Chapter 32: What is your Purpose?
Standing over the body of the Lieutenant, who gazed into the eyes of my helmet, as life slowly slipped from his body a thousand questions were asked, but one stood out, why? Standing quietly I lowered my bolter, Rylanor stood behind judging my actions and with the node of his head he approved of what I had done, for we know all to well, the consquences of this, if aloud the chance to grow... It will corrupt the most rightious of people.
The ground trembled under Rylanor as he turned away and the sound of his assault cannon spinning to life, surprised that he would prepair for combat even when we stand amongest our own camp, walking from behined Rylanor as he stood steadfast to protect me from incoming danger I was surprised but, no one would have know. Rylanor and I stood unfazed as our allies aimed their weapons towards us, 'Just fucking great!'
A small group of officers were barking orders shouting at the guardsmen, to raise their weapons at us saying that we were with the enemy, we have betrayed the Emporer and have gone mad. The guardsmen visible terrified as Rylanor was all to prepaired to lay waste to their ranks and with an all mighty bang as the sound of tools hit the ground and by all accounts happy to see the young tech-priest who was assiagned to keep Rylanor in perfect condation came storming out of a bunker, unaware of the stand off, " Chapter Master! Ancient one! thank the Omnissiah for your safe return. moving as fast as his metal legs could carry him, he bolted to Rylanor checking for any serious damge to Rylanor's suit and began to ask questions as if his life depend on it * It probably does*.
After the rough landing and taking out AA (Anit-Aircraft) implacements, I asked for the tech priest name as he had proved to me to be invaluable not only maintaining Rylanors capabiltes but perfoming rites to calm the meachine spirits of the vehicles and was capable of giving aide to any thing mechanical, which is surprising to see, for many students of Mars you would need to all most put a gun to their heads to drag them away from their studies. With a proud voice, " My designation is Delta-Psi 64" though probably one of the shorter names in the Adeptus Mechanicus, I grow fond of calling him Delta.
As the atmosphere began to become more confused, a Major began to look like his head was about to explode, my guess he's the one who is cuasing this unpleasant situation. Looking towards Delta who was now pratically wiping off the dirt off of Rylanor, " Sigh, Delta you may wish to step aside we are..." Delta cut me off clean in quick, " I do apologize my lord but I can not, becuase I have already informed my superiors of whats happening here and they said (turning to face all who threatened us) if anyone should attempt to harm a precious relic crafted by the Omnissiah and by our laws will face the wrath of Adeptus Mechanicus and if needed will destory this hive city."
Needless to say Delta's words has not only killed any peaceful solution but bloody disintegrated the dam thing. With every single guardsmen now visible terrified by the idea of what would happen if the Mechanicum showed up ready for war, ' I need to try and put out some fires.' putting my weapon away I slowly took off my helmet showing my face with a neutral expression " Hear me guardsmen! I took the time to stare into the eyes ever man and woman there, some showing me their fear, uncertainty and others looked conflited but their were soldiers who's eye were unwavering in their orders, " My Battle brother and I have been In the service of The Emporer for longer then most people have been alive we have seen some of the worst battles in our history of the galaxy and yet my loyalty has never been questioned so many times by people who are fearful and corrupted by others as well as their personal beliefs. What right do you have to question my oaths my Loyalties?!"
Turnning my body slighly to point at the now very dead corpes of the Lieutenant who was a traitor to everything we stood for! " Do you see this man, some of you might have called him a good man others might have thought him a generous man, yet I found evidence that he was going to planet a bomb on the Spear of War and that he was an officer who had a strong conection to the very enemy commander who died at the battle of the Governor's palace and you tell me who's loyalt you should question."
Silence rolled over the aera like a fog, the Major who was fueled by anger and blind by the death of comrade was now unsure of what to think, seeing their conflect in their eyes, in their thoughts and in their hearts, Rylanor and I understand these very questions. 'Let me give them a hand' " Guardsmen! what is your reason to sever? better yet what is your purpose? ( Giving a minute for my words to sinke in.) My purpose is to fight for my brothers, to fight for people who I swore an oath to protect and most of all The Emporer Called upon his Space Marines to hold back the darkness that continues to eat away the very bourders of our Imperium... So ... I ask one more time what is your purpose?
