Adrianne visibly raised an eyebrow at the mention of Chaos and Slaaneshi forces working together.
"Really?"
To hear of those two widely different forces suddenly working together came as a surprise to the Psyker. Although she was not an expert of the subject, she having studied mostly the practical application of the warp back at her old academy as opposed to going deep into its lore, she was nonetheless taken aback by the idea that such wildly different elements of chaos could align themselves, even for a brief, temporary goal.
That the decadent, arrogant and extravagant followers of Slaanesh would ever even consider co-existence, let alone collaboration, with the filth-mongering and diseased slaves of Nurgle meant that things were either very desperate for them, or that a supremely powerful persona had taken charge of the chaos forces in the sector.
So lost was she in her inner monologue that she was again surprised when Andromedai suddenly adressed her.
“Psyker Adrainne, it is good to see you again, we keep ending up fighting along side each other these days, it seems. ”
"Well... I'm not sure if that's a good, or a bad sign!" Adrianne remarked, with a slightly joking tone as she smirked. Indeed, one could never be so sure when it came to any elements associated with the Ecclesiarchy. They had long since taken a cue from general politics when it came to veiled threats.
Looking down at the shorter woman as she spoke, Adrianne would eventually turn her head towards Andromedai.
"Inquisitor, if I may come with a suggestion." She remarked, slightly raising a hand - only to lower it was she remembered that the bridge of the cruiser was no schoolroom!
"Rather than wasting our time killing low-ranking chaos mooks, we should focus on the leadership." She said, taking a step forward, naturally pushing Vala out of the way, whilst also remaining careful as to not brush into Andromedai, lest the sister suddenly get a "Justification" for purging the entire ship for supposed heresy.
"The fact that the slaves of Slaanesh and Nurgle forces are working together means that there is a very strong leadertype for the chaos forces in this sector. I believe our chief goal should be to eliminate this figure, whoever... or whatever, it might be. By doing so, we will undo the at-best fragile cooperation between our enemies, and perhaps leave some of the job of killing them to each other."
Adrianne finished, a slight smirk on her lips.
Indeed, at times, Chaos was as much an enemy to itself as the Imperium ever could be. That was the downside of relying on an army of egocentric, overzealous psychopaths. The servants of different chaos gods almost hated each other as much as they did the Imperium, and sometimes, even more. If they could disrupt that cooperation, it meant that at worst, the enemy became much less coherent and effective, and at best, they might actually start killing each other!
