Before leaving, Maxi speaks to the enginarium crew. "If you’re able and can help get the main power on, then do it!!! It may redeem you." "Ignace you HAVE seniority!" “Lead the way Chief.”

Haxtes uses his last strength too open the door too the corridor where Venus is, hoping that the gas will dissipate automatically when the door opens. If he can get to her Haxtes drags her to the command deck will trying too wake her. "We need too drop the ship out of warp now, Venus or there will be no dawn for us." Haxtes feel its better too live somewhere in real space rather than dieing in the warp now :)

"Stay focused chief, we need you. Lets get to the crew. We'll try get in touch with agent Venus on our way. Max hesitates a moment then goes to Xarza and speak softly to her: "Lady Xerza do you know the position of acolyte Venus?"

Haxtes pulls out his remaining auto-syringes and punch them into his thigh. They take effect almost immediately, shutting out the pain and filling the body with false energy. A leap sends you out of the pit and your land running, blade in hand, charging madly at the captain. He moves to meet you and you flip away from his blade at the last instant, scoring a hit across his cheek as you pass him by. No blood. The flesh is simply disrupted by the blade's annihilation field, but knits together again moments later. Suffice to say Haxtes has never seen anything like it. The wrongness of it all almost overcomes you, but Xerza is there, whispering in your ear, keeping you focused. You land gracefully behind the captain, intending to slice though his leg. But he's too fast, and you must content yourself with sweeping his legs from under him and hacking of his sword-arm as he comes crashing to the floor. Good: He has no blade anymore. Bad: He gets up right away, like a puppet pulled straight by a puppeteer. Worse: His lost hand regenerates in seconds - to be replaced by a hideous crab-like claw. Worst: Haxtes feels sick to the core and would have collapsed vomiting had not another unseen presence kept him erect. The power blade flashes again and again. The claw it cannot harm, whatever it is made of seems completely impregnable to harm, but the rest of the captain's body is fair game. Again and again you hit him, while keeping clear of the bewitched claw. It does you no good. Until the opportune moment arrives; when you cleave of its left leg, sending it crashing to the floor. Before anything can grow out of the stump you follow up with a decapitating stroke; the head rolls across the floor. It stops a few meters away. The black eyes continue to look upon you; behind you you hear the abomination rise again. Then a sudden inspiration; you drop the blade and leap forward, barely avoiding the monster's claw, landing in a roll you sweep up the head, in goes a grenade, and then you dive head-first into the crew-pit, landing hard. Behind you a muffled (hard to speak with your mouth full of grenade) scream; "Curse you to Hell bit...". Then the grenade goes of. When Haxtes finally manages to get up again he is greeted by Jarra's half-crazed coughing laughter; she's badly wounded but apparently (barely) alive. Of the captain there is no sign, unless you count some sticky gelatinous goo splattered across the bridge deck. Xerza: "Well done little one."

Jax: "We need more crew. We have to find out if the second shift is still alive and locked in or what. A few of them worked as apprentices under the last Magos we had onboard. That's the best I can do. If they are dead then we're screwed, unless that tech-priest of yours can do anything to get main power online. Now that we hold the enginarium we should be able to use the secondary cargo spine to reach the crew decks. That way we won't have to suit up and go outside. It'll be much faster. Perhaps even fast enough." As you are about to respond your comm crackles to life; its Vern, speaking very calmly: "Emperor protect us all. I can see them. They are breaking through." That's all. No explanation, but the word 'they' was heavy with meaning, as if 'they' are known to Vern. Then Xerza looks up and speaks plainly for the first time. "They will not. I can keep them at bay for a while longer. But not forever. You must hurry and restore power." Her eyes are no longer her own; in their stead two black orbs. In them you see the reflection of starlight and mad geometrical shapes. Disturbing, but beautiful in an alien sort of way. Jax, however, almost panics at the sight; instinctively taking a step backwards.

Seeing that Xerza is relatively safe. Max heeds the mechanical voice and heads back to Jax. "Chief, we must let the crew loose to try and stabilize the warp-field. The auto gunner will continue his guard and keep the weapons secure. I'll head back trying to get in comm contact with the armory or the barricade."

Fortunately Ignace looks like he's got the first-aid under control. At least if he can get a proper medicae-kit. "We left Xerza in the hall outside; she's not in fighting shape. I don't know what's wrong with her, but she's not well." She's out in the hall all right. And she doesn't look too good. There is blood running from her nose and out of her ears, and she's muttering something, almost as if talking to someone: "...there will be no Emperor waiting, only oblivion. Fight it. Find the strength. Find faith in the God-Emperor. Find the hate. Fight it. Fight it NOW!"
