"Safety is the first step to fighting against the enemies of the Imperium." Adrianne would smile before raising her fist and softly clanking the armored back of her fist against her plated chestguard, functioning much like an extra ribcage around her upper torso.
"One must live to serve the emperor. Ours is not to die, but to make our enemies do the dying. Half of a soldier's training, and usually the first he learns, is how to stay alive and take care of himself."

Adrianne then moved her hand to motion towards a small, bone like metallic tendril that stretched out under her chest, originating from her back where it connected to a black, artifical spine attached from the back of her suit, with dim, orange lights originating at the side of the black metal vertebra blades that stemmed from her refractor field generator. 

The Imperium had many enemies, and their numbers were seemingly endless. The empire's own assets however, were clearly not. Adrianne knew the virtue of sacrifice, and how it could sometimes be necessary, but as a general rule; it was a far better policy to stay alive.

"Push yourself too hard, Stukov, and you will soon have nothing more to give to the Emperor." Adrianne would say, motioning towards Stukov's throat where his voice augmentation had been installed.

As the Stukov was inspecting the blade of the staff, which had seemed to have garnered most of the armsan's interest, Adrianne simply smiled as she reached to pick up her own beer.

"The power blade is steeped in the raw essence of the warp. The blade is much older than the enchantment, which was added by my old mentor on Mordran V when the planet was visited by a warpstorm... " Adrianne explained, pausing for a moment as she looked away, before returning to Stukov.
"It enhances its power in the material world, but especially against creatures of the warp. It also serves as a reserve for me to draw from, should I ever need to amplify my power."

As Stukov's eyes began to burn like sapphires, and the room's temperature dropped sharply, Adrianne remained calm in her chair; almost as if neither Stukov's sudden outburst or the cold affected her in the slightest. Listening to the man talk with a patient gaze, Adrianne uncorked her beer can to take a sip, but would notice that nothing came out of it. The beer inside had been frozen solid.

[i]"I should have brought something with a higher alcohol percentage."[/i]

With a small look of dismay, Adrianne would simply put the frozen beer can away before returning her attention to Stukov.

"What do you do?" She finally said, having waited a couple of seconds after Stukov had finished his small burst of outrage.

"You continue doing what you have always done, Stukov. That which you have done your whole life aboard the vessels of the imperium. What you did recently at the factory. What you will do in the days to come. You will continue to serve the Emperor, using your old skills alongside your newfound powers to vanquish his enemies." Adrianne smiled, before standing up from her chair, having to hold it in place slightly as parts of the metal on the chair had frozen onto her suit.

"The Sisters will not touch you, for you are a member of the Inquisitor's retinue until he deems you unfit for service. You proved yourself in the factory, facing down daemons and cultists alike. That makes you eligible to be my student, my apprentice. I will guide you in the days to come in the ways of your new life, to make you a worthy asset to the Inquisitor, and ultimately, to the Imperium."

Adrianne turned to walk away with her staff in hand, before stopping by the door. There she eyed a panel by the wall, some of the button to control the temperature in the room. Clicking on some of them, she upped the heating in Stukov's room to begin a process of defrosting.

Turning her head around to give Stukov a final look, she pointed at him with her staff.

"As your new Master, my first orders to you are that you get something to eat, and then some sleep. And that's an order, armsman... "

Adrianne would suddenly pause, looking away for a moment as if something just crossed her mind, before glancing back at Stukov.

" ... or rather; apprentice."
 
And with that final world, Adrianne left Stukov's room, shutting the door behind her leaving him only to listen to the hum of the generator in the room as it began thawing the frost around him.
