Iron Warden of Remnant

Chapter 3

The ten Leuitenants of the ten squads of 6th company were all gathered along to show Master Tigraine the first squads finding's in the meeting chamber aboard the fist of Caliban. A cable ran from the cogitator screen to a port on the side of Midaels head, showing the recording's of the black creatures attacking them.

"mmm" Tigraine thoughtfully hummed, his face grim, "these creatures...their of an unusual composition"

"that they are my lord" Lieutenant Jerahmeel agreed, "they were easy enough for us to deal with, with the Freeblade. I'm sure one of our brother's can deal with them one-on-one."

"The dark gods have more than simple bloodletter's and daemonette's. I suspect these things, these material daemons. However that works. have more than these simple wolves" Tigriane said, "we best not to underestimate them"

"we can learn more about them from our guest" spoke up Leuitenant Grifficus of second squad.

"As well as the worlds military presence" Spoke up the Leuitenant of third squad, "what countermeasures they have for such beast's".

"and what of the fallen?" Tigraine thought, could they have a presence here? he doubted it but you could never be too sure when it came to the Fallen. He put that thought to the side, "we are in unknown water's brother's" he said, "a warp storm surround's this place, we are cut off for the time being"

"May I speak Master" Midael asked, Tigraine nodded in response to the company champion's question, "The Warps storms sudden appearance is odd, that as soon as we exit the immertium and find ourselves here, that the warp storm suddenly flares up...i sense foul play and manipulation"

Tigraine had actually been worried about that himself, the dark power's were known for their cunning and trickery even amongst the forces of khorne, deception was rampant, "there is little we can do about that without a fuller picture" he said after a long thoughtful silence, "for now we shall stay within orbit, kill teams will be sent down to secure key objectives...Vortigan shall be sent down with a contigency force to deal with more troublesome objectives".

"And what if our guest?" Asked the lieutenant of the 9th squad.

"She will be in the freeblade Balin and sacristan Lucius' care, I have ordered the sacristan to question the girl of this world to the best of her abilities and to make files on her answers which I encourage you all to read and make your squads read" Tigraine explained at length.

"I do not think that would be necessary Master" said the voice of the Techmarine Sedros, he walked into the room, his red Armor a stark contrast to the green of his brothers.

The mechadendrite on his arm held in it a small device that would have fit neatly into the palm of his hand. He had presented it to the master who took it. "And what is this?" Tigraine demanded suspiciously, holding up the bit of technology between the and forefinger.

"Perfectly safe I can assure you of that" snarked the techmarine, everyone gave him a deadpan look, his humour was often unbecoming of his chapter. "It is a dataslate, the device is a foldable hard-light projecting dataslate. It's connected to the worlds noosphere and allows the mortal to access it"

"And you have gleamed information from it?" Midael asked.

"Indeed I have. Let us start with the girl, her identity is on the device." Sedros took back the device and opened up the holographic screen on it, on the device a portrait of the girls face showed.

"She is a warrior called a huntsman" Sedros explained, "or will become one, she is designated as an aspirate, huntsman are to the people of remnant what we are to mortal guardsman. Only they do not serve a specific kingdom but act as mercenaries, independent of the 'kingdoms'. By that word along we can deduce that this is a feudal world"
