For the final part of the Balur Crusade, Forge gyre sent their Titan Legion and two Knight Houses to help, because the Ork World of . Two of them together should be enough to subdue a battleship, but I added a dozen techpriests and a thousand combat servitors, just in case.
Canis was the first to greet Lady Adrielle at the docking tube, slling her with suspicion before turning to nod at .
"A space wolf! And a rather large one." the Inquisitor remarked after petting Canis fearlessly. That was a good start.
"Well t, Inquisitor. Any reason why you wanted to et ?" I wondered while checking her out. Another brunette, wide hips, inferno pistol on that...
"That C'tan asked for you, by na, when the Eldar appeared. He seed rather convinced only you could save him." the woman said in a rather annoyed voice.
I raised an eyebrow. That did seem rather strange, but then who knew what a C'tan might say or do.
Then I shrugged as there was nothing I could do. "And here I am, saving the day. Perhaps the xenos is precognitive."
Adrielle moved closer and poked my nose gently. "I may not be a psyker, but I'm quite certain Blanks cannot be predicted. And as proof, you massacred the Eldar Corsairs without giving them any chance to flee."
I nodded and captured her hand in mine. "The C'tan are not psykers, my dear. They just see very far, and can compute trajectories and arrival dates to the second. Like a ship's Machine Spirit could, if it had sensor range over a thousand-light years."
The brunette Inquisitor glanced at her hand in surprise, before staring in the eyes. "And you're not a real Untouchable. I have t a Silent Sister once, and could barely stand her presence from ters away."
I politely kissed her hand, then placed it on my elbow. "I am not a real Astartes either. Only natural organs, and they all work fine."
"Woof!" Canis confird with a joyful tone.
"All natural, you say? Perhaps you can tell all about it, at dinner. I am rather starved." the woman asked and walked beside like a princess.
Oh well, I did buy lots of expensive food and drinks, in case my Rose was here. But as she was not, I'll make due with another Inquisitor.
