*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...
