Sulphus nodded with only a hint of disingenuousness. He was not content with this reply, but he

was a Space Marine in the service of the Deathwatch and he, at least, understood the demands of his

duty.

If he was honest with himself, Octavius was also not content with his answer. He did not know

where the librarian was and it worried him. There were various possibilities, and none of them were

good. Either the magnificent Ashok was dead, captured, or deliberately avoiding the duties of the

team. It was the last possibility that worried Octavius the most — it meant that either Ashok had his

own agenda separate from that of the kill-team, or that he was pursuing somebody else’s separate

agenda. Given the unusual way in which the librarian had been included in his team, Octavius’

suspicions naturally inclined towards the latter possibility.

“What is the plan, captain?” asked Atreus, turning the conversation back to the matter at hand.

In truth, he was just as uncomfortable with the tension in the chamber as the others.

The librarians of the Blood Ravens were constantly in search of clues about the unknown origins

of their mysterious Chapter, and one of the working hypotheses was that it was a hybrid of the

Blood Angels and the Raven Guard. Although the theory was no longer taken very seriously, since it

appeared to be based more on the linguistic coincidence than on sound historical evidence, Atreus

was not entirely comfortable to hear both Chapters maligned at the same time. His instincts were

defensive, and he wondered whether that in itself was significant. Very deliberately, he did not turn

his cold gaze on Sulphus.

“We need to find out where the dark eldar raiders are taking their prisoners,” replied Octavius. “I

suggest that we take the Lance of Darkness hunting. Even if we find nothing, at least it will get us

out of this cursed craftworld for a while.”
