[u][i]A meeting of the Greats.[/i][/u] [u]Golden Palace, 1100 hours.[/u] [i]The first to call up the meeting was inquisitors Krieger and Gwayne. Next, was Eleanor Lancaster, Tempestor Prime of the 7th Baltic Manticores. The meeting conveyed all the leaders of the Imperium that were currently present. From the Lord General of the 101st Vendoland to Roboute Guilliman, everybody attended. In total, there was seventeen attendants. The Canoness of the Order of the Ebon Chalice, Canoness Lucretia. The Inquisitors of the three Ordo Majoris: From Malleus, Inquisitors Krieger and Gwayne, from Xenos, Obadiah the Sentinel, and from Hereticus, Lancelot the Pious. The two men came with the leaders of their Chamber Militant, Lex Aurellius of the Deathwatch, and the Canoness. Then, Lancaster, Prime of the 7th Baltic Manticores. Followed by the Lord Generals of the three Imperial Guard detachments present during the Conflict; the green coated lord of the 101st Vendoland, Lord Brackus, the Newly appointed General Stubbs of the 8th Cadian regiment and finally, Lord Scurge, of the 412th Death Korps of Krieg. As for the Astartes, there were the Chapter masters of the Raven Guard, Black Templars, Blood Ravens, Blood Angels, and finally, Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines. Another figure watched Silently, perhaps overestimating his cloaking abilities...[/i] [i][b]"Explain yourselves, Inquisitors. Why have you called us all here, while we were occupied with the heat of battle?"[/b] Guilliman asked, looking down at the Inquisitors of Malleus. "My Lord," began the Witch Huntress, "it is because we have found a threat, a hidden one, but a threat that could well mean the end of the Imperium.[/i] "You mean like the Reapers? Who's bloody arse we just kicked?" [i]Spoke Obadiah, who was obviously moody about being taken away from disciplining inefficient soldiers. "No. Much worse. An enemy you've met before, My lord. One whom you've worked with." She looked at the Chapter master of the Blood Angels while saying this.[/i] "Oh bloody hell with the Necrons again..." [i]"I have found solid proof that the Necrons have something dire in plan. I have seen it myself."[/i] "And what proof is that?"[i] asked Lancaster, who had arrived merely seconds late to the meeting. "Traces, Routes, treasure maps, so to speak, pointing towards artefacts of a single kind. They want to revive a C'tan. Nightbringer." [u]"What preposterous claims!"[/u] shouted Lancelot. [u]"To bring back a dead deity?! Impossible!"[/u] "Impossible or not, they are hell bent on seeing this being rise once more."[/i] [spoiler]open for observation, or if you have a high-ranking Imperial officer, feel free to chime in.[/spoiler]
