Still hiding behind the metal riot barrier, Celestian Andromedai held her ground as the seemingly endless heavy bolter fire pelted her location. The heavy weapons explosive rounds would occasionally fly over her head and detonate, though thankfully none had managed to bypass her Rosarius, and were little more than a nuisance as long as she did not take any direct hits. Leaning to her left, Andromedai peaked around the riot barrier for a few short seconds, trying to get a view of where she could fire off a few rounds or perhaps toss a grenade. What she observed was that the window where the heavy bolter had been set up, now had a hastily set up bunker-like shield set up over it. Smalls arms fire would do little, but her Adrastus Bolt Caliver could possibly strip the metal shielding off of it and give her enough room to throw a grenade or other explosive into the reinforced position. 

[color=00aeef]"I may be able to weaken their reinforced position, but I will take some fire from doing so."[/color] said Andromedai as she readied to fire. Peaking back around the left side corner of the riot barrier, Andromedai fired off a well placed hail of heavy bolter fire at the reinforced position upon the sixth floor of the apartment building. This was immediately answered with heavy bolter fire from whoever was manning the weapon nest. The rounds barely missed Andromedai as she quickly moved back into cover, deciding that they would have to be more creative with their approach. Turning to face the rest of her retinue, Celestian Andromedai overhead the conversation between Stukov and Adrianne. They were apparently planning to teleport themselves up into the apartment complex to flank the reinforced position, and Andromedai wanted to join them, but decided to refrain from mentioning that. [color=00aeef]"That could work, just be cautious, you two do not know what you will find within the apartment."[/color] said Andromedai as she merely observed the two vanish from where they had been taking cover with a bright, violet flash of light that left lingering after images within her vison. 

For a moment, it seemed as if nothing had happened. The heavy bolter fire continued to pelt her position, and Celestian Andromedai was beginning to wonder if they had been teleported to the wrong apartment complex, or perhaps somewhere much, much worse. Andromedai opened her mouth to inquire if Stukov and Adrianne were alright when suddenly, one of the cultists flew through the front wall of the sixth story apartment complex, followed by flaming debris that rained down upon her. [color=00aeef]"Clearly, you two have the situation under control."[/color] said Andromedai as the heavy bolter fire from above suddenly ceased. Using the break in fire as an opportunity to advance into the apartment complex. As she kicked down the front door of the apartment complex, she replied to Medaira's question, [color=00aeef]"You have been pondering? Don't think to hard or you may hurt yourself. All kidding aside, I doubt those were the only hostile forces. We will encounter more as we head deeper into the apartment complex, I am sure."[/color]

Sweeping her Adrastus Bolt Caliver from the left and then to the right, she noticed that there were currently no hostiles within the immediate area. Andromedai did not lower her weapon though, and kept it at the ready, and would fire upon any movement that was not friendly. [color=00aeef]"Cole and Medaira, follow behind me, watch your corners and your our backs."[/color] Taking a few steps forward, Andromedai immediately noticed the gold and blue decorations that were excessive and intricate. [color=00aeef]"Sure feels like a Tzeentch base rahter than something Khorne."[/color] Flipping a small switch upon the side of her Adrastus Bolt Caliver, Andromedai activated the weapons Adrastite directed energy beam. [color=00aeef]"Everyone regroup on the first floor, we will decide our next move from there."[/color] said Andromedai, who noticed that the apartment complex was oddly quiet, except for their own movements through the building. Taking a few steps forward once more, Andromedai felt a low rumble through the floor boards beneath her feet. 

Taking a grenade from her belt, Andromedai prepped it before tossing it far down the hallway in front of her. It would land upon the ground with a metallic noise that echoed through the apartment complex before detonating. The explosion knocked paintings off of walls and sent splinters from furniture and other debris flying in every direction. Along with the detonation and debris, arks of bright blue electricity shot across the hallway in front of them, barely missing Andromedai and her squad. [color=00aeef]When in a Tzeentch base, expect traps."[/color] said Andromedai as she stepped forward as soon as the arks ended. Leaning forward, she would expect the traps that had been placed. [color=00aeef]"These traps were made to stun anyone that entered them, not kill them. They want us alive after all, but for what reason, I wonder?"[/color] said Andromedai as she stepped forward and pointed towards the end of the hallway where a new door had been exposed from the blast of the grenade. [color=00aeef]"There is our entrance into said Tzeentch base, I will take lead."[/color] Andromedai would carefully but quickly move forward towards the door, reaching out she gripped onto its handle and opened it just enough for one of Andromedai's flashbangs to be slipped through. Prepping one of the stun grenades, she tossed it through the opening of the door then closed it for a moment, waiting for it explosion. Once it did go off, Andromedai would kick open the door and began heading down a set of lavish marble stairs and even more lavishly decorated hallway. At the end of it, was a massive dome shaped room, painted upon the ceiling was an image of Tzeentch himiself. Andromedai quickly glanced away and noticed that there was only one door in front of them, but it was massive, and seemed to be sealed off by some sort of warp runes.

[color=00aeef]"I was expecting a base of sorts but, this is more than what I had in mind."[/color] said Andromedai as she she raised her weapon and readied to fire upon any hostile that may show itself up her. For the moment, nothing happened, but then a sickening wave of energy washed over the room, and the image of someone that matched the image of the previously described Daemonette appeared in front of them. Andromedai instantly fired upon the hostile, but the energy beam went right through her, it was merely a warp holographic image cast before them. 

The Daemonette now spoke, [color=f49ac2]"So this is the Inquisitorial retinue that has discovered my presence, and our small shrine to Tzeentch.[/color] The Daemonettes voice was [i]smooth, calming, peaceful, non-threatening, welcoming, why would you want to fight her?[/i] [color=f49ac2]"I am Lillith, and you mortals are so easily predicted, such simple creatures that I have become rather fond of. I know each of you, your names, your mission here, your movements through the city and beyond. I enjoy knowing these things, and also know what it is you are after. You are here to clear out Chaos infiltrators, cultists, and any other forces that may impede upon your Imperium of Man. I can give you all of this information for nothing in return. For I already have what I want, and have already achieved my goal within the system. So, Andromedai, Stukov, Medaira, Cole, and of course Adrianne."[/color] The Daemonette winked slyly at their Psyker, before continuing what she was saying, [color=f49ac2]"What shall it be? Will you accept my offer of information or shall we engage in the bloodshed you and your type are all so familiar with?"[/color]
