You missunderstand, I'm the brother of the R-T. I can go as him or as me as his proxy. This is to protect us, if nobody knows we are Big I they can't be made to tell that we are Big I.

To Haxtes:"Agreed." "But as stated earlier our reason to be at Solomon is repair and shifting cargo. Who will attend those missions? Should we risk crew vs native encounters unattended? And I'm not really familiar with R-T customs, will they accept security officers entrance to a high prize auction?

Too all agents: When dealing with outsiders on the maiden this includes crew. The following cover IS too be used: We are a team of hired guns, lead by the R_T`s younger brother Haxtes. We go as proxie for the R-T and are incharge of securety

Maxi organize the troop trainings in four separate classes. First, Maidens old sec crew and those of the Brazen Sky. Second, Iochantos savages. Third, Lt. Rabalias platoon and some other combatants from Orlankan. Fourth other volunteers / press-ganged survivors. (You never know, who might be useful.) The idea is to quickly fill the first group with the best of the three other groups. And if someone fails in the first they fall back to the fourth group. The second and third groups is given separate training because of their different culture and technology understandings. (Ordinary this wouldn't be considered by Maxi but since speed is an essence he doesn't want to waste time because of cultural difference. (Maxi is used from A-A-Malfi to operate behind press-ganged mobs, vigile and security forces and knows how orders are handled differently.) Inputs are wanted (and needed from others) but Maxi has a fetish about using one of the top three groups in Ship inspections/razzia. (Nothing shows character like how one handles authority in Maxi's opinion.) The forth group are tested and trained as damage-control units those who excel are considered as sec-troops.

Several days later, just as the Maiden powers up her drives an makes ready to leave, Soldevan summons you all to the observation cupola. Behind him you can see the planet, crowned by the sun, the Navy and Astartes vessels clearly silhouetted. Quite the sight - and most definitely deliberate... "You have no doubt been briefed by the Explicator. And you have no doubt concluded that you are expendable. Indeed you are. We are all expendable... But there are other reasons as well. You have proven able... expandability AND ability...that is no mean combination! If you are to die, lit it be for a greater purpose...and knowing that your duty was done - not that you failed. You think I jest? Perhaps I do, but only a little. Good help is very hard to find, especially when it comes to our line of work. You've faced frightful and demoralizing things during your short careers, but you have endured - prevailed even. For that I salute you. Finally I do it because I prefer having you close, rather than having to keep looking for you...I know that both Tancred and Globus have an interest in things that have to do with the House of Haarlock. So now we get to kill several xenos with one bolt round. Go now, and may the God-Emperor watch over you and guide you true.

You then go about your affairs - there is plenty to do during the next few days as the Maiden gets ready to leave for Solomon. Haxtes spends quite a bit of his time with Jax, Soldevan, the two Astartes officers, and other dignitaries. He has become somewhat removed from the rest of you now that the burden of command has been placed on his corded neck muscles. The Ordo Xenos (meaning the Marines) complete their assignment aboard and leave - but not before summarily executing about a score crewmen, including some of the veterans of the dark eldar attack. They also scour the place clean of xenos gear - barring whatever Azhmut and others have removed for safekeeping by the Ordo Hereticus. And exempting the xenos assault shuttle. It's still there, lodged through the main doors of the launch bay. You need to get it removed while in space-dock - so you'll just have to sit on it for now. If you want to quarrel with them - feel free - they just aren't very flexible when it comes to anything that smacks of alien contamination...

Parsifal denies being an anointed priest - but his protests fall on deaf ears. He's as close are you're going to get. So Haxtes arranges for Jax to pronounce Parsifal, by the powers anointed in him by the High Lords of Terra, as the new ship's chaplain. So now he IS formally a priest...and he can't deny being an Emperor-Brother! He's even trained as a templar - even if his martial training was on the primitive (pun intended) side - it was certainly more than adequate when it came to the religious side of things. And templars are war-priests, aren't they? And you are definitely at war - all of humanity is!

To Maxi: "I'll make a note of it and speak to our illustrious R-T about that Maxi." To Azhmut: "I have every confidence in your abilities, and I'm sure taht Brother Parsifal here can say a few wise words over the armour and fields." Haxtes does not care if the field is not stealty, its the none stealty firefights that drain blood out of his poor misused body. :)
