StitchedOwl Canoness Ishitta Thamus - Aboard the Redeemer of Worlds
@NecroKnight
Having prayed to point where her knees were sore. Ishitta felt content, to move on to the long list of things she needed to do while she waited for the embodiment to summon her. Ishitta always having something that needed her attention. Her aide by the door to the shrine waiting for Ishitta to finish her prayers. Know it wasn't worth his life to disrupt the Canoness. The middle-aged man went over the stack of documents his was carrying trying to organize them in a manner his mistress would deem worth her time.
As Ishitta left the shine her aide ambushed her listing of some of the things needed to do before the days end. Earning an annoyed sigh from the Canoness. As she marched to her office to look over her aide's documents. Which were mostly reports and requests by various department heads for permission for various personnel, extra resources or permission to do one thing or another. Ishitta's aide reading the requests out loud to her while she started to read over reports. Ishitta denying many of the requests that were read to her. Only her tech cult who wanted to use some rare material make some minor improvements the Redeemers ancient void shield generators. Ishitta allowing it hoping it would keep the machine worshiping nut cases out of her hair for some time. Ishitta having no love for the Cult Mechanicus. However, they were too useful. So Ishitta tolerated them and made and effort to keep them happy. Most of the time it was easy as giving them what they wanted or shoving an Inferno pistol in a few faces.
The reports were proving to be the normal mundane affair which Ishitta believed was good. To her, it meant everything was running smoothly and everyone aboard ship was at least content. She was about order her aide to finish going over the reports himself when one of her aide's underlings entered the room. Earning a glare from Ishitta. She really didn't like it when people didn't knock.
"Mistress! Sister Iona reports possible rebel factions in the lower ward are fighting in habitat sector alpha 2. Normally I wouldn't bother bringing this to you directly Mistress. However, the fighting is posing a threat to the convent-shine we've been working on establishing. Sister Iona is concerned with her current numbers she will be unable to hold the Convent-shine should it come under fire. She is requesting reinforcement or direct intervention. Iona reports one group of rebels had already attempted to breach the convent-shine. But was successfully repelled. After that, we lost contact." Her aide's underling spoke with a bow hoping he'd not overstepped his bounds by barging into the Canoness's office.
The news made Ishitta frown and sigh. How dare some rebellious citizenry threaten her people. Ishitta starting to think of different methods on how to deal with this situation, without risking too much of her current forces. Aware the putting every sister she had on the ground would most likely end poorly and destroy what little good faith the order had been able to cultivate. However, she couldn't let some rebellious citizenry simply get away harming faithful servants to the god emperor and the embodiment. Not to mention an attack against the order directly was unacceptable. These who ever there people where they needed to learn that the Order wouldn't tolerate being attacked. They were traitors to the Emporer and Embodiment.
Get me the Astartes Captain Tyros. Tell him I demand ... no request to speak with him. At his earliest convenience. In the meantime, I want two squads of Celestian's ready to deploy. Ishitta spoke. It was annoying to deal with this so close to departing on a crusade. But she wanted to make sure her Sisters she left on Arexia would safe once the Redeemer had left the system. She needed to be sure. Hopefully, these rebels would weak of will and a quick assault with the aid of the Astartes and her most elite would prove to be an effective deterrent. At her command, Ishitta's aide nodded promptly left the room along with his underling. Leaving Ishitta on her own to go over reports and working out a quick and most likely brutal means of dealing with these treacherous citizens. For as far as she was concerned they no long had any rights. Aware that given these rebels had attacked her order the agreement the Embodiment signed gave her the right to deal with them as she saw fit. To Ishitta there was only one way to deal with traitors.
Several minutes later a transmission was sent from the Redeemer to the Black Flame.
"Captain Tyros Maxim your presence is requested by Canoness Ishitta Thamus, who wish to speak with you at your earliest convenience. The matter concerning a report of fighting in the lower wards. Near a sisterhood Covenant-Shine. Further details will be provided by the Canoness in person. Should find yourself unable to meet. Please inform me. Otherwise, the Canoness would like to see you soon."
Sister Superior Iona - Arexia Prime Hive Amastov Lower Wards Habitat Sector Alpha 2
The fighting had been going on for several hours. Iona unsure what exactly was going on. All she could hear was the sound of Lasguns ringing in the streets near the Convent-shrine. The sounds of fighting slowly drawing closer for the second time. The Sister Superior looking towards the sister under her command. Who guarding the already battered door. Sister Iona concerned a decent or dedicated attack on the Covent-shrine would overwhelm them. The Covent Shrine housed in a run down long abandoned church Iona and her squad had cleared out a few days prior.
"What are they PDF doing?" Iona muttered looking towards the door. She wanted to go out there and deal with the whoever was causing all of this herself. However, her orders were to protect the Convent-shrine and those within its walls. So that is what she would do. Until she was either dead or until the fighting in the streets had stopped.
