Meanwhile Katherina and Felix both followed the instructions of their servoskull and were currently on their way towards the Central Docks.
"Let us see what mission awaits.) Said Katherina as the two of them entered their own lift.
Eur'i nodded to the Eldar as she exited. In hindsight, it was rather foolish of him not to notice the fact she was an Eldar before this point. He shook his head at himself before making his way back to his room, grabbing the helmet and rifle. He secured the pathfinder helmet on and slung the rifle over his shoulder before booking it back towards the elevator.
Rowbutt went back to his quarter and picked up his hammer. "Time for some smitin for da Boss!" He went to the lift with a [URL="http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/055/562/42b.gif"]confident strut[/URL]
The kroot heads to his room to grab his gun and starts to head to the central docks. He stays near the tau on the way there to speak to him.
[QUOTE]"...Eugh... Speaking of, in fact... I do not suppose you have any experience in repair of our drone systems?"[/QUOTE]
"I do not know how to repair drones. You should try taking it to the human mechanics though," He chuckles to himself. "I'm sure they would love to help with that."
Felix nodded and took one last gulp of his beverage before following Katherina out of the door. As they walked, his hand rested on the pommel of his sword.
"A mission so soon and after a short warp jump. I wonder if we are still in space, then. Perhaps in an asteroid belt or at a station," he wondered as he strode alongside the Sororitas.
Snugbuz seeing as everyone is on the left throws the lever and heads the lift towards the docks.
Eur'i shook his head with a short chuckle, raising a hand up. "I'm certain those luddite Gue'la would sooner have my head on a spike than work with our technology. Either that or destroy the drone's circuitry by rubbing smelling salts or somesuch into it."
"I hope for the latter." Said Katherina. "However I fear that our employer may have other plans." Eventually the two Imperials found themselves inside the Central Docks, waiting for their alien "comrades" as well as the Rogue Trader herself.

"Quite so. Rogue Traders have a reputation for being eccentric," Felix said, glancing around at the area they were in. He watched crew members carrying on with their work and eyed them with some idle curiosity.
"Regardless of where we shall go, I will be needing to adjust my attire. I don't enter into combat wearing my vestments if I can help it, usually. And I would appreciate procuring a lasgun as well - I have my sword and pistol, but a proper lasgun can get the job done," he explained. "Though perhaps I am being hasty assuming we will be joining a mission which involves fighting. I wouldn't mind going down the gravity well and enjoying some time on the surface of a planet."
Katherina smiled. "If all goes well perhaps both of us will be busy to motivate the others with words of wisdom and inspiration."
She then unholstered her boltgun and made sure that it was fully loaded. Just in case. She then looked up at Felix. "Let us see if the others will keep us waiting."
Thaddius rocked forward, ending his prayer as the ship finishes its travel through the Warp. Rising from his kneel, his metallic limbs hum as he locks himself into an upright stance, just in time for a Servitor to relay the Rogue Trader's call for him to the Central Docks.
With a curt nod to the Servitor, he leaves the engineerium and departs to the meeting place of the team.
As the group eventually poured into the Docks several dozens of similar groups did the same as they were heading to Lockers stashing imperial weapons Several picked weapons of their choosing while dropships landed, preping for Avenger's forces to head in for something big out there. The Rogue Trader was no where to be found but an Arch Miliant, drinking from a golden flask. He wore carapiece armor and holding his helmet by his side.

"Quite so," he said, stroking his mustache once more as he often did. "I wonder if any of them would be willing converts. Not that they [i]have[/i] to be willing, but it would help in this situation."
Felix approached the Arch Militant and bowed. "Greetings, sire. I suppose it would not be inappropriate for me to procure myself arms and armor?"
Snugbuz accosts the Arch Militant and asks " The skull mentioned weapon requisitions where those be I would love some more shooty and choppy"
The veteran turned to the missionary and bowed in respect. "Not at all. I am pleased to see you Missionary." He pressed his hands to his plated chest, closing his eyes.
"Yaroslav Aroj. Standing Arch Militant for the Rogue Trade Mikaela Amea. Not exactly the most important but I'm sure I can address some things about the Command." The Arch pointed to the large transports leaving off supplies for the hired guns.
"We contain Imperial arms of the finest order, whether it'll be lasguns or a mere bolter. I ask you do not break of these weapons with the Admech watching over."
Katherina approached. "We will treat your weapons with utmost care, thank you Arch Militant." She nodded towards the soldiers pouring. "May I ask if there'll be a briefing of the mission at hand?"
Felix gave another short bow to the Arch Militant and strode over to some of the lockers lining the wall. He eyed the equipment over, and then picked out a [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c4/2a/04/c42a0496fbbaa08b5351830893ca3a1c--sci-fi-characters-space-suits.jpg]heavy duty voidsuit[/url]. It was khaki, almost like an Elysian jumpsuit, and was padded along crucial areas and around the joints. Numerous pockets and latches were spread around the suit for equipment and tools to be attached. The helmet was of the detachable kind, and had a wide visor with various shielding elements to protect the wearer's face. For extended use, Felix pulled on a large power and vitals pack and attached the hoses to his suit. He stowed away his robes in a locker and reattached his power sword and heavy stub revolver to his person. He glanced around at the stocked weapons, and picked out a heavy shotgun. It seemed like from the other people gearing up, they were going to be doing some close quarters work.
With his helmet in his hands and his shotgun slung over his shoulder, he watched the others prepare themselves - though his gaze mostly lingered on the xenos.
"I imagine that we will prepare shortly for the Trader's briefing in a few minutes. Otherwise we'll be sent to Devourer Dropships."
Kelrys simply observed, already geared up for the most part. She simply pulled down her hood, revealing the faded yellow helmet she wore, and shifted the long rifle slung onto her back. A shuriken pistol sat on her hip for the close quarters encounters inside the vessel. She watched the others deal with their equipment, before meeting the gaze of one of the humans watching them. She studied him for a moment, sizing him up. [I]Probably one of those Imperial Guard troopers.[/I] Her eyes then traveled to the Sister of Battle that they had met earlier, before returning to the others.
"Understood. Thank you." Said Katherina, before bowing her head. She then followed Felix over to the equipment.
She already had a helmet of her own and thus only grabbed a simple thrusterpack which also carried enough oxygen for a couple of hours. She didn't expect to fare well in the cold deep of space either way.
"Are you ready?" She asked Felix. Before he could answer Katherina noticed Kelrys's gaze. She nodded, hoping that perhaps the Eldar would feel inclined to initiate a dialogue.
Noticing one of the humans putting on a void suit, Khrak approaches the arch militant. "Are we going into space or somewhere that one of those suits is needed?" he asks as he points to Felix.
"Void suits will act as a precautionary. Incase this ship we will be entering has any hull breaches. But the Bridge has advised we should keep several in emergencies."
Thall, scuttling out of his private den within the factorums of the vessel in a stressed haste towards the crental docks. Quickly checking and readying the various complex mechanisms slung across his armored shell as his mechanical body sprints throughout the steel corridors to the docks.

"I see. Would I be right to assume that there are none that would fit me?"
"Xenos are less prioritized despite caches of void suits based on your kind."
Snugbuz grabs a shotgun fit for a space marine from the supplies left for him "You and me are gonna do some right propah killin' together"

"Even one for me boss?"
"Rogue Traders usually staff their Ork mercenaries with a fitting Void suit design. You'll find one in one of the transports."
Eur'i, upon reaching the hangar, remained vigilantly on watch. He stood a respectful number of feet from Kelrys, and, as a precautionary measure, an even more respectful number further, should the Sororitas approach. He scanned his surroundings. These Gue'la vessels seemed positively primitive compared to even the more ramshackle vehicles and devices that the Tau were able to think up. Close, guarded eyes peered around the massive hangar bay from under the composite mask of the helmet, the light from his visor very subtly shifting its glow to accompany his gaze. It settled on the two humans-- quite obviously religious leaders, if common Imperial clothing standards applied. While under most circumstances he wouldn't be too terribly threatened, the fact that this was a close-quarters engagement with a race that had shown an affinity for it didn't give him much confidence, should they attempt to spark up some conversation-- and he provoke their ire.
Kelrys finally spoke up. "Would you happen to have a suit that would fit an Eldar? And maybe our Tau friend here?" she asked, motioning with a hand over towards where Eur'i had just arrived.
Katherina spoke up as well. "There's plenty of equipment here to choose from, I am sure there is something the two of you could use."
She the nodded towards both Kelrys and Eur'i. "I am Sister Sepherine but you may refer to me as Katherina. I believe we will be working together for quite a while."
