Experimented since he was five, but still loved by his scientist mother. When his father told him stories of the Empire, he grew infatuated with it. But when Alexander's mother is killed, and the corruption of the Empire is revealed to him, it sets...
Erickson and his retinue had entered Helsreach. But they had to push through heavy resistance. But the astartes, Iron Guard, Vandenberg, and Malcom pushed through. The arbitor protected Erickson and Melissa as they followed.
The retinue would come across a small organized militia. With them was a noble of sorts armed with an interesting pistol. It wasn't a bolt pistol, nor a las-pistol at all.

Noble: Who are you people? Who travel the outskirts with such a militarized retinue?
Erickson: I am Doctor Erickson, I come on the behest of bringing law and order to the city. In the name of my emperor
Noble: Emperor..... we have not heard that title in such a long time. But who is this emperor you speak of?
Erickson said nothing as he got an idea. If the seal would help him gain the trust of the assassins, then it should help with this noble. He took it out and showed the noble, shocking him.
Noble: All of you come with us quickly, we must get to the spires
Erickson nodded and his retinue followed the noble. On their way, the astartes and Iron Guard shot down numerous hostiles, all who seemed to be mutant.
Erickson: What's a noble doing out here? I'd expect your kind would hardly leave this large city
Noble: I was ousted for challenging the reigning household. They would let the rest of the hive die to the raiders as long as they were safe
Malcolm: Raiders?
Noble: We call them techno-barbarians around here. Ravenous bunch, but those in the spires pay them no mind
Vandenberg: Perhaps it's time for a change in leadership
Noble: I couldn't agree more, those armored men. They are called astartes yes?
Erickson: How did you know?
Noble: My family told me stories, we have all types of data here. A scientist like yourself would find them useful
Erickson: Indeed.....
Noble: Once we enter, be prepared for tight spaces. The lower parts of the hives are quite crowded
Erickson: I'm sure the Iron Guard will keep up. The astartes won't have any problem I believe
Back down southeast, the Jaegers had arrived at Kyoroch. They had stopped to get dressed for a welcoming party hosted at Bolic's mansion. Though Wave felt a little bit out of place in his suit.
In fact, Wave was in a black suit while Run was in a white one. Kurome worse a light red dress while Seryu wore a green one with long white gloves.
(If any of you have read the manga then you know what I'm talking about)
Wave: It really doesn't feel right to wear clothes like these.....
