"[color=ed1c24]Word Bearers.[/color]" "[color=a187be]That would explain the ritual activity that I sensed...[/color] " Adrianne muttered, searching her memories for references to the name. [i]"[color=f49ac2]They are welcoming you![/color]"[/i] Adrianne was no expert on the lore and history of the adeptus astartes; and she did not understand Nergui's particular hate for these kinds of traitors above the rest, whom to her were all equally despicable and fallen; yet she nonetheless possessed a rudimentary layer of knowledge, especially pertaining to chapters or warbands that could be of particular interest to her role as a Psyker. The Word Bearers were no Thousand Suns, yet they were able to reave and manipulate the warp through vile rituals and blasphemous acts. There was little doubt in her mind that whatever was weakening the barrier to the immaterium on this Forge World, the Word Bearers were playing a key role! "[color=bc8dbf]Our situation is becoming clear.[/color]" Adrianne started, switching to her squad comms so that the rest of the people could hear. "[color=a187be]The fallen Astartes known as the Word Bearers are involved in this. They are most likely,-[/color]" Adrianne was about to continue, but suddenly trailed off as her mask passed over the heavily armored form of Nergui, where the Psyker saw a completely dark, multi-armed shadowy humanoid form rubbing itself against the side of Nergui's armor. Despite the more than intimate contact and the fact it was all painfully visible to Adrianne, there was no way any of the blunts in the group would notice an ethereal void entity so clearly; which was still yet only an echo from the other side; and so the Psyker conveniently choose to ignore it and pretend like nothing as she continued. " [color=a187be]... they are most likely at the center of the strange warp anomalies that we have been seeing here. There is strong ritual magic at work here, on a large scale. It is unclear whether this ritual is only on a planet-based scale or on a system based scale, but the possible consequences of allowing the Word Bearers to complete their ritual will range from massive demonic incursion, century long warpstorms and possibly the entire planet being shunted into the warp![/color]" She knew she might have exaggerated the threat a little bit; while it was all a possibility some of it was more likely than other. But when it came to matters as serious as the ritual magic practiced by the Word Bearers, it was usually better to overestimate rather than underestimate the threat!
