Snippet #2639545

A glimpse through the door as he approached the chapel-barracks revealed to Belarion one of the assault squads at prayer, speaking shortly after by Captain Garrius, presumably to inform them that they would need to prepare to leave for the expedition. As the Astartes filed out, he returned their greetings with a brief blessing while examining their faces for any form of corruption. Even at the heart of the Imperium might Chaos play its hand against humanity.

Entering the room, Belarion nodded an assent to Garrius before leaning on his staff to wait. A brief explanation of the mission was given to Sergeant Castard before a brief quiet overtook the room, Garrius ensuring their privacy. Following his comment, Belarion nodded and quoth, "The Ordos of the Inquisition are ever fickle and ever scheming. I cannot divine their reason for bringing the mission to us. As you have said, it is rather menial even if the objectives are of great import. Yet there is nothing to be done but investigate. If they have lied, they have lied. And if not, then our past is clearer than before."
