Jason Kharo
Bounty Hunter
Fighting in the bar
The bounty hunter pivoted on his hips, before bringing his foot down to smash into another attack's skull, sending him stumbling away. Suddenly, he noticed a man in the bar reaching into his jacket, and his gut feeling took over. Jason quickly picked up the knife that he had recently been attacked with, and threw it across the bar into the thug's hand, pinning his hand to his stomach, and just out of reach of what ever he was going for. Once more, he leaned backwards, grabbing an empty bottle, bringing it back over his head, smashing one person with it, then slicing another one's jugular artery, who fell back into the arms of two other thugs.
And then it was over. None of the other locals wanted to come near him. "Lets go." He said to Bodo and the assassin, casually kicking a chair from his right, so a man sneaking up on him with a cleaver tripped up on it, and stuck himself in the stomach. "Adept, where to now?" He asked simply as he left the bar in a much worse state than it had been ten minutes ago.

Colm Kravos, a colonel of Andalus Prime Administratum security forces who is rumored to be on a roll to be promoted to a guard general and another step forward to restoring his nobility if he helps the administratum in restoring the the vast tithes set on the planet.
He saw a squad of guardsmen waiting outside his HQ and noting the sergeant's name as Wayne Fokley he said to him "A little boring sitting in the same spot for a few hours huh sergeant?" chuckling a little to myself I continue saying "I've got a report saying our guests are fighting in a bar, how about we go introduce ourselves" without waiting for a reply I start walking to my command chimera saying "oh and that was an order, we don't got all day"

Alphonse Tarquinn
Princip Adept
'Right, I don't know about you guys buy I don't intend to be here when the Arbites turn up. We should make for the Administratum HQ, I have to get somewhere safe to plan our next move.' He said as he produced the evidence from the attaker in the bar, it was a small letter upon which were the words make sure the offworlder Adept and his team meet with an unfortunate fatal end.
What stood out more was the the letterhead, it had come from the office of the Planetary Governor
He produced a small auspex from his robes and studied it quickly for a moment before heading in the direction of the Administratum headquarters, they would have to hurry, no doubt their attackers would have sent word to their employer of their failure.
'Bodo, take the lead, you know these streets better than we do, I want to get there quickly but we have to make sure we're not followed.'
As if to re-enforce Tarquinn's concerns for their safety, a shot rang out from a rooftop overlooking their group and the plaster on the wall next to Tarquinn's head exploded.
'Jason, Scarlett cover us! Clearly I have underestimated just how badly the Governor wants us dead. This isn't just because we stepped on his toes. Something else is at work. We have to move quickly! The Governor won't attack us in the Administratum sector, he has no control there and we have our own security forces to deal with any frontal attack.'

All this needed restraint was starting to drive Scarlet up the wall. God-Emperor curse all this sneaking around. If she had it her way, those who were shooting at them would be gutted and their torn, rendered corpses nailed to the door of the Governer as a reminder that the Emperor was watching him and that those inside were overstepping their boundries. If she had it her way, they would be waging an underground war of merciless application of violence and death. If she had it her way, the Governers house would be blown up, his kin scattered to the wind and those close to him maimed. It would ensure his cooperation, it would remind him that the God-Emperor is kind to those who are obedient to their calling of the Imperium... and that the Emperor dealt with all traitors equally.
With death.
There was no room for remorse, no room for pitty and no excuse for such treasonous acts against the agents of the God-Emperor. If she had it her way the Governer wouldn't be interfering with them in a couple of days. But she was not in charge, she was not on her own anymore and she was ordered to act as Tarquinn saw fit for her to act. How he got a hold of the cult was one thing and proof that the God-Emperor guided him to this calling, so it stood to reason that his way was a rightous one, no matter the conflict of the ways that he worked compaired to how she would.
She pulled the Princip Adept into an Ally way close by to get out of the line of sight. She flicked her wrists and two of her throwing daggers came into her hands. She peeked around the corner and tried to pick out where exactly the gunners were. If she could get close, close enough to use her twin mono-swords, she would show them the beautiful art of Bloodletting. However, she was not sure where they were, or if she could get to them that easily. If any of her other teammates could giver her some cover fire and gave her an opertunity to get close and personal, she would be able to take them out relatively quickly. Where was that useless twist anyway? Still shooting up the bar like an idiot or did he stay true to his cowardly mutant nature and flee after all. She was pretty sure that Bodo couldn't be trusted. Why a mutant of all things to lead them? For now, all she could do was keep her ears open and make sure that nothing happened to Tarquinn while they either waited for the twist to show up or could find a way to deal with these gunners.

Jason Kharo
Bounty Hunter
Arming up
"We should contact the Arbites. They are a separate organisation to the Governor and should aid us with this treachery." Jason said, looking down at the auspex, before he spun round into a corner alley way when the shot rang out. An auto-gun, sniper variant, and the sniper was appallingly bad. He quickly threw his bag with his needle gun in to Tarquinn. "Take that. Don't use it unless you have to. I'll go deal with the sniper. Make your way to where you need to be."
The bounty hunter pulled out his two hand guns and quickly ran out back into the road, two bullets impacting where he stood a second ago. The man never stood still for a second, constantly weaving back and forth, towards the building the sniper was shooting at him, the Imperial agent's cloak flowing behind him as he leaped forward, diving into the cover of a large bulk carrier, a bullet making a hole in his coat.

Just like that, the fighting was over. But by the Emperor the bar was ruined! Rubi was no where to be seen, hopefully she ran for her father as soon as the fighting started. She'd explain that Bodo was defending the establishment and after a little redecoration, the Ratling would be welcomed back again.
Bodo holstered his pistol and hopped off the bar, following the bodyguard man out and to where Tarquinn and the woman of his dreams were standing.
The boss man seemed a little winded and he might have taken a hit somewhere but he looked together still, for someone his age. Tarquinn suggested regrouping with the Administratum, a wise idea. Bodo had passed by that place before, it was massive and it surely could house an army of protectors.
"Its a little ways to get there boss, but if we stick to the alleys we should be fine. This isn't the best neighborhood. The Arbiters will take their time getting here."
He led the group to nearby alley, but just as he did a shot rang out, almost pegging Tarquinn in the skull. Bodo reached behind over his shoulder and grabbed a dirt caked hunting rifle. It looked in poor shape, but the tiny man was a crack shot with it.
The beauty drew dual daggers, she was just as deadly was she was gorgeous it seemed. She was becoming more attractive by the second! Next up, the bodyguard armed himself and went hunting for the enemy sniper.
Bodo sighted his rifle, searching for the attacker, he could have probably sighted him and took him out but there were more important things than battle glory, let the bodyguards have that. He but the rifle back into an idle position in his hands.
"Boss, we can fight them off all day and night but they wont stop chasing us until your somewhere they cant get you. We should get moving!"

Sergeant Wayne Fokley
4th Everik Black Watch, Munitorum Security Forces
Adeptus Administratum Andalus Headquarters
Mounting up
Wayne had just finished rolling his smoke when the blast doors hissed open. Wayne lit the smoke by rubbing one of his mechanical fingers over a flint imbedded in the bottom of the artificial thumb. As he took his first drag, he heard booted feet crunch into the ground behind him and glanced over his shoulder to see Colonel Kravos. Wayne was not sure how he felt about the aristocratic officer. On one hand, his upbringing on Everik had been one of middle class and thus he was not born with the violent hatred to nobility that the lower rungs suffered. However, as he had learned in the Imperial Guard, nobles were the men who sat in orbiting ships and Leviathan command vehicles and sent men like Wayne to their deaths without batting an eye. He also knew that Kravos was promoted partially because of his nobility, rather than rising the ranks through commission. The Colonel made an attempt at a joke, which was met only by Wayne taking another drag of his smoke and exhaling it through his nose. Kravos then waved the Sergeant over to a waiting Chimera, mentioning something about a barfight nearby. Wayne cracked his neck and pulled on his cap, which displayed the crest of Everik, a skeleton with a bagpipe wearing Cadian attire, proudly in its center. He limped his way over to the Chimera, a gait caused by the fact that he couldn't fit his robotic leg in a boot and it stood an inch higher than the right leg in a boot. He dragged himself into the vehicle, unclipped his waist shotgun and began to go through the Rites of Operation. As he fussed over the weapon, he looked up at Kravos, who sat across from him.
"What's out plan of action when we get to this brawl, sir?"

Alphonse Tarquinn
Princip Adept
'I won't involve the local Arbites until I'm sure where their loyalties lie. But more importantly I want to make sure I have enough evidence to take down all the players of this conspiracy, the Arbites would not be so subtle.' Tarquinn said to Jason 'I smell corruption, or worse! I mean if the Governor was worried we would go to the Arbites with this do you think he's have used letter headed paper? No, he's confident we have no-one to turn to.'
Tarquinn took the gun and gave it a quick once over, he was pretty sure he could use it if the time came. He activated the micro vox he had concealed as an Administratum pin on his robes, ''This is Princip Adept to any Administratum security forces in the vicinity, I am declaring a primary lockdown, I want the Administratum district sealed and I need an extraction team on my position, authorization Terra one gamma six!'
He looked to Bodo, 'Well I hope you can keep us alive until re-enforcement's arrive. Lets go!'
He watched as Jason ran towards the sniper, amazed at how he kept dodging the bullets. He almost felt sorry for the sniper, he was clearly outclassed and didn't stand a chance.

Jason Kharo
Bounty Hunter
Boo
The black clothed man slipped through the gap in the bulk hauler, climbing up onto a ledge out of sight of the sniper, who was obviously repositioning, or running away. Either way, he was dead. Jason stood up on the thick plastek roof and climbed in through an open window that lead to the emergency stair way.
Suddenly, foot steps echoed from above, a couple of floors above Jason, who quickly moved into a open door way, round an arch way to await his attacker. The man thundered past, and didn't once notice the near silent foot steps behind him as the bounty hunter drew out his machete and delivered a stab to the man's neck, a open point in his armour, so it seemed. He withdrew the large knife and put it away, after cleaning it on the man's clothing. "Tarquinn. It's an Arbites Sniper. No insignia or badges, but the carapace armour, helmet and weapon match those of the 'peace' keepers." He reported, before picking up the new, unmarked sniper, and snapped the barrel over his knee, tossing it to one side, before going back out the way he came, and jogging down the street to the Adept and the rest of the group. "Thank you." He said, taking his needle gun back of the Adept.

Thinking about Wayne's question for a second, inhaling the smoke from the sergeants smoke Kravos replied "we're to identify all those involed, living or dead, if the adminstratum squad is there we are going to see what they need and how we can help also looking in to how the bar fight started, if their not there then we try to track them down pulling in some Arbites to assist in the search".
The chimera comes to a halt as it reaches the bar, which has seen better days as Kravos notices holes in the walls and broken windows. Kravos runs up to the left side ready, Waving a few gestures to Wayne to move to the right side of the front door. "Breach and clear" Kravos signs to Wayne, pulling out his las-pistol Kravos prepares for whatever might be in the bar.....

((I'm going to move the story along a little))
Alphonse Tarquinn
Princep Adept
Adeptus Administratum HQ
Tarquinn stared at the data displayed on the Holoscreen, the information displayed was grim news. The Administratum district had been sealed off from the rest of the city, the Planetary Governor and the local Arbites were clearly corrupt and they were still no closer to getting to the bottom of the problems on this planet.
Their escape from their pursuers had been fortuitous, they had run into an Administratum combat team in a Chimera and had effected a rapid ex-filtration back to the Administratum district.
It was time for more direct action. He turned to his team , 'Well this is our situation, but we are not defeated just yet, I plan on using the sewage system to get us out of the city. It won't be pleasant but I bet our enemies won't be expecting someone of my stature to stoop to such 'uncivilized' methods.'
He turned to Bodo, 'Can I count on you to lead us through the sewers safely?'
'Once we're free of the city we'll steal what transport we can and make for the Island, we've wasted enough time I think.'
