(Blackbird of Chernobyl)


While Raynor had a mental breakdown and a few of the others attempted to calm him down, Celestine drew in her surroundings, noticing that they were drawing more attention than what was apparently normal. With every moment that passed, her concern grew, eventually it reached the point of where her inaction was causing more harm than good. Taking the initiative, The Blackbird of Chernobyl reached out to the nearby DNA scanners, attempting to momentarily mask their passage. Progress was being made, but then suddenly lost, the systems changed, as if someone on the other side of the technology was actively fighting back against her presence. Opening her coms, she informed the team of what just happened, "I tried masking our movements through the DNA scanners, but something is preventing me from doing so. This is concerning, perhaps we have already been discovered?

There was a short pause while Celestine thought of their options before speaking once more. "We can not skip out from the DNA scanners sadly, if we avoid them it will look very suspicious, but on the other end of the coin if we go through them they will record our DNA and may cause more trouble for us in the future. I give us around a minute before trouble shows up? So we should make a choice on our next course of action, I vote the subways and unfortunately passing through the scanners." As soon as she stopped speaking, her helmets HUD started to flash, and a message showed up in the right hand side of it. The message was mostly corrupted, but one word did stand out, RAGNAROK. "Oh, okay that is not good..." commented The Blackbird of Chernobyl into the teams coms, under her breath.

"Perhaps reaching out and getting closer to the anomaly is not the best idea for the moment?" Celestine managed to say as she reached out with her left hand, attempting to place it upon Sparky's right shoulder. Unfortunately, the hand did not make contact, and before she could say anything else, the world around her suddenly changed. There had been a blinding light, followed by the feeling of free falling, then suddenly finding herself standing somewhere. It took a few short seconds for the disorienting stun to ware off from whatever had happened, but when it did, Celestine found herself standing in a very different looking Times Square than the one she was used to. Drones flew overhead, monitors displaying propaganda shown all round them, and most concerning was the images that showed clearly mutated individuals that were wanted. "Has anyone else noticed the implants or something of the sort on the side of these peoples heads?" asked Celestine through her helmets coms, keeping a keen eye on her surroundings as much as she possibly could.

The Blackbird of Chernobyl was tempted to engage her active camouflage but decided to use that in an emergency, worried it would draw even more unwanted attention to the squad. Moving to Amelia's side, Celestine would carefully take the bolt from her hands and placed it back inside of the satchel upon her left hip. "My HUD is informing me that the tracking-bolt is now tracking, good to know it works here." commented Celesinte mostly to herself. She then turned to Raynor and raised an eyebrow at the comment about this place being his home, "That will need some explaining later, but for the moment, I agree we need to find somewhere to hide, to move unnoticed, but is the subway usually not very busy as well?"

Maya systematically responded to all questions that were posed in her direction, and answered them with clear and concise responses. "That is a fair question Adrianne, my stake in this whole situation is honestly quite simple though. There is a system of Eldar Maiden Worlds, not Craft Worlds, within jump distance of this system. They are still inhabited by my people, unknown to most of the Imperium of man, Should this system fall, ours would be next. Now, before you say I am only doing this for my people or something else along those lines, we have a contract of sorts with this system which enables us to deliver rare materials that only come Maiden Worlds. These materials help keep this system alive and functioning, and in return I get to wander the system freely."

Maya felt the disturbance like an eruption, but merely tilted her head slightly to the left while holding eye contact with the Psykers violet eyes before turning to the Armsman to answer his questions. "If you trusted me right after my abrupt introduction, I would be greatly concerned about your mental health, Stukov. No offense but I rather not get into politics about the Eldar and Imperium of man here, or at all for the time being. Trust me when I say, our opinions differ and I rather not stoke the fire that is already in your heart. Perhaps in time, you will see me more than a heretic xeno that must be purged from all existences." The Eldar Farseer shrugged lightly before turning to nod her head at the Tech-Priestess, not entirely sure how to respond to the strange woman. "I am glad at least one of you are happy to have me here." If anyone was paying attention, Maya's ears did not look like an Eldars at the moment, and Andromedai considered it to be some sort of illusion to help her from drawing attention or much worse.

Opening her mouth to speak, Celestian Andromedai was interrupted by the arrival of Valkia who returned to take everyone's orders. "I hope I am not interrupting, but are you all ready to place your orders for food?" Celestine spoke up first and said "Just the normal for me please, you will see what that is soon, Medaira." Maya was next, informing the waitress that she wanted Beef Stroganov. Solares shrugged lightly and said "I will take... the meatloaf, you know the one with fresh ground beef, salt and pepper ground sausage, red onion, garlic, panko bread crumbs, roasted tomato's, smoked bacon and some spicy barbeque sauce?" Valkia nodded her head then turned to the rest of the retinue awaiting their orders.


Nothing more needs to be said. <3

(Blackbird of Chernobyl)


A spectrum of color reflected off the one way visor and ashen gray metallic mask that Celestine wore while peering silently at the cosmic anomaly in front of her and the rest of the squad. She found that it held a sort of mysterious beauty, while at the same time appearing ominous and threatening. The whole situation in fact, left Celestine with an ominous and uncomfortable feeling, which she expected at least a few of the others also mirrored. At first, she merely observed the scene before them, but then decided to speak. "I actually have a few questions I would like to ask." began Celestine, speaking in a voice that held a heavy Russian accent. "First off, all of the damage that was caused to The Raft, was it a result of this anomaly or perhaps sabotage from some sort of outside force? Secondly, The Raft should have twenty four hour surveillance if I am not mistaken? Perhaps checking the footage if it is still intact could prove beneficial. Thirdly, what do we do if something, let us say a horrific monster from another dimension comes through that? Does Shield have a first contact protocol?"

There was a momentary pause to let the questions settle in before Celestine added, with a bit of lightheartedness in the tone of her voice, "I am so very much more of a Star Wars person than Star Trek, but I do have an idea." Reaching into the satchel upon her left hip, she pulled out a small tracking bolt that was meant to be fired from a pistol, and twirled it between three fingers before tossing it into the portal. In her left hand, her data-pad showed that all signal had been lost, as if ceasing to exist. "Well, that certainly does not bode well, in my personal and unbiased opinion. These can be tracked to pinpoint a location from quite a distance away so anyone's guess as to why it lost tracking is as good as mine. What are our current options at the moment?" said Celestine as she slipped her data-pad back into the satchel, then looked around at her fellow squad members.
It was painfully obvious that both Stukov and Adrianne were not pleased by the revelation that Maya was indeed an Aeldari. Thankfully though their local and definitely mentally sound Tech-Priest Medaira was ecstatic about the discovery. Sensing the distrust and want to end her life, Maya motioned for Andromedai and Solares to fall back behind the other three so they could talk in privacy. "I do hope I have not managed to ram a wedge in-between you and your friends, Celestian Andromedai. Perhaps I should just leave and go my own way for now? It would be simple to return to my homeworld." said Maya in a tone of voice that showed her concern. Andromedai shook her head, "That will not be necessary, I will speak to them about how we came to know each other and a few other things once we are seated. Hopefully it will help clear up any concerns and misunderstandings before anything happens." As soon as Andromedai had finished speaking, a woman wearing crimson and red armor approached the retinue and gave them a crisp salute. "Good evening Inquisitorial Retinue, I am Valkia, and will be helping assist you all with anything you may need this evening. I have your usual secluded table in a private corner of the restaurant ready and waiting." said their evenings host, motioning to the vacant table that awaited them.

"It is appreciated as always, Valkia." said Andromedai as she moved front and center as she moved to their designated table. The Celestian Sister of Battle was the first to take a seat in the booth, and as soon as she had positioned herself comfortably, she removed her helmet and set it on the seat next to her. Solares would take a seat at one far end of the table, and Maya would take the other. Once everyone had been seated where they wished, Valkia would practically appear out of nowhere and hand out thick menus to everyone present before swiftly heading off back out of sight. "Alright my friends, I know you all have your concerns about our new guest here and completely understand where you are coming from. We have all been through a lot together, from small skirmishes, to full scale wars, we have always been by each others side, and hope that you will trust me as I have always trusted each of you. Though that is easier said then done, even more so when our guest is well, you saw. So Maya and myself felt that an explanation is in order." Andromedai repositioned herself in her chair just as a round of waters were delivered. She would wait till they were alone again before starting.

"What I am about to say can not be repeated to anyone untill the official information is released to the masses of the Imperium. Merely even mentioning this could land all of us in serious trouble, as in execution or much worse. I will do my best to keep this short and to the point but that may not happen, since there is a lot to explain here. A long while ago, the stellar realm of Ultramar came under sustained attack from myriad foes, being part of what we believe was a portion of the Black Fleet. Thus began another desperate and bloody invasion of the Ultramarines' home realm remembered as the Ultramar Campaign of the thirteenth Black Crusade. The Celestinian Crusade, made up of many very well known and feared factions within the Imperium of man, allied with the Ynnari's commanders and a number of additional Eldar forces fought back against the Black Fleets Chaos forces."

"The combined forces faced off against over a hundred Black Legionaries, though even as the combined forces fought to help Belisarius Cawl, he was unable to complete his objective alone. I am unsure as to what happened, but something happened with the Eldar. It resulted with the return of Primarch Roboute Guilliman! An awakened and enraged Primarch Roboute Guilliman proved much more than the Chaos attackers were prepared to deal with. Guilliman slaughtered the attacking forces of Chaos and provided an extraordinary surge in morale for his Ultramarines and the other Loyalist forces. After the battle had come to an end, Primarch Roboute Guilliman gave the forces his blessing and thanks to all those present, Eldar included. Where does Maya and myself fit into all of this? We fought alongside each other during Ultramar Campaign of the thirteenth Black Crusade, she has proven herself to not only myself, but also to the Imperium of man as well. In fact, we are currently Allied with these Eldar in few ways, which even I am still trying to accept."
Andromedai crossed her arms over her chest when she finished, then glanced over at Maya.

"What she says is the truth, ever since then we have been friends, and in all honestly I am surprised it took me this long to show up and be part of the retinue. I hope you all will give me the chance to prove my loyalty and fight along side you, as Celestian Andromedai, Sister of Battle Solares, and other forces of the Imperium have." Once Maya finished, both Andromedai, Solares, and Maya looked at the rest of the retinue with silence, awaiting their reply.
No one want's an Eldar Friend? My goodness!
"All of those countless years within the Mechanicus truly show with this superbly crafted containment box." responded Andromedai with a smirk spread across the features of her face. She still held onto the helmet of her armor with her left hand, but it had been heavily damaged from the prior battle, and would not function correctly even if she did have it equipped. "All joking aside, you did quite an impressive job with what resources and time you had, thank you." Andromedai gave a nod of her head in thanks before motioning for the retinue to move out and follow behind her. Once they had stepped back into the dome shaped room, the Sister of Battle would carefully step over the debris while responding to Adrianne. "You see the problem with saying that Adrianne, is that if you tell someone not to think about something, there is a good chance that they will do just that. Anyway, I trust you much more than the Ministorum Priests, just don't repeat that to anyone. Thank you for your assistance in securing the tome as well. Stukov, you are as vigilant as ever, but I think it's time to move out." said Andromedai with a bit more emotion in her voice than normal. By the time she had finished speaking, the retinue had walked back out of the cultist's hidden base, and into the open air. The night had fallen across the land and the cool, calming serenity had taken its place. While everything in the local area seemed to be under control, something still felt off. They could hear music, see lights, hear the sound of happy chatter.

"Does anyone know what ... oh you have to be kidding me." said Andromedai, actually placing the palm of her right hand over her face and sighing, "It is Sanguinalla, which would explain all of the energy I feel in the air, and the music, and the lights, and so on." The Celestian would place her helmet onto her head and then clap her hands together, "Alright then! Here is what we are going to do. There is a very fancy and expensive restaurant I like to go to on rare occasions such as this. We are going to go there and have dinner, feel free to order whatever you would like. Then we are going to walk around the city for the rest of the evening and enjoy the celebrations before heading to a specialty store that sells very rare goods from all across the Imperium of man. I will be covering everything you all wish to buy this evening, so please enjoy yourselves. Oh and Stukov, please don't shoot Maya, you will see why shortly." The ship was waiting exactly where they had left it thankfully, and Solares with onboard with Maya, who had removed her helmet and had it sitting upon her lap. From where she was sitting, no one would be able to view the woman without her helmet untill they walked past her.

"I forgot it was Sanguinalla, Solares and Maya, all of this Chaos bullshit is catching up with me it seems." said Andromedai as she moved to the pilots seat once more and motioned for Adrianne to take the co-pilots position. Arianne would be the first to see that Maya was something special, and most defiantly not a human. She was, in fact, an Aeldari Farseer. Maya merely kept herself occupied with a data-pad that was in her hands, going through pages of information. Solares had remained silent at Andromedai's comment, but Maya laughed softly before going back to what she was doing. Once everyone was strapped into their seats, Andromedai would engage the Typhons engines and the craft would swiftly take off into the air. Once Andromedai had decided they had reached a safe enough altitude, they could easily see that the city of Dalenarth had practically changed over the course of four hours, and was much more active and cheerful than before. The restaurant they would be eating at could easily been seen due to how lit up it was and the heavy amount of decorations that surrounded and covered it. Dark colors with hints of gold and red covered the exterior of the large, oddly shaped building. Upon the outside of it were the words [Saints Respite] in a glowing golden light that illuminated the night.

"That is where we will be having dinner." said Andromedai as she pointed at the impressive display below. There was an empty platform nearby that the ship was landed on, and once it had touched down, Andromedai quickly got up out of her seat and motioned for everyone to follow her out of the Typhon and into the building where already the intoxicating smell of exquisite food could be found. The two guards who were actually armed but wearing clean and fancy outfits opened the doors for them as they approached, welcoming the retinue to Saint's Respite, and hoping they had a very enjoyable evening.



:3 I suggest an addendum to apply said rules to ANY tech device or tool in 20 ft of Medaira~


I AGREE, what could possibly go wrong? :D ...
