Aviza’s com hissed and crackled with white noise as the Inquisitors voice barely came through, just enough for the Sister of Battle to make out what he was saying. “They are coming to pick me up? Good.” thought Aviza to herself. There was no point in replying, the com she had been using was now severely damaged due to the explosion that had happened only a few moments ago and tampering with it could cause it to stop working completely.
  
The Imperial Guardsmen that was leading the rest of the troops left the safety of his tanks interior and stood up on top of it yelling with anger and fear. “You say a Slanneishi cult has infiltrated this world? This news must be passed on to our superiors so it can be swiftly eliminated before we are overrun.”
  
Keeping herself calm and cool, Aviza responded with a tone of authority. “You will do no such thing Guardsmen, stand down and hold your tongue. This is your one and only warning. The information is to be between the present troops and a few trusted other individuals.”

The Guardsmen was talking to someone down inside of his tank before straightening him and responding with a threatening and loud “No.” 

With one swift movement, Aviza brought her pistol from its holster and fired a round with incredible accuracy at him. The round struck the man’s head with a crack as it traveled through his skull. His body fell limply to the side of the tank and rolled off onto the ground.
 
There was a moment of silence as Aviza still standing in her combat pose looked around at the rest of the Guardsmen around her who had frozen. “Am I clear?” she asked while looking back and forth to those around her. The silence remained for a moment before someone yelled out to reply for all those who remained silent. “Yes Celestian Aviza, your word is our command.”

Pulling herself back into her regular relaxed position, Aviza nodded her head once in acceptance. “Very good, I require a….” Not far from behind her, the sound of a heavy vehicle revved its engine before plowing through the wooden garage door that it had been waiting behind. “Hold your fire, they are with me!” yelled the Sister of battle as loud as possible before quickly taking cover as best she could upon the ground.
 
The Taurox flew past them in a mad dash.  After an impressive show of how the Taurox could be turned into a stunt vehicle, Aviza stood there silent among the others with the sound of the engine fading in the distance.
 
A while passed before Aviza spoke. “I said hold your fire, they are part of my team.” With a sigh, the Sister of Battle knew she was going to have to hoof it quite a distance while being wounded to get back to the safe house.
 
Then the realization hit her that she could easily commandeer any vehicle in the premises that she chose.  “I am in need of a vehicle to return to my squad and receive medical treatment,  anyone willing to assist me?” The Sister of Battle looked around at everything she could choose from with a moment of delight before spotting exactly what she wanted. “Someone order the pilot of that Valkyrie to land, I will be confiscating that.” 

One of the Guardsmen went wide-eyed and quickly contacted the pilot of the ship. With a low rumble, the Valkyrie vertically landed upon the lawn, and then the pilot jumped out. “Thank you.” Said Aviza politely as she walked up to the heavy multicombat fighter and positioned herself in the cockpit. A few moments later, the Valkyrie had vanished into the night sky leaving the pilot to take the place of the dead Guardsmen inside of his tank.
 
Trying to find the rest of her squad ended up being a simple task due to the unique vehicle they drove. Speaking into the Valkyries com, she quickly contacted the Inquisitor to inform him of where she was and where she was currently heading. 

“This is Celestian Aviza to Inquisitor Zhevon and squad, I am rapidly approaching your position. Currently heading back to the safe house to send to a couple injures then will make my way to Ecclesiarchal Chapel to report the findings to Canoness Superior Andromedai once healed. Keep in mind that she will undoubtedly want your presence there alongside mine for the report. Also, head’s up in about ten seconds.”
 
With that, she closed her com and turned all her attention to flying. Pushing the flight stick forward, the Valkyrie decreased its altitude quickly. When it reached about five feet (or) 1.5 meters from the top of the Taurox, Aviza quickly pushed forward on the thrusters and buzzed the vehicle at an incredible speed while the deafening roar of its engines echoed through the city. Pulling back sharply upon the flight stick, the fighter quickly climbed into the sky and vanished. 

A few moments later, the Valkyrie touched down upon the landing pad outside of the safe house where Aviza quickly left its cockpit and locked it secularly. Reaching out to the door of the safe house, the Sister of Battle froze with only one thought across her mind, [b]“Where is Lilith? Did I leave her behind?”[/b]
