He fastened every belt as tightly as he could, then hanged the shotgun on his arm.

"Are we going for total carnage or shall we be trying to capture Du Pont and get out as soon as possible ? I would myself go for a recon first, to check if Du Pont has any other way to escape. I know he has."

Malek Deneith:
- We need to recover my gear if it's only due to Rosette. And I wan't Du Pont alive as I feel he might be valuable source of information. If we manage to get the people he was talking back then, assuming we identify them, it's good also. The grunt's I don't care for, but we're not there for sake of slaughter. We kick in, get our stuff then we decide: If they surrender we let them live. If not the decision will have to be based on wheter or not we will be to escape them without gunning them down to a man, and how much of a problem they will seem to pose if we leave them behind us.

Xander Morhaime:
"We should also take some steps to appropriate more equipment and funds so long as we're there. More body armour, perhaps some weapons... and items which can easily be sold off for a quick throne or ten," Halsted pointed out. "Anyway, plan... if they know you've escaped by now, they may well be expecting retaliation. External guards are a maybe, but increased security on the inside is all but assured. I am assuming they won't try shooting at us still out on the street, but once inside we'll be fair game. Looks like we'll have to make things up as we go along, then..."

The guardsman sighed, then shook his head. "My mask for a proper map... ah well. We'll look around at least briefly for an alternative accessway. Failing that, we go in the way you got out, and try to neutralise any guards quickly before an alarm is raised. Save grenades and slugthrowers for when they're already aware of our presence. We'll also need all the fire support we can get here. Psyker, your healing skills may be invaluable, especially if we overdo it on restraining this DuPont person. Priest... well, you've got a gun and I assume you know how to use it. We won't call on you to charge in the van, but I would prefer you to come. If only to help retrieve possibly useful supplies after the fact. Myself and Laz will go on point, hopefully lasguns won't alert them too quickly. Eldar, you'll be bringing up the rear once we're in. Order of business, incapacitate key targets first, proceed with sweep of compound, loot anything not bloody well nailed down that we can sell off for extra funds later. Thoughts and suggestions?" he asked, rolling his shoulders to get his armour to settle in place, glancing around at the others.
