Marcus Constantine:
"Carry on..."
Xander Morhaime:
"I'm not about to do one bunch of heretics a favour by handing them a heretic from another group. No, I certainly do not expect them to see you again outside of our custody," Halsted explained with a shrug. "Laz, go get your kit. Priest... you make sure to write down what our new friend here says. I'm sure they have a clean data slate around here somewhere. Eldar, feel free to check if these corpses have anything useful on them, weapons and armour inclusive," the guardsman instructed, then looked to Pass. "And we'll make sure there's no funny business here..." he added, then turned once again to DuPont. "Right. You were saying?"
Gargulec:
'Thank you. Then, let me begin.'
'I- and my subordinates from Magna Brotherhood- were forwarding our cause for many, many years now. But we were lacking the pull that Divine Light Of Sollex had, so we were always the underdog, the loosing side. However... Alpha Brotherhood offered us help some time ago. Of course, only if we would plead loyalty to them. They were powerful, and it was the only to stop Sollex. So we agreed.'
He paused, likely thinking about the way to say what he wanted.
'For some time, it all seemed normal... Power struggle among Mechanicus, nothing new. But then, suddenly, we realized that our two groups are no longer distinguishable, and that the Alpha Brotherhood has dominated our leaders. From allies, we've changed into servants. And then, we were used. Month ago, I and my pack was sent to investigate a long deserted, demolished complex in the depths of the Forge. All we found was a strange, black stone with odd runes engraved onto it and enough clues to conclude that it was were a place where something foul was going on. Cult? I don't know, as I said, it was demolished using very powerful demolition charges. Anyway, we could not do anything about this. So we served. Three weeks ago, we where tasked with stupid gang wars- we had to attack and capture Sollex supporters from various gangs. Due to this, we have sprouted a gang war we just lost. And four days ago, despite the fact that we were almost wiped out by our foes, we were ordered by the very person that commandeered Alpha Brotherhood, despite not being it's *official* member, a Arch-Magos Albert Of Alba Longa to capture some xeno-biologist and deliver him to Alba Longa tower, Throne knows for what and, even worse, track down, capture and torture "until it's broken" an eldar women... And then, all of sudden, we are attacked by Skiitari, who say that our organizations no longer exists, and we are all heretics. I don't why, we were weak, but *that* weak. Only one person could have enough information to discredit us, and it was Albert, who ran both Brotherhood. But why would he want to destroy his own work? I don't know. And that's all that I know. Did I earn a good death by this?'
Marcus Constantine:
"That brings light to our cause. As for you... I do not think you deserve a death... At least now"
"I need more time to think..."
Xander Morhaime:
"For my part, I sorely would like to see you delivered into more knowledgeable hands - all this mucking about with politics is a bit much for me," Halsted said with a sigh. "However, I do not know if it will be possible to get you off-world and delivered to the hands of our superiors at the Inquisition. They at least would know what questions to ask. This is a delicate situation, and requires some consideration before we go back to shooting people."
"Our task was to determine the source of the cult activity, and eradicate it if possible. We seem to have accomplished the first part... however, I can't help but feel we should at least ascertain if an assault on this... magos Albert is at all viable."
