Adrianne stood alone on the observation deck, the normally grim and dark interior around her lit up by the mesmerizing pink and yellow light of the warp outside the viewing ports. She was not wearing her helmet, her pale skin glowing in reflection to the unearthly light; whilst her snow white hair hung in a long ponytail that ran down to her back. She was not sure why she had come. Perhaps it was simply to get away from the rest of the blunt crew. Perhaps it was to give that poor navigator some room. Or perhaps it was just her own curiosity. Whatever subconscious reason might have drawn her to this deck, Adrianne let her violet eyes run across the fortified glass panels, where the currents of the warp lapped against the forms of the gellar field outside. Most of the shapes were little more than vague drifting mists or sparks of energy, but Adrianne could occasionally see small humanoid or bestial shapes; their distorted forms briefly appearing as they seemed to crawl over the ship, before vanishing as soon as they had appeared. [color=bc8dbf][i]"It's a whole universe out there, living parallel to our own. So close, yet so distant."[/i][/color] Adrianne muttered in her own private reflections, leaning against her staff-blade; the purple currents of the warp gleaming against the burnished gold of the eagle head decorating the hilt emblazoned with an open eye. [color=f49ac2]"Perhaps closer than you think." [/color]Another voice suddenly spoke in Adrianne's mind. That was when all of the tiny figures crawling across the surface of the glass suddenly vanished simultaneously. Adrianne raised an eyebrow, but she had not heard that they were making ready to leave the warp. She took a step forward, and just as she did; she could see another shape come into vision outside of the ship. Its distorted form was massive, with a vaguely human shape. What might have been its mist-wreathed head gazed down towards her window, extending a single clawed digit that rested harmlessly against the gellar-field. Adrianne tilted her head. She had seen many strange things whilst observing the warp, some greater and more majestic than this entity. But they had all been singular and isolated events. She had seen this entity multiple times however. A fact that disturbed something at the core of Adrianne's being, and caused the psyker to produce a scowl. [color=f49ac2]"What... exciting places... going... now?" [/color] The voice asked again in Adrianne's head, but it was distorted and fractured; presumably an effect of the gellar field. [color=bc8dbf]"Why would you want to know? You can't come with us anyway~"[/color] Adrianne teased in her own voice, whether or not the entity would even be able to hear her. She thought to continue, when suddeny the chime from her wrist mounted computer warned her of an incoming message. [color=00aeef][i]"This is Celestian Superior Andromedai Morgenstern, to the members of my retinue, you are to finish your current actions, gather your equipment for the mission at hand, and meet me in hanger bay Four-Two-Seven-Three-Three for final mission briefing and departure, that is all."[/i][/color] "So much for peace and quiet." Adrianne mused, before turning to look back up at the observation deck glass. But the entity outside the glass was gone, leaving only the roiling clouds of the warp. With violet eyes narrowing into a suspicious frown, the psyker studied the glass for a moment. Possibilities swirled around in her head, but she pushed them down; if only because some of them were too terrible to contemplate. By Terra's golden gates, she was an accomplished psyker; not a novice! "I am on my way." Adrianne replied as she turned on her heels and marched off, using her vox bead instead of her telepathy so as to not unnecessarily vex her commander; who was at the end of the day a sister of battle! On her way to the hangar bay, she veered off the most direct path; taking instead a longer detour that would keep her a good distance away from the bridge. The reason for this detour was because of a certain navigator living on the bridge. While all psykers were sensitive to the warp, the sensitivity of navigators was on a whole different level to Adrianne's own class. But it was not always a blessing. In her previous encounters with the navigator, he had complained ceaselessly about her own aura being like a noisy storm that blocked his vision. While she had her pride, Adrianne had from there on decided to keep her distance from her fellow mutant; if not because she felt some sympathy to the man, but also just as importantly because she had no desire to strand them in the warp! Having come close enough to the hangar bay, Adrianne decided to speed up her path. Channeling her powers, her body would suddenly vanish in a sparkle of violet energy. To Stukov who had been observing the doorway, he would suddenly see a flash of violet flame in the side of his vision as Adrianne appeared perpendicular to him and Andromedai. [color=bc8dbf]"Celestian."[/color] Adrianne nodded towards Andromedai as she sauntered over, her violet eyes passing to Stukov. [color=bc8dbf]"Stukov... how come you always beat me to these me to these meetings?"[/color] She inquired with a small smirk, peering around the mostly empty hangar bay. [color=bc8dbf]"Or the rest of the team for that matter!" [/color]
