[color=1a7b30]"By all means ma'am. I've no problem talking about anything I'm not forbidden from speaking of. I may probe you for information as well, if the situation warrants it."[/color] Ansgar returned the soft smile with a brief, polite nod before returning to a neutral, and more comfortable, seating position. It left him staring at the opposing bulkhead, mulling over the fact that he hated flying. Every descent, atmospherically, had ended with the craft in question being in no condition to return back to its hanger. Be it from anti air fire, or the sheer stress of entering into the atmosphere of the planet as it was twisted and tortured by the forces of Chaos. Her lack of reaction to the tyranids told him enough, she had never faced them, and he considered her blessed in that regard. He'd been informed that the lack of sanctioned psykers, upon the arrival of his regiment, had been because most had gone mad and required summary execution for their own safety shortly after the splinter fleet arrival. Something about a shadow that the tyranid cast over the sector. A high cost campaign, given the tyranids were the least of the problems, but that was considerations for another day, for now, further briefing was being given.

	The briefing raised all sorts of red flags in the Krieger's head when considering the situation at hand. Likely infiltration by the forces of Chaos in the various echelons of the government. After action reports had indicated, before his reassignment to this retinue, that it had been internal infiltration and corruption, like a cancer, and then it erupted into the system wide conflict that drew in the Ordos Malleus. A slowly tightening grip on his shotgun was the only betrayal of his inner thoughts to those perceptive enough to notice the subtle tightening of a grip, and the sound of his gloves over their entry into the planet's atmosphere and descent. Using a central point of power in the system as a spring board to corrupt and invade the rest, this time to include the Imperium farther abroad? All the signs pointed to another retreading of his not so distant past.

	[color=1a7b30]"Ma'am, how much singular power does the planetary governor still hold? Coupled with that, how steadfast are the local guard and arbites forces? PDF should be written off if we suspect infiltrators have already arrived. If the planetary governor relies on a network of individuals of note, we have to identify the most vital to planetary operation and security and ensure they remain loyal."[/color] The krieger was already mentally planning a worse case scenario. Guard and Arbite forces, proper Guard, not PDF, could provide instrumental manpower in a worse case scenario where martial law and lockdowns would need to be implemented. Which was where the Arbites came in then as well, as they would be able to utilize the Guard manpower in forming effective cordons and lock downs. Coupled with having to look into ganger and other activity, and evaluate whether they were corrupted by Chaos, or simply criminals that could be employed as irregulars. Facing against the tyranids had forced the Guard commanders to employ irregular forces, who were more than happy to do so once it was apparent the tyranid wouldn't be taking prisoners.

	[color=1a7b30]"Also, we are not exactly equipped for subtle, undercover activities ma'am. I pray you have a plan to address that, or the sight of a Sister of Battle, mercenary, the tallest psyker in the sector, and the shortest krieger in the sector is going to rumble things rather quickly."[/color]
