Inquisitor Alexius' Cutter departed from one of the newly outfitted Battleships of the Imperium Reborn's Fleet. He had chosen not to arrive aboard [i]The Wandering Chronos[/i] and leave it behind in Arexia Prime's system for several reasons. First being that the Battleship itself, formidable though it was, was not fully crewed and therefore not ideal for a protracted battle situation. Second being that the ship was the Ordo Chronos' base of operations, training grounds, and personal abode, he would not risk its destruction or damage in battle at this stage, even if they had overwhelming numbers here. The Ordo's purpose was to serve as the new Inquisition of the Imperium Reborn, and that had to take priority over the current martial situation of the campaign's beginning. Besides, he'd given Lord Corbec almost all of the rest of his fleet and army to command, he felt the Lord-Militant wouldn't begrudge him one Battleship.

Thus, he'd obtained private transport aboard the newly formed Navy. He did his best to keep a low profile about the situation, mostly out of his desire for privacy in thinking about what to do about the negotiations over the Forge-Moon along with all of the other rogue elements that seemed to be cropping up into the Imperium by the week, but also out of caution about who had been spying on his fleet. He had read Lord Corbec's message before making his arrangements to depart, and figured that although he could not pursue the contents now, he thought it wouldn't hurt to be too careful. He'd also sent Inquisitor Varius off on his Special Assignment to the Relictor's Starfort, and under the terms of Special Assignment, he was not to communicate with Alexius via regular, overt channels. Thus, he'd heard nothing of his Inquisitor's reception there, but he wasn't too worried given his discussion with Captain Lattore earlier.

In any case, the burst of conflict immediately following the entry into the Forge-Moon's Orbit surprised him. He didn't expect they would encounter resistance so early. He hoped that whoever it was, the negotiations were not already blown. Once the Cutter crew got the clear to move, they set a course through the fleet to [i]Saint's Chariot[/i]. 

Entering onto the bridge alone, he saw Gregori already there among his crew, and the Astartes Captain Tyros who towered above everyone else in the room. He entered calmly in and made small conversation, nodding respectfully to the Astartes before turning to the new Emperor.

"[color=00a651]Captain Tyros. I come as requested your Imperial Majesty, hopefully that reception outside is not indicative of what the situation of the Forge-Moon is. Though I must admit, I always though Forge-Moons taken by the Archenemy to be not so . . . pristine in nature. If a Forge-Moon can be called pristine.[/color]"
