I'll have a post up today-ish.

Aviza listened intently to every word that Vael 'Virisusai said about the Crimson Energy sword, and the special significance that it held to his people. She took no offense to the fact that he felt there was no honor to gain or to be lost from her using the weapon, his beliefs were his own. In fact, the Spartan had her own opinion on the use of the blade after listening to Vael, but would not share those thoughts with the Sangheili. However, she did comment on how he obviously thought she was ignorant of what the weapon actually was and how it functioned. "Thankfully, I am not woefully ignorant of how to use an energy sword, or how one functions. The holo-decks and training facilities have ensured that." Glancing at the Crimson Energy Sword once more, Aviza powered it down and attached it to her armor for later use. "I merely wanted to know if it would offend you or anyone else if I used it, but I do appreciate the information you have given me about the weapon, and its cultural significance."

Aviza would pause for a moment, carefully and gently removing her helmet, resulting in a soft, almost inaudible click. The helmet was now placed below her left arm for the time being, "We should move to the command deck and plan our next move from there, you lead and I shall follow."

The dumb A.I. that was built into Aviza's ARGUS-class Mjolnir was informing the Spartan III that the area the Mammoth was currently traveling though was arid, rocky desert that had a current high temperature. Aviza knew that the armor would make adjustments to help her stay nice and cool in such unfavorable weather, but wondered if the others had been lucky enough for such modifications to be installed into theirs. This thought ran through the Spartans mind as she walked through the interior of the Mammoth, also heading towards the armory, following a few of the others who had decided to do that same. Instead of putting her weapons into the armory locker, she had decided to re-arm and re-gear for whatever was next for them. New clips, a few new grenades, and a new melee weapon were carefully selected from the stock that was currently available. The melee weapon that Spartan Aviza had picked out was different from most others, while it was an energy sword, the blade was a bright red, unlike the vibrant blue that she had always seen, something about it had called to her, and she had answered. With the unique energy blade in hand, she approached Vael 'Virisusai and spoke.

"Pardon me Vael, but I wanted to ask you a personal question." She would power up the energy blade and show it to the Sangheili before her. "I hear that these energy swords hold a special and deeply profound meaning among your people. I do not wish to offend you or any of your kind, and wish to ask for your permission to wield this weapon upon the field of battle. I have seen blue energy swords upon the field of battle, but have never seen one that had a red blade before. Something about it feels, ominous, perhaps I have heard of red bladed energy swords somewhere in my past." Aviza paused for a moment as the memory came back to her, "Spartan Killers, the Silent Shadow, that is where I have heard about red energy swords." The Woman held up the unique energy sword to get a better look at it, "Perhaps using a normal energy sword would be better, less distasteful, and less disrespectful."

@BingTheWing Alrighty, thanks for letting us know.

Warhammer 40k: Enigmas of the Warp

First IC post is up.

Warhammer 40k: Enigmas of the Warp

Attican-Beta wing of the Milky Way - One hour from the Hyperion System - Zero seven hundred hours UST

The Empherian, an Inquisitorial Black Ship granted by the Inquisition to Celestian Superior Andromedai Morgenstern to serve as her personal vessel. While she had been put in command of star-ships in the past, the unique honor of being in command of such was not lost upon the Celestian. Standing at the bridge of the rarely seen and less welcomed strike cruiser, the imposing figure glanced over numerous panels that were being fed seemingly endless amounts of information about their current location, much of which passed by so quickly that she had little time to catch it. "Navigator, what is our current estimated time of arrival to the Hyperion System?" inquired Celestian Andromedai, her focus now turning away from the endless steams of information, and to the Imperial-sanctioned human mutant who ensured that they would not end up lost within the Warp.

"We are one hour out from our destination, Celestian Superior Andromedai." said the man in a dead, toneless voice. Clearly, his focus was upon ensuring that they would arrive at the destination, but knew that not responding to the question could also prove problematic, somewhere in the future. "An hour." repeated Andromedai under her breath, "That will suffice." Turning away from the man, The Celestian Superior swiftly made her way from the bridge and into the corridors of her ship, passing by other Imperial and Inquisitorial members who had chosen or had been chosen to accompany her and the rest of her retinue on their highly important mission.

Without having to make any physical contact with the com-system built into the helmet of her Sororitas power armor, Andromedai contacted every member of her retinue as a whole. Regardless of what they were currently doing at the moment, they would hear the message loud and clear, as if the Celestian Superior had confronted them in person. "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." the com would then cut itself off, being followed by silence.

The hanger that Celestian Andromedai had designated for their meeting was in fact where her personal gunship, the Typhon, was currently being prepared for departure. While she wished the Empherian could bring them to their first destination, Erathell, having the Black Ship suddenly appear or even be visible from the planet or orbital stations would undoubtedly draw unwanted attention, and easily give away the fact that the Inquisition was now within the system, something she wanted to keep secret, and would do so at high cost, if it came to that.

The door to hanger bay Four-Two-Seven-Three-Three opened to reveal that her personal gunship was nearly finished being prepped for departure, the Tech-Priests who still remained where finalizing the requested additions to the Typhon. It had taken her quite a while to get approval to have these customization's, some saw them as excessive, though with her position within the Imperium of Man, the others say head little power. This sleek and bizarre aircraft looked out of place among the other Gothic designs that were so common around them. It had proven itself time and time again in a large number of conflicts that ranged from space combat, to air combat, and of course air to ground combat, showing that the custom design and excessive firepower was being put to great use.

Andromedai approached the Typon and ran her left hand upon the black aircraft's outer right wing affectionately, observing the changes that had been made to it. "Celestian Andromedai." A male Tech-Priest approached her slowly while she was still in thought, "We have finished your requests upon the Typhon, and we shall be taking our leave now. I do hope that the additions are to your expectations." Andromedai would merely nod her head at the mans words. With nothing else to say, the remaining Tech-Priests left the hanger bay, leaving Celestian Superior Andromedai to stand at the side of the Typhon and await her retinues arrival.

Once everyone in the squad had informed Spartan Aviza that they were still indeed in one piece and alive, she approached the two ONI Spooks. Motioning with her left hand for the two of them to follow her, she would walk to a secluded area where the three of them could talk in private about their prior actions. "I am not going to ask why you two decided that it was a wise idea to run off to the Mammoth on your own without any orders to do so, in the middle of a fire fight." began Spartan Aviza, in a much more commanding tone of voice, one that showed slight irritation.

"What I will mention is that your actions could be considered by many as going AWOL, I am sure I do not need to inform you of what the punishment is of doing such. While I allow those under my command to take initiative, I also expect common sense to play its part. Your actions not only reflect upon me poorly, but also mankind, so I expect both of you to act accordingly. From now on, you will remain with the rest of the squad at all costs, you will follow my orders swiftly and to the letter. Am I clear? Good." Once Aviza had finished speaking, she quickly made contact with Shih, within her mind while walking back to the rest of the group.

"Would you mind sending a report of the current situation back to command for me, Shih?" asked Aviza. For the two ONI Spooks who she had just spoken to, Aviza would still be watching them closely, and would continue to do so.
