As the Glittering Darkness exited the warp and stabilized in real space Brother Liam’s stomach lurched. Always an unsettling feeling Liam thought, even after almost a century in the Emperor’s service it still found a way to confound him. Liam rose from his meditation before the Celestial Lions 2nd Company standard that hung in his Spartan chambers. As serfs appeared at a mere thought they began to assemble his armor, once it shined bright as a sun. Now he sighed it was shadow, the darkest dark. The only markings of who he once was now adorned his right shoulder, a roaring golden lion on a bright blue back ground. He was one of the last; by now he might be then last Celestial Lion. A voice that sounded like it ate gravel entered his room arresting his thoughts, ‘Kill Team Invictus, and report to the Command room for briefing.’
Finally the time has come. In its infinite secretive nature the Inquisition had kept the mission details classified. They had quickly been diverted on the way to another mission. Since then word had been sparse, Inquisitor Zio kept his own council. Liam was used to it, and expected nothing less.
‘Take my weapons, and wait at the docking bay.’ Liam said as he exited his quarters, not waiting for reply.
‘Brother Lion,’ Liam was greeted by Brother Hellion of the Dark Hunters. They had formed a grudging respect being the premier assault specialists of the Kill Team. Hellion preferred the use of his Force axe, where Liam relied on the power of the Thunder Hammer. They had dueled many times; Liam had managed to claim victory. Hellion had been a true test of skill, and being from different chapters he was able to learn some new techniques.
‘Brother Hellion,’ Liam replied with a nod, ‘It seems the time finally has come.’
‘Indeed brother, it will be good to do battle beside you rather then against. Let us meet whatever comes with the Emperors righteous fury.’ Hellion replied slamming his fist upon Liam’s shoulder guard.
In short order they had arrived at the command center. Inquisitor Zio stood at the head of the table flanked by his lackeys. Kill team leader Veteran Sergeant Dan greeted them with a nod. His bright blood red shoulder pad dominated the armor and singled him out as a Son of Sanguinius. He was not the only one Brother Olander was also part of the Blood Angels. Around the room Liam received nods and looks from the others. Brother Tech-Marine Thrax of the Black Templars, clearly confounded on how to react to the squads new Librarian being a fellow Son of Dorn. Librarian Abel of the Imperial Fists was a new addition to the squad after losing the last squad librarian to a hive tyrant on Gorgon III. Beside Abel stood Brother Arkus as black as even the armor he wore with piercing red eyes. He was the complete opposite to Liam with his long blonde hair, blue eyes, and patriarch features. Though a fraction slower than the rest of the brothers, Arkus had proven a more then capable warrior.
Wolf Priest Fafnir finished the squad and greeted Liam the same as always, a grunt and a grin. Liam returned the greeting in kind. The two had become fast friends upon Liam’s entry into the Death Watch. He had relied on the old wolf for advice.
Again the sound of gravel took over the room as Dan spoke, ‘good we can begin, Inquisitor if you will.’
Zio appeared annoyed but began none the less, ‘Very well Sergeant. Invictus the Forge World of Graia has been invaded by the ork xenos. The Ultramarines have been dispatched and should already be deploying across the world. Our concern is with Inquisitor Drogans research. The Inquisition believes it is warp tainted, and as such will not let it fall to the orks or anything else.’
Clearly troubled Able cut in, ‘Warp…..weapon? Surely the Inquisition would not allow this to exist..’
‘They use you do they not?’ Thrax cut in.
‘Enough, Thrax stand down.’ Dan said in a tone that would allow no further prejudice of the Templar to make its way in.
‘That is of no concern to you soldier, your mission is to recover the information that is all.’ Zio replied not letting Thrax’s comment fester.
‘Where is our engagement point?’ Dan asked
‘Here,’ Zio pointed to and brought up a desert area on the map out side of a tech facility. ‘You will be dropped in by drop pod, make your way into the facility recover the information and extract here outside of a local Hab Center. Your mission time will be three standard hours if your late you will miss extraction.’ He said with finality.
‘Can we expect interference or assistance from the Ultramarines?’ Asked Fafnir with a growl.
‘No, we are not alerting them to our presence; we get in get out and leave. The Blood Angels and Black Templars are currently enroute as well to assist. Along with some further Inquisition forces, who have a different mission. I will not let our mission be slowed by questions. Do not assist local forces, as you have a time frame you must complete.’ Zio stated flatly.
Always at odds, even with each other thought Liam. Surely there is a better way he thought, but kept it there.
‘Should we not attempt to recover Drogan?’ Added Liam
‘No, if you come across him, eliminate….’ Zio stated clearly aggravated by the name.
‘What kind of resistance can we expect?’ Arkus added ‘Heavy, move quickly do not become bogged down. That is for the defense forces and the other Chapters to deal with. You are a fine knife not a blunt hammer.’ Zio stated and closed the display, a sign he was done answering questions.
‘You have the details uploaded Brothers, meet at the docking area. We leave in ten.’ Dan said turning on heel.
