Inquisitor's Vox-Log
Today my new Deathwatch Kill-Team arrives. Brother-Captain Strall assures me that they will last longer than the previous Kill-Team, though, having witnessed some of the horrors of this part of the galaxy first hand, I am not so easily convinced. According to the files Strall gave me upon his return, we have three recruits from among the chapters participating in the Achilus Crusade, and a fourth member recommended by a fellow Inquisitor on Mars. [A soft beep is heard] Ah, their dossiers have arrived. Let me see what I have to work with. Hmm...First among the 'locals' is a Blood Angel Marine named Seraphim...Hmm, strange. He's a Tactical Marine. It is usually Assault Marines that come from the Blood Angel's Chapter. This one must be particularly impressive. Ah, indeed he is. Seems he was on Macragge during the First Tyrannic War, and is the sole survivor of a Mawloc attack. However, the horrors of this galaxy can break even the stoutest warrior of the God-Emperor, and it is known that Blood Angels don't take much to break, thanks to that thirst of theirs. However, according to Strall's notes, exposure to these horrors has only strengthened his resolve to cleanse the Emperor's domain of all who walk in darkness. Still, as a Son of Sanguinius, I will have to keep a close eye on him. Now, who have we next. A Rune Priest? [Short pause] Ah, one of the Space Wolves' Librarians. Baldur Thunderaxe...Strall says he won a battle with a Thousand Sons sorcerer. [Another pause] I don't question Strall's judgement, but how trustworthy are these psykers, really? And to admit one whose mind was so close to the Warp? [Inquisitor sighs] I shall just have to put my faith in the Emperor, as always. At least this one is quiet, which, however odd it may be, will be a welcome change from your normal Space Wolf. Two more to go. Next we have a Black Templar named Konrad Alyxander. Another Tactical Marine it seems. Finally, a marine from a chapter that puts the death of our enemies before personal glory. [A pause while Inquisitor reads the file] He took down a Tyranid Prime?! Outstanding. Clearly the Emperor is with this one. Maybe my team isn't doomed to damnation. Odd, though, that he'd place so high in the Feast of Blades without being an Assault Specialist. Still, he is a welcomed addition. Even more so, since he's already acclimated to a life aboard a vessel ...However...these correspondences will need to cease. And I'll need another Inquisitor search out this Crimson Fist Sergeant and have him silenced. I'll send a communique to Erioch later. Now, who is this fourth man? [A brief pause] Tacitus Aegidius...Ah good, a Techmarine. Those are always helpful, at least, so long as they don't forget who they serve. And he's from the Iron Hands chapter, good good. I can be sure he knows what he's doing then. Seems he's had a bit of experience as a tank commander as well. He will be sad to learn, then, that we won't be deploying any tanks. The Promise of Redemption's own...nuances, however, should be enough to keep him happy. Seems a bit reckless for the Deathwatch, though hopefully the rest will be able to keep him in check. Well, that's all of[beep]...What?! A Dominion has been assigned to me? But why? Ergh, this will require some investigation...RAAGH! [Loud slam] I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS FOOLISHNESS! Don't they realize I have a Crusade to carry out!? [A pause] Of course they do. But who ordered this? ...Someone I know...Probably someone I mentored...This style of investigation is too similar to be just another Inquisitor...But later, later. [A door slides open and footsteps are heard. Voice ID confirmed. PFC Vladimir speaks] Sir, the Marines have just arrived. [Inquisitor responds] Good, they're on time. Have Dmitri escort them to the bridge for introductions and their first assignment. [Vladimir again] Right away, your lordship. [Footsteps are heard, followed by a closing door. Inquisitor speaks] Well, seems it is time to get back to work. Lord Inquisitor Mikhail Alexandrovich of the Ordo Xenos, out. [Log Ends]
Four Space Marines step out of an obsidian Thunderhawk with the left wing left an unpainted silver, their own armor painted to match, save for their right shoulder pads, which retain the colors of their chapter. As they disembark from the shuttlecraft, they take in the spacious cargo bay, their first glimpse of their newest, and possibly last, home. Before long, they are met by a Commisar dressed as one of the Vostroyan Firstborn. "Greetings, sirs," the man says with a generic Imperial Guard salute. "I am Commissar Dmitri Kyrinov. I am here to welcome you onboard the Oberon Class battleship Promise of Redemption, and to escort you to the bridge, where the Lord Inquisitor is awaiting you. Now, if you'll just follow me..." Wasting no time, Dmitri turns on his heels and begins leading you through the maze of corridors and halls of the Promise of Redemption.
