《Aegis》Chapter 69: Waking up to a New Reality
Advertisement
You lay on the cold deckplate of your room as new feelings cascade through you. Instinctively, you know that Ariavari attempted to knock you out with her psychic talents. That she attempted to do so by presenting your brain with information that it shouldn't be able to process, reckoning that it would cause your brain to 'shut down and restart'. And that your brain processed this echo of the ancient past successfully because Ariavari's efforts pushed you past a metaphysical line in the sand. You are fairly sure that you are not entirely human anymore.
Yasha groans, and the deckplate beneath you grows colder. It seems that she was not unaffected as well. "Yasha? Did you just Dream of events on red sand?"
Yasha puts a hand to her forehead, rubbing at her temple. "Yes. You as well?"
"Yes. Do you mind turning off the cryomancy before we freeze to the deck?"
Yasha concentrates for a moment, and the deckplate warms. You sigh in relief. "I hate to ask, but are you mobile? Because I feel... off."
Yasha flows to her feet and turns to help you before coming to a graceful halt. "I can see why. You are saturated with warp energy. How are you not a mutated ball of goo right now?"
"Too stubborn to die? Something to ask Ariavari later. Help me up please."
Yasha reaches down and helps you to your feet. "How did you know that I was responsible for the cryomancy?"
"I just did. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that isn't in the usual Navigator's arsenal of powers, and something that 'unlocked' just now?"
"Yes and yes. Tell the Inquisitor?"
"Not yet. Lord Pyrus first, I think."
A familiar staff-wielding Space Marine looms in the doorway. "Speak of me and I shall appear, it seems. Tell me what?"

"Ariavari, the Eldar that contacted us above Vrenna to destroy that chaos shrine, is onboard the ship. She is after something aboard the ship, and was searching my quarters for it. We startled her, and she mind-blasted us. We just woke up."
Lord Pyrus stares past you, studying the warp residue saturating the room. Next he stares at you and Yasha. "Heh, not the wisest thing to do, but she clearly has plans for you two. Any idea what she was after?"
"Yes. Kamas was after a 'Shard' aboard the Terra Incarnadine. Some old Necron artifact, if I had to guess, and Ariavari wants to prevent her from getting it. Jace has surveyed most of the ship, except the interiors of the Warp and Plasma Drives, for obvious reasons, and the Main Computer Core due to radiation. I'd guess the Shard is there, and Ariavari and Kamas will be headed that way."
"So that is where I need to go."
