Halsted unpacked his entrenching tool, tossing the short shovel to Silharriel once he'd finished changing. "Long arms might get noticed under these, and I doubt we're dressed as the sort to be carrying proper weapons. I take it you'll know how to use this if it comes to it," he said, while hiding his laspistol and bayonet knife under his new outfit. The shovel looked like any other shovel, except the edge was finely sharpened - probably enough so to use it as a makeshift axe.

Grabbing the shovel, he started to laugh, confused a bit.

"Oh, now any scorpion-type chainsword can go hide. Too bad you didn't get a mono-upgrade for this piece, would strike even more fear in our foes' hearts ! Khaine damn me for this blasphemy, those always were two things I admired in you, humans - your capability of enchanting fire into a water... And your skill to make a weapon out of everything.", he sneered.

Having this said, Silharriel concealed the "axe" under the rags. "Final touch and final caress, all-in-one. Great.", he muttered to himself. "And I thought that a shotgun was primitive..."

After few hours, without knocking, Marcus returns to the room. His looks was disturbing. It looks like he hadn't slept well or was under influence of drugs. What it really was, no one knew. He just sat down on the bed and stared at the wall.

Some time later doors to the room open, and Lazerus enters. He looks quite different then how he looked going out - his previous equipment is gone, replaced with some poor sort of clothing with carapace armor strapped on it. He holds a lascarabine in one hand, and the other is used to hold someone carried over his shoulder.

- Well, it looks like I'm not the only one having a interesting day today - he commented at Marcus' looks and blank stare. He put down the person he carried: A woman. Short and lithe, with numerous bruises showing. Dark hair, grey eyes - filled with fear right now... and pointy ears.

Marcus didn't notice the appearance of Laz. He was still... trapped in the books that he read

We have found our beloved brothers that we have been searching so long for... And now all our efforts seem pointless.

Brother Gladias along with his team was sacrificed to filthy chaos gods... Their bodies were severed, cut, tear appart. What insane mind was capable of doing anything like this?

Our medics examined the bodies. Poor brothers... Not only were they killed and given as a sacrafice. Before that, probably a very long and painful ritual took place. They [followers of the cult] cut their arms and legs, cut out the whole... inside... They were still alive, that's what medics are saying, because of high percentage of cortisol in blood.

Brothers, you have not died in vein, we will...

... they dig up holes and threw the bodies...

... they sedated people, took them out of the city. As soon as the "sacrifice" arrived they began their...

... I nearly slipped when I entered the building. Floor was covered in blood, guts nailed to the wall, false and unholy signs drawn with blood...

It took Laz a moment to notice, but something were definitely wrong with the priest. Not wanting to talk - that he could understand... But not reacting to the fact that he brought another eldar with him was a bad sign. Trying to wave a hand before Marcus' eyes confirmed this.

- Frag... Wake up Marcus! - Laz came up and shook the priest and hissed again - We don't have the luxury of having you break down so get ahold of yourself Emperor damn it!..

"What, what do not you understand?" - replied Marcus immediately - "We have two potential cults on this planet, that might be responsible, Nine Crows and the Brotherhood of the Golden Snake. That is what I managed to discover in the tomes in the Great Library. Is there something really that you can not understand? Why are you shaking me?"

- Well for the start... - Lazerus started but paused hearing movement from behind - Wait a second...

A minute or two of struggling later the eldar got cuffed to the cage (though still outside) and gagged with some spare rags. Laz continues while searching for some medkit in the haitat.

- As I was trying to say, you didn't tell me that until just a moment before - when I came here you were sitting, staring blankly at the wall and mumbling something, and didn't even notice who I brought alone. As far as bad news go two cults are indeed bad news, though I can probably top that: we, as in inquisition were suspected to be here, by now we are either already exposed - mayby not in who-is-who manner, but they'll be sure that we're here soon enough, I have a strong feeling we can no longer trust the tech-priests, and I lost my stuff... or at least most of it. And the only good news is that I have a strong clue where to start searching for one of the cults. - Lazerus talked while clearing and bandaging eldar's wounds to the best of his ability then sat down and sighed heavily - I don't suppose you have a Lho-stick? At time like that even I could use one...

"What? That can not be... Or..." - Marcus stuttered - "I went to the Great Library and unfortunately I had to show my Inquisition Badge. I was let in and read the most unholy... Well, not unholy, because it contained reports of the two cults I mentioned to you written by our brothers. I just cannot believe anyone could have done such a thing, the tome was literally dripping in blood. I got so overwhelmed that I lost the track of time. To be honest... I do not how I got here..."

Marcus gaped as Laz was bandaging the eldar.

"In the name of Emperor! Who is she? How did she get in here?" - Marcus said nervously

- *Who* she is that I don't have a slightest idea. *What* she is should be painfully obvious - yet another eldar. Found her being tortured by, what I assume, members of one of the cults you mentioned or at least close associates of them. Considering I had to go through bodies of two of their cronies to get to her, and didn't know who I was "helping" until it was too late I decided that shooting her on spot would be a waste of effort - so I took her with me in hopes that something usefull can be pulled out of her. The catch is that this will take our own eldar, as she doesn't seem to speak our language.

"Ah, so you have discovered the most important lesson in the galaxy: that it's better to die from chain smoking than from a chainsword!"

With a smirk, Pass tossed Laz an almost empty pack of lho-sticks.

"I see that you boys managed to find us some leads. That's great, because I've got nothing - this place is one huge spiritual toilet. Our quarry has chosen his hiding place well, I'll grant him that."

Hearing a voice behind him Laz jums up and turns to face the source of it

- Damn it woman, learn to knock - I could have shot you if I still had a weapon in hand... - Laz says seen that was only Pass, who entered silently sometime in between - Thanks for a smoke anyway. And yeah Marcus, I hope Silharriel knows how to comunicate with her - here's hoping he and Tobias return soon.

The psyker chuckled:

"Just keeping you on your toes. If I was a Chaos-worshipping assassin sent to murder you, I wouldn't bother knocking, either."
