Pyriel Tsavo

During the briefing, Pyriel glances between the members of his kill-team, taking in the brothers he'd be fighting alongside from now on. The Fists had an fairly good reputation so far as he was concerned, and he wasn't familiar enough with Dark Angels successors to make a judgement on the Guardians, but the two Iron Hands and the Black Templar gave him some pause. Both chapters had exemplary combat records, of course, but he'd heard disquieting stories about the value they placed on human lives, especially the Iron Hands. Still, like it or not, he was going to be fighting alongside them for the duration of his service. Hopefully he could serve as something of a moderating influence.

He glances down at his dataslate and nods slowly at the Librarian. "Yes, the Orks are likely to be a better first target. That being said, I would like to see the situation on the ground before we make a final decision. If the Orks have the Tau at bay on the ground, it might be easier to terminate the Ethereal first. After all, if we decapitate the horde, the Tau might be able to bolster their leader's defenses once the Orks are no longer putting pressure on their lines."

----

Later, after picking up his desired equipment and spending a few hours in a sparring cage to get used to the new power sword, Pyriel heads back towards the armoury. There wasn't any time today, but in the future, he planned to work on his own equipment. To that end, he wanted to find free workshop space. While he was there, he decided to look for some way to learn the history of the armor he'd been assigned.

It had been given to him without ceremony or explanation of its history. He knew that the Deathwatch was a busy place that had better things to do than brief an Astartes on the history of a suit of armour, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there hadn't been any kind of fanfare because something was wrong with it. He couldn't put the bad feeling it gave him into words. It just felt like the suit itself was tense, like a drawn breath in the instant before a firefight. Like the suit was waiting for something. If he could find someone who knew its history or a way to look up that history, maybe he could finally shake off these illogical thoughts.

"It hardly narrows it down, but I'd wager the Big Mek would be at one of the sites where the Kannons or ships are being built. If I know Orks, it'll probably be the biggest one, but we can't count on that. Imperial forces on the ground may know more, but it'd be a pity to waste the surprise of a good combat drop. Perhaps if one of their fortifications is weak, we can hit that first and get a better picture of where he is."

Tactics (Assault Doctrine) vs 44: 13, looking for a good place to hit the Orkish fortifications in the Tirmorodan Mountains.
