Order!- Yelled the moderator of transactions banging his steel staff, his symbol of authority, on the white marble floor of the council chamber, his voice echoing in vast arena. The arena was made so that anyone who stood in the center, where the moderator stood this very moment, was to be heard throughout the arena. And they did hear him. The myriad Councilors and the House representatives heeded his word, and sat on the cold stone benches. Each row of benches was placed higher than the last one, creating a stadium-like chamber. The large crowd shut up, and waited for the moderator to speak again, their faces tensed in expetation. After a few seconds, after everyone was seated, the moderator spoke again.
House Vandis has the word – continued the moderator as the figure in red velvet robes arose to it's feet after hearing those words. Passing the large stone pillars, that possesed highly ornate motffs carved in their octagonal structure that spoke of great deeds and victories, and supported heavy rockcrete roof, with a dome in the middle. The hole in the center of the dome allowed the light of the dawn to pass in the chamber, showering the room in the white and blue light of the hydrogen-saturated sun. The figure passed the front row and two more figures arose to follow the red robed figure, their robes also red. The figure continued to the center, two of the peacekeepers moved to deny them entry, but the leading figure raised it's right hand and bright purple light shone from the open palm of his raised hand, the peacekeepers' faces had an expression of surprise and fear, and moved aside at once to allow them passage . They climbed to the plinth where the moderator stood, then they removed their hoods and revelaed their faces.
One man and two women stood in front of the moderator, and he said What is this? Where's governor Vandis? - demanded the moderator, his voice furious, his hazel brown eyes firey. After all, who dared to interfere with the works of the administratum. The man standing in front of him revealed his face. His patrician features possesed immense authority, and his, long, chalk white hair hung from his shoulders, the firery emerald green eyes looked right through the moderator, as if he was transparent, that scared the moderator more then the thought of what would happen next. The man raised his right hand and the purple light once again shinig from his palm. The moderator opened his mouth, but did not speak. He was disturbed visualy, and his trembling hands handed the staff to the man, who grabed it hastily, but firmly. He passed between the two women who's faces' were somewhat pretty, but their dark sormcloud eyes anulled any beauty that was reflected from their faces by the blue-white light of the sun. The tatoo of ornate capital „I“ set on their left cheek, right below their left eye, did not add to their beauty, although that was a point of view. He handed one of them the staff made of pure thick steel, fully five centimeters in diameter, the double headed imperial aquila made of pure gold ornamented with the most rare, and beautiful, of jewles avilable to man was set at the head of staff. The staff glistened with golden light, that was the sign of respect to whomsoever set eyes upon it's glory. The man placed both hands on the railing made from the wood most rare on this planet, and therefore very expensive. The railing was very thick and ornamented with laurels of victory that spoke of His eternal glory.
Then he spoke: Governor Vandis is not able to make it to this meeting. He is indisposed. He was readying to speak again when somenone interrupted him. Who are you? – yelled the voice from the auditorium, and the crowd demanded the answer . I am... – he said as he reached for an object contained in ... – Inquistor ...- a box of pluvian obsidian... – Matthais Vanadeo... – embossed with single motiff, of a grinning skull, ...- of the Holy Order of The Emperors Inquisition. -and a simple motto, Innocentia Nihil Probat – Innocence Proves Nothing. Below the skull was written in capital letters - Ordo Hereticus. His voice was resounding, infused with authourity, echoing thorought the auditorium. The attendans looked each other with fear and surprise. It has come to the attention of the Inquisition that voices of heresy echo throught this planet, voices of haterd- he continued looking at the confused and scared stares of the attendants.- voices that are an insult to His glourious majesty – The Holy Emperor of Mankind- and he pointed to the statues of the Emperor situated in the corners of hexagonal auditorium. The Emperors' left hand held a flaming sword in a reverse grip, and the right was extended to allow his ethereal might to enter the auditorium. Statue was made of solid gold, and resembled the Emperor's form perfectly. Master artisans from all corners of this world were involved in it's creation. So this task falls to me, to carry out the Inquisitions wish. After six months spent on this planet my decision is as follows: Although I know that not everyone is touched by the fell powers of the Immaterium.- his voice was grim and true – In order to start anew without the capital punishment of an Exterminatus, I have decided that this council is to be purged, together with the hab-spires : Golgotha, Vangelis, Machairus and the Sancta Heroica. In His glorious name. - You cannot do this!- echoed from the auditorium- We are not sinners! I am NOT a sinner! –as those words were spoken more red-robed figures arose from the seats, wielding heavy flamers filled with fast burning, highly falamable, white hot, promethium gas. The gas was oozing from the barrels of freshly used flamers. Accept your punishment!- shrieked one of the female with the Inquistor. She no longer wore a robe. She no longer shielded herself from the curious stares. She was clad in her armour blessed by the Holy Emperor, written all over with litanys of hatred, and adorned with purity seals that spoke of great courage she had presented, the terrible benediction she had granted all those who were ignorant of the Emperors power and might. All, in His Name, were clensed with Holy flame. Slightly darkend plates of her cuirass were adorned with the symbols of the Adeptus Sororitas. One of the Order Militant. Order of the Valorous Heart symbol was etched on the front of her armour, which was charcoal black, made of the finest ceramite, contoured perfectly to her form.
