The Sin of Pride - Deathwatch

[DrK]

The Sin of Pride Deathwatch

The vaulted hall of the Temple Shrine where the Deathwatch are staying is lit with the flames of a dozen lanterns burning in ornate holders. The vaulted ceiling lost in a haze of ceremonial incense. The walls, adorned with heradly and imagery of the birth of the Imperium also bear witness to towering 12ft statues of in white alablaster of its greatest saints. Wooden pews with soft velvet coverlets all facing the 30m tall Aquilla that domaintes the head of the chapel, a massive stained glass frieze behind it depucting the God Emperor casting down the great betrayer.

Currently the chapel lies in ruins. Spent bolt casings litter the floor, ornate rune and scripture covered pillars torn and cracked from impacts, the wooden pews burning from las blasts and smoke mingling with the burning incense. Bodies of raggedly garbed humans litter the entranceway tumbled over the black stone steps and the massive arched doorway. Standing like they statues that they venerate the 6 marines of the Deathwatch stand still watching the dead without remorse, without emotion, without thought. Under the unblinking gaze of the marines a dozen of the most junior clerics set about dragging out the dead and sweeping the spent and still smoking bolt shells off the floor. Other servants, menial labour mop the blood off the doorway and the sacred statues...

As Commander Korvin enters the blood splattered chapel- clearly the enemy boarding crew had gone the wrong way - the marines stand to attention, their 8ft armoured frames looming over the Lady Captain waiting for her to speak....
