**War Kitten**

Well, you don't really have a "pulse" so to speak, but I can monitor your brain waves in a similar fashion. It's not important though. Keep going on your journey

**Verviedi**

++Oh, you're monitoring the electrical impulses in my central processor?

That's quite interesting. I'll have to keep in mind that extreme emotional shifts are very noticeable on readings of me.++

*Ducks underneath drone*

**2BlackJack1**

*walks past two immortals, who stare at Verviedi and Co'tor as they pass*

Do not worry, he's... A pet. Yes, a pet, nothing more.

++Only the true leaders of this place know of our mission. The common rabble barely recognize your sentience. Thankfully, they know to not mess with one of a higher status.++

**Verviedi**

Immortals are non-sentient? I thought they were capable of parsing combat-related data.

*Takes a look at a massive plate of glass, behind which is a Tomb Spyder repairing a Scarab*

That's actually pretty cute.

**Buttery Commissar**

[Looks around] ++ What's this about killing me? ++

[Gets off sofa and sits under dining table]

**War Kitten**

Nothing about killing you, 2BJ1 commented on how my training would cause me to open fire on something Verviedi saw. I replied that if I actually was under the influence of my training I would have already shot everyone here
*shrugs, begins playing cards with the psyker girl*
*offers a hand of cards to BC*

**Buttery Commissar**

[Blinks] You're talking with the Necron about killing people?

...

...

[Eye twitches] [Joins in on card game]

[Psyker girl offers a lollipop] [Accepts and chews it pensively]

**2BlackJack1**

No, it's just they tend to be stubborn in their belief that others races are inferior to the point of not being considered sentient. Regular Warriors might not have sentience though. Their biotransference wasn't the most well done out of the necrontyr. That honor goes to Overlords and their bodyguard.

**War Kitten**

No, I was talking to Verviedi about his erratic brain wave activity and the necron joined in on the vox channel. Calm down BC, I'm not planning on killing anyone, I actually like you guys.
*continues playing cards nonchalantly*

**2BlackJack1**

++Nice cover up, astartes++

*looks at Verviedi*

What? I can't amuse myself after a several century slumber and an attempted murder by your hand? I think stirring the pot is a minor taste of evening the cards. Especially how your shot destroyed most of my memory after my Awakening.

**ZergSmasher**

*Burrows through floor of Orrery building.*

"Never underestimate a Zerg with a mission!"

*Head starts throbbing painfully*

"That floor must be harder than I thought...why is the tunnel spinning...think I need a carry from here on..."

*Passes out. Four Zerglings emerge from the hole and start carrying toward the others*

**2BlackJack1**

*shakes head slowly at ZS*

I don't know how you that that would work. But good job, you woke up the attack scarab defence system.

*scarabs start flying out of small holes in the walls, swarming into the tunnels. Some defect towards Co'tor and Verviedi*

Oh dear, forgot to override the defence systems to let you guys through.

**Buttery Commissar**

...! [Backs further away under table] [Sound of pistol cocking]

**War Kitten**

*sighs*
*drags BC out from under the table and takes the pistol from him*
Calm down will you? There are no necrons coming for you, they're all going after ZS.

**Buttery Commissar**

[Growls and attempts to bite War Kitten on the arm whilst being moved]
[Scrambles free and sits back behind sofa] [Pulls blanket over the back and makes a fort to sit in]

**2BlackJack1**

Ok, there's the room with the Orrery. No time to waste.

*quickly ushers Verviedi and Co'tor into the room, and seals the door shut before any scarabs can get in.*

Now we just need to find which star that needs to be destroyed, and then I can find a way to call off the scarabs.

**War Kitten**

*facepalms* Our Commissar is a child. *looks at psyker girl* no offense. *she shrugs* *to BC* if you come out there will be cookies, and a hat catalog *holds up magazine*

**Buttery Commissar**

[Tucks up knees and stays under blanket, growling]
[Little psyker walks up and touches BC on the head through the blanket]

...? [Falls asleep]

**ZergSmasher**

*Wakes up*

"That is a LOT of scarabs coming this way. We need some Banelings!"

*A bunch of Zerg Banelings come through the hole in the tunnel floor, exploding when the Scarabs attack them. The acid then dissolves the scarabs until very few are actually still standing.*

"That was effective. Now to take care of the stragglers..."

*Shoots needle spines at remaining Scarabs, destroying them. A Zergling tries to eat one of them, but only hurts its mouth.*

"They're not edible, stupid!"

**Selym**

Hey, guys? Which way to the nearest battle?

**thenoobbomb**

There's no battle anymore, I just blew up the enemy spawn.

**Verviedi**

*Begins railgunning Scarabs*

*Tomb Spyder begins repairing them*

Not cute! Not cute!

**Selym**

So... No chance of glory?

Yeah... I'm just going to sit over here.

*sits in a corner*

**2BlackJack1**

*walks over to the tomb spyder and rips its head off*

Good thing that is repairable damage. I don't won't to cause any real harm here, my allies are ones I'd like to keep. Now, which star needs termination? After that star is detonated I'm going to have to find which other stars also need to be destroyed to counter the damage, or gravity is not going to be anyone's friends when solar systems start disappearing.

**Selym**

Why are you detonating stars?

**Verviedi**

*Points*

See that disappearing star that's surrounded by a silver and black cloud of swarming death?

That's the one.

*Looks around for the first time*

Holy feth, this place is gorgeous. I love the wall engravings.

**2BlackJack1**

Because an ork has dropped nanites onto a world, which has then been consumed for them to swell their numbers. Obliterating the star they orbit is the only option to stop them.

That swarm is incredible. A true shame it couldn't be captured instead.

*extends a small, very thin needle out of an index finger and starts tapping on several stars, who then disappear off of the map*

Yes, I do love the look of this place.

**Selym**

Sounds dramatic. Need a hand with anything?
