The Brothers Castigus and Laszlo were fairly recent arrivals to the world of Skuberrima. They had come after a recent failed engagement in the Black Legion's name forced them to hijack a ship and after some toying with the Captain they ascertained the location of the pirate colony. Knowing the crew formerly serving the two under duress would be vengeful the moment they were free of their shackles the two Marines left quickly leaving no trace of themselves on the ship save a few crewmen missing. Had they even been aboard? Perhaps it was void-sickness of some sort, being too long in space and the warp did nasty things to one's memory.... It did not take either of them very long to learn the things the Captain of their previous vessel skipped when telling the two Marines about Skuberrima, and they very soon learned of a certain Eromulus Krynne. He was on a quest to find artifacts at the very heart of the planet which Laszlo knew he could make better use of. But he also knew he wouldn't get to them himself, and so he'd swallow his pride and go with Castigus to take this as a job. They were for the moment without friends, funds, or time. Thus they quickly made contact with the Pirate Lord and informed him that they would be promptly joining his warband. But though they took this job they did much research. The asked about him, gaining information to make sure this wasn't the sort of man to double or triple cross the Astartes. They needed to make sure that the man was sane and competent, rather than one that would send them to their deaths in a giggling fit. Eromulus Krynne proved at least vaguely trustworthy, however. His reputation wasn't impeccable, but in the realm of Chaos such was impossible. The Brothers would have to watch their backs of course but they didn't have to keep a blade drawn at all times. Time to meet their employer was approaching, and as was the nature of both Legionnaires they came aboard unseen, unknown. Not a single crewman would witness the arrival of the Marines, the few who came close would be given a tap on the head for a nap. Prowling through the ship they made sure they found out the layout of it, learned all they could of it lest they might need the upper hand upon the merchant. It was... interesting to find out that clearly a servant of Nurgle had occupied a part of the ship, evidence of his victims present left and right. But they couldn't linger trying to find secrets of the ship, at least not yet. They went to the lounge where they were to meet the pirate Lord but they maintained secrecy. They went inside, still sticking to the shadows and moving right by the guards. It was quite the motley crew assembled. They were individuals of varying abilities, shapes, sizes and of course competencies. Forth came the apparent Nurglite fellow, whom they listened to. He finished his speech with a question and before it could be answered Laszlo stepped forward from the shadows behind two of the heavily armed Guards. Where did he come from? How did he hide the damn brightly glowing eyes of his helmet in the shadows, surely one would be able to see the two big green flares? The Space Marine did not give a chance for these questions appearing in everyone's head to be properly pondered, speaking up. "[b]Brother Laszlo - Black Legion - at your service.[/b]" he introduced himself, having painted his armour black beforehand but making sure he did not use any of their heraldry. The looked to Castigus, letting the monstrous Night Lord introduce himself.
