So @agentmanatee quick question. Does the hive city that acts as Gregori's capital (aka. where his palace located) have a name? Or can I try to make something up that won't sound overly stupid.

K'Vari's gonna love you. Might even keep you around when he's running things here ^-^

@thewizardguy

A Xeno running thing?! Over my dead emperor!

This sounds like a problem that can be solved with cleansing fire lots and lots of cleansing fire.

Katya

The instant Katya heard her apology was accepted by the Sargent. A sense of relief washed over her. Katya having been a little worried if the new Sargent was going to punish her for being late. However, it seemed this tiny Sargent wasn't all that bad. Merely warning not dawdle from this point on. Katya nodding.
"Yes and thank you, ma'am." Katya quickly stated in reply before the Sargent looked away turning her attention to the others and the questions that were asked. Katya moving stand with rest of te squad for the rest of the briefing. Watching and listening everything that went on. Katya having to suppress a snicker when the Sargent stamped her foot. Finding the sight quite amusing. After all who wouldn't the girl looked like a young child throwing a tantrum. When they meeting was over and she was dismissed. Katya was quick to leave. Disappearing for several hours as found somewhere out of the way to study her Artemis Drones schematics again.

---

As the for day's passed Katya did what she could help Elise. Supported her in discussions offered suggestions when she could. Katya seeing it her job to help the little Sargent given she was the only one who wasn't a cadet. Katya was willing to do whatever Elise needed to help better command the squad. She always pushed herself, always giving her best. Feeling it was her duty to set an example. Outside of training Elise was the only new face to the Squad Sigma the Katya was willing to speak to. Although it was mostly as Elise outranked Katya and she didn't want to get on the Sargents bad side. That and her small stature made Katya think Elise was cute, which made Katya lower her guard. So was willing to talk.

Krista and Devors however, were not so lucky. Katya refusing to speak with either of them for the first three days unless it was important and necessary. Katya looking she would bite their heads off if they dared bother her. By day for Krista didn't get that look. However, Katya wasn't willing to interact with her. Her free time during the four days Katya spent burying herself in werk schematics and any information Jake gave her.

When the day of the mission arrived. Katya made sure this time she was first to arrive at the briefing. Watching everything in silence. Her hands balling into fists when Elora was mentioned. Those wounds still fresh in Katya's mind. The young woman still blaming herself for Elora's capture whenever she wasn't doing anything. Since Elora's capture Katya was quick to anger when Elora was mentioned around her. When Ritsu asked if there were any questions Katya was about to speak and ask something. However, Zero beat her to the punch asking a total 6 questions which covered what she was about to ask. So decided to keep quite. Zero's last question sending a chill up Katya's spine. The idea this could be a Cruxi trap was unsettling. However, if it meant saving Elora Katya didn't care.

Canoness Ishitta Thamus

As the representative, to the other Adeptus Astartes spoke to Ishitta. The Canoness scowled at him. His words falling of deaf ears. Ishitta not interested in listening to the Astartes words. He was lucky she was the Canoness, given her predecessor would have tried to purge him for speaking to her like that. Even if she had been ordered not to. Ishitta giving the Astartes a dismissive wave of her hand, to show she wasn't interested in listening to him or continuing this argument. Although Ishitta's aid wrote down every word spoke the Astartes spoke to his mistress, just in case she wanted it later.

It was then the little Xeno moved the center of the room and spoke Ending its words with a snap of its fingers. Ishitta looking at the Xeno with a raised eyebrow. Wondering what the little Xeno was up to. Her guards eyeing the alien. Then out of nowhere alarms filled the room. Ishitta's Celestian guard, raising her bolter taking aim at the alien. While her Repentia Mistress draw a pair neural whips. Ishitta however, didn't move. Her instincts telling her the Xeno wouldn't dare attack and bring down the rather of everyone here with only two guards.
"Standdown." Ishitta commanded and her guards obeying going back to their previous stance. The Canoness thinking whatever was going on would most likely have alarmed those in the hanger and her Palatine. Who was commanding the Redeemer while Ishitta was off ship. Ishitta knewing her Palatine would be keeping a close eye on the Embodiments flagship while Ishitta was on it.
"One of you, find out what going on. Ensure everyone there is no cause for alarm." Ishitta order quietly as the little Xeno started speaking. Ishitta's guards looking at each other in silence. Before nodding to each other. The Celestian slowly walking out of the chamber. Doing her best to not interrupt what was going on.

The moment the Embodiment stood up, Ishitta was unsure what to expect. Watching the Embodiment closely, as he went around the room speaking to each of those that had been involved with the petty argument. Ishitta lowering her head as the Embodiment came to her last. Ask her a question that Ishitta only had one answer to.
"No, I would never ..." she muttered quietly trailing off. Her voice barely loud enough to be heard by the Embodiment before he walked off. Ishitta feeling like a fool for letting her temper and zeal get the better of her. She'd need to watch herself more in the future. Otherwise, her tongue and temper might get her into trouble. Having spoken with that were involved in the little argument. Ishitta watching as the Embodiment moved the meeting on to the topic. Seeing a hologram of a the Revelius system listening to the Embodiment as he started to explain the first target of the expansion crusade. Watching as the hologram zoom in on the what was explained to be the Forge moon Amatheus.

Listening to the Embodiment Ishitta made a mental note to start double combat drills. Given the order haven't seen a real battle in many months. She'd needed to make sure they were ready. Just in case the order was called to battle. When told she was dismissed, Ishitta wasted no time in leaving. Being one of the frist out of the room. She headed back to her lander and moment later was in transit back to the Redeemer of Worlds. Which was remaining close to Saint's Chariot. So the trip was short.

Once aboard she summoned a meeting of the uppermost members of the Order. Ishitta wanting to discuss with them in making sure all sections of the Order were ready for whatever the Embodiment called them to do. That meeting quick and once it was over Ishitta went to one of the Redeemers many shrines to the Emporer the sisters had set up. There she knelt before the shine to and started to mutter prayers softly.

@agentmanatee

You sure your not just trying to build suspense for what might be an epic post?

Canoness Ishitta Thamus

@Wraithblade6@Switch

Ishitta sat and watched as Inquisitor Alexius's offer was rejected, by the other one. Glancing at her aid as he wrote quickly trying to jot down everything the other Inquisitor spoke. Worried about the punishment Ishitta would inflict on him should he fail. The order not taking kindly to those that fail their duty and given he was an outsider. Ishitta would much harsher on him then if it was one of her sisters.
When the other Inquisitor had finished declining the offer made to him. Ishitta demanded the notes her aid was making. Them reading over the quickly as silence filled the chamber. Nodding in approval at choice the other Inquisitor made able to see his reasons why and respected the choice. Even if he needed to learn to be more respectful of those already appointed to power by the Embodiment. Handing the notes back to her aid she demanded a note be made to watch that other Inquisitor closely.

When the representative of the Heretical Adeptus Astartes. Ishitta frowned. Listening to the Heretics words with a look of disgust plastered on her face. This Astartes was challenging, the embodiment right to rule. Ishitta finding the words made her blood boil, the expression on her face starting to darken. How she wished she could purge the heretical Astartes. It was only by the will emperor of the Embodiment of his will. Had Ishitta remained seat had actually not interrupted and told the Astartes to be silent. It didn't stop her blood from reaching boiling point and when the Astartes finished speaking Ishitta slammed her fists into the table in front of her. The Cannoness rose from her seat and glared at Relictors representative, then at the Eldar Ishitta's guards again shifting. After expecting the order to attack the Xeno.

"Forgive me Embodiment, but I will not sit here and let some heretical Astartes and foul Xeno try to question your right to rule your Impreium! To question my duty! The duty of my order! To speak complete and utter heresy! By your generosity, they will not meet my blade. As difficult as it prove to keep it sheathed. I will obey your command to not cause a fight for it is my duty to obey the one who embodies HIS will. However, I will not continue to listen in silence." Ishissta said anger lining her words. Her hands shaking slightly rage.
"You Astartes you question my duty! My duty it to serve the one who Embodies the late god-emperors will! You dare question that! Unlike you! I know my duty and I know my place. It is not my or your place to question, it is to serve faithfully without question.
NEXT TIME YOU DARE QUESTION THAT OR THE EMBODIMENT! I will put you down, like the heretical dog you are! A questioning servant is more dangerous than an ignorant heretic. So tell me which are you Astartes? For there is only one solution to deal with both." Ishitta spoke turning her gaze to the Eldar. Glaring at the Xeno for a moment. Huffing before sitting back down.

"Do not speak of the embodiment like that again filthy Xeno. Otherwise, the first chance I get I will purge you. Although it would be a mercy." Ishitta merely stated sounding almost claim, her voice carrying undertones of her anger and disgust. Having spoken Ishitta was content to listen again and endure whatever punishment the Embodiment felt like giving her. Ishitta knowing she overstepped her bounds. So was expecting some sort of punishment, it what she'd of dne if her underlings overstepped. No matter the reason.

@Wraithblade6 You sir, are correct.

Canoness Ishitta Thamus

Hearing the embodiment say he would be honored to wear the purity seal made for him. Ishitta couldn't help but let a tiny smile. The words pleasing her greatly. Ishitta confident when the seal is sighted on the embodiment in battle. Its sight would inspire her sisters, drive them to fight harder than any battle hymn could even hope to manage. Looking at her two guards Ishitta knew the word would spread quickly once they returned to the Redeemer. News always did, especially things pertaining to the embodiment. Many sisters often whispered about things they saw and heard. Ishitta finding this little habit of her underlings useful and annoying. As many times she had learned about potential problem festering on the Redeemer and was able to quickly deal with the issue before it became problematic. Luckily thanks to the discipline of her order, nothing classified got spread. Although private information was fair game. Ishitta having several facts about herself she'd of rather kept buried, spread around. Not that the information was easy to get at to anyone outside of the order. The Maidens being quite secretive around outsiders.

As the rest of those who would be attending the meeting arrived. Ishitta made mental notes on a couple of the newcomers. Already planning on ways to remove the small Xeno flanked by the hideous Vat-Brutes. Although was aware it was a trader. So it might prove to be of use. Still being a filthy Xeno she would need to watch it very closely. Who knew what the little creature was planning. The Guard captain seemed like a decent man. Ishitta aware from personal experience guardsmen were quite useful although often lacked faith and could be swayed by the heretical dark gods or Xenos. Ishitta thinking the guard captain might be a decent ally to the order. Provided, he and his men were at least somewhat faithful. The other inquisitor that arrived later. Made Ishitta frown seeing the attitude this man as lack of respect to the embodiment. Ishitta's guards shifting, quite unhappy with what they just saw. If he had been aboard the Redeemer, the Inquisitor would have eaten bolter round by now.

When Adeptus Astartes arrived Ishitta placed her hands on her the hilt of her power sword. Ishitta while having respect for all Adeptus Astartes simply for their prowess in battle. She had fought enough of them to know most were not faithful. The first group earned a very unhappy scowl from Ishitta, recognizing the weapons they carried were demon weapons.
"Heretics ..." she muttered under her breath, trailing off as Astartes spoke. Shaking her head, her instincts told her those Astartes needed to cleansed right now. However, she had been told before the meeting not to cause problems by the embodiment himself. That she needed to not pick a fight with every Xeno in the room and anything she deemed heretical. It was probably for the best, given they had already been "harassing" Xeno's as some put it.
"No true servant of the emperor would carry weapons of the great enemy. You are nothing but a heretic. To be put down like the dogs you are." she thought folding her arms, it took a lot to suppress her instincts. However, it was her place to obey the embodiment and she would not fail him. Even if she didn't agree with him.

When told to take a seat Ishitta did just that, her guards taking a single step back. Giving their Mistress enough room to be comfortable. Only Ishitta's aid remained in reach of the Cannoness. Much to aids dismay. Given that Ishitta only tolerated him. Given he was an outsider to her order. A necessary evil to facilitate to ensure her smooth running of the Redeemer and her order. To make sure the outsiders on board that worked most of the ship's systems, where getting along with her sisters.

Sat and quite comfortable Ishitta listened as Inquisitor spoke, looking at both of them. She watched, interested in seeing how the other inquisitor would answer. Once the matter was dealt with. Ishitta decided she'd let the other speak and ask questions. It was good why to learn about those her order would be working with. She did however, order her aid to make notes on what was asked and how it was answered.

Canoness Ishitta Thamus

The Aquila Lander hit the landing pad with a thud, as it right engine spluttered. As if struggling to fulfill it's duty.
"I thought I ordered this transport fixed?" Ishitta questioned the middle-aged looking man sitting next to her. Who looked almost panicked. Glancing at the two women sat across from him.
"Yes mistress you did. The Enginseers did all they could. They claim they lack the parts to fully repair your lander. I'm sorry mistress I will speak to them when we return. Make sure it priority one repair." The man spoke, earning him a huff from Ishitta. She was not impressed that her personal transport was in disrepair. Although it was no surprise. The lander was old and it required parts the order simply needed elsewhere.
"See that you do. Otherwise, I will find a new aid." Ishitta muttered as the Landers main door opened. Ishitta everyone in the lander standing up. Ishitta taking the lead as they disembarked the lander. Entered the landing bay. Ishitta's aid taking the lead as began to lead the Canoness towards the Emporer Gregori, or as he was called by those in the Order of the Mourning Maidens the Embodiment. Ishitta's flanked by a Celestian and a Repentia Mistress. Both staying close to their Cannoness, both seeming almost the tiniest bit eager to see Gregori up close.

As they walked the halls of Saint's Chariot Ishitta shot suspicious glares at everyone they came across. Although they had an agreement with Gregori and she was willing to trust him. She didn't trust those under him. They were all potential heretics and needed to be watched closely. Ishitta resting a hand on her Inferno Pistol as walked the ship's halls.

Arriving at the room where Gregori was located, Ishitta's aid fell to her right side allowing her to take the lead. Knowing better to walk in front or Ishitta when meeting someone important. Entering the room Ishitta followed by her aid and guards approached and knelt before him. Holding it for a moment. Before standing, looking at Gregori directly.
"Embodiment, we come as requested. The order stands ready to meet your desires. My order as also made a purity seal for you. It blessed by those most devout to the late god emperor and to the one who embodies his will. We would be honored if you would wear it." Ishitta spoke as her aid approached Gregori's captain. Handed him a pouch then quickly retreated back the Canonesses side. Who already stood to a little of Gregori's left side. Ishitta looked at those had already arrived with a distrustful and suspicious look. Before giving them a nod in greeting. With that, she turned to watch the door, interested in seeing who else would be severing the embodiment.
