[Phantom]

"...Oh hey Thera."



Meanwhile, Dariel's Techpriest Enginseer friend wonders about other inorganic and sentient metallic lifeforms other than 'crons as he fires his Plasma Pistol at the advancing forces.
{Hm, finding something like that would likely be a challenge worthy of my skill.}

Meanwhile, with the Cadian 219th and the once-thought trait regiment, the Cadian 199th, falls back to the closest Kasr in the area.
[Tyrant[No no no, they're taking Cadia...]

[Twi]

"Hey Dariel. By the way, Kata keeps telling me she wants to meet one of these Mechanicus people you talked about once. Or more, she doesn't really care."
Thera chuckles.
"So, what's up?"

[Phantom]

"Nothing, I've actually worked out the problem with Berkar non-lethally. And since when did Kata meet any type of Techpriest?"

[Twi]

"She didn't, I said she said she wanted to. And that's good. Killing is rather extreme, not to mention largely irreversible."

[Phantom]

"Oh. And I think I need the tapestry..."

[Twi]

"Oh? What for?"

[Something Evil]

[Tyrant[No no no, they're taking Cadia...]

T: [Dariel[Interesting... At least that dismisses the idea of that armless failure commanding the attack, but it raises the distasteful chance that someone skilled is somehow in charge... Convincing officers to retreat to fortified, defendable positions would be a good idea, however unlikely. Attempting to start a fight between Khornate reinforcements and Slaaneshi ones would also serve, by cutting their supply lines and wreaking havoc.]

((And I'm out.))

[Phantom]

[Tyrant[I, I don't want to know who's in charge. That would just dim my hope even more. That done, should we attempt to link up to the other regiments?]


Shimmer-Dariel shrugs.
"Familial reasons."

[Twi]

Thera chuckles.
"What, are you going to try to explain to someone that your wife is a weaving spider?"

[Something Evil]

T: [Dariel[Only to the extent permitted by reasonable safety margins. Uniting with other loyalist elements would be optimal and allow you to support each-other in combat as well as share supplies, but not if it would mean a certainly fatal run in with the main Chaos assault.]

((And now I really am going to sleep.))

[Phantom]

"No, he just wants it. I don't know everything, he can't tell me all of it."


['rant[*An audible sigh is heard* Alright, I'll tell the Vox Operator to send a distress call out to the other nearby regiments. I was hoping you'd say no.]
If one was there, they could hear the constant sound of far-off fighting.

[Twi]

"He being Berkar, I assume. Very well, but I'll have to make another one."
She starts doing so.

[Phantom]

Meanwhile, with the two regiments...
"Sargeant, only three regiments answered and one is still in orbit."
"Well, who are they?"
"Two Elysian regiments and the Cadian 40th Shock Troops."
"...Dammit."


Meanwhile, with Shimmer-Dariel.
{I hate lying to her...}

[Twi]

..."Dariel, is that REALLY the reason?"
Apparently her various abilities are good enough to detect lies like that. Or maybe just SUPER PERCEPTION SKILLZ.

[Phantom]

"Definitely."[/lie]




Meanwhile, again with the two regiments, controlling Berkar this time...
{Twenty-five miles to the nearest Kasr and reinforcements, damn Bloodletters and and World Eaters are chasing us...}
