《Aegis》Chapter 70: Questions Best Left Unasked
Advertisement
You tell Yasha to gather her wargear while you strap your own on. You leave your pulse pistol sitting in its case and holster your foehammer instead. No need to draw attention to it before Jace looks into putting a suitably Imperial appearance on it.
You and Yasha enter the Main Plasma Drive Room in time to see the backs of Sargent Danus and his team as they exit, a large black casket humming along between two of the honor-marked Marines. You nod farewell in passing, and proceed onwards to find Jace and the Dark Angel Techmarine conversing in the squealing chitter of enginseers everywhere. You can't make heads nor tails of it, but you get the feeling that a great deal of information is being exchanged very quickly.
You get the urge to start asking questions as to what relics Sargent Danus is taking with him. But as you think it over, you decide for once in your life to leave well enough alone. Jace will have a log of what was taken or disturbed, and asking questions where the Dark Angels can hear them is likely to draw their ire. Given that they are reluctant to work with the Inquisition, and Rubicon's comment about them probably shooting at other Imperial forces in the past, you deduce that that ire is likely to be expressed as incoming bolter rounds.
So instead you wait for Jace and the Techmarine to notice you. "Lord Pyrus is headed for the Main Computer Core, as Kamas is likely to put in an appearance there in the near future. Any luck in rigging up a stasis trap of some sort?"
Jace and the Techmarine both shake their heads. Jace speaks first, "I believe that I might be able to construct a stasis storage unit, but nothing deployable in the field. And doing even that would take materials that I do not possess."

"That's a no then. Techmarine, can you or your Chapter be of any further assistance in this matter? Or do I overstep my limits in this?"
The Techmarine throws back his head, and you get the impression that he is laughing inside his helmet. "Sargent Danus would say that you are overstepping your bounds, but such an honest question deserves an honest answer. Do not expect aid from the Dark Angels on any but their own terms. They only brought me along on this expedition to oversee the stasis casket, and they did not even tell me why. Now I must depart, leaving only a wish for good fortune in your future endeavors."
You give a formal bow to the Techmarine. "Then go in honor, Techmarine. May the Emperor guide your path and your weapons."
"And yourself Master Von Sebastion. Now I must depart." The Techmarine walks off down the corridor after Sargent Danus, vanishing around a corner.
You let out a sigh. "Ok, we don't have an available stasis trap. So how do we fight a being that can bend reality?"
Yasha cocks an eyebrow at you. "With one of our own of course. Lord Pyrus is probably up to the task..."
Jace nods. "But he is going to need backup, to keep Kamas occupied if nothing else."

America Stranded In A Fantasy World
Ah, the year 2040, the turn of the decade, and what a way to start it off with America, Russia, and China about to go into a three-way brawl over resources and territory...

An Extra-Ordinary Story about Ordinary People
In a different world, a different reality, where ordinary people occasionaly have extra-ordinary powers for no particular reason, we follow a number of characters, trying their best to live in this strange yet normal world. We have our first character, a currently nameless but sentinent creature who happened to find himself in the body of a strange fungus after an unknown incident that robbed him of not only his former body but of his memory, as well. Secondly, we follow Smith, a high-standing man who doesn't even need to explain which Smith he is, on top of the world, yet human enough to meet said fungus. And thirdly, we have another nameless character, who is burdened by the ability to summon things that he doesn't want. A charming gang, who will (most likely) meet at some point. --- All and all, it's a twist on the common super-hero world, where all super-heroes have somehow dissappeared, but not the possibility for new ones. The series that feature the mushroom-dude are the 123 ones, the stories that feature Smith are the ABC ones, and the ones that feature our newest character, the summoner-dude, are the abc ones. Neat, huh? Also, just a word of warning? The 123 ones are kind wierd, and you can skip the first few chapters and go straight to the ABC ones without missing too much. But I'd rather you didn't, since i really enjoyed writing them. In ABC and abc, the format changes to a more typical form, with proper grammar and stuff. So if you dont like the 123, I'd love it if you gave the ABC a chance :^) Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it!
