-I believe the words Novus Waterson used were "study in natural habitat". They won't interfere, just guard the area to protect civillians and contain the entrance to the ColFed side so that anomalies can't pass through.-

*maria*

Habitat... hmmm there choice of words are... intresting...

long as they do not bother life here i doubt anyone care to bother them...

they aint done much bare probe soil and stick those stickers on stuff right now.

*relaxed*
and well, hope things are working out for you... whatever a AI does round here anyway

-Oh, all I do is watch your daughter sleep. It's relaxing.-
*Waits a moment*
-That isn't true. I have a directive against doing that.-

*Maria *

Hmmm....*about to reply but hears second bit and stops*

Alexandria.... Much as I value her saftey... That a good idea...

Oh.. If its not protocol... If she is hurt ... I want to be contacted soon as...
Next of kin, parental whatever protocol you use...

She a adult... But she still family...

*the stasis bomb wears off*
*the figures (still in hiding) respond*
I don't know what they teach you in those fancy schools of yours, but I believe you're outnumbered. So how about YOU put YOUR hands up?

*The two agents calmly raise their weapons and load Terminator rounds*
Illustrian Standoff. We have our weapons loaded and ready. We have superior firepower. Drop yours. And as for what we're taught, that's classified.

~

-I will. You deserve to know if something happens.-

*maria*

Thankyou Alexandria...

It was a worry, I was away last time ....

It was not exactly pleasent...

*calm reply*
And we can put you full of holes before you can get all of us. Not even your fancy armor can stand up to a hot-shot volley gun for long

*Floats out of the room, hand-in-hand with Lyr*
*Floats to the couches and nods to everyone around*
*Both of them have their veils up*

*all of the figures ready their own weapons and train them on the agents*
*A tumble weed passes by*

*Maria waves and hears some shouting outside *

Looks like your guests arrived Alexandria... I wonder who I is this time.... Doa... And others... ...

*nips away and returns with a mug of coffee*

...

*marinalia finishes a swim and returns to the bedroom to change*

...

*Marla busy doing paperwork*

...

*space wolves ride past and arrive at hall and begin unloading some massive deer into the kitchens for butchering*

*Rita wakes up, nods to the angels.*
Rita: Dt, those guys still chilling outside?
Dt: {Affirmative.}
*Rita rolls her shoulder, and prays for a fight.*
Rita: I'm coming.

----------
*Jake wakes up, and snuggles next to Denny and Oy.*
Jake: Morning you two.

---------
*Walter and Flagg watch Denny and Jake's room, from the hall.*
*Both grinning.*

*Both angels look at Rita*
What is going on?

~

*Denny smiles at Jake and snuggles back*
D: Morning.

*The agents look at each other, activate silent distress beacons, holster their weapons, and raise their arms*
You've got us, Imperials. Take us to your leader.

*the Sergeant stands up*
He's a tad busy. I'm the next best thing.
*is wearing red carapace plate with bronze edging and a black uniform underneath it*
*full face helmet*

*Rita shrugs.*
Rita: Some lightly armed guys are standing outside, Dt and I can go figure out what they want.
*She keeps walking towards the door.*
Rita: We will see...

---------
*Jake smiles back, and kisses Denny.*
Jake: Any plans for the day, or another lazy day?

*The lead agent looks at the sergeant*
Department of Anomalies. Colonial Federation. I trust that you know what we do.

I will join you.
*Lyr shrugs*
I'll hold down the fort.
*gives Izriel's hand a quick squeeze, and lets her float after Rita*

~

*Denny shrugs*
D: I need to get my training schedule back up to what it was. I'm putting myself to shame every time I have a lazy day.

Oh we know perfectly well what you do Agent. The question is. Why are you here?

*Rita nods, and walks up to Dt.*
Rita: If you want, Izriel... me and Dt can handle it though.
*Climbs into Dt's cockpit, and walks towards the group of armed soldiers, and the DOA agents.*
Rita from Dt speakers: This is Lt. Rita Anderson of the 6-4, what is your business here.

--------
*Jake shakes his head.*
Jake: You're perfect, don't forget that, and deserve all the lazy days you want.
*Jake grins slyly.*
Jake: Besides.. Usually our "lazy days" are full of heart-pounding activities.

This Room is an anomaly, and is currently being contained by Department forces. Why are you here?

~

*One of the agents looks up at Dt and nods silently*

We are here because you are here. The Inquisition tolerates you because war with you would be too costly, but that does not mean you are trusted.
*I glance at Rita/DT*
You are not a member of the Colonies, so I'll talk to you when I'm done with the agents.
*expression is hidden by helmet and voice is robotic sounding*

*Follows behind Rita and Dt, then floats down to human level*
No need for hostilities. Put down the firearms please.

~

*Denny smiles again and shrugs*
D: Y'know, I think you might be right. But don't you think you should go out and talk to people? I mean, I would, but I'm unsociable. Just a Spartan thing.
*Stretches*
D: Though I think us both having a shower without any 'activities' might be good.
*Giggles slightly and holds Jake*
D: I doubt that's going to happen.

I see. And what reason does the Imperial Inquisition have to interfere with Department operations?
*The other agent bows to Izriel*
Hail Sigmar!

Umm...Who's that? I think you may have gotten me mistaken with someone else.

*Maria hears and sits down*

*Returning from near dpor*
Just a heads up anyone... Imperial inquisition seem to have arrived in the area...

Not know how many or who... Just seems to be troopers but who knows what else is following...

*sips coffee *

...

*space wolves see the stand off and start walking down from hall with several marines*
*shrug and walk as a fair distance away hpwever*

*I chuckle*
Who said interfering? We are merely here to make sure you do not damage Imperial interests in this area.
*to Izriel*
Mankind has been at war non-stop for the last ten thousand years. I'm keeping my weapon close

What Imperial interests? This is a containment zone.

Rita: Alright then, speak to them.
*She sits in Dt, aimlessly flicking the safety on and off for the ion cannon.*
Rita (To DT): Scan the forest for any other life signatures.
Dt: {Acknowledged.}

-------
*Jake nods, still smiling.*
Jake: Of course I'm right! And yeah I'll speak to the others when they awaken. For now, I'll be with you.
*Returns Denny's embrace and kisses her.*
Jake: Shower without activities? Yeah that ain't gonna happen...

This is also an Imperial installation. There is an Ultramarine base nearby, as well as a PDF station. Despite the liberties afforded to this place it still has a strong Imperial presence
