*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*
