>Hooded and masked figure enters the room
We find the nearest mine, which is about here
>He points at the map
And can do one of following things, we kill them all and take their equipment, we enslave them or we try to convert them to our cause since working conditions there are...bad

>>2704419
>A certain pretty mutant enters
I know I'm not officially one of that category, but my sideways thinking saved us from an unnecessary fight once already.
>>2704424
Convert them I think.

>>2704419
>Arden enters the room
I suggest we raid the mine and take the equipment and capture any workers

>Lenny was away with some other cultists, doing a textbook imperial field kit inspection with them

“Fuck. You guys really don’t have that much shit. That’s another one for the logistics book”

>Lenny does his best to try and at least keep some of the cultists well equipped for a battle scenario

“Alright we have a single crate of grenades... really limited ammunition stockpiles... fuck. Things really are dire around here.”

>Lenny equips some of the cultists with a single Frag grenade each along with ammunition for their autoguns

“Alright. Let’s do some target practice.”

>Lenny brings the cultists out into a field beside the base and sets up a few crude targets for them to practice their shooting on. At first their accuracy was abysmal and made Lenny cringe on multiple occasions but soon their accuracy improved somewhat.

>The clattering of rusted bells, the wheezing of his struggled breath, and of course the stench

>>2704419
Hello Ivris
> he walks in to the room
We should probably expand our scouting operations

>>2704419
Begin when ready Irvis.

>>2704424
>Irvis nods

"Indeed, there is a mine not too far from here:"

>Irvis points it out on the map

"They're mining up material for making plasticrete and such; not a patiuclalry valuable location for the enemy, but it's got all the equipment we need. No matter how we deal with it, the main problem is we don't want the Imperium knowing we're up here, so basically, they can't be able to call for help, they can't be able to run, and we can't blow it up or disable it too badly; if the rock stops coming out, the guys in the capital will notice and send somebody up there to check it out."

"And it's as Salfrin said: we either take the place by force and kill or enslave them, or try to get them to join us willingly. The miners are penals being worked to death, and the guards are PDF. So then, any ideas people?"

>>2704524
“The penals can be converted the PDF will be harder. I say we just kill the PDF then get the equipment and take the penals so they believe that it was a escape.”

>>2704524
We come at night, kill the PDF and give penals a choice, join or die. We can set it up in a way that a local criminal organisation or orks can be blamed, there are such creatures on this planet, right?

>>2704529
We could also take the surviving PDF as slaves and convert them.

>>2704524
>he gets out a piece of graphing paper and begins drawing something up

So if we infiltrate through here and pretend to be one of the penal regimenters, we could use nurgle corruption to make the mining area completely blighted and unlivable.

This would cause many if the imperials to start firing upon the penal regimenters who they believe to be lazy, if done right out infiltrators could cause a revolt on the inside
This would draw the PDF either inward to deal with the situation, in which case we can simply take the entrance and confiscate all communication equipment, or if the revolt fails, outwards where explosive weaponry would make short work of the clustered bodies

>>2704532
"If we blight the land, when they come up to check why the plasticrete stopped coming, they'll see the corruption and know we're in the area."

>>2704541
“Do they have any patrols outside of the mines?.”

>>2704532
They will see that the chaos was involved, we must find a way to shift the blame on someone else.

>>2704532
Corruption on that scale would attract the wrong kind of attention likewise would a prison revolt depending on the regiment I might have some sleepers in the guards who might be able to help us with the comms

>>2704541
We blight the inside of the mines where they can’t use their communications, which are stationed on the surface.

Before they realise that the guardsmen are not just being lazy and that something is really wrong, the opportunity for a revolt will have already presented itself.

>>2704552
Did you hear him if the land is blighted they will know it's us
We must make it look like it's someone else

>>2704550
>>2704562
If you had the mental capacity to understand what I am saying you would know that it would not matter.
All they would be able to report was that the guardsmen were being lazy again and then communication would cease as we moved in.

They would only discover chaos taint after we had already left

>>2704565
And they would know we are in the area making this perfectly fine hideout compromised before we have even established ourselves making the whole thing meaningless

>>2704570
Any sort of operation will cause suspicion, there is no feasible way to steal the equipment without drawing attention to ourselves unless we replace everything we steal with exact replicas.

Do you have a way of stealing the mining equipment without letting anyone ever find out it was stolen?
Because it’s currently impossible

>>2704577
No the goal is to make it look like it's someone else thus not compromising our position you even listening

>>2704577
>walks in in newly cleaned robes now with black trim.
Just make them think it was someone else. As you would have heard if your hearing aparatus was not shoved halfway up your excrement dispenser.

>>2704580
That won’t stop them from looking in the general area of where the equipment was stolen, do you even know how things function?

Just because they don’t know it was renegades does not stop them from realising that renegades stole it in a routine search

>>2704586
But currently there is a bunch of angry sororitas looking for us and giving them clues that obvious is straight up idiotic.
If they think it was just some bandits they will not come here

>>2704592
You just deflected my point instead of addressing it.

If they think it was bandits they will still look in the general area, because that is what you do when things get stolen, and then they will find us.


However...

I do have an alternate, yet equally as risky suggestion

>>2704600
The purpose of hiding chaos involvement isn't to prevent investigation, it's to lessen their reaction. If they suspect that chaos is active in the region they will likely send ten times as many troops. If not more.

>>2704600
If tzeentchites are all this irritating I might just go with Prince orgies

Go ahead what is it

>Lenny enters the war room, figuring that he might as well try and show some use after training the cultists

“So. What are you guys and gals planning?”

>>2704604
>>2704605

If we had one of the regiment, preferably one of noble origin, pose as a buyer of the mining equipment and then have them rip the mine owners off...


The mine bosses would not be able to report the incident lest they risk execution.

So we would be able to acquire the equipment without revealing our location.

However it would require an incredibly talented con artist to pull off properly

>>2704615
Sounds better and we do have some actual nobility in here somewhere you know the priest and his sister

Rolled 72 (1d100)

>>2704622
>Gasp!
I could make them clothes!
>Runs off, giggling. She gathers cloth and starts making three different suits, tastefully designed for Antoloth, Area, and herself.

>>2704640
Hmm...

This could work...

Gather the most perfect actors with the fewest mutations possible in your slanneshi camp, aim for the most charming and attractive to maximise pursuasion but ensure nine of visibly mutated

>>2704649
"Your idea has merit O7. We will require somebody who has received few gifts from the gods. Hmm..."

>Irvis thinks for a moment

"The best ones that I can think of are Maria, Jay's partner who joined only recently, Steven, who is an expert at appearing normal, our new friend Lenny here, Jaan, and maybe O7's little slave if she can be convinced to help."

>>2704880
(Ant) Someone summoned us?
>They both enter the room, Area seems melancholy

>>2704887
"Oh yes, you two are still here. O7 believes the best course of action in securing mining equipment is to go to a mine and pose as nobles and take it."

>>2704893

Brunhilde walks in, looking extremely tired, as if she hadn't slept for three days...which is almost true, seeing how she passed out and had a good three hours of sleep before being forced awake and walked, or rather stumbled, slowly over to the command tent at a speed that a follower of nurgle could beat without even trying. She didn't say anything and just stood there behind everyone else, trying not to pass out.

>>2704933
"Oh yes, Brunhilde also has yet to receive gifts from the gods. How about it Brunhilde, are you up to impersonating some nobles?"

>>2704640
>Despite the lack of quality material, you are still able to cobble together a respectable ensemble. It would never pass in a noble court, but to the uninitiated in courtly matters, it looks like the clothing of the wealthy.

>>2704990

"I...Can do that...just need...to wake up first...maybe need more...of that recaf...you weren't joking...when you said it would...keep me up for days..." Brunhilde would say sounding completely exhausted and as if she wasn't really there before falling over and muttering "I think I could...sleep for two days."

>>2705006
"I've got two different special recafs: Slaaneshi and Khornate. The slaaneshi will possibly give you hallucinations and get you addicted and such. The Khornate one will make you mad."

>>2705062

"Whichever one...will keep me awake...better...maybe...both." Brunhilde would mutter before going silent, probably having fallen asleep considering her eyes were closed and she wasn't responding to anyone at the moment.

>>2705078
>Irvis shrugs
"Eh, she can just sleep I guess."

>>2705159
>He un does the straps on his gas mask, revealing his perfect features and bright blue eye that match Area's, come to think of it they look like twins almost...
Very well, shouldnt be difficult at all

>>2705259
Hello priest hello scum I'm happy to see you are both alive atleast

>>2705319
>She dosent respond, her mind is somewhere else

>>2705319
>He glares at you, but takes a deep breath and pretends you didnt say that
Hello Jaan, how do you-
>He smells Barabass
OH! Winds take that stench away!
>he puts his mask back on as quickly as he can

>>2705323
Ok your o so noble majesty is that a better way to refer to someone who proclaimed they wished to destroy everything I have worked and sacrificed so much to liberate

>>2705347
Can you really blame her? Shes lost everything. We both have, the only reason im still bothering here is because i see opportunity to undo the past.
But her? what reason to have any sort of hope or care for this world does she have? The fact that you yourself persist with your ancient ways boggles me.
We should not discuss this, and remain objective.
Im sure you all have come up with some sort of plan?

>>2705347
>She notices that someone is talking about her
Hmm?
Awh! What is that smell!?
>she sees Barabass
What. Is. That.

>>2705383
>Blllleck
I am Barabass, faithful servant of the Rot Father,
>He lays his free hand over his gut and sets the staff aside and bows.

>she rushes outside and vomits

>>2704990
>Returns with clothes
>>2705402
I see you've met Barb? Here, this won't smell as bad.
>Hands over some nose plugs made from bath salts.

>>2705471
>She catches her breath,
thank you
>she takes them and applies,
What is your name again? sorry im still trying to keep up.
The one you all know as "Antaloth" is probably the only person i trust to any degree around here at the moment, and yet he keeps the company of fanatics, madmen, and now monsters it seems
I just-
I just dont know what to do
Oh what am i saying you dont care

>>2705352
They burnt my parents on the stake. I was there hiding in the woods powerless to save them
I understand what that is like

>>2705520
And in what category do you count me
Don't worry I don't bring my guards to strategy meetings and they won't shoot you

>>2705543
>She looks over, wiping her face
Fanatics. Just blind zealots who refuse to realize that youve already lost years and years ago, your only hope of freedom is to temporarally knock Imperial rule off of the world, even then they will simply reclaim it and wipe the population then populate it themselves, or simply glass the planet and use it as an example for others.
Im tired of playing dumb.
>she turns to face him, something about her demeanor says that she has violence on her mind
And im tired of pretending that there is any hope for any of us beyond acceptance of damnation.
>She storms off

>>2705547
I'll just give your dress to Ant then. Yeah.

>>2705547
Be that way then

I was just starting to see something in you but be that way then

>>2705558
Just give her some time, she believed that everything that happened was some cruel misunderstanding, and that upon rescue she would be returned to our palace across the sea, and then life would be as grand as it ever was

this was not the case. She is adjusting to the reality in her own way. Please do not mind it.

>>2705520
You lump me in with these guys.
If I did not count that as your self evident lack of a proper sourse of information I would have seen that as an insult.
You could spend time with me and learn some actualy useful skills. I hope that night was not to bad.

>>2705554
She is still coming with me, for both of our sakes i refuse to leave her on her own.
And please. An overcoat. Dark green.

>>2705559
I was starting to see myself losing absolutely everything over night seeing it all burn before my eyes. I was six you know when they came I can no longer remember my mother's face but I can remember hers the face of the one that took my life away from me

>>2705567
You identify Imperial nobles as your enemy, when your life was turned upside down me and her were merely children, if we were even born at that time to begin with.
Do not let her get inbetween our alliance Jaan, despite my feelings for her, my loyalties lie with Tzeentch. And he does not favor her at this time.

>>2705159
>bllrrbllle
Welll
>bllleck
As much as i would love to stand here and wither away for an eternity
>HACK HACK
I will go make myself useful at my new abode, much work is needed to make the place spiffy, i will go and do this now
>he nods respectfully then lumbers his way back from wence he came, unfortunately the stench lingers yet

>>2705571
I was saying I se myself in her but she doesn't have a target something to anchor herself against that is what she needs

>>2705576
Im no expert in the ways people think, but if i had to guess
I think she just hates everything
>He looks back to where she went, and thinks to himself for a moment before turning back to Jaan
I do not wish to discuss this further

>>2705584
Ok antaloth I won't talk about it

>>2705609
Now then, Havent seen you in a few days. Do you keep well?

>>2705574
>he lumbers his way back to the new rotting garden to see how the putrification is coming along

>>2705618
Well I have had some internal problems and I have been trying to make that decision

>>2705627
Perhaps i could be of some assistance?
Tell me friend, What troubles you so?

>>2705628
I have been looking for more information about it as I know the decision is final and u know I have to make it soon

>>2705632
What decision is that my friend?

>>2705645
The question about gods and allegiance I have been thinking about it recently I feel I have to have a awnser soon

>>2705654
I pray you make the right choice.
Farewell friend,
>he leaves

“JAY! YOU GOT THOSE DISGUISES DONE! We’ll need a few of ‘em!”

>>2705694
Will I be required for this or can I go back to work

>>2705699
“Well, O7’s plan is to impersonate nobles in order to obtain mining equipment so we can start modifying the caves to our needs. Any way you think you can help with that?”

>>2705702
>They approach
(Antaloth)
There will be no Impersonation, If its nobles they want they will get the real thing
> Unfiltered by his mask, his voice is clear an firm.

>>2705702
I do not think I am the most suited for such a job as I do not exactly look like my Martian cuisines anymore.

>>2705706
For security reasons we might want to acquire uniforms that would be fitting for a nobles bodyguards

>>2705706
“...I’m honestly less inclined to trust you or give you important tasks because you’ve been hiding that from me.”

>>2705708
“I’m fairly sure Jay went to work on those.”

>>2705708
He speaks well, I remember our palace guard, 50 of them could kill everyone under Irvis' command given the proper circumstances.
I miss them

>>2705711
If I did not count that as your self evident lack of a proper sourse of information I would have seen that as an insult. Miss arogance

>>2705711
Are you so sure miss Area I haven't stormed any palaces or such but from personal experience I know they're more show than anything else

>>2705711
“Lady, an eighth of my men are insane bersekers, combat their sole meaning for in life. They exist only to spill blood, only to rip and tear, or, in the case of those that are not literally khornate berserkers and just particularly violent Slaaneshis, spill enemy blood and such a way to create beautiful patterns upon the ground. 50 of your damn palace guard couldn’t kill my men. They do not fear death, they are bringers of it.”

>>2705717

You did not storm *my* palace.
Of course the lesser lords and ladys of the planet had pultry dogs wearing fancy outfits and carapace plate toting a gilded lasgun like they mean something.
My palace is a damn fortress. And now its in the hands of some whore!
>She trys to think of something else, it only makes her angryer

>>2705723
Well if you are doing that we will need to forge a seal and some flashy parade uniforms for the bodyguards

>>2705723
Your palace was probably a weak construction as it was constructed by ignorant fools. much like yourself.

>>2705726
>>2705730
>she bites her lip so hard she draws blood and her fists clench tightly.

>>2705732
Irvis! Promptly requesting permission to violence the enginseer

>>2705732
>The same whisper that spoke to Area when she killed rises again
>"They are right you know... those palace guards... they were weak, bloodless. Veteran soldiers, yes, but not veterans because of prowess, because of cowardice. You do not need bodyguards, they are a sign of WEAKNESS!! Should any try to kill YOU, you will have the sole responsibility to reduce them to a red smear."

>>2705733
"Permission denied, he is far more important than you, as well as being a personal friend."

>>2705702
If I may offer my limited expertise, my lord, I am familiar with the noble caste of this world. As you already know I am a seasoned infiltrator as well.

>>2705739
>Irvis nods

"Indeed you are, every important man needs to have an bureaucrat. Just don't, you know, do the thing while there. That is the opposite of what we want."

>>2705736
>>2705734
(in thought) all will die on this planet, i know this. We will all be wiped out one way or another. These fools think this fight is actually winnable by gathering resources.
I know better
The reckoning is upon us soon, and i will be at the fore front of it.
(IRL) Fine. whatever.

>>2705732
I'm sorry miss if you are offended but you did promise to eradicate my people

If you are to ask for forgiveness I would accept it

>>2705741
Of course not, my lord. It would be most unbecoming of a nobleman.

>>2705743
Im just so confused. Everything hates me. All my life i was adored and cherished and sought after by everyone i knew, then i was taken away and thrown into a dungeon where i was enslaved and starved. Something took pity on me. Something kept me alive. Whatever i said that angered you i said it out of pure anger not logic, i dont even remember my exact words now

>>2705752
>"Do not apologize for Anger. Anger is your strength. Anger is your greatest quality. When the Imperium you once thought existed only to serve you instead chained you and put you in a cage, a cage that killed your father, you felt two things: Anger and Despair. But you did not give into Despair. You discarded Despair, and are left with Anger!"

>"Anger at the Imperium, anger at those that dared to cage you!"

>>2705752
I accept that
When I was six years old they came. I saw my parents and all my belongings burn on the stake. I alone got away that is why I am who I am

>>2705760
Then you should kill them. All of them, no one specific just everyone who you think should die. I hope i fall into that category....

>>2705768
Why?
In you I se myself before I found the old and why would you hope I would want to kill you

>>2705736
I apreciate that you admit that I am important Commander.

>>2705771
I dont want to talk about this, especially with someone i barely know.
>she walks off to a near by hillside and sits

>>2705786
>Smokes his cigar
"Okay then, both the actual former nobles have walked away. Still waiting on Jay to finish the disguises, but as soon as she's done you're moving out."

>>2705820
>The audible noise of a head smacking against a glass wall can be heard
"Let."
>Smack
"Me."
>Smack
"OUT!"

>>2705822
"What the fuck is that?"

>>2705824
"I am rage!"
"I am hatred!"
"I am the tide of emotion that drives fathers to slaughter innocents in the name of the purity of his spawn!"
"I AM THE LORD OF SKULLS"
>Smack
"FUCK!"
"Hnngh, bring me the red-marked female, and i will emerge to assist you."

>>2705824
Sorry. I ate something really weird for lunch... You're talking to me, right?

>>2705829
"Oh yeah, I was wondering where you went out to. What do you mean when you say red-marked female? We have a few that could apply to."

>>2705833
"The woman.."
"Brunhilde."
"My concentration slipped for a moment and a bunch of horrors stuck me in a crystal maze."
>SMACK
"FUCK"
"I need her to guide me out of this fuck fest."

>>2705840
>He leans his head at Brunhilde, who is currently passed out on the table

>>2705842
"I will wait."

>>2705842
Hey soooo... You want to fill me in? I'm not exactly sure what happened or where I was. Come to think of it. That's the last time I let Antaloth "try something out" on me.

>>2705866
"Who are you again? The Bolter Bitches were on our tail, so now we're living in caves. We're going to go steal mining equipment to make these caves nicer"

>>2705869
They are called sororitas. Do not use inoficial names as they can be confusing.

>>2705893
"I can do whatever I want."

>>2705869
You mean the battle hoes? Adeptus sororitas? Oh, Cassius is my name. I just kinda... Seem to dissapear for extended periods of time. I think it has something to do with Antaloth.

>>2705907

"Actually, it's Adepta Sororitas, not adeptus."

>>2705903
I know this.
but it is hart to catalogue what you are talking about if you use inoficial names.

>>2705910
I just call them Sisters based on their other, low gothic name

>>2705910
Adeptus Adepta different slang different worlds.

>>2705911
Oh, I remember you. Weren't you the truck humper that was really REALLY annoying?

>>2705915
No that was the other one.
>sighs
Why do I have to deal with these brutes

>>2705913
No one is feminine and the other is masculine there is a big difference.

>>2705919
Is it racist if I say they all look the same?

>>2705920
No one cares about such minor differences

>>2705926
Thank you! Finally someone gets it! Right...?

>>2705929
No he got it wrong. It is a completely diferent category

>>2705943
Alright, do you have a penis or not? How the fuck do you determine the gender of what seems to be a machine?

>>2705944
You determine it by looking at the genes and from there it is quite easy.

>>2705943
I just call them Adeptus because
A. Its easier and simpler and
B.Its an imperial designation

>>2705842

Brunhilde still is asleep, not responding to anything around her. It seems that one recaf that kept her up for a good three days lead to a hard crash of some sort once it wore off.

>>2705968
You are not supposed to sleep during meating
>Cogran takes out a stim at stabs it into her

>>2705968
>Salfrin decides to wake her up with a good old bucket of cave water
Rise and smell the ashes
>He throws in some ashes from the firepit

>>2705968
>Angry yelling from the veil

>>2705973
>>2705974

Brunhilde would open her eyes slowly still seemingly tired despite the stim. Still she was awake now which was the important part. After a minute she forced herself up and said "What is it? I'm still tired...you know I think when I get the chance to sleep I will sleep quite well, unless I never get to and just die from over exhaustion..."

Regardless, we should put together a secondary team to wait in stealth to intervene should the nobles cover be blown due to grave stupidity on one of the actors parts.

If they are able to strike quickly enough after we are revealed, if it comes to it, we may be able to salvage the operation

In either case, all of those posing as guards or nobles, take these earpieces. They look vaguely like jewellery and will allow all of us to stay in contact

>>2705980
Were infiltrating a nearby mine to get needed supplies, we need non-mutated members to dress up as nobles

>>2705986
We also need guards.
They we can have those wear fully covering armour, so we could have moderately mutated members attend.

I also have two suits of functional sororitas power armour that I can lend toward the mission however it if we attempted to pose as a sister we would probably need a very good actor, some hair dye and a tattoo artist

>>2705980
"LET ME FREE BRUNHILDE."
"GRAAAAAAAAAH"
>Slam
>Can only be heard by Brunhilde now that she is awake

>>2705989
I'll take the armour of a guard

>>2705991
Make sure it is fully covering.
Also, take one of the bolters. We want to intimidate them.

>>2705993
Just make sure I can still wear my mask

>>2705986

"Oh, we are still doing that? I'm guessing I didn't get much in the way of time to sleep." Brunhilde would mutter before grumbling about sleep before she seems confused for some reason.

>>2705990

"How would I do that? And who are you? Sorry, your voice sounds familiar but I'm just tired so please jog my memory. Also what would happen if I free you?" Brunhilde mutters

>>2705995
No rest for the wicked and the damned

>>2705993
I think it would look more genuine if we used parade uniforms as the bodyguards of low nobility usually are there to show of and look impression and not to actually fight

>>2705995
"Hnngh, I am the Lord of Skulls."
"I marked you child."
"I need you to spill blood from the mark so i can find my way through this damnable maze."

>>2706001
But we want to give the impression that they are very high nobility for the ruse to work

>>2706001
>short bursts of beeping can he heard before he speaks
Acordingto my pict library he is correct

>>2706002

"Oh, it's you...can you be more descriptive or is it that simple? And who's blood? My own or someone elses, or does it not even matter." Brunhilde would mutter it was obvious she wasn't really fully awake.

>>2706004
High nobility love to surround themselves in flashiest and most expensive things

>>2706004
That will be harder to do as the high nobility is usually more well known than low nobility and they would probably still use parade uniforms as a show of power

"Oh, okay." Brunhilde would mutter before moving her hand under her jacket and the shoulder of her shirt and scratching at the mark on her shoulder for a bit, trying to scratch away until the skin broke and a small amount of blood would start to stick on her fingertips.

She stares at the organic chain sword for a bit before saying "Thanks. I'll possibly use it in the future if I end up in close combat, but for now I think I need some recaf." She would mutter as she held her hand out clearly exhausted still and now slightly more aware from the tingling pain from scratching her shoulder enough that she caused it bleed.

"Commander...recaf please?" Brunhilde would say, tired and still holding the chain sword she was given by the daemon. She probably would put it away once she woke up, at least putting it somewhere safe.

Brunhilde would simply take the drink and chug it down, allowing her to wake up, although seemingly put in quite an upset mood. She wouldn't say anything once she was put fully awake however, not even a thank you.

“He is right about there being a constant in this life and the next, but it is not blood and war. It is pleasure, and pain. The satisfaction of victory, the pain of loss, the highs of a drug, the lows of starvation. The perfection of an art, the burning of fires.”

“All that matters in life is that you exact pleasure from every moment, and inflict pain on those that would wrong you. All other things in life follow from this. It is a simple fact.”

“Sieze the highs of life, and deal out the lows from your enemy. Have all the things in life at your beck and call. Your men will follow you, respect you, you shall make them proud. Give your enemies all the pain you have experienced.”

Seeing the daemon having been fired upon by Ivris, Brunhilde charges at the daemon, in face she even dropped the chain sword it gave her and she literally tried punching the thing in the face.

At this point any anger in her has been triumphed by the will to live and the reasonable thought of fire being quite painful.

Brunhilde seems confused and in a state of calm. She felt pain and yet it wasn't as bad as it was before the daemonette came around, a part of it being oddly comfortable, oddly pleasurable. She didn't think much of it at the moment, just happy enough she didn't feel terrible and could actually stand up. So she forced herself to her feet and looked as the bodies were dragged off. Letting out a sigh she seemed not to care much that Ivris was dead, but really she was a bit upset about his death. Still she forced herself to speak to the oddly armoured man who proclaimed himself the new commander, saying simply "Did any rules change or not?...sir."
