*Thoth clicks his beak in mild annoyance at Santiago being addressed over either him or Ra*
Thoth: Xenos? Humani... Honestly, so discriminatory. We are no more Xenos to you, than you are to apes.
*Clicks his beak and shakes his head as Ra stands, watching the woman closely*



*Cal screams in pain and begins to fall*


*Horus nods*
Horus: One, but you will deal with me Humani, or not at all. What do you want?
*Crosses his arms*


*Black Hawk blinks and exchanges looks with Curt*
BH: Excuse me? Who are you? Why should we trust you so... quickly?


*Mergoux holds up her blade but doesn't approach the dude*
Mergoux: And why should we come with you? Why should we believe this isn't a trap?

*Gharn sticks near Denny and Jake, prowling at half-transformation*

*Nero shrugs*
N: I was doing just fine, but let's go.
*looks over at Merg*
N: Worst case scenario, I cut him in half. Sound good?

*Aerin doesn't react besides moving his hand away from his sword*
*Voskrinod nods*
V: Excellent.
*follows after the figure*

*Santiago frowns*
S: She is no threat to anyone. Any form of watch is unnecessary, and a waste of manpower that can be used elsewhere.

*Kara's group heads away from the figure, coincidentally heading to Treebeard*

*Lusacan is j chillin' in his cave with his Darkspawn, and have been pretty much focused on keeping their link to the Fade strong*

*Curt looks between BH and the figure and figures he'll sit this one out*

*Badass Rex stops spinning and lets out another roar before trying to flame breath Wade*

*Treebeard (THAT IS NOT HIS NAME FYI, just temp.) sighs at Kara's group, and frowns at her especially.*
Treebeard: Hurt not... the... green.
*He sighs, and leads them to his small sanctuary.*
Treebeard: At least... not... witchers...
---

*The chick seems to Ignore Thoth entirely totally focused on what Santiago has to say.*
Chick: Don't worry about it, we already know all about her. Now get your group together cause we are leaving now.

*Something is running to Cal's predicted crash landing coordinates.*

*The chick with the skull mask shakes her head violently, and she gnashes her teeth for a solid thirty seconds. In that time she stomps on the ground actually cracking the earth.*
SC: Listen the feth up bird.. I am going to ask one more time, I was ordered to find the speak the human. *Grabs her head, and gnashes her teeth.* AND not to harm any XENOS allies of said human!
*She takes a moment to breath, and let the drugs wane in her system.*
SC: So... get the fething human.

*Guy with venom containers talking to Black hawk shrugs.*
Gv: We offer safe haven from the invading forces that plan to conquer every known universe in existence... or am I forgetting something? Face it, you have to come with me, or die out here from the demons, and we are the best chance of ending this.

*Jake sighs at Nero.*
Jake: We will go with you, but we all have questions.
*Sniper dude shrugs, and starts walking towards their base.*

---
*Zoey stops puts Cathy down, and shots his eyes.*

*Both Ra and Thoth are mildly offended but not truly surprised*

*Ra looks at Santiago*
Ra: I'll go gather them up.
*Goes to do just that*


*Cal crashes though several branches which help to turn his fall non lethal and lands with a loud thud on the ground, wings and 1 leg broken and very unconscious*


*Horus sighs, then gets up and goes to wake Morrigan*
*He kneels next to her and mutters something*
*She then gets up and allows Horus to lead her over to the woman*
*She has her eyes closed and appears to be human unless she's being scanned or something*
*She fakes being blind as she addresses the woman*
Morrigan: Yes? What is it?


*Black Hawk shrugs cause the dude has a point*
BH: You have a point. Let's go.
*Walks after the dude*


*Merg is entirely unhappy with Jake speaking for the whole group and nods to Nero*
Merg: Don't hesitate.
*She and Gharn follow along*

*Kara nods*
K: I only hurt what deserves it. Or... I try to.
*looks around Treebeard's (def his name, 10/10) sanctuary, and smiles very slightly (not that it's visible, cause silhouette)*
K: It's nice here. You can almost forget what's happening elsewhere.

*Santiago nods and picks Joalia up, cradling her in his arms*
S: What is your allegiance? Your... demeanor reminds me of Imperials.
*regardless of his own opinion of Imperials, his tone hides it*

*Wade keeps teleporting, but tries to keep its fire away from Zoey and Cathy*
*gets roasted pretty badly, but keeps fighting as best as he can*

*Nero nods*
N: This sword isn't for show.
*grits his teeth, cause he misses Yamato (crazy epic sword he lost somewhere along the way, cause reasons), and follows after Optic Nade_Shot*

*Curt hangs up the back behind BH and the armored figure*

Curt: So, has your group been able to find any other survivors? Name's Curt by the way. Nice to meet you.

*Badass Rex seems not to care about the shots to the eye even after they crack and break*

*Some guns fold out of its back and start shooting at Zoey, Billy and Cathy. It head remains on Wade trying to roast him*

*Also AC/DC starts playing*

*Treebeard (No lol) sighs, and nods.*
Tb: This... is all that is... left of the green.
*He groans in sadness, and stomps to speak with two leshens.*
Tb: Find your place.. don't hurt the green.

---
*Chick with energy sword sighs at Santiago.*
Chick: We work for the god emperor, and act as his vengeance on those who warrant it.

---
*Eddie shrugs, and looks at Merg and Nero.*
Eddie: Why don't you two love birds go off on your own? I'm sure you'll save the universe.
*Jake sighs.*
Jake: Leave them alone Eddie.

---
*Figure leads the witcher, and dragon to the base.*
*They are greeted by a man, in a simple duster, and what appears to be some form of light power armor.*
Jason: Ah! So the witchers have finally arrived, with are most interesting guest as well! I am Jason Thulman, Grand Master of the Officio Assassinorum.
*Doesn't really address Tala, though he gives her a nod.*

---
*Skull chick nods, and gnashes her teeth a few times.*
SC: We you are ordered to the base as soon now!
*She Wrrrry's at the sight of Horus, but still doesn't attack.*
Sc: Clear? Understand?

---
*Dude leads Bh and Curt to the base.*
Dude: Oh yes! We have found a few groups of survivors, even able to recover a few of our agents.
*He smiles at Curt.*
George: They call me George, nice to meet you Curt.

---
*Zoey grabs Cathy again, and starts running and gunning.*

*Thoth rubs the bridge of his beak/nose and sighs*
Thoth: Of course you do...
*He takes Calluna from Furia and holds her while feeding her more energy*
*The young hybrid looks at the assassin curiously*

*Morgan is helping Dria to hobble along*
Morgan: What's going on? Who's this woman?


*Merg glares at Eddie*
Merg: Lovebirds!?
*She mutters darkly*
Merg: I wonder if your kind can feel pain...


*Morrigan nods*
Morrigan: This base? Where is it?
*Still has her eyes closed*


*Black Hawk nods*
BH: Good, then perhaps we're not the only survivors.
*He nods to George*
BH: I am Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak, though you will probably find it easier to just call me Black Hawk

*Curt smiles*

Curt: Let's hope we can kill these fething monsters. We saw some pretty nasty ones, big ones to.

*Smirks after BH says his long ass real name*

Curt: He's as old as his name is long.

*Curt looks at the base*

Curt: (Wow.)

*Nero looks over at Eddie*
N: I'd do better than you would. By miles.

*Voskrinod smiles and extends a hand to Jason*
V: Voskrinod, a pleasure to meet you Jason.
*Aerin stares blankly at Jason, trying to think of ways that he could get through that pretty armor of his*

*Santiago nods*
S: Imperials then.
*looks back at Thoth*
S: Please Thoth, even if you disagree with them, they're helping us. We need allies.

*Kara frowns at the news, and keeps looking around*
K: Thank you, for the hospitality.

*Wade teleports onto the Rex and keeps firing until his SMG's run dry, then he switches to his pistols*
DP: Hell yeah, gotta love ACDC!
*is looking like a marshmallow that got left in the fire for too long*

*Thoth sighs in a over dramatic fashion*
Thoth: Oh if I must suffer these fools at least I'm not alone... Let us go.


*Billy's shield is getting low*
*He chucks a few grenades and continues running from cover to cover, peppering the Rex with gunfire*
Billy: Love th' tunes!

*Torgue is singing along to the music*

TORGUE: BACK IN BLACK!

*The BRex's head does a 360 to look at Wade. It goes to shoot its miniguns but Billy's grenades throw it off*

*Cathy kinda likes being carried around by Zoey, she continues to hammer the BRex*

*The BRex has a lot of health*

*Marla looks over*
Be careful with this group, definitely Imperial but there certainly different. Maybe inquisition or someone else more dangerous than the norm.

*Marilania heads put cave hearing talking outside *
What... We only just went south...?
I thought all the imperials where cut off by blockade.

*Furia stays close to thoeth and looks at the new person*
More stranger... More new. This camp, basics need to survive, food, water, shelter. Move?

*Thoth nods*
Thoth: It would seem we are moving. This is good, perhaps we shall come across others from the room this way.
*He looks at Furia*
Thoth: Do not worry, I shall not let them harm you or Calluna. That would simply be wasteful


*Morgan shrugs to Maril*
Morgan: I don't know, but we might be able to link up with someone else. Besides, Imperial or not if they have a base with real defenses then we'd be safer there

*Furia*
Ok. Move. Room hall clan, strength numbers. You trust.
*FYI she looks perfectly human, but muscular, and heavy accent of her people*

*Marilania*
Aye. Or a long range vox, minus room armour comms are rather limited.
*far more quietly*
Be careful... Please.. Remember terra, the golden warriors.
Some imperials kill on a whim. Just keep your temper please....
*slightly pleeding but means well none the less*

*Marla and Maria get ready to head out waving over anyone new or who needs to join them.
*Maria*
Any suplies here to carry out Santingo? You seem busy with your own priorities to protect with Joalia. Plus cover put tracks abit that you camped here?

*Morgan nods as Dria gives him a look too*
Morgan: I'll... try. I promise.
*Offers his free hand to Maril as they walk*


*Thoth shakes his head*
Thoth: Trust? Oh certainly not. I would trust a Ork further than I Man or Woman of the Imperium. At least with Orks you can sometimes reason with if you have... How do they put it... "Loadsa shinfy 'fings"

*Furia*
Sound like mountain fiends... Orks do. Bandit race.
*checks her knife and sword*
This needed then.
*tucks one dagger into her boot hidden away*

*Marlil takes the hand and walks along to the new camp*
That's ernough for me.
If you need, Il help Dira. I can take weight if your tired.

*Marla walks by heading up front to keep a eye out*
Welcome to the family Morgan. May need to borrow some wire cutters when we make camp if you got any.

*heads to a more forward position to protect groups more vulnerable members *

*Dria shakes her head*
Dria: It's more about balance than anything else.
*Morgan nods then frowns at Marla*
Morgan: Wire cutters? Err, no I don't have any on me. What would you need them for?

*Marla*
Augmented leg, thr syth skin system is playing up and bugging me. Was just gonna cut the power and disable it.

*taps knee*
all metal above the knee, did not wanna use a sword if I could help it.

*Marilania*
Ok. Well Il help if needed.
You always treated me well so.

Ooc just nipping for a shower.

*Morgan and Dria nod and keep walking*
Morgan: Sorry Auntie, I don't have any tools with me
*Everyone heads towards the place*

OOC: *OT does a sleep*

*Marinalias hand squirms slightly*
Might have to get used to that however non related officially.
*smiles none the less and holds hand*

...

*Marla*
No problem. Il borrow a knife off someone that's small ernough.
Only a few wires to snip off.

*Freya snaps awake from where she was standing guard over Scatty*
*curses herself for falling asleep in full armor again*

*Treebeard gives Kara a hard stare.*
Tb: You... corrupt... it sickens the green.
*He groans, not believing he is letting such a creature into his sanctum.*
Tb: Find... place...

---
*Skull chick grits her teeth, and points north uncaring if Morrigan is blind.*
SC: North of here, we should now we leave now or you die out in these wastes! Clear?
*She turns, and stomps towards the base.*

--
*Eddie shrugs.*
Eddie: Universe never did me any favors, let the tower fall is what I say.
*Jake shoots him a look of utter rage, and even Eddie can feel the anger burning off his once Ka-brother.*
Jake: Keep your mouth shut, Ka-mai. Before I rip out your tongue.
*Eddie grins, and nods.*

---
*Jason smiles, and shakes Vosk's hand.*
Jason: Ah yes, Voskrinod.. you are a conundrum for my Vanus agents. I have many questions for you, but for now get some rest.
*He turns to the witchers.*
Jason: From my understanding you are both genetically modified humans, so as such we will house you in the non xenos quarters. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
*Brunor gruffs.*

---
*Energy saber chick ignores Thoth, and maintains eye contact with Santiago.*
Chick: We need to move soon, demons are getting closer by the second.
*She frowns at Furia, then turns to Marliania.*
Chick: All the imperials on this world died, except for some our agents who managed to escape the attack.

---
*Cal wakes up on a cold slab, his limbs bound by heavy silver chains.*
*His wing was treated, and wrapped up though... so that's a plus.*

---
*George nods, to Bh.*
George: Nice to meet you, and yes you are not the only survivors.
*Smiles, and keeps walking towards the base.*

--
*Zoey keeps shooting, and makes sure to shield Cathy from gun fire.*
*Keep circling around the rex, and keeps shooting for weak points.*

OOC:
Sorry that I missed the Morri thing ZK. I'm travelling home right now and a lot of the areas that I'm going through have little or no internet reception, so I'm missing a lot

*Nero looks between Eddie and Jake before facing away*
N: I'll just let you two settle this.

*Aerin nods*
A: I prefer 'mutant feth'. Reminds me of home.
*Voskrinod smirks*
V: A conundrum? How flattering.

*Santiago nods*
S: Let's move, then.
*doesn't feel like listening to Energy Saber chick and the M's go at it, and demons are a comin'*

*Kara bites her tongue, cause she doesn't want to snap at the creature giving her and Maiev refuge*
*a small voice speaks from the

*Wade grins at the BRex, and his wounds are starting to heal*
DP: What the feth happened to the bolter that Gaunter got me?
*shrugs as best he can and keeps shooting*

Dem Warp gitz are comin' dis way? Nah, ya can ignore em, more fer me! Waaaagh!

*Charges off in direction of daemons, buying *some* time for the others*

*Eddie and Jake walk in silence.*

---
*Jason frowns at Aerin.*
Jason: Well under the current circumstances I would say you are at least not tainted by chaos, and your mutations are man made from my understanding... So I rather call you a genetically modified human.
*He smiles at Vosk, and nods.*
Jason: Yes you are a... fascinating creature, to say the least.

---
*Energy saber chick keeps walking.*

*Morri opens her eyes and looks at Horus*
Morri: We need to-
*Horus shakes his head*
Horus: You go. I'm not leaving without Iris
*Morri sighs*
Morri: I knew you'd say that... Alright, stay safe, and head north as soon as the others get back
*Morri goes over to Freya and gently lifts Scatty up*
Morri: Come on, we should get moving. I just hope the others made it...


*Cal struggles weakly against the chains, but because they're silver he can't really do anything*
*He spends several minutes looking around before finally calling out t in several languages, including High Gothic*
Cal: Hello? What's going on?
*Can't help to hide the slight edge of fear in his voice as this is the exact scenario Elders remain in hiding to avoid*


*Morgan shrugs*
Morgan: I guess so... I mean I can see how it's kinda weird.
*Smiles slightly*


*Merg has no idea what the tower is and doesn't really care. She just walks along towards the base*

*Gharn has again, no idea what the tower is but respects Jake enough to glare at Eddie for upsetting him so badly*


*Thoth and Ra follow along*


*Billy thinks to try something and shoots a few high explosive rounds at the Rex's ankle, trying to cripple it*


*Black Hawk nods*
BH: Good. Perhaps we'll see some friends there. Lead on George

*Freya nods*
Let's go then, if you can carry Scatty I'll keep an eye out for threats.
*she checks the fit of the straps on her shield then gets to her feet*

*Aerin shrugs*
A: Call me what you want.

*Voskrinod keeps smirking*
V: You remind me of the Zerrikanians. It's rare for anyone of my kind to find hospitality outside of their lands.

*marinalia*
Aye... Guess one thing I'm gonna have to get used to for once.
*smiles slightly and follows on walking n walking softly*


*Maria overhears energy blade chick*
You might wanna tell your chain of command, there was a large xeno battleship in this system. Not sure if still here. But it held planet under blockade. 20km+
Hostile. Any orbital assets may want to be careful. It may still be in area, it may not however. Intel is limited. Last positive id is fairly old.

*Furia follows thoeth keeping close as not trust the forests*

*Bolting back from the previous direction, accidentally bumping forcefully into Voskrinod; a large gash is open along the boss' right arm*

Urk, 'scuze me, surprised ya didn't hear me comin' back. Uhh, ya might wanna talk less o' da talk and walk more o' da walk. Dey've got one a dem Bludfirsters 'eaded dis way. Real spoilsport he was, I was havin' a ball krumpin' those puny Daemon gitz when 'e showed up and did this ter me...

*Gestures to gash*

...So, in return I gave da Bludfirster a quick lil' punch ter da jaw wif my Powerklaw. He'z mighty riled up now, so ya can go shut yer yaps and move, or else we'll be permanent roommates on da opposite sides uv a big ol' Daemon toof.

...NO, I AIN'T RUNNIN' CUZ I SCARED. I just wanna... make sure I get da right tools to stomp him propa before I go back fer anutha go, see?

Ooc night folks. Guten day folks.

Welcome back kk.

Jason: Never heard of such a place, but that talk will be later as well.
*Jason nods to Vosk, and a group of servitors lead the witchers party to there rooms.*

---
*Energy blade chick nods to Maria.*
EB: We are well aware of the unknown alien craft, enough questions.
*Keeps leading.*
--
*George leads, and so does skull chick.*

--
*A female voice out of Cal's view speaks.*
Voice: You flew in restricted airspace, and were shot down. Now we wait for my superior to decide what to do with you.

*Cal sighs*
Cal: Restricted airspace? That's new to me. When did it get restricted? And how long have I been unconscious?


*Morri carries Scatty to the base*
Morri: Hm. What is this place?


*Merg and Gharn keep following along*


*Thoth, Ra, Morgan and Dria keep walking*

*Freya tags along after Morri since I completely forgot about Dakka for like 4 hours*
*stays quiet and just observes everything*

*Voskrinod brushes himself off and chuckles*
V: I'm sure it regrets harming you. Good luck in your fight, ogroid.
*follows after the servitor after nodding his thanks to Jason*

*Aerin follows along, staring blankly ahead*

*Thinking to self, albeit out loud*

Mork knows, I musta hit the poor carker too hard in da head when I ran by, cuz he's not actin' even a bit worried 'bout bludfirsters. Guess he's never me one in da flesh... I s'pose dey will, if I walk fasta.

Also, dat cut in me arm's bulgin' and oozin'... And smilin'. What da zog did da Warp gitz do ter me?

*Hastily cuts growth out of arm, which grows limbs and horns, resembling a pudgy bloodletter the size and shape of a nurgling*

Good Gork, I dunno if it's disgustin' or adorable. I fink I'll keep it.

*a Looted Wagon zooms up behind Kommissar and the Kommanda pops out of the hatch*
Oi! Dis 'ere is my turf ya git. Zog off!

*Jason smiles, and walks up to Morri.*
*As he walks skull chick, stands next to him, and another figure seem to step from the shadows and stands opposite of skull chick.*
Jason: Ah yes, our first "elder" ... You must be Morrigan the crow goddess, correct?
*Skull chick twitches, and puts a hand on her sword hilt.*

*The female voice doesn't say anything more to Cal.*

*Witchers are lead to their respective room.*

---
*Treebeard sits on a stump in his sanctuary, and speaks with the leshens about tree stuff.*
*It's a long talk.*

*Morri is instantly on edge*
Morri: Hold on, how the feth do you know who I am? What I am? Who are you?


*Cal sighs and starts working his fingernail into his palm, trying to cut himself*

*The BRex revs its engines and charges Billy*

*The turrets on its back shoot at Wade and Zoey/Cathy*

*Cathy giggles while she shoots*

*Curt continues to follow Gorge*

*Aerin dumps his stuff off in a corner of the room and sits down*
A: Not sure if this is more like a tavern or a prison.

*Voskrinod shrugs and looks around*
V: Sometimes humans can commit acts of kindness, Cat. And they happen more often when you are kind as well.

*Kara sits down cross legged and admires the sanctuary*

*Wade grins and fires at the turrets*

*Rest of my roster is still walking afaik, excluding Daveth who I'm p sure is elsewhere in the sanctuary*

*In a very stern tone to the small, blobby Daemon*

Now don't ya go dyin', cuz I'll get propa riled up about it. But I'm givin' ya a job at do.

*Shouting at WK's looted wagon kommanda*

Zog off, ya git! I'm a Warboss! Not just a boss, I'm da Boss!

*Hurls little Daemon at the wagon hatch as it makes a squeaky cry that sounds like "Wheee"*

*Jason grins a knowing grin.*
Jason: It's my business to know these things, I am Jason Thulman, Master of assassins.
*He shrugs.*
Jason: I've been watching this place for some time.
---
*A pistol barrel nudges the back of Cal's head.*
Female voice: Stop whatever you are doing, lay back and remain still. Understand?
*The sound of the hammer being pulled back on the gun echos around the room.*

---
*Zoey keeps firing at the rex, and concentrates on avoiding getting sprayed by bullets.*

*the Kommamda responds*
Ya don't look lik any kind a boss ta me! Ya look like a mangy grot ta me!
*reaches into the tank and throws a snotling at Kommissar*
*watches the little demon sail past*
Nice shot ya git!

*Freya begins following Morri's trail towards the base*

*Cathy focuses on peeling the guns off the BRex's face*

*A bullet hits her and her shield flickers*

Cathy: Hey!

*BRex continues making gak loads of explosions and fire*

*Cal relaxes his hands and tries to angle his head up to see his captor*


*Morrigan narrows her eyes*
Morrigan: Imperium then. Why should I trust you with... anything? You've been spying on us, that's not a good start to our relationship.

*Billy's shield breaks and he dives into cover before he get's shot to pieces*
*He huddles down, waiting for his shield to regen*

*Aerin meditates*
*Voskrinod is checking out their room, but keeps his space from the Witchers*

*Wade teleports off of BRex and keeps firing at it*
DP: Come on, you thot! Shoot the guy with no shields why don't ya?

*Cal sees a fine ass female vindicare assassin, and then gets pistol whipped by her gun.*
FV: Stop moving.

--
*Jason shrugs.*
Jason: Then go, you'll be considered an enemy combatant, and shot when we meet again. I know your kinds weaknesses.
*Skull girl draws a glimmering silver energy sword to demonstrate.*
Jason: So... make your move, "Goddess."
---
*Tala Npc sleeps.*
*Brunor goes up to Aerin.*
Brunor: You trust these guys?

--
*Zoey frowns at the gunfire from the Rex, and starts dashing for cover.*
*Frowns at finally running out of ammo, and draws her energy sword.*
Zoey: Stay here Cathy... (OOC also smoke weed everyday.
*Runs towards the rex.*

*Cal yells in pain as he's pistol whipped*

*Morrigan looks around and her jaw tenses in what could almost be fear*
Morrigan: Why would you even consider helping us? Aren't we 'filthy xenos'?

*Cathy nods to Zoey and tries to distract the BRex in any way she can*

Cathy: Don't get shot! You are to pretty for scars!

*The BRex starts chasing Wade and tries to bite him*

*Marilania, Maria, Marla and Furia follow the energy blade chick to the base, careful to try and leave less tracks as possible.

*Marinalia yawns slightly as they carry on to the base*
This is place is pretty remote. Must be a good few miles from the cave.

..

*The warp story remains clam as Milo waits in a large octagonal room for the next stage *

*Aerin looks up at Brunor*
A: I don't trust many people at all, Bear. I don't see why this Jason deserves anything after giving us a smile, a single room, and then bending over backwards to suit a dragon's ego.

*Wade starts doing rapid, short distance teleports while shooting at BRex's mouth*
DP: What big teeth you have!

*Jason shrugs.*
Jason: To call you a xenos is a misnomer, but that doesn't mean you creatures are to be trusted. Your hatred of the imperium and the god emperor is well known, and some of the acts that have transpired here... have warranted the emperors wrath. Choose now, stay or turn around and leave my base.
*Skull girl giggles.*

---
*Brunor nods.*
Brunor: Agreed... well... take care.

--
*Energy blade chick keeps leading to base, which is in sight.*

---
*Zoey shrugs, and keeps charging energy sword low, aims for the rex's side.*

*The BRex roars as its side is slashed a little*

*It stops chasing Wade and drives into the centre of the arena*

*It starts spinning and shooting flames from its exhausts again*

*Cathy's shields flicker and break as she ducks behind cover*

*Her hand gets burnt slightly*

Cathy: Gah! gak! My trigger finger!

*She wiggles the burnt fingers on her burnt hand then winches*

*Curt chats with BH*

*Morri bites her lip, thinking of Scatty who she's gently layed against a rock or tree or something*
Morri: I... I want your word that you won't harm me or mine.

*Morgan and Dria see a familiar figure*
Morgan: MOM!
*He lifts his sister and leaves Maril's side to run towards his mother*
*Morri turns in shock and is knocked off her feet by Morgan and Dria's tackling hug of reunion*


*Ra smiles slightly, happy to see Morri alive*

*Thoth calmly walks up to Jason*
Thoth: Might I presume that you are the leader here?


*Billy pops up, shield back to full and shouts*
Billy: Get some muthafetha!
*Charges on the opposite side of the Rex that Zoey is charging and brings his old spearheads into play. He slashes violently, the ancient runes allowing him to slice through the metal*


*BH chats back as they walk*

*Marilania, Maria and Marla breath a sigh of relief seeing a imperial base that's not a ruin or over run*

*Marla*
Thanks the emperor someone survived...
Hey morri, damn least a few more of us got reunited.

*Marilania glad Morri made it because Morgan and despite all kinda glad people they knew survived *
Finally... Ain't this a sight for sore eyes.

*Furia eyes up the base unsure as not seen places like imperial bases*
Man base... Different hall...
*looks round seeing things that look pretty odd to her*

*KK's small Daemon skips along the ground a couple times, then scrambles back toward the wagon and hops up onto turret. It begins flailing its tiny fists at the Kommanda, to very little effect*

YEAH, DAT'S IT! STOMP 'IM, LAD!

Sooo, you don't fink I'm a boss, eh? I'm almost da size of yer whole wagon, which makes me a heckuva lot bigger dan you, ya bigmouthed Snotling! Once da lil feller's had his fun, the real hurt's gonna begin fer dat insult.

*Jason shakes his head.*
Jason: You won't have that, your race are insubordinates at the very least. I expect conflict with your kind, cause your kind draws it. At this point you have my word you won't be harmed, unless it merits it.
*Skull chick draws her sword, and steps towards Morgan, and Dria, but Jason lifts a hand.*
Jason: What a happy reunion, wouldn't you say Emma?
*"Emma" aka Skull chick twitches, and gnashes her teeth.*
Emma: Permission to kill?
Jason: Denied, go for a walk dear.
*Emma has a mini tatrum, and walks into the forest to slaughter demons.*

*Energy sword chick, grabs Thoths shoulder, and pulls him back.*
*Her green energy blade shoots out of her hand.*
EC: Stay back. Wait.

*Zoey hacks at the rex with her energy sword, and begins to climb the monstrous beast.*

*HOW TALL IS THIS LADY!? Cause Thoth is like 10'3"*
*Thoth looks down at the Lady touching him and flicks his fingers, knocking her on her butt but not really hurting her*
Thoth: Do not touch me Human. Ever.


*Morri is worried and extremely distrustful, but cut off from the Shadow Realms and having nowhere else to go she nods*
Morri: I... Very well... I accept.
*She takes the twins and Scatty inside*

*Marla and Maria head inside if they can or wait for zk to talk to them if he wants, whatever is best for his plot and how he wants things to work *
Santingo. Thanks for finding us. Seems you by some mismatched way got us here... Wherever here is.

*Marilania smiles at family reunited and heads with her family however it works *
See you later Morgan. Good to see you reunited at last.

...

*Furia looks confused at base but has grown used to not knowing *

Strange man hall.. Death ... Clan.. Skulls... *imperial is normally heavy on skulls in general*
*stays near thoeth as despite everything and such kinda trusts him more than most*

Ooc pretty tired, may be last post, or one more.

*the Kommanda snorts derisively and leaps from his tank*
*he's nearly as big as Kommissar*
*it's not really clear how he fit in the tank*
WHAT DID YA SAY YA LOUSY RUNT? I'VE SEEN GROTS DAT WERE BIGGER DEN YOU! HOW'Z ABOUT INTRODUCE YOU TO DA KOMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT?
*pauses*
Dat's my shoota by da way.
*is holding a very shiny shoota and a power klaw*

*Milo is standing around in the doorway after going through the portal*

*Milo sees a large octagonal chamber, surrounded by 8 large statues that lear over there upper halves in shadow of space marines. In the centre is a battered Las gun, elysian pattern and some charge packs.

Also there is a iron box with a iron key inside set upon a granite table next to the Las weapon that looks old, battered but perfectly working still. *

*the Las gun may trigger memories and thr hey in box is part symbolic, part a item to open the next zone*

Ooc night, sorry tired.

*Glares at the Kommanda*

Well, I see ya've got yerself a Power Klaw, and it's almost as big an' choppy as mine! An' as fer yer shoota, I say ya can stikk it up yer--

*Tiny blobby Daemon rushes past both in a frenzied panic*

--Huh? Oh, right, as I was sayin'...

*Pauses for several seconds*

...As I was sayin', see ya 'round, git! Enjoy yer next kustomer in line for komplaints!

*Turns and breaks into sprint in the direction of the fleeing tiny Daemon. Behind the Kommanda, the enraged Bloodthirster has shown up, flattening the wagon*

AND BY THAT, I MEAN SCRAM!!!

*These last words are heard at least distantly by the others still in the Daemon world*

*Two sniper rounds crack from somewhere within the base, and both of Thoth's knees are struck with silver tipped explosive shells.*
*The energy sword lady, stands up, and dusts self off. Jason walks up looking annoyed.*
Jason: Ah yes Thoth, the most arrogant of all the Elders. You sadly are too... uncontrollable.. so alas you will be restrained to a specially designed cell. I'm sure you can understand, considering you just attacked one of my agents who was simply defending me...

---
*Morrigan and kids are escorted to a different area of the base that is way more defended.*
*Also they are escorted by another agent similar looking to George in attire.*

*the Kommanda is pretty angry about all that*
GET BACK 'ERE YA GIT! I'M NOT DONE WIF YOU YET!
*sprints after Kommissar with the Bloodthirster in hot pursuit*
*a grot crawls from the wrecked wagon and sprints after everyone*

*Santiago nods to the M's and goes to respond, but curses and quickly moves to be next to Thoth*
S: Thoth. Drop it. We don't want a war with Imperials. Demons are enough.

*Aerin nods*
A: Will do.

*Wade frowns at BREX moving away*
DP: Get back here!
*teleports after it and switches to his shotgun*

*Thoth sighs as the shells simply lose all momentum against his suit and fall the ground harmlessly*
Thoth: Protect you? I was merely attempting to greet our host.
*He chuckles slightly as he's actually amused by Jason*
Thoth: Confine me? You presume much to think you would be able to confine me.
*He nods to the Agent*
Thoth: I assure you I meant you no harm. I could have just as easily stopped your heart. Please excuse my... removal of your touch.


*Morri and Morgan are both taking in details of the area. Morri memorizing a route out of the place and Morgan analyzing the construction and mechanics of the place*
*Morri bombards their escort with questions mostly pertaining as to who else they've found, why their helping them and how they know what Elders even are and how they know their weakness to Silver*

*Yells back to WK*

We may be Orks, but I ain't stupid enuff ta try tusslin' wif ya when DAT fing hot on our bums! We need da uvver gits from da magik room ta help krump da bludfirs--

*More Khorne Daemons materialize near the pursuing Bloodthirster*

Ah, fer zog's sake--

*Spots more Warp rifts beginning to open ahead in the distance*

Gork wif a spork. We're zogged.

*The Kommanda manages to catch up to Kommissar*
We need more boyz to take on dis lot!
*sees the warp portals opening ahead and raises his shoota*
ZOG OFF YA POINTY HEADED GITS!

*Jason frowns.*
Jason: Too bad, then. Looks like your too threatening to keep around... Initiate code red.
*A series of alarms sound, and the base is put on high alert.*
Jason: I didn't want to have to do this but you best leave, and die in those woods before I kill you here.
*A group of culexus assassins jump around Jason, and stare at Thoth.*
*Everyone near them starts feeling sick, and have a headache. Their eyes glow in Thoths presence, and he can feel his energy being sapped from them.*
Jason: You have the count to ten, old man.
*He then turns to Santiago, and smiles.*
Jason: Excuse me for a moment, Santiago. I have a pest to get rid of...

*The assassin accompanying Morri and the kids says nothing, and leads them to their room. Room is well furnished, and has a small kitchen. No windows, and strangely no bars on the door.*
A: Here is where you will stay, if you try to leave this room the neurotoxin in your blood will activate, and kill you. If you need anything, we have servitors on stand by. The emperor protects.
*He then walks away without another word.*

Oi, bein' a Boss with da taktikal know-wotz, I got a plan. I see too many Warp gitz back behind us, but I fink we'll have enuff time ter krump a few of da ones in fronts of us.

Once we'z made a gap, we run real fast-like, and we scoop up all the gits from dat magik room and take 'em there. We can fit 'em all under our arms, I fink. Then we can force one of them wif magik know-wotz (they call it Psykik?) to fix da room just enuff to put a planet or two between us and dat red zoggin' monstrosuty behind us.

*Raises shoota and pops the head of a Bloodletter attempting to cut the Orks off*

Oh, and don't ferget my lil blobby buddy or yer Grot orderlee. Dey iz essenshul personnel.

*Santiago shakes his head and ignores the feeling for now*
S: You don't have to do this. Thoth can bite his pride, and no one needs to be hurt.
*looks directly at Jason*
S: Do you want to risk the lives of your men over a misunderstanding? We've been through a lot, our nerves have already been tested. Don't make this a conflict.

Sounds good! Mork wud approve!
*raises his own shoota and shoots down 3 Bloodletters more by accident and high volume of fire than accuracy*
*the grot runs up behind Kommissar and climbs up his back*
*the grot sits on top of him and pops off ineffectual shots with his grot blasta*
'ERE WE GO!

*Morri freezes*
Morri: Neurotoxin? How could you possible get a neurotoxin into our bloodstreams? Come back here!
*Morgan and Dria both look scared*
Morgan: Mum, our systems will fight it yeah?
*Morri nods futilely*
Morri: In theory... Oh I wish your father was here...


*Thoth sighs*
Thoth: Now really, I don't mean you offend or cause harm-
*His eyes flash at the assassins*
Thoth:At least allow me to hear your terms before I refuse them. From what it sounded like you intend to imprison me and my kin. That simply cannot be allowed. You have no more right to imprison us than... Marla does.
*He frowns at his energy being drains and the grass around him wilts*
Thoth: You go too far little man. Were it not for the presence of children.... well you would be splattered on the ground. I shall depart, but know this. If you should harm my allies, I will do my all to obliterate not only you, but your entire Imperium.
*He hefts Calluna onto his shoulder. The little girl looks back at Jason and sticks out her tongue while holding onto her father's feathers*
Thoth: Come Furia. We're leaving. Perhaps we shall make refuge in the mountains.

*He looks at Santiago*
Thoth: This is exactly why the Imperium is so... foolish. I did not want this, I was merely stating facts

*He looks at Jason*
Thoth: You could never contain me. It's simply not possible for your kind... Honestly, such a mistake was made with your kind's creation... Farewell humans.
*He nods to Santiago*.
Thoth: Give my regards to the others, warn them of this... maniac, and if you should need assistance, just take some time to reflect upon it
*He winks at Santiago as he says "Reflect", snaps his fingers, draining much of the energy from his surroundings to the point where everyone feels like they've just sprinted a mile, and vanishes in a flash of light with Furia*

*The Culexus charge their guns, and get ready to fire at Thoth, obliterating him from existence... but Jason stops them.*
Jason: Not now. Let the prideful bastard run away.
*He turns to Santiago.*
Jason: Believe me, we are safer without him being here. Welcome, "spartan" you and the rest of your party will be admitted. I am Jason Thulman Master of assassins, I have come to this world to save it, and return it to the fold of the imperium. You understand these "elders" are to blame for all this chaos? And now the universe is in peril from their actions... It is only right that we restore the balance.

*Comically sprints into Imperial base while kicking up large trail of dust, blowing past the entry guards with little more than a 'No time ta explain da situashun, good talkin' ta ya gits, bye!', and bursts into room where others are being held*

Oi! We've gotten ourselves a bit uva situashun 'ere. If all ya gitz from dat magik room would kindly GET DA ZOG OUTTA 'ERE, I fink you'd find yerselves in significantly fewer pieces, cuz a bludfirster and his horde o' lil' gribblies are gonna tear through here!

*Pauses, catches breath, and resumes speaking a little slower*

Oi, watcher all standin' around like dat fer? Didn't ya hear me propa? We got zounds of dem Warp gitz incomin' and there's waaaay too many ta stomp em all. But, uh, where is da magik room, do any of ya gits know? We need it fer my escape plan ta work.

*the Kommanda zooms in behind Kommissar in a similar speedy fashion*
*looks around awkwardly at everyone on the base*
Um. I don't fink dey like us much...

*Thoth rests for a while after teleporting then drains some stuff and begins to create a small house by basically Earthbending rocks and stuff into place*


*Gharn and Merg keep walking*


*Cal is starting to get worried*


*Morgan, Morri and Dria sink onto the sofa, feeling trapped and afraid*

*Santiago sighs as Thoth leaves, then nods to Jason*
S: From what I've seen, there's no one that can be blamed alone for the universe's problems. But we're not here to discuss politics.
*looks around the base*
Where would you have our party go?

*Kara grits her teeth as Lusacan invades her mind, and the two argue with one another*

*Turns to WK*

Good Gork, the poor gitz must be deaf! (Not deff, mind you, dat's totally different.) I hope dey aren't blind as well, cuz ya might fink a coupla massive Orks makin' an entry all dramatic-like and hollerin' about Daemons would get some zoggin' attention.

Also, did someone just tellyport outta here? Mork dammit, he mighta been able to help us all escape!

*Suddenly looks to other side of room*

Oi, is dat a vendin' macheen? Oh, I hope dey've got Squiggin' pot pies!

*Momentarily distracted from the idea of impending Daemonic incursion, extracts a couple teef from a pouch and thuds over to machine, accidentally bumping the sofa and its occupants*

*Treebeard frowns as he feels a disturbance in the green. He looks over at Kara, and frowns.*
Tb: Everything.. fine?

--

*Jason shrugs.*
Jason: That is correct, but this planet was under their charge...after they assumed to take it from the god emperor. Now look at it. You, and your group will stationed in our living quarters...and from my understanding Joal is still somewhat paralyzed, so she will be allowed in your quarters. All Elders and other Xenos lifeforms will be shown to a more... regulated part of the base. Now excuse me I have a prisoner to interrogate..
*Servitors show up, and start to lead the group to their respective housing. Jason then walks off, heading towards Cal's room.*

By Mork, ya must be right! Dese gits must be deaf and blind! Tho dey might see deff if dey don't get off der zoggin' behinds and fight tha daemons!
*missed the teleport completely*
Ooh a vendin' macheen? See if dey got dat new fungus soda, "Dr. Pepper" I fink dey calls it.
*thuds over to the machine after Kommissar*

*Cal's still waiting worriedly*


*Horus goes looking for Iris, now that he doesn't have to watch over Morri and Scatty*


*Gharn and Merg keep walkin along and stuuf*

*Santiago nods, and watches Jason walk off*
*gets lead to his quarters, and sets Joalia down on a couch or a bed, or any furniture available*

*Kara lifts an eye open and her silhouetted form ripples (temporarily showing her true self) before it reappears*
K: I... will be. Fine.
*shudders slightly, and faint lines of silver and green swirl along Kara's form*

Gah! Da masheen isn't acceptin' teef! We're done fer!

*Grot and tiny Daemon climb off of the massive Orks and start vandalizing the vending machine, setting off a couple alarms*
*When Jason's security personnel finally decide to notice the Greenskins and Daemon romping around, Kommissar responds in an irked, sarcastically non-chalant tone*

Oh, ya grew yer eyes and ears back yet? I woulda thunk ya'd prefer ta know about a ZOGGIN HUGE Daemon army, probably minutes away from yer base...

*Glances back to damaged machine, Grot hands Kommissar and WK their desired items from the vending machine*

Say, ya Imperial humie gitz don't happen ta have a microwave in here, do ya? I'd like ta eat dis pot pie before we're all pulped.

*the kommanda drinks his fungus soda and casually stands beside Kommissar*
*the Grot begins rumbling in the machine again*

*Jason walks into Cal's cell, and frowns.*
Jason: By the throne Sara, did you have to hit him?
Sara: He was doing something with his hands, sir.
*He sighs, and turns to Cal.*
Jason: And there's our long lost father, should've known it was you. Undo restraints.
*Restraints undo at his word. He sits in a corner of the room visible to Cal, and smiles a genuine smile.*
Jason: Well, Cal you seem to be a capable medic, so I hope I can rely on you to take care of the other Elders.. My medics are busy with other things as is. Now, you must understand that you are going to be confined to your quarters while you stay here. Luckily your family is here, and I am sure they miss you dearly. Sara please lead our guest to his family.
*Sara gets's up, and motions for Cal to follow.*

---
*Treebeard frowns at the silhouette, and sits next to Kara.*
TB: You... are not well... the green knows this... it beckons you...

*Cal sits up, rubs his wrists then wipes the blood from his forehead and glares at Jason*
Cal: Other Elders? What other Elders? Why are you doing thi-
*He goes wide eyed*
Cal: My family? If you've so much as touched them, I'll show you what my skills as a medic can do to someone like you!
*He half rises from his slab and gives Jason a look of rage, momentarily too focused on that to pay attention to Sara*

*Kara groans softly and shakes her head*
K: My master beckons me. But I... I renounce him.
*with Kara's statement, the silver lines glow brighter for a moment before the green swirls into them in intricate designs, as if they are battling against one another*

*Stumbles into interrogation room* I wonder if da cookin' amenities are in here...

*Spots Jason* Oi, git! You're da one in charge here, ain't ya? You're about ta get what's coming to ya for ignoring an Ork! Do ya hear it? Yer puny lads shouting outside and da gunfire? I fink da Daemons we've been harpin' about fer all dis time are at the perimeter of dis here base, and now I dunno how da Zog we're gonna evacuate.

*Turns to Cal* Weird lad on da table, do ya know a fing or two about tellyportin'? I wouldn't worry about dis Imperial git too much, cuz da Daemons aren't gonna stop at layin a finger on yer family... Oh, and if ya figure out how ta get a bunch of lads outta this base at once, don't forget us Orks, da Grot with us, or da lil' blobby buddy o mine.

*Stops in surprise* Hey! Da microwave was down here after all! *Moves to far corner of room and throws pot pie in* Oh, and whatever ya plan on doing, make it fast. Like red paint job fast.

*the Kommanda trudges after Kommissar grumpily*
Zoggin' humies and der lack of proppa cookin' tools. Even Snakebites have der fires that dey use to cook squig kebabs!
*turns to Kommissar and sees the Microwave*
Gork's teef! Ya found da microwave! Finally!
*took a pot pie of his own from the vending machine and waits to use the Microwave*
Zoggin' daemons....

Hmm, that pot pie filled me up right and propa. A good meal can really tucker ya out. Even a Warboss needs a lie down sometimes.

*Turns towards Jason* Git! Make sure yer ladz can hold da siege till mornin'. We can escape then. Sounds like the walls will keep da Daemons at bay fer long enuff.

*Muffled explosion from outside* ...Probably.

OOC: Night all

OOC:
Night.

*Jason steps forward, and meets Cal's gaze.*
Jason: Watch your fething tone "Cal," that sniper round could've went through your head, or I could have cut you up on this slab, and your family would be none the wiser. I am sick of your races pride, and arrogance so please go to your family. Sara take him to them.
*Jason walks out.*
*Sara holsters her pistol, and walks out of the room.*
Sara: Follow.

---
*Treebeard sighs.*
TB: Bummer...
*He looks at the ground, and summons up some flowers.*
TB: Can.. you.. fix... corruption?

*Cal's gaze doesn't soften but he follows Sara silently*
*Upon reaching the room he has a pretty happy reunion with Morri and the twins*
*He looks around the small area they've been given and speaks to Morgan in the language of Danu Talis*
Cal: (Translated) Morgan. Search the room for bugs. I don't trust this man as far as I can throw him.
*Morgan nods and starts looking around the room for spying devices while Cal takes a look at Scatty who's lying unconscious on the couch*

*Furia looks round the small house that Thoeth created*
Men.. Base. Always so hostile?

Still same Pla...., planot ...planet?
Learn, try to. Talk with DR.

...

*Marilania looks slightly worried and sits on bed as they got let into the base. *
Maybe this was not such a good idea.

*Maria puts a arm round her daughter *
Relax, its only a minor set back. And we safer than the waterfall. Just gotta wait this out.

...

*Marla waits stood in a doorway and looks round kinda hoping to see Milo walk in as not know what happen to him*
Please have made it.... You always did survive somehow.

*The BRex groans and turns its gaping metallic maw towards Zoey*

*It roars and blasts a jet of fire at her not caring about damaging itself*

Cathy: Woohoo! Robot dinosaur rodeo!

*Cathy continues shooting*

*BRex is slowing down*

TORGUE: SHOOT TO THRILL!

*The darkness around the world starts dripping down, making pools of black something in various places around the entire world*
*There are no 40k demons on the world, cause the world is cut off from the warp, making it impossible for them to exist*

*The fortresses themselves are teeming with undead and demonic life, as they sacrifice whatever humans/other things that are still alive on the world*
*The big demons are now on the world, so woe to all*

~

*Maiev meditates in the sanctuary, trying to somewhat commune with her goddess*

~

*Illidan more or less does the same, but not in the same area as Maiev*

~

*Tala is frustrated as all hell*

~

*Joal is scared and huddled against Santiago*

~

*Denny sighs, and puts her hand on her magnum*
D: The Imperial's are more likely to shoot their own kind in the back of the skull than they are to help them. Let's go Jake.
*She knows she's most likely being listened to, but doesn't care*

*Billy starts climbing the rex by jamming a spear head in, pulling himself up, jamming another one in and repeating the process.*
*Might get knocked off if the rex moves too suddenly or sharpely but continues trying to get to the robot's head*


*Gharn frowns worriedly while Mergoux curses under her breath regarding imperials*


OOC: Welcome back Vanden. Hope everything's sorted with you and looking forwards as to where this plot is going!

*Cathy tries getting closer to the BRex to get a better shot*

Cathy: Just realised that people climbing it makes it harder to shoot...

*She holds her fire not wanting to hit Billy or Zoey*

*Milo silently picks up the lasgun and examines it*
*frowns as it sparks a hazy memory in his mind of being a warrior of some kind*
*rapidly re-assembles and loads the weapon*
*takes a deep breath and moves on to the next stage*

OOC:
Welcome back Vanden. Hope things are going better now

*Nero keeps walking, looking disinterested*
N: You're not doing this out of the kindness of your heart. Why'd you show up to help all of a sudden?

*Kara sighs*
K: I might. The Fade can create, as well as destroy.

*Santiago has an arm around Joalia*
S: We're safer here. At least the Imperials don't want to destroy humanity.

*Wade teleports to the side of the BRex that's opposite of Zoey and Billy, and resumes his firing*
DP: Over here! Away from the fethers who can die!

Ooc welcome back to the madness.

*the rooms clanks, creaks and sound stone moving as a seamless staircase of stone spirals up the centre of the room slowly forming a way up to the heights hidden in shadow above*

*each step is etched with strange geometric designs and a growing sense of foreboding the higher you climb *
*at the base the box opens by itself revealing the iron key floating in a box of rough forged but solid iron*

*the statues cast imposing shadows and half lit torsos as fires burn in metallic pits at there feet*

*Milo takes a deep breath and starts jogging up the staircase*
*his grip tightens unconsciously on his lasgun as he goes up the stairs*
*bits of memories spark in his mind but fade before he can get a good grip on them*

*Stairs seem to wind higher and higher to a height that should be impossible for the face and each one glows slightly as he treads upon the step*

*the feeling that something powerful above grows as the steps glow brighter the higher he climbs*
*Passing the stone statues he cannot get thr feeing the stone is not entirely inert and dead*

*below him the floor begins to fade into a misty and more distant form*

*Milo grits his teeth as he ascends the stairs*
*a feeling of dread seems to grow with each step*
*the glowing stairs are super creepy*

*stairs start to glow from a dark red to a more a firey orange the higher you go*

*a faint sound of deep drums that echo too deeply to be normal begins to hear as he ascends the last section of the staircase *

*the view below is now very faint and looks like you climbed a tall building when room is only a few stories high yet statues somehow remain in scale as warp cares not for physical sizes*

At the end of the staircase a glow can be seen from burning fire pits of unnatural colours that glow brighter the closer you reach*

*Milo ascends the last of the stairs and takes a deep breath*
*instinctively mutters a phrase under his breath*
The Emperor protects....
*walks towards the fire pit*

*stairs end and the fire pits glow brightly as he ascends last step into a large chamber that has the shadowy outline of a vast throne wreathed in a unnatural shadow with a seated vast figure.*

*fires generally shadow and drama up the scene and smaller but also larger than human shadowy figure are stood unnaturally still*

*figure is hard to look upon and speaks with a voice that carries malice and weight of the many centuries *
You have beaten the games. mortals are pitifully weak and not worth the slightest thought.

Your fate awaits Mortal.

*Milo stands up proudly*
And what is to be my fate?
*secretly scared out of his mind*

*figure stands and a goliath deamon is visible, one hand ending in vast talons, a second bearing a massive cursed warhammer that hurts to look upon and a half cyborg, dark technology form of a vast shoulder mounted cannon*

So you have pride... Only the emperor will not help you here.
The emperor protects... *menacingly cruel sarcasm in voice*

Fates you choose.
I plucked your soul from the warp. Not the corpse god who rots on a decaying throne, of a decaying world symbolic of his failure.

You where my game, a mere toy mortal.

*Milo continues standing defiant*
And what are my choices?

*Jason voices comes over the speaker in Danu Talis.*
Jason: No point in searching, the bugs are all around you. Just get comfortable.
*Literally no way to keep info from Vanus agents, who have literal bugs moderating the room, and a cyber eagle that sits on a perch over looking the room. On top of that hundreds if not thousands of cameras are everywhere.*

---
*Jake nods with Denny, and keeps following.*
*Eddie shrugs.*
*Assassin looks at Nero, and shrugs.*
Ass: My superior believes that we will need your support.. we won't be able to get any support from any other imperial forces, and the things we are dealing with are things we have never faced. Personally I think we should put all the inhabitants on this world down for their heresies.
---
*Brunor tries to calm Tala down.*
---
*Tb frowns at Kara.*
Tb: The... green creates... never destroys.. You should put faith... in the green.

---
*Mannoroth spots Thoths makeshift house, and grins a toothy grin.*
*He and a demon army stop towards it, and are clearly visible.*

---
*Zoey does a barrel roll, and avoids some of the fire.*
*Her shield crackles, but she manages to jump and grab a hold of the Rex's jaw, and starts stabbing his throat.*

*the deamon prince laughs cruely and sends a bolt of pain forcing milo to kneel and obey his command*

You have spirit... But even you bow before me mortal worm.. I am the breaker of Terra.

Your choices. Mortal weakling.
*a serris of arcane carved doors form out of thin air and each one lights up in dark portals.*

Each one is a fate. Every one is a different path that your life could take. You may be a chaos lord.. A deadbeat, happy with your family.

The final game. Choose.
*only has his fragmented memories and flashes to decide the very path of his future, each doorway is a risk of sadness, falling to chaos or maybe a happy family life. Choose wisely*

*The BRex's neck gets riddled with stab holes that fire starts shooting out of*

*Cathy trying to be a gansta and hold her gun one handed, she can't manage it*

Cathy: Awww...

*The BRex roars and AC/DC's TNT starts playing*

TORGUE: HOLY S**T THEY FORCED THE BADASSASAURS TO USE ITS FINISHING MOVE!

*The BRex starts to vibrate and heat up, it emits a horrid groaning noise and it starts to melt down*

*Milo groans in pain but refuses to scream*
*manages to glance at each doorway*
*shattered remnants of memories flash through his head as he stares*

*view clears slightly and several corrupted half chaos, half machine forms stand nearby ensuring there is no escape*

Choose... Or a i promise you that every one of your family will join you in hell.

Poor Marilania... Imagine her soul turned to chaos, to be a destroyer of worlds, a feared chaos lord and defiler of the imperium.

*a vision of her as a chaos lady, as elysian system burns below her flagship and the extermitous torpedoes detonate and nuclear fires burn across the world to torment him*

...

*Maria, Marla and Marilania rest at the base as I'm not sure what to do with them right now*
*Furia looks af thoeth and looks worried*
Monster come ... Danger. ... Help ..

*Morri looks around at wherever the speaker was placed*
*The whole family look shocked*
Morri: (Translated) You dare speak this tongue!?
*The family huddles together, starting to feel truly trapped as Morgan and Dria only speak 4 languages (Danu, English, Greek and Latin) so it's unlikely they can communicate properly without being understood and overheard*


*Billy climbs onto the Rex's back and runs Through The Fire And The Flame (we carry onnnnn!) to stab at the Rex's head where a flesh and blood being's brains would be*


*Thoth has set up a small bowl of water on a large stump for use later as he meditates and feeds Calluna who is growing fast*
*His eyes wink open, glowing solid blue at Mannoroth*
Thoth: Good day to you. What do you want?


*Just realized I completely forgot Ra but he was having no part in any of the imprisonment so he went to look for Horus*


*Also just realized I've not used Quetz since he broke free of the rubble of the room so Imma say he's curled up somewhere in the woods resting off another long flight of searching for survivors*


*Gharn says notthing but Mergoux looks at the Assassin*
Mergoux: Put us down? I'd like to see you try and put either of them down
*Nods to Jake and Denny cause she knows they're the strongest of the group there.*

*Milo struggles to his feet and stares at the doors again silently*
*takes a deep breath and begins limping forward*
*pauses in front of the door that will return him to his family before walking through it*

*The BRex's head starts spinning and spewing flames into the air, it crashes into a wall and it starts to sound like its about to explode*

*Cathy goes wide eyed and dives for cover*

*the door flares to life as he is directed to wherever WK chooses and when wk chooses that Milo shall return *

*a voice stays with him that's hard to shake*
Does the emperor protect... Why die for a corpse on a throne, unremembered, a pointless death, forgotten by all time. Think on it. There's always a chance to change it.

...

*Furia backs behind Thoeth looking pretty scared by said deamon army as for a Barbarian woman, she going through alot recently *
This... Not good.

*Billy gets thrown off and lands heavily, knocking all the wind out of himself*


*Thoth makes a soothing gesture towards Furia*
Thoth: Be calm. I will deal with this

*Nero raises an eyebrow*
N: And what heresy did I commit? Use of guns? I don't bend over backwards for Sparda?

*Kara looks up at TB and sighs*
K: What is the... 'green'? Some kind of Fel, or Fade?

*Wade grins*
DP: It's gonna be a big boom.

*Furia calms but still army of deamons is pretty scary*
Da... You Trust..

*looks at own sword which is probably pretty inectual vs thr enemy*

...

*Marilania, Marla and Maria have gathered in one room and are talking quietly about the journey, and also reassuring Marla that Milo did make it. *
*Marilania worried not seen Morgan at all but tries to hide it to support her aunt*

*George makes sure BH and Curt are well settled before visiting the family.*
*He notices them all scared, and Morri yelling.*
George: I see that you have all met my Master then, I am George the ward of these shelters... Er... welcome.
*He bows slightly.*
George: May we speak? In any form of gothic please.

---
*Mannoroth stomps up to Thoth, and looks down at him.*
Man: You are the powerful mage I sensed... good I require you.
*He grins a toothy grin.*
Man: You wish to defeat the ones who plan to destroy the universe?

---
*Assassin shrugs, and leads them to the base.*
Ass: Just telling you my thoughts... All I know about this place is that imperials die here, commissars become heretics, and heretic primarchs walk the earth. So In my opinion this place should be scorched.
*He shrugs again, and looks over at Nero.*
Ass: To be totally honest I have no clue who you are or how you got here. No agents have any information on a white haired male, welding a sword... and some mutation I assume? *Gestures to gauntlet.*
---
*Treebeard sits back, and points at the ground. A series of flower quickly grow, and bloom.*
Tb: Green... is the true mother... we are all her children...
*He sighs.*

---
*Zoey bounces off the Rex, lands, and starts running away.*

*Nero shrugs and the closes the Devil Bringer into a fist before relaxing it again*
N: Something like that. And I'll give you my name if you give yours. You might as well know who you're dealing with, if you try to scorch me.

*Kara nods and watches the flowers bloom*
K: You remind me of the Dalish. Elves that lived in the woods, from my old home.

*Thoth nods and folds his hands behind his back where they glow slightly*
Thoth: That would be preferable. I would sooner the Universe go on existing. Why? What would you need me for?


*Cal stands to speak in High Gothic because he's pretty sure Morri would just start wailing on George*
Cal: Shelters? What is this? You've all but imprisoned us. If you know anything then you'll know that I and my family have stood on the side of the humani our entire lives. What pretense do you have to keep us locked up then? We're no danger except to those who would hurt us. We didn't start this.
*Morri stands in the background quickly translating to the twins*


*Quetz spots the green and makes his way towards it, slithering through the trees instead of flying for once*

*Assassin shrugs.*
Carver: Names Carver, Vindicare assassin.
*He keeps walking.*
---

*George also shrugs.*
George: You, and the other Elders have expressed their hatred of the Imperium many times. On top of that we know you keep company with demons, xenos, and have lost countless imperial lives here... how can we not be cautious of your race?
*He sighs.*
George: You fail to understand our position.. Jason is in the right to have you confined, and it isn't as if you are in a prison cell.
*Gestures to kitchen, and separate rooms.*
George: If anything we are protecting you.

---
*Mannoroth grins, and looms over Thoth.*
Man: Yes wouldn't it? Beings even beyond me trek these lands, and I require the aid of my master. You will bring him here.

---

*Treebeard nods.*
Tb: I know of elves... they treated the green with respect.. they are mostly gone now.
*He looks up, and frowns as a series of finches chirp of Quetz's presence.*
Tb: Hmmm.. I must go..

*Cal frowns*
Cal: We look upon the Imperium as a flawed empire. We seek to protect humani from themselves as much as the monsters of the Universe. Your Imperium kills millions of humani every day, we would have them live. Not die for a being long since passed.

*He sighs*
Cal: That's another thing you Imperium has taught wrong. Not all Xenos are evil, nor are truly all demons. Take the Tau Empire for example, if you could learn to get along with one another you might learn and benefit mutually.

*He looks around the rooms*
Cal: What difference if it's in here or in a cell with no lights and only a bucket? Would you allow us to leave if we wanted to?



*Thoth raises a eyebrow*
Thoth: Will I? And why would I do that? Who is this master, and what are his intentions?



*Quetz pokes his head into the clearing and blinks at the light*
Quetz: Excuse me, what is going on?

*Nero nods*
N: Nero. No titles though.

*Kara nods*
K: I won't... harm... the green.
*sees Quetz and moves somewhat backwards, away from him, cause he hasn't seen her in her new form*

*Cathy pears over the cover she ducked behind*

Cathy: Big boom...

*The BRex lets out one final roar as the song says "About to explode!", then explodes in a massive ball of fire. Fireworks are also launched out of it because why not*

TORGUE: F**K YEAH! (air guitar)

*Denny tilts her head at Carver, then pulls her gun*
D: Like the woman said, I'd like to see you put me down, Carver.

~

*Gandrea does some things with David and Daveth's group or something*

~

*Carrie stalks the skies around the planet, and occasionally gets attacked by smallish harpy-like monsters(bit bigger than a human so she ain't too fussed)*

*George laughs.*
George: You are lucky I am not Emma! But no you are wrong, you are the flawed empire for you have no empire. The imperium may have it's flawed but it will endure, and you lie. Your race has done absolutely nothing for mankind in these last centuries, I believe you went into hiding after the Emperor came to power. On top of that we have intel of you supporting, and harboring Cabal agents, races actively trying to end mankind. You lie through your teeth by saying you help humans, you have done nothing for us. You may stand us, and even like a select few... but you care nothing for us.

---
*Carver shrugs.*
Carver: Killing me will serve no purpose, and killing you will serve no purpose either.
*He looks at Denny.*
Carver: You and the rest of the humans have nothing to fear, I simple stated my thoughts on what I would have done with this place.
*Jake rests his hand on his magnum, and looks over at Denny.*
*Pretty much gives her the look of: you shoot I follow.*
*Eddie busy not giving a feth.*
---
*Mannoroth keeps grinning.*
Mannoroth: Enough question, you will serve or you will die!
*His giant demon army roars in agreement.*
---
Tb to Kara: Then you are welcome.
*Treebeard frowns at Quetz, and leshen step behind trees ready to attack.*
Tb: You... will not harm... the green?

---
*Zoey puts her sword away, and stand there like a badass.*
*She pulls out a blunt, and lights it up.*

*Cal sighs*
Cal: Our Empire crumbled, just as yours will one day...
*Morri butts in*
Morri: The Imperium isn't worth saving! Let it burn, and let the survivors wake up from the nightmare cast by it!
*Cal sighs*
Cal: Contrary to what you might think, we DO care for humanity. Just because you cannot see our efforts doesn't mean we haven't done anything. There are creatures far worse than Tyranids or Orks. We are the ones who keep those beasts imprisoned, just like you've imprisoned us.


*Mergoux narrows her eyes at Carver*
Merg: And what about those who aren't fully human?


*Billy stumbles to his feet covered in soot*
Billy: H-holy fething gak... THAT WAS AWESOME!
*He grins*


*Thoth shakes his head*
Thoth: I think not. If you can explain to me why summoning this being would help to this world then I shall happily comply. Otherwise I shall be forced to either ebgage you in combat or simply escape


*Quetz blinks*
Quetz: Er, no. I have no intention oh harming this... green.


OOC: Sorry lads, gotta sleep. NPC as needed or pause as you want. I don't mind either way

*Curt w sits in his room looking around*

Curt: Well this is cosy.

*He yawns*

*Denny stares long and hard at Carver, then moves her hand away from her M6*
D: Unlike you, I would rather not shoot my own kind in the head.
*She keeps walking, nodding to Jake once to confirm that she knows what she's talking about*

*Kara nods and watches Quetz for a moment longer before she turns and heads off to where Maiev is meditating*
*doesn't say anything at first, and just watches her*

*Wade laughs as the explosion goes off, and is grinning like an idiot*
DP: That was totally wicked! What else can we blow up?

*Maiev's ears twitch the second Kara comes close, and the ghost of a smile finds its way onto her face*
M: I smell someone beautiful...

~

*Illidan is tempted to leave the group, but he needs to meditate on some things first*

~

*The ocean closest to the Room is completely red with blood of mortals, and there is absolutely nothing living in it*
*Giant beasts of terror are born from the sea, and drag themselves to land, where they gorge themselves on flesh, be it captives, or demons, cause they don't discriminate*

*Kara smiles and sits down next to Maiev*
K: Not as beautiful as you, Kadan.
*slips her hand into Maiev's and sighs*
K: At least this place hasn't been changed.

*Quetz looks around, not recognizing Kara and probably can't see Maiev or something*
Quetz: Erm. What is this place? I have not seen it here before


*I'm not sure if BH was taken to the human rooms or the xenos rooms because of his 'mutation' for Immortality*
*Wherever he is he's chillin'*


*Billy wipes the soot from his eyes and starts brushing his hat off*

*Cathy runs up to Wade and hugs him then winces because of her burnt hand*

Cathy: Ow...

TORGUE: CONGRATULATIONS MOTHER F***KER! YOU JUST KILLED ONE OF THE MOST BADASS THINGS IN ALL OF CREATION! GOOD JOB!

*A door opens back to the prep room*

TORGUE: NOW GO GRAB YOUR PRIZE!

*Wade smiles down at Cathy*
DP: We should do this again. We're undefeated in the arenas, two time champs. And we'll get something for your hand.
*looks over at the opened door and grins*
DP: My favorite party of the job.

*Billy walks over to Cathy, grinning*
Billy: Well that was mighty fine work! All of you!
*Smile fades slightly as he sees Cathy's hand*
Billy: Oh, here, let me take of that.
*He reaches to take her hand and heal it for her with aura*

*George sighs, and explains the true intentions of the Cabal to Cal. Because George does know what is up.*
*He turns to Morri.*
George: Say something like that one more time, and I can't protect you from what happens. You're a bloody fool for yelling that, we have eversors on the base! Do you have any idea what they would do if one of them heard you!? Think of your fething children and refrain from insulting the imperium!
*He composes himself, and sighs for yelling.*
George: You may walk around freely on the base, but some of the base will be restricted. Understand that we will always be watching you, and if you try to thwart that then we will confine you.

---
*Carver shrugs.*
Carver: Don't lie by saying you haven't shed human blood before, it's part of the job anyways.. I do the emperors work, and kill foreign and domestic enemies.
*Looks over at Merg.*
Carver: I don't know, I'm just a soldier.
*Jake follows Denny's lead, and takes his hand off his magnum.

---
*Treebeard walks up to Quetz.*
Tb: This... is... the last of the... green.
*He looks at quetz, and groans at his size.*
Tb: Do not hurt the green... watch step...

---
*Zoey keeps smoking her blunt, and heads towards the trophy room.*
Zoey: That was fun.

*Cal sighs frowns*
Cal: Hm. I was... unaware. I don't know much about the Cabal, all I knew is that they were against Chaos. I'll have to contact some friends over this news...
*Morri glares and slams the door in George's face*
*Cal goes to the bathroom to make some calls... with the mirror.*


*Merg nods*
Merg: I've shed human blood. If you can call murderers and bandits human. Evil scum, all of them.
*Frowns distrustfully*
Merg: Well... I guess we'll see.


*Quetz floats easily among the green. The wind keeping him afloat gently ripples the green under him as he floats a foot off the ground*
Quetz: Rest assured, I'll not harm the green. Who are you woodman?

*Cathy watches as Billy fixes her hand*

Cathy: Aww gak! That's awesome!

*Hugs Billy, then hugs Wade*

Cathy: We should do this again! I do love shooting stuff!

*Nero shrugs*
N: Only humans I've killed so far are ones that are worse than devils, or tried to become a devil.

*Wade returns the hug and grins*
DP: We'll need another arena. And a bigger shelf, to hold all of our trophies we keep getting.

Cathy: We are the champions!

*Cathy runs up behind Zoey and hugs her*

Cathy: *excited giggles*

*Marla and Maria are talking in one of there rooms and tying to keep Marlas hopes up Milo escaped the battle*
*Marla finally has time to think about it which does not always help doubts*

*Maria doubts also but not letting her sister give up*

...

*Marilania has gone outside her room for abit of air though the probbly pretty fethed up sky is kinda ominous and doom like*
*draws sword and does practice routines to clear her head in a spot where not gonna kill someone*

...

*Furia looks concerned but trusts thoeth and he probbly soothed partly by magic and part by voice etc *

*Veck gives up on calling for reinforcements*
*Greyfax is feeling useless*
*The Kommanda is doing something of note I'm sure*
*Freya disappeared*
*Milo is trying to figure out a very confusing map given to him by Trollzyn*

*Wade heads into the opened room and rubs his hands together*
DP: I hope someone made a save file before this, in case the loot was gak.

*Billy grins and returns the hug*
Billy: No problem kiddo. Let's go see what Randy Savage left for us.
*Walks towards the trophy room*


*Morgan goes looking around, against the wishes of his parents but he needs to get out and just walk for a while*
*He wanders around the base, looking for something to do*


*Dria has collapsed in a bed, both still worried over Gharn and terrified of her captors*


*Morri is sitting up just staring blankly at the wall, trying to think of a way out of this*


*Cal is contacting various Elders and Immortals by scrying with the bathroom mirror*
*More than a few of the Elders he speaks with look like something out of a nightmare. Like scarier lookin' than most 40k stuff*

*George sighs, and goes off to do his business.*
---
*A cyber eagle perches above Cal, and screeches at him. The eagle simply beams at him, to prove a point.*
---
*Carver shrugs at Merg.*
Carver: I don't know, we have never come across a cross breed eldar.. or elf.
*Jason meets with Jakes group, and Carver takes his place next to his Master.*
Jason: Welcome, gunslinger, spartan, were-lion, half elf *Looks at Nero.* And our mystery guest!

---
*Treebeard sighs, and takes his seat on a stump.*
Tb: Thank you...
*He sighs.*
---
*Mannoroth grins.*
Man: You should flee then, cause where ever you go other darker beings will follow, you are like a burning flame to the demons, and sooner or later you will get tired of running and die.
*He stomps forward and his demon horde roars.*
Man: You had your chance, mortal!

---
*Zoey looks surprised by the hug, and gradually returns it.*
Zoey: Er... yes we are..

*Cathy stays attached to Zoey*

Cathy: Its loot time!

*Inside the prep area there is now a massive chest filled to the brim with every kind of weapon you can think of. They are all explosive tho.*

*Marilania sheaths sword and heads back more inside and finds a small ration section and area to sit and get a drink*

*Makes self a rather bad, ration coffee that is probably made to last a century, and mass produced from what is definitely never seen a coffee bean*

*sighs and sits at a Spartan table with a drink and sighs at the situation *
(hope the elders are ok... We need there help to stand a chance at survival if any is possible)

...

*Maria and Marla remain in a room talking about Milo, trying to help her. Also wonder what kind of reason would drew such a powerful force of imperials to a seemingly doomed planet*

...

...

*Billy whistles and rummages through the guns*
Billy: Holy gak! What're we supposed to do with all of this?!


*Gharn is kinda antsy, hoping Dria is there*


*Mergoux doesn't really trust Jason but nods to him silently*


*Cal looks up and shoots the Eagle a annoyed look then goes back to addressing the mirror which shoes the face of a Jackal-headed man*
Cal: No no, it's nothing. Just some Eagle. Now as I was saying...


*Quetz nods*
Quetz: Of course. What is this place? Who else is here?


*Thoth's eyes narrow*
Thoth: Mortal? No Demon, I am no mere mortal. I am a god!
*Thrusts his palm out and sends a wave of fire to incinerate the front line of demons then grabs Furia and Calluna and vanishes in a wink of light*
*He teleports them to the top of a mountain*

*Furia shivers slightly as normally not the warmest of places mounting peaks temperatures. *

Can magic. Off Pla... Planot.. Planet .
Hear... Many such lands. Safer lands.

*Nero nods*
N: Nero. And I don't know how long I'll be a guest. I've got business, and it won't get done by sitting around.

*Wade snags a shotgun and grins*
DP: Grab what you can, and don't pass the carry weight.

*Cathy walks up to the chest grinning*

Cathy: *Excited squealing*

*Cathy pulls out a rocket launcher and laughs hysterically*

*Marilania heads off to bed after drinking a bad ration coffee from small eating area*

*takes off her armour and goes to bed, taking chance to sleep while she can*
*tosses somewhat as nightmares and general broken sleep*
*if Morgan has any low level twinsense type feeling off her its worry in general*
...

*Maria and Marla sleep in respective rooms however its set up*

...

Ooc night folks.

*Jason nods to Nero.*
Jason: Agreed, and from my understanding you are... beyond most beings. At least from what little data we have gleamed on you.
*He shrugs, thinks for a moment then nods.*
Jason: If you'd like I can have you on the field with two of my operatives as support in less than five minutes, unless you wish to eat which is understandable.
*George walks up to Jason, and the both exchange a nod. George then walks up to Gharn, and bows slightly.*
George: Gharn is it? I believe there are some of your family that wish to see you. Would you please follow me?

----
*Eagle watches, and record.*
*Big brother is always watching.*
---
*Treebeard sighs.*
Tb: People.. who better... not hurt the green.
*His six yellow eyes, stare a Quetz.*
Tb: I... hate... names.
---
*Undead die from flame wave, but infernals and doomguard seem unphased.*
*Mannoroth laughs, and stomps forward.*
Man: When I tear out your heart, and watch the life leave your body... then we will decide who is mortal.

---
Zoey: Let's go see what we got...
*Zoey nods, and starts walking towards the loot room.*
*She takes off her helm and smokes a blunt.*

*Gharn blinks*
Gharn: My family? Dria!? Is she here!?
*Follows George eagerly*


*Cal makes a effort to keep swapping languages to confuse the recorders. Considering the number of ancient languages he knows I assume at least a few would be unknown at least for now (Things like Ancient Sumaric, Roman age Latin, Hunnic, Mayan, etc)*


*Quetz nods*
Quetz: No names then... what about titles?


*Thoth is long gone as he used the fire to kinda cover his escape*


*Billy grins and starts tucking revolvers and pistols into his belt*
Billy: Well I'm set for life with guns probably. These are some nasty weapons here.

*Cathy waves the rocket launcher around*

Cathy: I wonder how much stuff I can blow up with this!

*She sticks the rocket launcher on her back and grabs an explosive assault rifle*

Cathy: OH BOY!

*She does some test shots and laughs*

TORGUE: ATTENTION BADASSES! You wanna go home?

*Milo eventually makes his way to the planet*
*finds an old, abandoned Imperial armory and heads inside*
*grabs a fresh set of flak armor, a lasgun, and other miscellaneous equipment*
*also grabs a full face rebreather in case of noxious gas*

*Billy nods*
Billy: Sure Macho Man, I think I'd like that.
*Eager to get home and mess around with all his new guns in the gunrange*

*As I said at a previous date, the room is inaccessible by anything, and can't be reached via the warp either. So Milo is NOT in the room doing whatever he wants, somehow finding functioning weapons, that sort of thing.*

~

*Maiev opens her eyes, and leans on Kara's shoulder*
M; I know. I've been trying to talk to the forest spirits, and by extension, Elune, but they are all silent...
*She sighs, then looks up at Kara*
M: I can't see you. Stop being a shadow, you... you don't have to be ashamed of your looks, if that's what's up...

~

*Thoth teleported himself into a hand, which is grasping onto Thoth's spine from inside*
Figure that the hand belongs to: Long time no see, Scribe...

~

*Denny doesn't say anything to Jason, and just stands at attention, ready to headshot anyone who seems to have ill intent*

*Milo isn't in the Room actually, just on the planet through the power of hand wavium*

*George smiles at Gharn.*
George: Yes, please try to remain calm.
*As George, and Gharn approach the families hab, they see two Eversor assassins, with a Vanus agent walking in.*
V-agent: He's in the bathroom, take him to confines.
*Eversors nod, smash open the bathroom door, and go to grab Cal.
V-Agent: Do not resist them, communing with the Cabal is one of the things that will not be tolerated here. *Looks at Morri and family.* He brought this on himself, and now will be confined. Please do not resist us.
*George looks at Gharn, then at the agents.*
George: What happened?
V-Agent: The one called Cal, communed with what we believe to be unknown xenos forces. Possible the Cabal.
*George is dumbfounded, like seriously dumbfounded at the gak.*
George: Yeah take him away, sorry Gharn. But you can still be with Dria.
---
*Jake remains silent as well, not really trusting Jason.*
---

*Treebeard shakes his head.*
Tb: I.. hate titles.

---
*Zoey frowns at all the weird looking guns.*
Zoey: I guess i'll take something.
*Grabs a assault rifle.*

*Cathy looks at Zoey,Wade,Billy*

Cathy: It was nice to hang out and shoot stuff! I hope we can do it more often. But right now this girl is hungry!

*She pats her stomach and goes to walk out of the arena with her new guns*

TORGUE: I have a ship ready for you when you wanna go! TELL LARRY I SAY HELLO!

*A ship lands out the front of the arena*

*Nero nods*
N: I'll go on your mission. But I can't promise that your 'operatives' will be able to keep up.

*Kara nods and the silhouetted form fades away*
K: I don't know why you'd prefer me look this way.
*sighs and looks down at Maiev's eyes*
K: But I appreciate it.

Jason: I assure they will keep up, Carver accompany the man. Rendezvous with Emma... knowing her she'll find your guys first.
*He turns towards Jake and Denny. Carver follows after Nero, sniper at the ready.*
Jason: Now for your group, I expect you will be fine with housing.. And hope for your support on future operations. A servitor will take you to your rooms.
*Jason quickly walks away, towards the main hall as he now once more has Cal issues.*

---
*Zoey smiles at pats Cathy on the head.*
Zoey: Nice meeting you too, now stay out of trouble.
*Starts walking towards the ship.*
Zoey: Take care gakky world.

*Cathy vibrates at the pat on the head then turns around and hugs Zoey*

Cathy: Ok!

*Holds the hug for a little to long before letting go and waving to the others*

*Hand wavium can't bring him through immeasurable demonic power restricting access to the room's planet, sorry. Enjoy not using him.*

~

*Maiev smiles weakly as she looks upon Kara's face, and tries to not think of what Kara looked like before all the demon gak happened to her*
M: Always...
*She goes back to leaning on Kara's shoulder, partly for comfort, partly so she doesn't have to look at her, but she'd never admit that*

~

*Denny stares at Jason as he walks, then looks at Jake*
D: I can go with a shower. You wanna see if you can gather intel while I'm doing that, or you wanna join me?

*Thoth's eyes go wide and he chokes up a little blood*
Thoth: I-impossible...


*Morri stands up*
Morri: Don't you dare-!
*Cal doesn't physically resist but glares at the assassins*
Cal: You morons! I'm talking to my allies so that we can coordinate efforts to STOP the cabal! Anu! Please would you explain this!
*The Jackal headed man in the mirror watches silently for several seconds before speaking in low gothic with a pronounced accent*
Anu: Ve try to stop dem. Human es here to stay. Ve help dem stay. Kabal es no gud. Dey want human ded. So ve want kabal ded.

*Gharn growls and grows slightly*
Gharn: You get your hands off him!



*Billy gives Cathy a quick hug*
Billy: Stay safe kiddo. Thanks for the adventure!

*Eversor looks down at Cal, and punches him in the chest hard.*
V-agent: You were hiding it by switching your languages with every other word, why the feth would we trust you.
*George facpalms, and a injector shoots out from his garb striking Gharn. A powerful paralyzing drug cycles through his systems.*
George: Sorry Gharn... Cal, you're out of line, if you have allies bring them to our attention not try and hide them! WE don't trust-!
*Jason walks in, and George goes silent.*
Jason to Cal: Again, I am drawn from important business once again cause of you. Now let's hear your friend out.

---
*Jake nods.*
Jake: I will scout-!
*Eddie slaps his back hard.*
Eddie: You go be with the tall lady, and bump uglies in the shower! I'll scout the area!
*Jake reddens, and looks angry at Eddie.*
*Eddie smiling.*

*Morri moves to catch Gharn*

*Anu looks over at Jason*
Anu: Ah. Yoo arr Jaysun yes? Speak Danu?
*Gets a nod from Cal and quickly goes into rapid Danu explaining that Cal was switching languages due to him basically to avoid revealing names and locations to anyone*
Anu: (Translated) The Cabal have a network of spies even outmatching your own. We could not risk one of your humans being one of them and learning locations of our double agents or hidden bases


*Mergoux rolls her eyes at Eddie and Jake then strides into the base to her room*

*Nero nods and look over at Carver*
N: Where's this Emma at?

*Wade wipes a tear from his mask and nods to Cathy*
DP: If you need some help kicking ass, I'll be there.

*Kara kisses the top of Maiev's head, and puts an arm around her*
K: We'll find a way to fix this.

*The figure laughs very slightly, but doesn't move the hand that's holding Thoth's spine at all*
Figure: I will have the child now. Hand him over, and you and your spouse can leave without further harm.
*At the moment, the figure is a shadow in plain view*

~

*Denny almost blushes from underneath her helmet, then nods to Eddie*
D: The people here are dangerous. And they can most likely hear us as we speak. Report everything you find back to either Jake or me.
*She then turns and waits for the servitor*

~

*Maiev sighs, and doesn't voice her doubt*
M: I'm... Sure we will...

~

*Gandrea climbs a tree to see if she can see anything from above the tree-line*
*She's still in a fair bit of pain from being attacked by fel hounds, but hides it*

~

*Elise is holding Daveth close to her for comfort*

~

*Illidan eventually has enough of the waiting, cause he's been meditating for some time, and has finally figured out what to do*
*He stands, and moves over to Kara and Maiev*
I: There is a haven up north. The humans that have lived have gathered there, and are pulling everyone else alive over there. I shall go and lend my aid, perhaps they will be of use to me.
*Maiev grits her teeth at the moment being ruined by her greatest enemy*
M: And you're telling us this why?
I: So you can go there. As much as I don't want to admit it, you are key to beating back the demons.
*Maiev grits her teeth more, to the point where they almost break*
*Illidan smiles at angering his foe, and beats his wings once, then takes off*
*Flies towards Mannoroth instead, cause he saw him as well*

*Thoth shakes his head*
Thoth: N-never!
*Starts working a spell*


*Marethyu's off helping someone*

*Jason sighs.*
Jason: Sure. You think one of my agents work for the Cabal? From my understanding there are only three humans who worked for them, most humans won't work with something planning on killing their entire race.
*He crosses his arms, and looks pissed.*
Jason: You again know absolutely nothing about our organization, we are a branch of the imperium more secretive then even the fething inquisition. Understand? Do not doubt my organization again, or sully it with insults of might being traitorous with a xenos race..
---
*Carver looks at Nero.*
Carver: Enjoy this time we are away from her... I loath... her.

--
Eddie: Of course Dinh, you be gentle with Jake!
*Jake exhales, clenches his fists, but nods to Eddie. He then follows after the servitor as well.*
*Eddie walks off, and starts exploring. He is then followed by a Callidus assassin.*
--
*Mannoroth frowns as he senses Illidan.*
Man: Ah.. gak.. here comes the betrayer.

---
*David follows after Gandrea, and looks at her up in the tree.*
David: You okay?

*Cathy bows to the trio before skipping off*

Cathy: You'll be the first ones I call when an ass needs kicked! Till then, cya!

*Anu cocks his head*
Anu: If you say so humani.
*The mirror flashes bright white once and clears to reflect the bathroom again*

*Cal looks rather annoyed at Jason*
Cal: I'm not stupid enough to try and undermine you quite so badly in your own base. Give me some credit Jason. I wouldn't endanger my family, my children over something so stupid.


*Billy waves cheerfully*

*The figure sighs, and clenches his hand around Thoth's spine a bit harder*
Figure: I think I made that like a request, sorry, I shouldn't have. Take off whatever wards you have on the child, and hand it to me. I won't think twice about snapping your spine and doing it myself, I just prefer not wasting the time. Your choice, Thoth.

~

*Ilildan flies towards Mannoroth, and feels his overwhelming power, but is still pretty sure on what he has to do*

~

*Denny grits her teeth as well, then sighs*
D: Not breaking his neck is getting harder by the day.

~

*Gandrea looks down at David, then nods and slides down the tree to get down to him*
*She nods, then sits down against the tree, partly cause she wants to sit, and partly because she wants to hide her cuts and stuff from everyone*

*Thoth cries out in pain*
Thoth: Why... do you.. want my daughter...?

*The shuttle waits for Wade,Billy and Zoey to be on before departing*

*Curt takes a stroll around the base*

*Marla sees Curt as she stop by her door getting some air and looking somewhat lost as what to do about now *
Hey Curt, glad some of us made it out that hell, you come across anyone else out in the wilderness ?

...

*Maria resting somewhat and taking time to clean and mantain her armour and weaponry*

...

*Marinalia has gone for a shower as feeling clean and warm is somewhat a luxury to be enjoyed when can on this planet about now*
*sighs happily while showering and enjoys feeling of hot running water*

...

*Furia is I don,t know where right now...*

*Mergoux, Black Hawk and the others who aren't being assaulted by overzealous Imperium lackies probs get cleaned up, shower, change of clothes if possible and sleep*

*Curt shakes his head at Marla*

Curt: Afraid not. Me and Black Hawk got out by the skin of our teeth. We set ourselves up on a mountain some ways away from here...

*He looks around*

Curt: I wonder how many others have been scooped up by these guys. Hopefully all of them...

*Marla*

Aye.. Hope they got more groups.
Far as I know anyway, my family mostly, morri and hers, santingo and his partner joalia, thoeth and the Barbarian Furia are unkown, they did not join us here with their daughter.

I hered some doors last few hours before sleeping so maybe some more came, or just people wandering n getting food. Hope the first.

Forrest, came across elders, and later santingo.
*seems worried for Milo still as no sign of him*
...

*Marinalia enjoys her shower and relises she left towel on bed*
This would be a interesting time for visitors...

*tidies up her hair first in mirror and dries it off abit with a hand towell*

*Curt nods*

Curt: I'll talk to the head honcho later, see if I can't get a list of the people that have been recovered. I'll let you know who, if I manage to find out.

*Curt smiles weakly and rubs the back of his neck*

Curt: Well. Have a good day, I'm going to have a look around. Still have nod idea where the heck anything is.

*Marla*
Aye.. Good to see you alive.
Hopefully if you are others might be.
*slight hint of hope tinged with sadness in voice*

Ration hall.i think is 3rd left. I know that. These rooms seem to be set up with small shower rooms, simple bed etc, there basic but they better than out there.

One word of warning... These guys seem pretty serious... Just be careful, they are not the regular run of the mill imperial troops.

*Curt nods to Marla before heading of and wandering around the base*

*The figure sighs again*
Figure: Simple. She's the first human-elder hybrid born for a very long time. My siblings and I want to see what it can handle. Now, stop trying to stall, and hand me the child.

*Thoth nods*
Thoth: Oh well in that case, I would like to observe as well.


*Morgan wanders for a while, eventually finding Maril's room and knocks*
Morgan: Maril? You awake?


*Merg rummages through her bag for a bit and pulls out a few rotted pieces of fruit. She frowns and starts throwing out a bunch of food while muttering about a faulty Icebox then after overfilling her room's garbage can she goes in search of a eatery*


*Black Hawk goes to find somewhere to eat too*


*Billy's relaxing on the shuttle, sleeping soundly*

*Marlil *
Yeah... Give me a second..just got out shower.

*opens door a minute later In a t shirt and underwear *
Hey... Sorry, just had to find something more substantial than a towel.

*smiles*
Any news, or just came to see me?

...

*Maria looks out her door*
Oh hey Merg.. Glad to ser your here.
*yawns*
You after any where particular?

*Nero raises an eyebrow*
N: What's the problem? Is she just an ass?

*Kara squeezes Maiev slightly*
K: We will have to... kill Lusacan. Destroy him.

*Wade heads onto the ship and sits down*
DP: Well that was fun. And we'll probably need these new guns when we get back home.

*Merg stares at Maria for several seconds, somewhat taken aback at being greeted in such a friendly manner*
*She pauses briefly then nods*
Merg: Uh... just down the hall a ways... Back that way. Do you know who else is alive?


*Morgan looks flustered for a moment then sighs and gives Maril a hug*
Morgan: I... I dunno.. I just need something stable... a friendly face... I feel like a prisoner here...


OOC: Be back I dunno when. Got a thing after Church today that's gonna run until at least 4PM my time

*The figure sighs and clenches more*
Figure: Just give me the fething baby you stalling fossil.

~

*Maiev is still pissed at Illidan for talking to her, but nods along to Kara*
M: I don't know what to do first... Face whatever things are attacking us, or go after your former master...

*Maria*
Alive. While ones I know anyway.
Me, my family bar Milo are here. Morri and hers came in later, some with us, Santiago, his partner Joalia, Curt made it to alongside black hawk.

Thoeth and Furia are somewhere else, Ra too.

...

*Marilania returns the hug and lets him in her room*
Come on in... I ain't got a suite but its more comfortable than outside.
I think we all feel abit on edge here, plus the hell outside whatever it is... We all out of comfort zones.

Any one else been found yet?

*Kara sighs softly*
K: Whichever one is causing more pain. Lusacan will stay by his cave, unless he is desperate.
Watch your words, Herald.
*Kara closes her eyes at Lusacan's words and tightens her hold on Maiev slightly*

*Jason gives Cal a hard stare.*
Jason: You have no clue how much of a nuisance you have been, to be honest i expected more resistance from other parties that occupy the "room" But no I get it from the medic, and the cranky wife.
*He then shoots a glare at Morri, and points at her.*
Jason: Say one more thing hateful thing about the imperium, and I will bury you. I am sick of you people spitting on not only my government, but my bloody religion. That is your one, and final warning.
*Turns to Cal.*
Jason: Yes I just threatened your wife, but no there is nothing you can do. Suck up your pride, and shut up. I first asked for your help but now AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO LOSE MY TRUST, AND IF I WAS LIKE 99 PERCENT OF THE IMPERIUM YOU WOULD BE DEAD ALREADY YOU STUPID FETHING BIRD, BUT FOR SOME REASON YOU THINK I AM BEING HARSH ON YOU? ONE MORE FETHING COMPLAINT, ONE MORE TIME YOU TRY TO CONTACT OUTSIDE FORCES IN MY BASE, OR TRY TO FIGURE MORE WAYS TO OBSTRUCT MY MISSION, I STOP WITH THIS OUT OF CHARACTER BS AND HAVE MY MEN TEAR YOU APART RIGHT BEFORE YOUR FAMILIES EYES.
*Eversors draw their silver energy sword.*
Jason: Understand?

---
*Carver shrugs.*
Carver: She is very direct, and doesn't like... anything. Except for the emperor... Do us both a favor, and please refrain from insulting the emperor.
*Gun shots, and insane womans laughter echo around the forest.*
Carver: Also no sudden movements... she's a little.. twitchy.

---
*Jake sighs, and nods.*
Jake: Agreed... Well.. at least we have a shower.
*Keeps following along.*

---
*David stands over Gandrea.*
David: Thanks.. for saving me.
---
*Mannoroth, and demons wait for Illidan. All look ready for a fight.*

*Nero nods and pushes his hands into his pockets*
N: Don't know who your Emperor is, anyway.
*listens to the gunshots and laughter*
N: That's her?

*Maiev responds with holding Kara closer, but tries to not look at her, and does so without being noticed, hopefully*
M: Your dragon thing dies first. I'll see if I can get some help from the human settlers.
*Maiev says that, but she has no intention of doing that, and wants to go kill Lucy without Kara being in danger*

~

*Denny eventually gets to the showers, and starts getting out of her armour, which is a long and labourous process*
D: Jesus it's been a while since I've gotten out of that...

~

*Gandrea holds her arm, and nods a few times, not really wanting to meet David's gaze cause she knows he'll see her pain, though she doesn't know he can probably feel it anyway*

~

*Illidan gets over the demon camp, and laughs*
I: Well then, this is something I was not expecting to see so soon. Are you afraid, Annihilan?

*Kara frowns*
K: Do we need to bring them? It could be a death sentence for them.

*Carver sighs.*
Carver: Just don't talk about him, it's for the best.
*He hears the wild laughter come to a end, and a Emma can be seen walking towards the pair.*
*She is covered in demon gore, and holds appears to be giggling. When she reaches the pair, she tilts her head at Nero.*
Emma: We I already don't like like you.

---
*Jake follows after Denny, and takes off his duster.*
Jake: Yeah... don't get to comfortable out of it, I have a feeling we'll be going into action soon.
*Makes sure his Magnum is within reach of the shower.*

---
*Mannoroth frowns for the first time being here.*
Man: More annoyed, what do you want Betrayer!
*He grabs his double sided sword, and sighs.*
---
*David feels Gandrea's pain, but also knows about her pride so he doesn't say anything about her pain.*
David: You... er... hungry? Maybe I could get you a apple?

*Tb will allow this cause he understands that apples are produced by trees to be eaten so their seeds are more dispersed from the mother plant.*

*Nero shrugs*
N: Can't say I don't feel the same way about you. But we're going on a mission together. Don't know where, but there's devils to kill. Any other comments you want to get out of the way?

*Curt walks back into the main living area in the base after figuring out where all the basic stuff like the kitchen and showers is*

*Cal sets his jaw firmly and nods silently*
*His eyes betray his true emotion, fear tinged with worry for his children*


*Scatty's still unconscious on the sofa*


*Merg's getting something to eat from somewhere*


*Black Hawk's standing outside the base watching the treeline*


*Thoth winces as he motions to hand Calluna over*
Thoth: I just... want... to watch...
*Calluna has aged to be about 5-6 now and is clearly terrified of the demon. She clings tightly to Thoth's hand as he tries to hand her over*

*Voskrinod stands up and stretches*
V: I'm going to go for a walk. See what this place has to offer.
*heads off to check out what he can of the base*
*Aerin just grunts in acknowledgement, and goes back to sharpening his silver sword with a whetstone*

*Marilania props some pillows and sits on bed*
Come on sit down, or I can get dressed and go grab a bite to eat or see who about public areas, least we have one thing that makes sense though.

How your family holding up?
*looks slightly concerned given the time frames*
*puts other thought aside as seems to need support*

...

*Maria goes for walk round the housing area seeing what is there and also maybe to see if anyone new arrived*

*briefly stops by a small shrine area to light a candle to the lost and generally just have a quiet moment to reflect on things*

*Morgan smiles slightly and sits down*
Morgan: I dunno... it's... horrible. It's like they're keeping us prisoner...


*Merg had shaken her head as she doesn't know many names of folk*

*Marinalia sighs*
I doubt anyone here is entirely quite truly free.
Its still someone else base. We are not home, we are at best guests here.

Just try to stay out of trouble... They not gonna be forgiving.

*tries to raise mood smiling slightly*
All considered at times And yet you seem more phased by my clothing or lack of it.
*laughs weakly*

...

*Maria sees vosk pass and waves after lighting a candle for Milo and one for the imperials in a small, fairly plain but still a shrine*
Hey, foods down corridor on the left... Seems most important thing given what most of us seem to have gone through.



...

*Curt trots back to his room with a little snack*

*Morgan nods then blinks and reddens slightly*
Morgan: I err... I guess my mind is in other places...


*Merg is raiding the food stores, basically cramming more than should be possible into her bag. Canned food, fresh food, dry food, all of it vanishes into her bag, which appears to be empty. If someone were to look inside the bag it'd be shrouded in darkness*

Voskrinod nods to Maria and smiles*
V: Thank you. I was just trying to see what I could, and perhaps better acquaint myself with our hosts.

*Assuming that Curt and Santiago got assigned to the same area cause they're human, Santiago nods to Curt from where he sits*
S: Glad to see more of us survived the attack.

*Marinalia smiles*
Other places. Sure you when,t curious when I went for swim then.
*gives a cheaky look but also kind and places his hand over her heart so he can feel it *
See... Just human. Nothing scary, nothing to fear. Just me.
If I was uncomfortable if not let you.

*either pauses after reply or yawns and slowly closes eyes and lies down*
*yawns*
Your welcome to stay... It helps me with the nightmares.
*closes eyes and falls asleep a few minutes later. *

...

*Maria decides to remain at little chapel reflecting on things as quiet and kinds feels like place that its fitting*
*quietly respectful and tires not to bother anyone if they wanted to use it*

*replies to vosk*
Not a problem... If you only just got here a propper meal however gakky is still better than nothing about now.
Not sure, I've not seen them about much. I guess they be somewhere in the bases centre seems logical.

...

*Marla dozes off into a rather worried sleep and keeps having nightmares about Milo*

Ooc night.

*Voskrinod nods*
V: Take care, Maria.
*walks off to the kitchen, and reaches out with his mind at the same time to see what he can sense*
*avoids Culexes assassins as he does so, cause entering the mind of a soulless human wouldn't feel good for him*

*Morgan debates for a bit then curls up next to Maril and puts his arm around Maril*


*Merg finishes supplying herself for the next few weeks in case she were to run out of food*
*If Vosk could read her mind it'd be a dark, dark place. Full of hate for those who hurt the innocent or weak, worry over the assassins all over the place and a cold emptiness*


*Black Hawk goes to wherever Santiago and Curt are and nods to Santiago*
BH: Good to see you made it. Joalia make it too? I don't see her.

*Voskrinod only skims the surface of Merg's mind, and what he finds only disappoints him*
*walks into the kitchen and nods to her in person*
V: Hello Mergoux. Settling in alright?

*Joalia is next to Santiago, and has been there for awhile*
*Ignoring that part of the post then, cause Black Hawk isn't blind, Santiago nods to Black Hawk*
S: Thoth, Ra, and the princesses were with my group too. But Thoth left after a disagreement, and Ra is searching for Horus.

*Curt nods to Santi/BH/Joal*

*He tilts his head at Santi*

Curt: Hmmm. What kind of disagreement?

*Santiago sighs*
S: He didn't trust Jason, the leader of this place. And a few heated words led to him teleporting away with some barbarian woman and her child.

*I kinda assumed Santiago had left Joalia to rest while he did stuff so just me being stupid*
*Black Hawk nods*
BH: Thoth? What did he do? Insult our... host?
*Nods along to Santiago's story*
BH: That sounds like him. I try to avoid the arrogant donkey-cave when possible.


*Merg looks over, and nods*
Merg: Better than roughing it I guess. I hate hunting game and I was out of food. It's good to be clean again too.
*Bites into a apple and looks around her surroundings*
Merg: We need a plan. We've grouped up at last, but we need a way to fight the demons and get rid of them. Sitting around isn't going to help us in the long run

*nah, Santiago has just been chilling with Joalia in their assigned room*
*Santiago sighs again*
S: I'd like to disagree, but that entire situation was avoidable.

*Voskrinod nods*
V: I agree. I'm not used to sitting by while my home is attacked, even if this place has not been my home for long.

*Curt frowns*

Curt: Thoth sounds like a bit of an idiot. No offence...

*Merg nods and her hand trembles slightly*
Merg: They... They need to be eradicated for what they did to the world...


*BH nods*
BH: What was the altercation over?

*Gandrea looks around not really seeing any apple trees, but nods anyway, cause it just gives her some alone time*

~

*Denny sighs, and nods*
D: Yeah. I know.
*She keeps her M6 close-by as well as she showers in her bodysuit, cause she needs to wash that as well*
*Eventually takes her bodysuit off so she can knock out two birds with one stone*

~

*Maiev grits her teeth kinda, then nods*
M: Well I doubt I- er, we can do it alone...

~

*The figure takes Calluna's hand, and smiles*
Figure: You have a nice day now.
*His hand phases out of Thoth's back, and teleports Calluna and himself into a brightly lit chamber, that doesn't actually look demonic*
*The figure himself is no longer clad in shadows, but is the visage of a 8 year old boy in some royal attire*
Figure: Greetings friend! Do you want to play a game?

~

*Joal is forever beside Santiago*

*Calluna looks scared and confused AF and looks around wildly*
*She whimpers and shies away from the stranger*


*Thoth collapses to the ground, panting in pain and curses*
Thoth: I will have to find her. Furia, I will send you to a safe place for now.
*He pats Furia's head which whisks her away to Ra who's kneeling next to a river, observing footprints*

*Kara sighs and nods slowly*
K: Alright. But an army isn't the way to beat a Blight.
*uses a finger to tilt Maiev's head up*
K: But we will do this.

*Santiago shakes his head*
S: The housing for the elders, and Thoth was threatened after using magic against an assassin. It really was a waste of time, the entire scene.

*Vosk nods*
V: These demons have nothing for us but ruin. The sooner that they're gone, the better.

*Curt sighs*

Curt: We can't beat the fething demons if we are to busy bickering amongst ourselves... You'd think a person who is over a million years old would get that...

*Santiago nods*
S: We need help to save this planet. There's a price to pay to win the war, but its worth it.

*BH nods*
BH: Sounds like it. A pity. He's too useful to lose
*BH looks over to Curt*
BH: A million? No way, the max life expectancy for Elders is 500k. I dunno how old Thoth is, but my bet is he's getting up there in years.


*Merg nods and finishes her apple*
Merg: Yeah... I'm going to see what they've got around here.
*She nods to Vosk and walks off to explore the base*

*Voskrinod follows after Merg*
V: Would you mind some company? I need something to do, besides sitting in a room.

*Curt frowns*

Curt: I'm 48 and I understand that what he did is stupid. So he really should pull his gak together, I mean even if he was only 50 years old I would expect him to understand that...

*BH nods*
BH: I know. He's... disconnected from social norms. For all his great knowledge, he doesn't know gak on how to talk with a man


*Merg glances at Vos*
Merg: Fine. Let's go.

d*Maiev has no choice but to stare into Kara's eyes, and she reluctantly smiles*
M: Yeah, we will. You and me, and whoever else is stupid enough to come with us...

~

*The boy figure smiles, and manifests a drawing book*
Boy: Here, we'll draw something nice! And then we can see how fast you learn languages!

*Kara smirks and hugs Maiev*
K: Agreed. Should we go now?

*Calluna shies away still*
*She finally speaks in a tiny voice, weak from never before haven been used*
*She speaks Ancient Egyptian without realizing*
Calluna: Want... Papa... Mama...


*Merg wanders around the base, poking her head where it probably doesn't belong as she tries to find any alternate escape routes and looks for a gym or something*

*Curt frowns even more*

Curt: Disconnected for hundreds of thousands of years? Sounds fething ridiculous...

*Curt sighs*

Curt: I'm going to go look for the man in charge...

*Santiago nods*
S: If he wants you to find him, I'm sure you won't be waiting long to talk to him.

*Voskrinod frowns at Merg*
V: Careful where you go, Mergoux. There is more than meets the eye with these people.

*Merg shrugs*
Merg: Sure. I just want somewhere to do something. I can't just sit around and do nothing, ...although I've been meaning to add to new inkings myself, so maybe I'll just do that.


*BH shrugs*
BH: That's how it is for most. Thoth's just... distant from everyone, even his own kind. He spends all his time in his lab or library, not interacting with anyone at all

Jason: Good.
*He walks out, eversors in tow.*
*George stands there.*
George: Gharn should wake up soon, try not to cause any more trouble... please.
---

*Emma gnashes her teath, and grins under her mask.*
Emma: No j-just need NEED directives..
*Caver sighs.*
Carver: Our MO is to recon the closest demonic citadel to us, from there we can figure out if they a leader and eliminate them.

---
*Jake hugs Denny, happy they are alive, and somewhat safe.*
*Helps her wash, yet makes sure to stay alert for threats.*

---
*Merg meets her steward, cause everyone has one they just don't know it till they cause trouble.*
*A Callidus assassin stops Merg from walking into somewhere she shouldn't.*
Callidus: Please do not go in there.

---
*David runs off to find a apple, and after some time (and almost having a altercation with a leshen.) He manages to find a pear.*
*Returns to Gandrea, and hands her the pear.*

*Nero nods*
N: Off we go then.

*Voskrinod nods to the Callidus*
V: Apologies.
*looks back at Merg*
V: You apply your own tattoos? Normally the Skelligans have someone else do it for them.

*Morri and Cal both glare coldly at George as they go to rest Gharn against the wall*
*Cal looks around and addresses the room in general*
Cal: I'd like some medical supplies if possible. I'd like to tend to my cousin-in-law.
*He gestures to Scatty who's still in a coma and starting to look ill, her skin waxy and paler than normal*


*Merg frowns defiantly at the assassin*
Mergoux: Why?
*She looks at Vos*
Mergoux: Some of them. I do it when I have no-one to aide me. Most of them, especially the bigger ones weren't done by me

*Curt walks around the base looking for the the man in charge*

Curt: (Where could this guy be?...)

*Voskrinod nods*
V: I could assist you, if you'd like. My talents are more than just for combat.
*glances at the assassin*
V: And if the woman doesn't want you to enter a room in her own home, then I wouldn't enter it.

*Merg frowns at Vos*
Merg: You've done this before?

*Voskrinod smirks*
V: Surprised? I spent time in Skellige, and Zerrikania doesn't forbid them either. So, could I help?

*Merg pauses, thinking for a moment then nods*
Merg: I suppose so. It'd be hard for me to do this one anyways. I've not seen any mirrors and I was going to put in on my chin.
*She nods and takes Vos to her room/area/thing and pulls a medieval style tattooing kit from her bag then quickly sketches the design she wanted and explains how she wants it done*
*The design is a thin strip of vertical runes from her chin down her throat into her collar*

*Voskrinod looks down at the design, then looks back up at Merg*
V: Mergoux, I won't be needing your tools. My own talents are from my magic. I hope that's alright with you.

*Merg is slightly cautious but nods*
Merg: Erm... Alright... go ahead

*Furia before being teleported rather angry at losing her daughter *
You find Calluna. D....

*finds self by Ra and looks round suprised*
*draws sword *

Who you. Name?

...

*Marilania smiles feeling a familiar warm presence as she wakes slightly and relaxes *
*quietly*
So you did mean it after all.

*tries to not wake Morgan but cannot help body temp rising back from a cooler level as she slept *

...

*Maria eventually heads into thr small eating area with a arm round her sister who looking more upset at things*

Hey. Id say morning but times lost any meaning.

*Marla waves but just goes over to reheat some rations and make some gakky ration coffee with minor evidence been crying*

*Morgan mumbles in his sleep in a language that Maril probably wouldn't understand*


*Ra blinks*
Ra: You? You're Thoth's baby mamma. What's going on?
*Pauses*
Ra: Right, sorry. We met before at the waterfall remember? I am Ra

*Furia looks over and recognises him though takes a second as only saw him a few times and sheaths sword*

Ra.
Yes. Calluna mother.
Monster take baby. Thoeth say find.

*struggles to get her feelings and meaning across in Barbarian english*
Thoeth... Trust then lose child.. Meant to be strong.

....

*Marilania does not speak ancient languages bar a old version of Martian, mainly high gothic, regular language and regular Martian. *

*quietly in old martian language *
Least one good thing came of all this bad and destruction.
Hope Morri n cal know he,s here...

*tries to sit up slowly and stretch abit and move hair out her face*

...

*Marla and Maria are sat in eating area quietly talking as Maria tries to look after her sister and both eat whatever ration meals they could fine available to them*

*Curt continues snooping around*

*Morgan mumbles again, this time in English*
Morgan: Mmmf... g'morning...
*Yawns and stretches but doesn't sit up*
Morgan: Wha time izzit?


*Ra frowns*
Ra: Even Thoth has his limits. He has trouble with surprises. He can't see anything coming no matter how obvious. I'm sure he'll get her back, don't worry. The Elder could blow up a planet if he set his mind to it

*Marilania forgets to switch language a second and replies in Martian for a second or two*
Breakfast.... morning, around breakfast roughly.

There's a shower if you need one, or we could grab some rations from the eating area.

...

*Furia thinks on her wording but still angry st loss of her daughter *
Powerful... Just want Calluna safe.
Plant.. Planet not care.... Calluna want.

Langu.... Language not good. Hard . Explain.

*Morgan sits up tiredly and hugs Maril*
Morgan: I dunno... M'not hungry, I might just lie in for a bit. You sleep well?
*Smiles and kisses her cheek*


*Ra looks over at Furia*
Ra: Hm... World yes? Thoth could destroy the world if he wanted to. He is powerf- er, strong. He will find your daughter


*Black Hawk gets up and walks outside to watch the treeline*


*Thoth is looking around the planet for Calluna with his temper increasing to boiling point*
*Anything he comes across he either drains instantly or blows up*

*Marilania smiles and returns it happily*
I slept well ernough. Some nightmares are hard to forget though. Not the worst. You helped.

Did Gharn make it back. Dira needed him. ?
*smiles*
I know you helped keep me going.. Maria is trying keep Marla going but she taking things harder.
...

*Furia *
I hope right.
Clan last of us... Need strong.
*sighs*
Mari... Maria, Mali learn me some words of yours.
Planet broke before more...

...

*Marla and Maria sat talking and wave to anyone who enters the eating area but family are fairly tight knit right now. *

*Morgan nods*
Morfan: Gharn's safe. Mum called in the middle of the night. She said she wanted me ti stick with you for some reason. Something about nit getting me mixed up in something...
*He sighs*
Morgan: I think she thinks that if I stay with you I might not be so singled out by the assassins...
*Kisses again and smiles*
Morgan we helped each other, how about that?


*Ra nods*
Ra: Hm. How good is your tracking?


*BH walks back inside and sees the M's but decides not to get invlved*

*Gandrea stares at the pear for a while, not understanding what it is*
*She scoots over a bit for David to sit down next to the tree as well, and sniffs the pear*

~

*Maiev reluctantly stands and nods*
M: I guess so...

~

*The boy smiles, and pats Calluna on the back*
Boy(in flawless Ancient Egyptian): What a wonderful voice! Who taught you how to speak?

~

*Denny also eventually hugs Jake, and doesn't let go, cause she's been wanting to do so for a while but hasn't had the chance to*
D: I swear to god we will get out of this...

*Calluna is still scared because she's been with her parents her whole live, never knowing life without them, plus being in a new location with no idea how she got there, plus the strange boy is freaking her out*
*She flinches as she's patted and speaks again, this time in Latin, again without realizing she's switching languages*
*She knows all this because in addition to giving her power Thoth also imbued her with knowledge rooted deep in her subconscious. Even she doesn't know everything she knows if that makes sense*
Calluna: Leave...me...alone! Want Papa! Mama! Mamaaaa!
*Wails for her mother and starts crying then curls up into a ball*

*Marilania*
Maybe, also I seem to keep your temper in check at times.
If you don,t fight with them, they seem to bother you less. They strict, but not entirely unfair.

*smiles and plays with his hand*
True.. We make a good team.
And least Morri ... Trusts me. I guess she worked out the obvious.
*very trusting round Morgan*

...

*Furia*
Track.... Track ok. Mostly bear, deer for hunt.
... World broken... Harder.

Can try.

...

*Marla and Maria wave over and Maria keeps a arm round her sisters shoulder, both seem distracted by events and Marla seems to be relying on her sister more than normal*
*Maria*
Hey, sorry, things are... Difficult right now.

*Marla nods sadly leaning against Maria*

*Morgan nods and smiles comfortably*
Morgan: Yeah... I know she does. She never really distrusted you, why would she?


*Ra nods*
Ra: I need you to help me find my cousin Horus. He's very much like me so you're looking for bootprints. I've been wandering around for over a day but I can't track for gak


*Black Hawk nods*
BH: Well just let me know if you need anything


OOC: Oh, just noticed. Happy 20,000th post Vanden!

*Marinalia*
She fell out with me abit after Dira got hurt. Seems so long ago now.. Was not sure if id lost her trust. Not seen her much thanks to events.
Cal was kind though, helped me. Kinda probably meant we ended up we..

*relaxes and generally enjoys the company *

...

*Furia nods*
Will try... You protect, I track..
Horus big yes? Like you?
*tracks based on boot weight, size and needs a average to look for*

...

*Maria nods*
Thanks... We just need tine, I'm too experienced helping with things like this..
*sighs*
I've been there myself.

*Marla nods*
Milo... Not seen him since attack. Never been separated this long.

OOC Oh ew. 20,000 posts of cancer.

Bic *The boy's smile twitches slightly, then sits down beside Calluna and pushes a plate of beautiful looking panna cotta towards Calluna*
Boy(in perfect latin): You can see them soon, sweet princess, but first you have to eat!
*The boys voice is soft and friendly, but the essence within him is pure darkness, so yay for split personalities*

*Morgan nods*
Morgan: She was just worried...
*Smiles and just cuddles*


*Ra nods*
Ra: A bit bigger than me. Heavier too.


*Black Hawk nods sadly*
BH: We've just got to hope he's out there somewhere... I'm just glad Billy wasn't here when this all went down


*Calluna looks at the boy carefully with her purple pupils and then slowly tries some of the dessert*
*She seems surprised at the taste but hungrily eats it then looks at the boy*
Calluna: Soon? When soon?

OOC: Nahhh, maybe 18,472 posts of cancer, but there were at least a few good ones in there.
Also Imma sleep now, g'night

Ooc first 20k club member.

*Marilania leans back and just returns cuddles*
True... Maria seems to like you so guess it works both ways.
Family are always making life interesting.

...

*Furia nods and starts tracking carefully and keen to not leave tracks herself if can help it*
Can try....

...

*Marla nods*
Hope he safe... We been together a while.
*plays with wedding ring absent mindly*

*Maria*
Aye.. Hope they got warning. We probbly could use the back up.
