Sister Superior Laedi[/center]

Arrival on Elpos III was smoother than expected if delayed. What the Inquisitor, and retinue would find though when they stepped off their ship into the port was something very different than what they had expected. Before them were five Battle Sisters, none of which bearing the mantle of Canoness, rather the highest ranking was simply a Sister Superior. Two rhinos were also parked behind them likely to be the Inquisitor, and retinues means of travel while they were on Elpos III. Regardless the sisters were rather unremarkable, their hair cut short, and in varying natural colors, except for the Sister Superior who wore hers in the standard bowl cut, and platinum white. Each carried a bolter, and a short sword, except for once more the Superior who carried a bolt pistol on her hip, and a chainsword on the opposite hip.

The Sister Superior stepped, forward, but stopped as a procession of clergy, and pilgrims paraded by the open garage of the port. The clergy members dressed in bright white, and gold heads held high, and bits of fat jiggling around on various points of their bodies. Meanwhile the pilgrims looked defeated, their skin tight against bones, bodies malnourished by fasting, many of them with eyes sunken as they shuffled slowly behind those that served the God Emperor so fervently. For a moment her eyes had turned, as did all the other sisters who watched the procession closely as if they might suddenly attack. Once more the Superior looks back to the Inquisitor, and takes a deep breath. “Apologies Inquisitor Karthis, but we are all on edge. Things are not what they were last you were contacted.” Her lips purse for a moment as she considered how to continue.

The sound of autogun fire could suddenly be heard in the distance, and a large wheel vehicle went peeling down the street, with an Arbiter hanging out of an open sliding door with shotgun in hand before disappearing in the distance. “As you can see things are rather, disruptive at the moment, a cult has sprung up naming itself ‘the flames of the Emperor’, having seen some kind of vision of the Emperor burning the entire Galaxy they believe that the Emperor is going to come purge everyone, and only have those who follow the way of Flames be reborn.” A single hand reaches up pushing hair from her brow, her eyes looking over the retinue. “Also I apologize Canoness Phaedra was not here to welcome you. She has gone missing along with three other superiors a week ago, we haven’t heard or seen from them since. I’m Sister Superior Laedi. I also feel the need to apologize for having a less than acceptable escort, you see the Followers of the Flames have been, attacking randomly throughout the city so most of the Sisters are currently guarding it, as they have tried to take it twice now.” 

Turning and walking towards one of the Sororitas rhinos, the other sisters spread out scanning the perimeter. “Please all of you accompany me in here, the other sisters will follow behind us, should something take place I would not want it to be on my head that one of your company fell on my watch.” It was then that several explosions crackled off in the distance. “And don’t worry about those. That’s the Execution square, the Followers of the Flame have turned it into a small fortress, and the local PDF are trying to break down their defenses with rockets.”
