[hr]

When the Imperial Guard came to came to finally back them up The Covent Shrine had come under attack. As fire rained from the sky, the sisters protecting the shrine drove the attackers out. Once the Shrine was secure. Sister Iona offered her squad to assist in securing the sector that housed the shrine. As thanks to for assistance Shines commander allowed the Imperial Guard and PDF to make use of the shrine as a supply point and make use the shrines makeshift medical facility. Meanwhile, the sisterhood took in those displaced by the fighting until the situation had stabilised. Young girls orphaned by the fighting quickly found themselves under the care of the order. 
When the fighting stop the order took in many girls looking to join them. There they be subjected to the harsh screening process that all seeking to join went thought. Those that passed were allowed to join the order and begin the brutal training that all sisters had to endure. Those that didn’t were told to double their prayers to the emperor and attend sermons held. Then maybe they could join.
Flushed with new recruits. The order plans to grow looked like they’d come sooner then even Ishitta panned. But it did not matter the order would grow and please the Canoness.

When it came time for the crusade to being, those of the order entered into prayer. Praying the will of the emperor would guide and protect the sisters leaving.

Ishitta had been busy overseeing preparations, making sure the last of the supplies generously given by the embodiment to ensure the Order was fully supplied for the crusade to come. So much so by the time she had learned of what was going on in the lower hives and had her sister ready. The Imperial Guard had already come to the aid of her sisters. Something that enraged her to no end. Put over all she was grateful. So much, so she personally a sent a transmission to thank the Imperial Guard and had ship send a few of the orders best purity seals to them. 

When it came time to depart Ishitta made sure she was the bridge of her ship. Waiting for the order to enter the shallow depths of the warp. The atmosphere on the bridge on of excitement of anticipation. As each member of the bridge staff went about their duty. Until the comm officer notified of an incoming transmission, from the embodiments ship.  

As the embodiment spoke Ishitta glance around her bridge and saw in those moment he spoke everyone had stopped working. Listening intently to the emperor many nodding in approval of his words. The moment embodiment finished speak a cheer rose up from the Redeemers bridge crew one Ishitta was sure echoed throughout the entire vessel. It brought a smile to Ishitta lips. It was the first time she’d seen her crew so worked up this way. Positive right now she could order them to fly into depths of the warp, and they’d do so in the name of the embodiment.
With his speech over the Redeemers, bridge crew began running of the strand checks before the ship entered the warp. Giving the order to enter the chaotic realm the moment it was time to do so.

The month in the warp had been spent in prayer and drills. The sisters who had the honour of coming on this crusade wanting to make sure they were ready for anything. Having no idea what to expect when the ship returned to real space. Weapons and armour were blessed and reblessed and new purity seals made. But as the month of warp travel dragged on the sisters grew restless. They eager to prove themselves to the embodiment.

The first chance came the moment they left the warp, as the fleet reentered the void. In the midst of a Choas fleet. Ishitta ordering her ship engage the moment it was able. To unleash the Redeemers full fury upon the Choas fleet. While staying close to the fleets battleships. Even if Ishitta hated Choas, she was no fool. She knew her ship was powerful and could take on all but the most powerful of warships. She didn’t wish to see her vessel take unneeded damage. In case it was needed, support ground forces on the forge moon.

As the battle drew to close. Ishitta was pleased with the performance of her crew. Watching as what remain of the Choas fleet fled. She wanted to give chase but had not been ordered to do so. So as difficult as it was she ordered the Redeemer into a low orbit of the forge moon and her the entirety of her sisters and the few land vehicles they had to be ready to deploy at a moments notice. Ishitta wanting to send her sisters to the moon to cleanse all chaos forces from the surface of the moon. But she swore the order to the Embodiment so had to wait. Yes, this was a mere test. One her order would pass and surely be rewarded by late god Emperor. 

When she was summoned to the Embodiments ship, Ishitta wasted no time in boarding her lander and travelling to the Saint's Chariot. She was alone this time as she marched the battleships halls.
Upon arrival, Ishitta knelt before the Embodiment. 
[color=ec008c]”Embodiment, I come as requested. My sisters stand ready to deploy. You had only given the order. Your will is that of the late god emperor and is our command. We are eager to prove ourselves.”[/color] She spoke her head hung low out of respect. Having spoken she rose and took her place. Waiting for the Embodiment to begin whatever he had called them for.
