Adrianne watched the brief carnage unleashed by the newcomer with amazement, and the way she effortlessly dispatched the chaos spawn. Truly, whoever this Maya was, she possessed great power - and not just that, but an expert control over it as well.

But she also sensed another presence within her also reacting to Maya, a greedy desire that quickly flashed by her.

[color=f49ac2]"[b][i]I want that one![/i][/b]"[/color] The same deceptively sweet and wicked voice echoed through the back of her head. Adrianne shook it, tilting her head as her violet eyes drifted to the side to peer into empty air.

[color=a187be]"Beat it. You are not invited."[/color] She muttered. The voice did not say anything more, at least for the time being. Yet Adrianne could feel its presence growing stronger. Whatever Maya had done, the newcomer seemed to have awakened a devious interest in whatever entity was stalking her from opposite plane.
But that was an issue for a later time. Adrianne marched on, walking to the rest of the party and felt a measure of relief to see Stukov mostly intact.

[color=a187be]"I never thought I would see a Sister of Battle use herself as a shield to protect a guardsman."[/color] Adrianne commented to Stukov with a sly smile. 

Yet said smile would vanish later when they uncovered the fake governor's office. Adrianne peered down at the book indicated by Andromedai.

[color=a187be]"It is without a doubt touched by the warp."[/color] She stated, tilting her head as she watched the tendrils move about the book. Indeed, it may be an understatement, Adrianne thought. The thing was soaked in it!
She raised her staff, muttering a brief incantation of warding before tapping the edge of it against the book. A brief surge of vile smoke puffed up from the point of contact, dissipating into the air and bringing with it a foul smell of burnt cinders.

[color=a187be]"If this cult is Tzeentchian in origin, the book could contain vast troves or secrets; or an endless web of lies and deceptions. It could even contain both."[/color] Adrianne began to explain.
[color=a187be]"I can use my power to ward the book, but it perhaps for the best if no mortal flesh touches this thing until we are in a safer location. Medaira... "[/color]

Adrianne turned to raise an eyebrow towards the tech-priestess; fully expect to find Medaira already digging up the floorboard to get at the circuits below or disassembling the governor's desk or something.
[color=a187be]" ... do you know the protocols for containing dangerous warp artifacts?" [/color]
