"Excellent!" The Sanctionite says. He removes another deck of cards from his robes, and hands them to you. "Now, watch closely..." He says, before demonstrating a trick.
The next ten minutes or so are spent learning the ins and outs of sleight of hand. Eventually, you power through your fear and the stench to open your mouth. "So, uh, how much do you know about the, uh, Sisters of Battle?" You ask. He shrugs.
"Most likely not more than you. I know they happen to be from the Order of the Argent Shroud, and I know that they were the first responders when the Orks invaded Niflheim." He gave a grim look. "They attempted to evacuate as many civilians as they could while attempting to hold off the greenskins long enough for the Imperial Guard to arrive. Without them, many, many people would have been slain or worse."
You both are silent for a moment. "So, uh, what's it like being...Well, you know?" You ask. He lets out a sad chuckle.
"To be a Psyker, you mean? Imagine waking up every day, wondering, 'is this the day? is this the day my powers fail when I need them to work? is this the day when they actively go against me and doom me?'" He absentmindedly shuffles his cards. "Even when I avoid using my powers, the knowledge that I am damned in the eyes of the Emperor because of my mutation ensures that any life I can live is a half-life at best."
"Of course, soon I won't have to worry about my powers or my damnation any more." He lets out a light chuckle that devolves into a rough cough. After a few moments of wheezing, he attempts to catch his breath. You open your mouth to inquire as to why he doesn't have to worry any more, only to be cut off.
"Dead Rot. A genetic disease that slowly eats away at the body until it expires." He attempts to stand up straight. "At best, I have a year to live. At worst, two. And before you ask, no, the disease isn't contagious. Just extremely slow and painful."
You pause for a moment at that. Witch or no, that sounded...rather awful.
"OKAY BOYS, I HAVE NEWS!" You heard captain Knock say as he walked out of the corner he and Sister Ophelia had been talking in. "After discussing the situation with the dear sister here, I've learned a few interesting things."
Ophelia cleared her throat. "Sisters! Listen as well, the Captain has told me a few....interesting things."
Knock nodded. "So, situation: The ship the Orks use to house this prison? It's crashed, on one of Niflheims larger moons. Currently outside these walls the greenskins are trying to keep back a void regiment from getting in. So, good news, we might be rescued soon. Bad news, this ain't over yet."
Ophelia then speaks. "The captain of this ship, Lockdown, has on his person a device that, if activated, will cause the ship to self destruct, killing everyone on it. We believe that if his forces start loosing the battle, he'll activate it. We CAN'T let that happen."
"So, we're splitting up into two groups to go hunt that sonofabitch and put him out of our misery and prevent him from blowing everyone up." Knock said. "We're going to keep in touch with the other team using Vox beads."
"Well well well." Boggs mutters darkly. "Looks like we're about to see a little action."
Knock and Ophelia quickly began splitting everyone into seperate groups. You yourself got placed in...
[X] Group A: Primarily comprised of flamer-wielding Sisters of Battle, with a few of Knocks men to act as snipers. Led by Sister Ophelia
[X] Group B: Mostly Knocks men and a few PDF, all trained in the use of Explosives. Led by Knock, of course.
