Sten Revna entered next. He bowed to the Inquisitor and nodded to Sergeant Westfield. He prepared his report on his premonitory visions.

"Inquisitor, I have performed several Readings of the Emperor's Tarot. The most successful Reading read as follows: The top most card was the Ancient, followed by the Lovers inverted, the Traveler and Courage inverted. From the Ancient, I saw an object of ancient power, though the nature of said object eluded my foresight. The Lovers inverted gave a sense of regret, as Courage inverted gave a feeling of loathing and fear. The Traveler, combined with the previous two cards, as well as the time aspect of the Ancient, implied a long and arduous journey, though weather this journey is our to be had or someone else's that has been walked already evaded my vision. All other aspects of the Reading were inconclusive. All attempted Readings on yourself came up inconclusive."

Sten rubbed his eyes and took a seat. He had spent the last thirty-three hours in meditation with the help of the Inquisitor's navigator and astropath. He could have asked the Grey Knight for assistance, but felt the great warrior needn't be bothered by his duties. And he definitely wasn't going to ask the Xeno for assistance. Besides, the Harlequin professed no experience in farsight. He took a lho-stick from his case and stuck it in his mouth. He snapped his fingers twice before he focused his powers into a tiny pyrokinetic flame on the tip of his thumb which he used to light his lho-stick. He took a drag and sighed. He would need to focus to remain awake for this meeting.
Spoilers: this is a test.

Also, Eisenhorn, could you PM me with some spoilers that I can put into my posts involving reading the future. They don't have to be actual spoilers, and can be as vague or as incorrect as you like, I'd just like something (vaguely) accurate to put in my character's precognitions.
Welcome to the crew, Banba.
Building off Rax's ideas, the guys we ran into could have been advance troops/scouts. Their full army could arrive later enough that we have plenty of time to recover, but we'd still be stuck in the hospital/safe-zone.
So technically we'll be part of Ravenwing?

EDIT: Oh, wait, your TL;DR info and 'In Character' story don't match up. TL;DR says we're 2nd Company, but 'In Character' story says 3rd.

Personality:
(WIP Yeah… It’s gonna be an Ogryn. But there will be something about his pet giant lice. Oh and a dreadful fear of heights and all forms of spoons.)


Fear of spoons?
With the raft finished and being loaded with supplies, Ray only had to get his group on it. “Don't worry, big guy, the raft is large enough for you to fit on.” It sagged in the water a bit, but it carried the weight of the supplies and the ogryn comfortably. Ray went to Gaius and reminded him, “Nothing too fancy, just get a good look at the village and get out. I don't really care if there's a Valkyrie fueled and ready for launch waiting for us there, I don't want you to be seen.”

Ray finally ordered the remaining supplies they had to be burned. Everyone who wanted an extra laspistol or lascarbine had already taken one, and he didn't want to share the firepower advantage they had with anyone, even if their enemies didn't know how to use them. Trooper Radclyffe's flamer spouted burning promethium over the pod and the equipment they couldn't use. “Time to get going. See you guys at the rendezvous point.”
It had taken them about three hours of paddling and Grav's whimpers, but they made it to the listening post. They had concealed the raft with tree branches and left it on the east coast of the northern island. The listening post was about half a klick from the raft's hiding spot, and well concealed in some cliffs. They got to the cave where the entrance was hidden, only to find the door ajar. Gesturing for silence, Ray slowly opened the door with the barrel of his lascarbine. He stepped in silently and surveyed the listening post, switching his eye to night-vision. The comms room was empty and dark, as was the generator room. None of the equipment was active, and neither did it seem like any of it has been activated recently, but a faint light emanated from the bunk room. Ray's augmentic eye switched off night vision as he slowly approached the dimly lit room.

A man was sitting on one of the cots, dressed in some kind of local clothing. He was facing a lit candle and mouthing some kind of prayer with his hands making the sign of the Aquila. He opened his eyes to the sight of a lascarbine aiming at his head. “Stay very still and tell me who you are.” Ray ordered.

“Oh, holy All-father...” he whimpered, shaking where he kneeled.

“Your name, now.”

“I am Vardan of Karthen. I-I c-came here to this shrine to hide from the bandits and mutants, but I should have never invaded this Sanctuary of the All-Father. Please spare my miserable life, servant of the All-Father. I beg forgiveness, my lord.” The man prostrated himself at Ray's feet.

Ray rolled his eye and lowered his gun. Great, a religious looney. “Relax, Vardan. You're fine now.” Vardan looked up and immediately yelped at the sight of Honoria.

“An angel of the All-father! I am not worthy. And a soldier of the Sky-father. And... and...” His voice trailed off as Grav

Ray left him gaping and examined the generator. “Looks like a simple promethium generator. Look around for some promethium barrels.”
Hey guys, just want to let you know that I am still alive. I had to paint again yesterday. Its really surprising how much physical effort is put into painting. I'm working on my post now.

EDIT: And its done. I'll PM Lucian with details of what to expect on the scouting groups side.
Idea for time-skip:

We pile into the ambulance as the aliens start landing and shooting the place up. We drive to the hospital where we are safe because the military/police/SWAT/whatever has set up there. We stay for about a day or two to get in better condition. By then, whoever is fighting the aliens is losing and we have to get out of the hospital and run before the aliens overrun it.
