    Unless I need to hide my identity, weapon concealment won't be a problem for me. People tend to expect Arbites to be armed. Quirt points out.

    Vorin nods to both of the speakers before his voxcaster started up again. Indeed, the Arbites are well known for their purpose and duties. And I will look into the native wildlife, there will most likely be something. He thinks for a second and then decides to be blunt Also, Asanti, has your weapon been blessed by the Omnissiah lately? I would be glad to perform the rights of sanctification if you wish.

    Asanti looks up again, tossing the slate aside for the moment. He's got a very firm grip on the hunting rifle of dubious sanctity. No one but me has touched it, that I know of. He suspects the rifle is perfectly all right with that, as it is the rifle's job to kill things he points it at and it's been doing plenty of that. Still, the tech-priest is not likely to let this go.

    Vorin reacts calmly, though inside he was a tad horrified. Then it should be sanctified immediately. The weapons Machine Spirit must be soothed and placated. It is my duty as a holy servant of the Omnissiah to bless such weapons and equipment, lest their machine spirits rebel and they fail.

    He'd likely be more horrified if Asanti told him that he doesn't believe in the Omnissiah. This is part of the reason for the dubious sanctity. The other is that Asanti doesn't like people touching his weapons. A warrior's weapons should only be handled by him, or others who have proved their ability in combat. When you have struck down an enemy worthy of the fight, then, and only then, would it not dishonour my rifle to be handled by you.

    Vorin is starting to get mad, but he reminds himself of the purity of logic, and attempts to calm down. When he speaks his voice is emotionless, and most wouldn't tell how angry he is. If I do not sanctify that weapon and appease the Machine Spirit I will be failing in my duty to the Omnissiah. I would not fail the Omnissiah any more than you would fail the Emperor. And I need not prove myself in combat to the likes of you, I was born upon a warship, battle and conflict were common things in my life, and I helped repell more than one boarding party of blood-maddened cultists or hate filled orks.

    Asanti narrows his eyes. The Tech-priest was probably telling the truth. He had the excessively pale skin that Asanti had seen on others who spent too long in the blackness of space. I can't argue with your faith. If your Omnissiah demands that you bless my rifle... He shrugs. It would seem we are both warriors, in our own way. Very well. But I have two conditions. One: he holds up a finger. Do not fire it. That honour is mine alone. Two: He holds up a second finger. I'm watching. All of it. My rifle is not to be anywhere I can't see it with my own eyes.

    Asanti hands over the rifle, albeit a little reluctantly. No doubt he'll be happier when it's returned to him. The rifle itself is a slightly older model, and seems to have been maintained fairly well. It's certainly not in any danger of breaking down, and after this little bout of purification/maintenence, it'll probably be in even less danger. It also has a couple non-standard modifications, namely a small scope and a silencer. Vorin may want to bless those as well.

    Vorin blesses the whole weapon, cleansing and purifying it, appeasing the machine-spirit the weapon contained, all the while he hummed the Rite of Sanctification and chittered in his arcane Machine-Language, speaking to the machine itself. When he finishes he is noticeably happier... well noticeable by anyone who could read his mechanized face properly. At a thought he takes out his own weapons, his Carnoger pattern Crest III Laspistol, and his Vortex pattern Gorin VI Assault Pattern Las Carbine. He begins to bless these as well, and when he finally finishes this, he turns to his other fellow Acolytes If you like, I could bless your weapons in the Omnissiahs name as well.

    Vorin nods, an action that by now seems as though it is nothing less than second nature to the man, and takes the weapon, blessing it in the Omnissiahs name.

    Asanti takes his rifle back when Vorin is done with it. The familiar weight in his hands was reassuring. Hopefully the Priest wouldn't want to do this too often. It smelled funny now, though. Nothing that a few days worth of carrying it around wouldn't fix. And now he had something to blame if he missed.

    He spends the next several minutes reading and re-reading the dataslate, as if doing so would give him some sort of insight.

    Vorin nods once more, and begins to sanctify this weapon as well. When all the weapons are back in the hands of their owners he inquires When do you suppose we shall reach our destination? It would be best to begin our preparations as soon as possible.

    If we keep this pace up i think you are correct. Tower smiles slightly as she says this.
    And i would not object to the blessing of my weapon. It's kinda lucky we have you here actually, what with all these spirits in need of soothing.
    And she hands over her Autogun to Vorin. It's been kept in good condition, which can't have been particularily hard given it's simple construction.

    As Vorin finishes the rights of sanctification on the final weapon and hands it back, he looks incredulously at the feral It sounds awfully simple when you put it like THAT, but I'm fairly sure it won't be so simple. Nothing ever is. And besides, we still need to establish a base of operations, delegate who will be watching when and doing what. We'll need supplies, and most likely to contact some people, as well as establishing backup plans and specific goals.

    "Agreed, and there is one fundamental difference between our prey and the standard hive dreg. Social standing, no one would blink at a hiver being chased down a street by armed men, but chasing a man who travels in noble circles will draw unwanted attention. We must assume that he has agents of his own, which invariably must if he's gotten this far." She pauses to stow her now blessed rifle before continuing. "Back on Isolde we had to deal with traitor cells within our own ranks occasionally, but you could never be obvious, lest "friendly fire" end your investigation early. We need to be subtle, as much as that plays against my strengths."

    The flight is smooth. You barely notice the transition into atmo. Finally, the Aquila slows, you feel the landing gear deploy, and there's a slight bump. Your cell has arrived on Huma.

    The gunner leaves his station to lower the hatch, presenting your first view of the planet. The surface is colored orange by the setting sand shining through the blowing sand. The growing city of Polatum rises in the distance to the north, reaching into both the mountains and the desert, while a few highways and paved roads extend into the south towards the scavenger towns.

    You've landed on a small dusty pad that's slightly lower than the ground around it, the sand held back with sandbags. In one corner there's a cinder block shed, complete with a primitive air conditioner unit, which is next to some sort of vehicle under a tan colored tarp. A small water tank towers over them both, a pipe leading to the shed.

    The Inquisition uses this place from time to time. Away from prying eyes, halfway between the slums and city.

    No sooner than the gunner finishes his sentence, two pairs of headlights turn on in the wastes to the south. One gears it on the highway into the desert, the other is clearly approaching your position.
    Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, he eats you.

    Asanti's rifle is already loaded. He's holding it loosely, though he could probably bring it to bear fairly quickly. He looks around at the desert and nods. Felt like home, almost.

    Her fellow acolytes reactions are all the response Helena needs. She nigh subconcioussly slams a power pack into the reciever and racks the charging handle, locking the contacts into the lense assembly. She looks to the Gunner "Anything we can use in the shed?"

    The gunner replies while taking his standard issue laspistol from its holster.

    There's nothing in the shed cept a few bunks, a washroom, and a voxcaster. Only a few people knew bout this place, but we haven't heard word from then in a while.

    He runs back to the hatchway on the Aquila and shouts inside.

    Hey, power down the engines and get your grox hide out here to help us!

    Meanwhile, the vehicle moves closer. From what you can see, the vehicle is an opened topped truck with four passengers.
