Ansgar was silent as he assisted in the mop up operations against the surviving Orks, the rocket ork careening about the room before crashing in a rather spectacular manner. Beyond monitoring to ensure that it wasn't going to impact and collide with any of the friendly forces present, he dismissed it from his mind and focused on keeping the Orks at bay as they got torn to shreds by the Warp powers and firepower brought to bear. After a rather brief slaughter, all of the Orks were dead and some still burning, which attested to the fact the compound he was using was highly effective. Rising from his kneeling position, the Krieger fell in line as the group started moving out for the lift as the Celestian spoke on the matters at hand.

The lift ran for quite some time, but it was not too long all things considered. Returning below surface on Krieg after training exercises had far longer lifts only to go through necessary scrubs to prevent bringing anything dangerous from the surface into the hives. Going up always meant more training, which was always a welcome thing, even if shipping out to a warzone would have been a far more welcome thing. However, idle thoughts had no place right now, and Ansgar checked over his flamer while riding up the lift, considering the potential corrosion factor was far higher than usual. As expected, the flamer was still fine and undamaged, so he returned to his idle position, waiting for the lift ride to end.

Once the doors swung open, Ansgar swept in along the left, scanning the room looking for trouble. No bodies, no sign of struggle, another anomaly. As if the entire staff had simply gotten up and walked out without a single word spoken. However, orders were given out, and Ansgar moved over to the security console, glancing at the systems, and a fair number of errors were already glaring at anyone trying to get information from the system. Mostly input errors, and after a testing thump on the side of the console failed to fix anything, a muffled sigh could be heard as Ansgar set the flamer down beside him and broke out his shovel. [color=598527]"Beginning field repairs as feasibly possible."[/color]

Using his entrenching tool, he removed the side panel of the console, and a small amount of oily smoke flowed out of the exposed internals of the console. He was no enginseer, but he knew an overloaded system when he saw it. Something had shorted parts out, and it was visibly obvious what was shorted, and what wasn't. Thankfully, being a former Engineer, he still recognized enough of the internals from working on vehicles assigned to his Engineering section to see what was broken and what could be repurposed. After rerouting some power cables, and nearly shocking himself several times, most of the errors on the console cleared and the Krieger hammered the plate back in place with his shovel's handle. At this point, Staudinger caught wind of the trouble Adrianne was having with the vox. He heard the jumble of numbers spouted out of the vox, as well as her jammed vox spewing static, and Ansgar spoke plainly. [color=598527]"That is a Mechanicus personal language, enginseers used it when blessing our Breaching Drills. My vox is still operational, I have an idea."[/color]

Turning back to the security console, the Krieger began shifting through vox channels, starting with the ones he knew and then working through ones that, as an Engineer, he had been instructed to use when contacting the Enginseers for assistance as needed with the Breaching Drills. The Emperor saw fit to smile down upon his efforts, it seemed, because he came across a line with different binary code being exchanged between multiple sources, which was roughly interrupted when the Krieger butted in, speaking plainly into the vox. [color=598527]"This is Inquisitorial Agent Staudinger. Ranking Mechanicus Official in charge, report location and status."[/color] After a brief pause, a mechanical voice, though still human enough to retain it's feminine qualities, responded. 

[color=0076a3]"We were processing when to expect competent investigative forces to arrive, clearly Alpha was blessed with correct cogitation. Techpriestess Malig, and remaining Skitarii. Currently located in tertiary power plant, awaiting the Magos to return from the Titan."[/color] Ansgar glanced at the Titan which their psyker had already mentioned was clearly afflicted and suffering from unknown problems. Acting accordingly, he gestured for the Psyker to take his place assisting the Arbitrator as he walked over to the malfunctioning vox, still spitting out binary and garbage code. [color=598527]"Techpriestess, I am about to broadcast unknown code and tech language, translate, report, and proceed to the control center. Consider the Magos overruled."[/color] Without waiting for a response, Ansgar transmitted a potion of the looping code and binary being spouted out of the ruined vox on the console. After a few moments, a rather clipped response was present from the Techpriestess. [color=0076a3]"Besides trash code and blasphemy, the only intelligible code comes out in Low Gothic as 'The Machine is God'. The rest cannot be trusted to vox, expect us soon."[/color]

The vox switched off on the Techpriestess' end made the end of the conversation clear, and Ansgar returned to the security console, shifting a vid pict feed, spotting a small group of Mechanicus forces exiting the room marked as a the tertiary power plant. Quickly notable was the likely [url=https://orig00.deviantart.net/9011/f/2016/062/3/f/millie_the_techpriestess_by_blazbaros-d9tt4yq.png]Techpriestess Malig[/url] and there were a handful of Skitarii following her out as well. Of note were several [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/01/17/02/011702264a1b4b333111a4db0c8ae397.jpg]Tech Guard[/url] that stood out from the typical Skitarii forces. Ansgar spoke out plainly instead of over the Vox, informing the rest of those present of what was occurring. [color=598527]"Contact has been made with a surviving Techpriestess and her Skitarii forces. Expect them to arrive momentarily, I will monitor their progress while the Arbites maintains general sweeps."[/color]
