Chapter 32 What’s wrong? Nothing is right
Destiny Steel
A certain maintenance pipe obscured by darkness
Adalic Vanus is patiently lurking in the shadows.
He was biting into a piece of starch scone that had been thrown away by a careless recruit, and was eating without making any sound. The normal saliva softened the scone, and then allowed him to swallow it bit by bit. Going down, the comprehensive berry-flavored triglyceride gel inside made him lick his lips involuntarily.
The food aboard this so-called "Loyal Space Marine Chapter" ship, which is full of weirdness and weirdness, is at least as good as it looks.
The nutrients contained in these scraps alone were more suitable and better for the Astartes than anything he could find while wandering the Eye of Terror and the vast sea of stars.
Very pure, promethium starch is promethium starch, elemental nutrient solution is just elemental nutrient solution, and berries are just berries.
It’s a pity that the pan-fried kebab steak, stewed risotto, roasted poultry and reca coffee that looked and smelled so delicious were all gone so quickly after they were put on the canteen carousel. Sweep away.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart about a few guys who were particularly good at eating.
It is precisely because this ship is so contradictory that Vannas has never been able to determine exactly what camp this ship can be classified into.
On the surface, this ship is filled with the lackeys of the Throne Wight, but the fallen Raven Guard in the shadows can see that there is more to it than those foolish greenheads and deceived visitors. Much more.
First of all, there is something very wrong with the veterans in this ghost place who are always talking about it.
The special Chaos-soaked smell of the Astartes wrapped in the shiny new power armor is something Vannas is all too familiar with. He can say with confidence that those At least 50% of the bionic limbs were not replaced due to battle damage. What was replaced by the mechanical structure was unnatural mutated flesh.
Later, it must be pointed out that the automation rate of this place is far beyond the normal standards and the mechanical guards are too intelligent. He himself had two problems - oh, I must explain, once because they went to catch that stupid blue and purple big guy. He was implicated in the bird - he was almost discovered by the mechanical guard, which is simply unthinkable elsewhere.
Finally, there is the chapter leader who is very, very, very wrong and the Contemptor Dreadnought who is even more wrong or even 60% wrong.
The experience that helped him avoid many pursuits and dangers made him observe these two entities from a distance.
From the first time he appeared in the cargo hold, the overly tall Chapter Master brought bad memories to the mind of the Fallen Raven Guard. But at that time, when he wanted to leave, he found that the whole ship was hunting for wizards. - Vanus cursed secretly again - he was unable to leave safely immediately, and then he had to lurk in the shadows and was taken away from the starport by the moon-class barge "Destiny Steel" - and he The small war gang also dispersed.
As for that special Contemptor Fearless, whenever Aridak Vannas tries to look directly at it, he will feel a sense of discomfort rising from the bottom of his stomach, or in other words, a feeling of discomfort as if he is doing something. The fear of being discovered that something is wrong is simply unbelievable to a senior Raven Guard instructor. Even ordinary Space Marines generally do not have such a fearful emotion that is so close to that of a mortal. They should not have it.
It is unknown what was inside that thing, but it was definitely not an ordinary disabled veteran.
This was one of the reasons why he later took the risk to obtain clothing disguises from the bottom deck, and joined the Chaos Cult hodgepodge party to try to get some intelligence. After all, in this special situation, you can't start shadowing without knowing anything about your opponent. sneak.
Then the news is, well, some questions have indeed been answered, but more mysteries have emerged.
So the "Father of Genes" they are talking about might mean what he means? But Vannas prefers that it is a metaphorical slogan. As far as he knows, the old pervert Fabius Bayer, who is also a servant of the Prince of Darkness, likes to be someone's father.
The only known thing about the Loyal Primarch is the corpse on Macragge. Every time the Daemon Primarchs appear outside the Eye of Terror, they make a big fuss.
Haha, it’s impossible that there really is a Primarch here.
To be honest, when he originally selected the target for infiltration in the black market, he was attracted by the size of the ship and the wealth of purchasing materials. He planned to infiltrate to see if he could get any benefits or if he was lucky, he could get something from the ship. More.
But the Dark Prince's XX and XX, who would have thought that the stealth environment and undercurrents in this ship are simply more dangerous than a visit from the Sixth Ring.
Not only are vicious and insidious traps everywhere around every core area of this damn place, but its structure and shadows are completely and utterly unreasonable.
He swallowed the last bite of his scone, then looked at his pitted black power armor, covered in scratches and scrawled patches, as he thought about what he had seen earlier today. He had been eyeing the weapons and equipment of the two exiled Ultramarines, and was considering whether to leave some contact information or take something away. Perhaps the armory's warehouse was also an option.
But when he touched the place, he discovered that there had never been a living person in the armory of this mysterious Space Marine mothership - or at least a creature with some living parts on his body - who had come out to eat or drink some Promethium Sulaka. While drinking coffee, he knew that the matter should be reconsidered.
After long-term lurking and observation near the armory, Adalic formulated a bold stealth breakthrough plan. He tried to rely on his own talent to uncover part of the truth about this ship wrapped in heavy fog.
This idea of the Fallen still seems too reckless at first glance. After all, he is only one person, and this is a road full of traps, force fields, and Ramirez-class fortress robot guards (speak of why There are so many different mechanical guards here?) The monastery mothership.
However, Vanus, who once served as the senior mentor of Crow Tower and the Shadow Company Commander of the Fourth Company "Quiet Ones", does have the capital to be so conceited.
The Fourth Company of the Raven Guard - Although they also control their fleet according to the regulations, the Fourth Company selects and studies how to master the "Three Strikes of Shadows" taught by their Primarch. The second path is how to learn their primarch's miraculous ability to use any shadow to sneak silently, so that they can keep moving forward and gain an advantage even when enemies are surrounding them.
It's just a pity that his jumping bag has inevitably been damaged during decades of wandering. Although it can still be used, the noise it makes when it is activated is too loud.
So this time Vannes decided to go with something more traditional.
Follow the shadow.
The Fallen Raven Guard closed his eyes, and the inspiration in his blood allowed him to successfully reduce the sense of "his" existence.
Then, like a drop of black ink on black tissue paper, very counterintuitively, the Space Marines in black power armor "melted" from the shadow of the pipe into the end of the team that was searching outside the armory. In that elongated shadow.
Hey, I wasn't going to get caught half a day like that stupid wizard parrot who looked like an oversized psychic tracer bullet.
Adalik Vannas thought almost proudly.
——Although the guy was doing pretty well after being caught.
——
"...It turned out that he was exactly as you simulated and deduced, and he put himself into the stasis trap we carried with the search team."
"Why are you so surprised? He should be very honored to be captured by the arrangement of a original body."
The dog lay on the sofa with his paws on the viewing equipment, and directed his body to do it again. Rub the corners of your eyes and the base of your ears yourself.
"Well, just, your heirs look frustrated and happy at the same time - that is to say, although you can do everything by yourself, maybe you should try not to worry about so much sometimes?"
"I am sure that I am already indulging them, Lamizane." Perturabo narrowed his eyes, "You can ask for the rusty man who is the most frustrated in each team..."
"No, no, I think they can be polished by letting them go to the gladiatorial cage and training room more!...I am starting to understand your poor sons..."
"Tsk!" The original Border Collie scoffed from his chest, "Being too soft-hearted is a disease, mortal. Let Aharin put this guy into a specially made shadowless cage, and then it will be my favorite torture time. "
"...Have you had any issues with Corvos Krax and his legion?"
"Well, does Isstvaan count?"
< br>"...As if I didn't ask."
Gua!
The name of the current fourth company commander of the Raven Guard is not Vanus (nonsense)
But since the word CAPTAIN can indeed refer to the company commander, it is written as company commander instead of captain (you)
