    Reluctantly unbuckling the weapon from her side, Alicia examined the girl with distaste. "We're looking for someone. Man called Gatrius. A mutual friend assured us he'd be here." she explained before dropping the sword into one of the holes.

    The bouncers nod as the weapons are abandoned. The woman's plastic smile cracking slightly. gatrius. Well um. I van get him but if he doesn't know you it may not be pretty. As you wait you can watch the gambling as some men won or lost fortunes, ad in one vcase body parts.

    Soon a whippet thin balding man in some sort of rich tiger print suit approaches grinning in an oily notice already. His voice was squeaky and high pitched as he stared at the magister and the women.
    Yes? Do I know you?

    Alicia drew the data-chip from her belt and handed it to the man. "You know a friend of ours."

    He takes the data chip and gestures for you all to take a seat at a small table. The rickety metal chairs with flecks of rust and more than one with a hint of old blood. A wave of a bejwelled and liver spotted hand summons one of the partially naked girls over - a sleek gleaming silvery bionic in place of her left arm. A tray laden with fizzing drinks for the three heretics.

    "So what does Yang wish of me. And how will I be paid for this? It says here cargo of a specia nature? What sort of special. I don't have truck with mutants or xenos." he pauses to spit a gobbet onto the floor. "What, where and when? and what size?"

    As they moved towards the small table the razorwing followed them above, jumping from fixture to fixture, surveying the area with its two heads. Qaeviir could tell it wanted to carve the flesh off of the bones of a particular bouncer in the place, but that was not happening. It would seem the finger bones it had been given before hadn't been enough to sate it.

    "Special arms. The kind of arms the upstanding. Would not approve of. If gone through legitimate channels." the magister said, as he smirked unseen behind his mask, before any of the women had time to reply to the questions. He wanted to answer that one in particular, as he found it amusing refering to the Astartes in such a way.

    THe balding pimp and casino owner looks at the chit before nodding and smiling in a slightly predatory manner. "How quickly do you need it? And where on the station does it have to go?" He looks up - "My debt to Yang will be done. YEs?"

    How quickly do you want the astartes and where do you want them?
    1. Industrial sector
    2. Sewage reclaimation
    3. General stores

    "The industrial sector, soon as possible. And yes, your debt will be complete." affirmed Alicia. It was almost funny seeing the pathetic little man struggle for what power he could.

    Industrial sector? I suppose that will have to do. Qaeviir had barely heard the hateful khornate's instructions she gave the man. He was in his own thoughts, not too interested or concerned with making arrangements for smuggling at the moment. He had gotten them inside quickly. They should be content with that. Around three months until the time window of the ritual opens on the penal world. I'm just too excited to miss the chance. Such a powerful ritual, just at my fingertips. In Qaeviir's mind there was a lot going on. So much it would most likely drive most insane if they could tap into it and experience it themselves. So much to prepare. Still need to gather everything needed. Perhaps I can find any here? Was this one a smuggler or just a contact for them? Need a lot of souls for the ritual too. And a ritual knife. I have none. Why do I not have one? That is unfortunate. Measures needs to be taken to rectify that. How else am I to conduct a proper ritual, if I have nothing to slit a throat with? He had never brought a specialized ritual dagger from Q'Sal, most likely because one of his assistants had always taken care of that particular messy part of a ritual. He hoped he could find something similar somewhere. Or make one himself, if need be.

    The magister was curious what could be achieved in the industrial sector. It was unlikely there would be any intellectuals among the workers there, he guessed. In most cases one needed brains to not go the easy way to chaos worship, as the Fly Lord and the Blood God could just tempt with survivability or martial power. That was easy. That was just brute. Mindless. In other words, not traits one look for in the worship of the Changer. It was no wonder cults to the most powerful Dark God of Chaos seemed so few and far between away from Q'Sal, where worship of the Changer was the the only worship. Noble houses were more likely as ripe ground for such things. They had the means and most often the intellect and desire to expand their power. The magister wondered if there even were such castes of people on the station, because there was unlikely to be any on a penal moon.

    The humans spend 3 longs hours lurking around the gambling den as the suggle begins to arrange a shipment. Bribes and promises flowing freely over a series of small microbeads. Eventually he turns to look at you. "You want your cargo deliverd yes? It is not alive no? THe sector it irradiates all packages and the false water filtration tanks will not be shielded no?"

    He smiles as he explains some more. A small lander will transport some water filtration tanks from the Last Hope towards the station. After sterilisation to prevent contamination or transfer of viral or xenogenic vectors they will be hooked up to the station water supply and filled up. Here he smiles - he has some debtors within the water treatment plants that are part of the industrial sector that are willing to take a swim to recover them.

    He looks at you if you are happy with plan?

    Qaeviir was roused from his constant thoughts by the question. "There may be some live. Individuals. Among the equipment." He paused for a moment. "Shield the tanks. If you believe. That is best." the magister continued, having no regard for the safety of the astartes or nurglites being smuggled in. It was more likely the women would object to the non-shielded tanks.

    Alicia sighed, having tired of the Sorcerer's wordplay a couple of hours ago. "Shielding will be necessary. It would be preferable for all of us if our associates arrived alive."

    THe smuggled smiled an amusing smile. "We'll try and find thick ones. But you're friends. I wouldn't expect them to be having children anytime soon..."! After that he leaves you at the table - a semi mechanical female servitor serving you drinks as arrangements are made.

    2 standard Sol hours later he returns throwing a sleection of dirty coveralls your way. All 3 marked with "Aquatic system scivener 3rd class." A lowly position but enough to allow you access to the tertiary water reprocessing area. The way down through the bowels of the Castellan Class station is some distance. A snaking network of ducts, cramped wet and rust streaked corrdiors and heavy manual bulkheads. Eventually you arrive in one of the tank refilling areas. A large cavernous structure with a massive airlock at one side of if where the water tanks from the void craft are docked linked to a 15m diameter water pipe. The man leading you- a rough looking maintenance technician with a set of savage radiation scars down one side of his face gestures out of the window as a small lighter manuevres a dull grey and red rusted water tank through the void towards the airlock. The tank is big - some 80m long and 40m in diameter and one of 4 being ferried over from the Last Hope of the Dammned. You watch as the tank slowly inches forward before connecting with the sterilisation collar with a dull "clank". Immediatly the rad scrubbers activate and through the tinted porthole you can see the faint hints of the strong gamma pulse searing the water tank and sterilising prior to the fill. The man glances at you. "If you have bio in there its going to be coming out hot.... can't be doing having water getting contaminated. OUr water supply team get hauled up by the Inquisition themselves for that crime!"

    The scrubbing takes 10 minutes before the faint gurgle of water flowing occus as your guide throws a large switch releasing the millions of litres from the stations vast resevoirs fed by servitor slaved water reclaimation vessels that harvested the local comets. 20 minutes of high flowing water passed before your guiide walked over the relief valve and spun the heavy wheels. THe metre wide hatchway opening with a dull hiss and a splash of pure crystal clear water. Looking down he has time to say "By the Emperor - what are you doing" before Vul's horned head breaks the surface!

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Aboard the Captain Yang's ships the time passes slowly for the Astartes and the other heavily armoured members of the party. With infinte patience they all wait until the micro beads chirp and explain their method of entry. Hidden inside empty watre supply tanks and then - once filled with water they will be met at the relief water inlet valve...

    The journey inside the sealed metal container is dull and loud. A jostle and bang as the cargo lifter attaches and then the loss of gravity as the empty tank is towed across the short void hop from ship to station. Unpowered the grav plating deactivates leaving a pair of terminators and a marine free floating in a clumsy manner...

    Spoiler
    Show

    If you don't have magnetic boots then please make easy (+20) acrobatic checks to find a safe place to anchor yourself.

    Otherwise you'll be falling 1d5+2m when the tank reaches the station and grav plating becomes powered again.


    As the grav plating activates with a warning siren the systems glow sadly red warning anything within that a rad sweep is about to begin as the water tank meets the docking collar of the station. Within the unlit pitch darkness you can see a faint warping in the air as the flickering rad sweep slowly begins to sweep the length of the water vessel.

    Everyon takes a (2d10+6)[15] PEN 8 hit
    If you take damage make a T (+0) test or suffer a level of fatigue that will need medical attention to remove.


    When the sweep finishes the lights flicker on and the gates at the far side open and verititable wall of water pours in sweepinga round the sealed armour of the heretek and the Astartes. 20 inutes later the filling is complete but the astartes are no longer within. All 3 waiting in a small relief vavle chamber some 3m across - its a tight fit.

    A bang on the large valve above followed by a circle of light forming marks the hatch opening above you and the way into the station becoming clear...

    Vul lands roughly when gravity resumes, but it is of no consequence to one as resilient as he is. His own toughness and his superb arrmor protect him from the radiation just as easily, and he is the first to emerge from the container.

    The moment Vul sees the guide, he reacts. This man can't be allowed to talk.

    Vul rapidly reaches out with his psychic power to seize the man's throat, lifting him off the ground.

    The magister felt a bit relieved when Vul started choking the worker. It was a good change of pace, he had grown bored with running errands and not really getting anything done during the hours they had spent finding the establishment of smugglers and then now getting a tour of this plant. The coveralls didn't help, either. He felt restrained.

    "I see one is. Alive. Atleast." Qaeviir said as the human worker was getting his life slowly snuffed out from him.

    With the technician incapacitated, Alicia peered into the depths of the tank. "Come on, Astartes. We should leave. No doubt they'll notice something's wrong soon. It wouldn't do to lose our element of surprise so soon now, would it?"

    I wonder if they can swim in such armour. the magister thought to himself as he looked around the facility for any witnesses.

    Ssseal him iiin this craaate. The Plague Marine hisses, more than a little pissed about having to wait hours before being released. He seeks to take it out on the humans' incompetence by having Vul telekinetically having the human sealed inside in lieu of the Astartes.
