Intro Story 7

And here ends the tale, I hope you are all ready for a new mission.
Ordo Xenos.com now has a complete version of this story titled The Secrets of the vault and a new sorry by Scribe Rippin.

Scribe Rippin has documented one of the battles fought by Ultramarine Squad Ferinates whilst still led by Sergeant Tiberius now of Killteam Appache. Mission Ba'Throom


The young man strode across the small secluded docking bay’s metal plated floor towards the sleek and fragile looking black ship. He’d taken the time before this meeting to arrange for all the security monitoring this section of Erioch Fortress to be disabled and all staff to be scheduled elsewhere within the station. He was to be alone with the courier, and no one was to know about what transpired. He stopped by the side of the vessel ad waited whilst the ramp descended. ‘By the Emperor let this work.’ He thought as with a mild creaking sound the ramp locked in place and down it came a cautious, armoured figure. Lithe and on edge she held herself with a natural grace and poise that could only disguise no eradicate her uncertain wariness.

The man ahead of her was no Space Marine like she encountered on the Yngirbane world, this man was Mon-Keigh but seemingly non-perturbed by her alien status. He was cloaked in a aura of calm and assuredness, the kind that hung about the seers of her craftworld Banshees before a battle was joined. She couldn’t explain why but his calm alongside her only added to her worry.

“You bring that which Harvin asked me to care for?” The Inquisitor asked gently, trying to set the Eldar woman at ease with use of the Eldar’s own archaic tongue. “As the favour has been asked no others of my home or order know of this meeting. I shall hide that which you bear and bring it forth only when it is needed.” He approached her openly with arms held out showing a willingness to take a burden.

As the Mon-Keigh spoke her own tongue Lenara relaxed slightly. “I fear you know more of my duty than I do.” Her voice was gentle and incredibly light seeming even for one of her slight stature. ‘Perhaps this man can be trusted, he speaks of those who I know and seems to aid them.’ “I do have a package for you, and I would be grateful if you took it so as I may leave this alien place.” She pulled from her satchel the bulky metal container she had taken from the Marine hoping that the man ahead of her would not realize that she had killed to get it.

Raising his hands forward the man grasped the Imperial designed containment unit and watched the Eldar woman slump to the ground in front of him. Grateful that the task had been this easy he attached the containment unit to his belt as he ejected the used charge to his Jokero digital weapon. There was ways he could pass the vessel and body to certain arms of the Adeptus Mechanicus without it becoming known to many, he mused on this as he headed into the Fortress.

Standing at the doors to the Omega Vault Inquisitor Drake marvelled again at the scope of humanities endeavour within the Jericho Reach. As the doors opened themselves on his arrival he walked in to the antechamber, this time a door opened where before Drake had seen only a wall and his path through the Vaults was new to him. Arriving at a chamber with a pedestal standing ready to receive the containment unit he carried. Alongside the pedestal was an archaic looking dataslate that activated as Drake approached. On it flashed a word over an image of a green looking planet.
