The Wayward Son

The following day, Subengine deck

The next day, Seiras found his way towards the subengine during his nightly patrol. He was especially careful to avoid as many cameras as possible, and moved with remarkable stealth through the ship.

To his discomfort, the Astartes was not in his usual power armour and instead wore the only normal clothes he owned. It was mostly from a cargo uniform with desert camoflague colours that scout marines typically wore on Calderis. The only difference was it did not include the armoured parts. He felt strange not wearing armour, but was thankful that nobody noticed him out of it other than a few random armsmen.

He contemplated dozens of times whether or not he should go into the heretic meeting place like this, but considering what Daniella said, he knew it was the only way to make them trust him.

He already felt uneasy enough being on an Imperial Navy ship in the warp with no armour on. Now he had to go into a hive of heretics without armour and weapons too. Seiras had to keep reminding himself that he wasn't the one who was going to be doing the killing and that his job was luring them all together and uncovering their plans. In the worst case scenario, where they try to kill him, he could at least use his psyker powers. His main priority though was to find the heretic psyker who was nullifying everyone else's Psychic powers.

After about half an hour of casual walking, he finally reached the bottom engine room. Upon walking in, he noticed it was practically empty at the moment. Considering they were in the warp, he could understand why. That also explained why the heretics probably took to meeting here.

He heard footsteps as he waited around for a few minutes and eventually saw Daniella. She seemed extra excited to see him and was undoubtedly thrilled that he had no power armour on.

Seiras braced himself as she came over and hugged him. She radiated delight as she spoke softly, "You made it, good! Glad to see you in you in some regular clothes...you're surprisingly lean out of it."

"Am I?" Seiras replied as he kept his eyes on her. He could hear footsteps all around him which were no doubt people wanting a look at him or affix weapons on him in case he was trouble.

"Well, I always wondered how a space marine would look out of power armour. I saw you walking...you move so gracefully. It's really cool to see," she said excitedly.

Seiras simply nodded at her, "Well, I'm here, and I hopefully won't terrify your friends now."

"This is so exciting. Are you ready for the rite of initiation?" Daniella asked him with a grin.

"Sure...you said your mentor wanted to do it for me right?" Seiras feigned ignorance again. He was getting pretty good at it now.

'Lead the way...I pray this won't be too heretical,' Seiras thought as he kept an innocent, confused look on his face.

"Come with me...your initiation awaits," Daniella said happily.

Seiras followed her around some strange makeshift hiding places before coming upon what he could only describe as a hidden shrine room deep beneath the engine area. It was the very bottom of the ship and pretty well hidden. Seiras doubted he would have been able to find this even if he spent the last week scouring the ship for a heretic shrine. It reeked of perfumes, musty indulgence, and what Seiras could only imagine sin smelled like.

Sitting in the room praying at some type of foul altar, was what appeared to be a woman. Upon hearing them arrive, the woman turned around. She was very beautiful...almost ridiculously so, and was wearing the most revealing clothing Seiras had ever seen in his life. She looked more naked in her clothes than an actual nude person would be.

Her breasts, and womanhood were on full display with piercings around all of them. She wore thigh high boots, and high sleeve gloves with open hands. Over her navel was a Slaanesh symbol tattooed to her stomach. The rest of her "clothes" bore a striking resemblance to a naval officer's uniform...only minus the middle parts. On her back a prominent fur cloak went down to her legs. If there was any doubt that she was a Slaanesh cultist, the woman also had a necklace with the same symbol as the one Daniella wore.

As he examined her face, Seiras felt a slight shiver. She looked extremely familiar. It was only then that Seiras realized she was one of the ship's navigator that he knocked down the other day.

'A navigator is the ringleader of this cult?! Why didn't that ever cross my mind?! I even ran into her and didn't think twice about it. Holy Terra...this is not good. What was her name again? Amelia Ferraci?' Seiras thought as he stared at the woman.

Her being a navigator perfectly explained why she was able to avoid any psychic detection as navigators were able to suppress the ability of warp detection in themselves and others. Besides, even if detected, she would not be suspected of anything as she was the Navis Primaris of the ship.

He found it strange that she wasn't on the bridge or near the Navigation chamber where most navigators practically lived while on a ship. He wasn't sure how many navigators were onboard, but it would be a bad thing if they had to kill her.

'This complicates everything,' Seiras thought. He couldn't help but stare at her as he tried to figure out what to do. She looked unsurprised to see him which was very troubling in his mind.

"This is my mentor...she is one of our leaders. Her name is-" Daniella tried to introduce the woman.

"Amelia Ferraci...I remember you," Seiras interrupted.

"And you're Seiras...the rude brute that knocked me over the other day," she countered.

Daniella seemed confused, "Wait...what? You two know each other?"

"Yes, Danny...Seiras and I met on the bridge the other day. He was running around a corner and sent me flying. You still owe me an apology for that by the way..." Amelia said as she walked closer.

"I didn't think someone like you would be involved in a cult..." was all Seiras could say.

"Yes, and I never expected a space marine to take an interest in it as well...though considering how much you seem to dislike the Inquisitor, I suppose it's not that much of a stretch to imagine," Amelia replied.

"I apologize for knocking you down the other day, Lady Amelia. I was just in a hurry to get away from Inquisitor Atia. She seems to think the Adepta Sororitas are up to something and wanted to question me about what happened with Commander Silvina," Seiras explained.

"Did she now? I imagine she must have heard about how you kissed the Sister of Battle?" Amelia asked.

"Thankfully not, but Atia did seem to think the Sisterhood was investigating me for heresy," Seiras replied.

Amelia couldn't help but laugh, "Ahaha. Now I get why you were so understanding of Danny. Still, I find it interesting that you were able to win over our precious little Daniella's affection. It's a pleasant surprise,"

"Yes, well hopefully you understand my intentions then," Seiras replied.

"Oh of course, I understand completely. From what little I've seen of Inquisitor Atia, she seems like a dreadful woman," the navigator said.

"The Inquisitor is mean bitch...I sure do hate the Inquisition," Daniella added.

"Do not worry, Seiras...I accept your apology," Amelia said approvingly as she eyed him up and down rubbing a hand over her breast.

Seiras was thankfully more or less immune to her sex appeal, but he could tell that a normal man would be highly aroused looking at this woman in his position. She was remarkably beautiful in his opinion.

"I must say though, I was cautious when I first heard about you from Daniella. You're Deathwatch and you are one of the Inquisitor's Astartes...forgive me, but I initially had my doubts about whether or not we could trust you," the navigator witch explained.

Seiras nodded, "I can certainly understand why. What made you believe me if you don't mind my asking?"

"It's no secret among a few of us that you were at odds with the Inquisitor. Atia certainly doesn't like you based on the rumors and firsthand accounts that I've heard from my servants. Also considering your chapter's history of heresy recently I can see why you think the way you do. When Daniella told us more about your feelings, I began to understand why you wanted a release," the woman paused briefly. Seiras took a moment to realize that she was making a sexual suggestion with her last comment.

"You feel unhappy and trapped...and desire something better out of life. You do not like repressing all of your emotions and following orders blindly. I've never seen a space marine express feelings like that before. You even kissed an Adepta Sororita out of dominant lust. Such things are common among followers of Slaanesh. What convinced me the most of your legitimacy however, was your acceptance of Daniella despite her showing you what she is. It was brave of her to do so...but it also shows a lot of trust on her part. I never would have imagined a Space marine showing empathy to a cultist like her," the chaos witch continued.

"Well...I figured there had to be some reason why so many of my brothers fell to chaos. They embraced their own desires instead of suffering endlessly in servitude. Daniella told me that Slaanesh could fill the emptiness I feel," Seiras replied.

He was very thankful that he was a space marine librarian in this situation as it prevented her from reading his mind outright or using any type of warp power on him. Unfortunately, he couldn't read hers either, but Seiras was now positive that this woman was the ringleader of heretics on the Avenger of Terra. Part of him contemplated whether he should just kill her and the rest of them in the engine room here and now, but something in his gut told him that he was better off finding out their plans and numbers first. Not only that, but he found himself strangely captivated by the navigator. Amelia truly carried herself like royalty, and despite the fact that she was a heretic, Seiras admired her in a strange way.

"Hmm...that he can. Slaanesh takes great pleasure in nurturing those feelings in his followers. Indulging someone like you would definitely please Slaanesh...you're very beautiful for a space marine. In a cult like ours, beauty and might such as yours would be held in the highest regard. Someone like you could even be a champion of the Prince of Pleasure if you so desired. You would be a true artist among the stars," the woman said in a ridiculously seductive way.

'She seems like a different person here than when I encountered her on the bridge,' Seiras couldn't help but notice. Being in her presence now, he could detect a slight amount of warp corruption oozing out of her.

Amelia walked over to Seiras and ran her hand over his chest and stomach, "So hard...so strong. I'm truly and pleasantly suprised you actually came to us this way. You have a genuine interest in the Prince of Pleasure. It's just so...perfect,"

"Why is that?" Seiras asked.

"It's no secret that space marines hate people like us who don't always...blindly agree with the Imperium's laws. It brings me copious amounts of pleasure to know that not all Astartes are Emperor loving robots. You...are just a superhuman curious about being free from eternal suffering and duty right?" the woman asked as she lifted up his shirt with Psychic power and peeled it off of him.

Seiras had no idea how to react and gave her an uncertain look, "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, I wanted a better look at you," Amelia replied as she looked over his bare torso. She examined his large warrior physique and ran a hand over a few of the port plugs on his skin.

"You being a librarian makes your curiosity all the more delicious. Psykers are highly valued in the cults of chaos," Amelia noted as she softly carressed parts of his stomach.

Seiras maintained his bearing in a stalwart way, but could feel slight shivers go over his body from the woman's touch. Her hands were surprisingly warm and seemed to tingle against his flesh.

Daniella looked confused, "Seiras is a psyker?"

"Yes, my dear...I thought you knew that. Librarians are Space Marine Psykers," the navigator explained.

Danny blushed crimson as she turned and looked at Seiras, "I...I thought they were like historian specialists or something. Are you saying he could read my mind?!"

"I suppose he could if he wanted to," Amelia replied with a grin.

"S-Seiras...d-did you read my mind at all?" Daniella asked with a horrified and embarrassed face.

"I don't usually do things like that...reading people's minds is an Inquisitor thing to do. My Psyker powers are more combat based, and besides most people can tell when you're in their head...you would have known if I was doing it," Seiras lied.

The navigator chuckled, "It's alright, Danny...besides, we won't be sharing any secrets with each other for long. Seiras seems like he will fit in well with us."

"So your name is Amelia Ferraci and you're the main navigator for the ship right?" Seiras clarified.

"Yes, that is correct. As I mentioned the other day, I am a daughter of the great House Ferraci. I am also a chaos witch and a Pleasure Priestess of the Cult of Slaanesh. My loyal acolytes call me Princess Amelia when we're not in the company of outsiders," the dark haired beauty explained.

Seiras found himself staring again for a moment before speaking, "You certainly look like a princess."

'Wait...what did I just say?! Damn it...stop staring at her, Seiras! She's just a heretic and a woman,' Seiras thought to himself frustrated. Luckily his outer demeanor did not reflect his inner thoughts.

"Oh? You like looking at me like this? I didn't realize I was your type. It's alright, Seiras...I don't mind you staring. In fact I like it just as much as you do," she teased.

'How the hell would a Navigator have fallen to chaos like this and gone unnoticed? She must have been corrupted by the warp the last time this fleet fought the Emperor's Children eight years ago,' Seiras wondered as he stared at her.

"You can't take your eyes off me I see. Am I so beautiful that you can't avert your eyes in shame? Haha, oh Seiras...you're going to make me blush," Amelia cooed as a soft blush came upon her cheeks.

"Sorry, I'm just not used to seeing people dress like that," he replied unsure of how to word his response.

Amelia ran a hand over her bare breast, "Not used to seeing a sexy woman you mean?"

"No I'm not. So what's this about a rite of initiation? What do I have to do?" Seiras asked trying to change the subject and to avoid any more awkward staring. He was feeling a strange attraction to Amelia that he genuinely could not understand. Never in his time as a space marine had he felt attracted to a woman like this. He was convinced that it had something to do with her psyker powers, because she was not this enthralling the other day.

Amelia laughed as she ran a hand over his large muscled frame, "It varies from member to member. I like to see true indulgence to show praise and to please the Prince of Pleasure. Little Daniella here gave in to the fact that she is a whore and embraced it wholeheartedly indulging in every second of pleasure that she was initiated with. She was whipped, fucked, and then pampered like a spoiled little slut. She loved it...she feels pleasure in being used and wanted. Incredible pleasure in her moments of power that she feels when a man or woman releases their desire into her. It's beautiful depravity."

'That sounds disgusting. I knew Daniella was a whore, but seriously? Great...it's one of these kinds of pleasure cults. Why am I not surprised? What in the Emperor's name am I going to have to do then?' Seiras thought concerned. In truth he already suspected it was this type of pleasure cult given how promiscuous and forward Daniella had been. Even he knew that something was weird about a woman offering sex so freely.

"I don't feel sexual desire the way normal people do. I'm a space marine," Seiras said factually. He hoped that would be enough to deter any kind of sexual thing for him to be initiated with.

"Oh i'm aware of that. It's that hypno-indoctrination they do to Astartes. I know some Astartes don't have genitals, let me see if you do," Amelia said softly as she reached down and felt his crotch.

Her face lit up with a grin after feeling the presence of his manhood, "Oh...it looks like you're one of the ones that do. How fortunate."

"It doesn't work...like I said, I don't feel sexual attraction," Seiras stated hoping to deter this situation.

"That's what you think. Maybe you just haven't met the right girl yet. I'll bet I can help you see the light..." Amelia said as her hand began to glow a pinkish purple. Seiras had never seen a navigator use warp powers like this before and stood there uncertaintly as the woman began to carress him with her warp infused hands.

"Look into my eyes, Seiras..." the woman said seductively.

"What are you-" he asked but was silenced when she reached into his pants.

"For your initiation, you're going to do something truly indulgent and depraved. You're going to give in to your desires for me and let go. Let go of the indoctrination and mental blocks. Feel the warp enter your body...clearing away the things that sexually pacify you. Experience warmth as blood flows through your body...deeper...lower...harder," Amelia moaned.

Seiras' eyes lit up with horror as he felt something unusual. A warm surge of bloodflow filled his body and began to inflate and harden his manhood.

"What the- that's impossible!" he gasped as Amelia grasped it softly and started to stroke. He felt unfamiliar sensations overwhelm his logical mind as sexual desire filled him.

He looked at Amelia now with lustful eyes. She looked twice as desirable as before and he could not help himself from fully admiring her now.

"Oh...that's what I like to see. Even the Emperor's angels get hard for me. Oh how I love that look on your face, Seiras. Allow me to give you the greatest pleasure you'll ever experience. Your rite of initiation is to fuck me," she said in whispered breaths as she pulled down his cargo pants.

"Oooh, this will be fun. So big and hard..." Amelia moaned as she began to stroke his manhood with boths hands. She placed her mouth over the head and started sucking on it as well.

'What is this?! How did she manage to give me an erection?!' Seiras gasped in pleasure as the navigator carressed and sucked him hungrily. Seiras had no way of knowing how long she did this, because he soon felt himself relaxing in the pleasure of the moment.

"Emperor this feels..." Seiras couldn't even finish his statement as Amelia pulled her mouth off smacking.

"Amazing doesn't it? It's going to get even better here soon," she interrupted with heavy breaths.

She stood up and pushed Seiras lightly, "Lay down...I'm aching for this."

Daniella had a flushed face and started to touch herself in weird ways as Amelia gently pushed Seiras.

"Princess Amelia...can I-" Daniella tried to cut in but was silenced.

"You stay there and watch, Danny...you can have a turn once the initiation is over," the Navigator said lustfully.

Seiras felt himself fall back onto a pile of furs and other soft fabrics. Amelia crawled on top of him, "Do you want it, Seiras? Do you want me? Tell me you want me. Tell me I'm beautiful. Tell me I'm the most beautiful woman you've ever seen!"

"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," Seiras admitted aloud. He could no longer resist this heretical woman's charms as he stared into her eyes.

'I'm a damn space marine! How is this happening to me? I can't resist her...even if I could, this is the only way to get them to trust me,' Seiras thought as Amelia started to kiss him.

Daniella stared in full unfiltered envy of her mistress and mentor. She was completely jealous of how effectively Amelia seduced Seiras and could only watch as the woman basked in Seiras' desire.

'Her eyes are so beautiful. It's like I'm staring into the warp...why can't I resist this? How can she be so captivating?' Seiras thought to himself as Amelia hovered her womanhood over his erection.

"Tell me you want me, Seiras. Tell me you love this!" she gasped in painful pleasure as she lowered herself onto him.

Seiras felt uncomfortable tightness around his erect member as a fiery warmth engulfed part of it. "Ughh!" he groaned lightly as it squeezed him.

"AHH! It's incredible...so tight. Oww it hurts...I can't even move!" she gasped as she grinded her hips back and forth for a bit.

The Blood Raven felt incredible pain and pleasure as Amelia aggressively started moving up and down.

"Oh! It's stretching me out! I love it!" Amelia screamed as she began to move up and down on it and grind. Seiras felt strong surges of pleasure as Amelia finally got a rhythm going.

"How does that feel, Seiras? You like that?" she gasped between breaths as she started to pick up her pace.

"Ughhh..." Seiras grunted as he couldn't really speak properly with these unusual new sensations overwhelming his senses. He could see a light pink hue of warp energy surrounding Amelia's body and his own now.

"That's right...you do! OOOH! So deep! MMMMM! Harder! Grab my tits! Make me scream!" she begged as she leaned over placing her hands on Seiras' stomach. He began to start thrusting into her as she did so which made her squeal and shake wildly. The Blood Raven then placed his hands over her chest and groped her while doing so.

At this point he felt almost possessed by the sensations of the moment and held nothing back. This went on for Emperor knows how long. To Seiras it felt like hours, but for all he knew it could have been minutes. An intense pressure kept building up in him the longer they continued. He felt himself slipping more and more into the moment.

"Oh yeah, I'm fucking a space marine! You're going to make me...UGHHHAH! Cumming! Seiras CUM IN ME!" Amelia shouted.

Seiras felt her vaginal walls squeezing and tremoring as its wet juices practically flooded out of her lubricating his manhood even more. The unbearable pressure of his erection finally released as her walls squeezed him uncontrollably. He felt himself convulsing and spasming beneath her as she rode out her orgasm.

"Yes that's it! OOOH! Right there...mmm," Amelia moaned pleasurably as the two finished their climaxes. Seiras felt the pressure of his manhood finally go down as Amelia fell over and collasped on his chest.

He was still inside of her, and could feel a strange sticky warmth all around. He finally regained his clarity after a moment and looked at the woman incredulously, 'I just had sex with a heretic. Emperor forgive me...what the hell just happened?! Did I...enjoy that?'

Seiras could barely believe how enjoyable his first sexual experience had been with the woman and thought for a moment, 'No wonder everyone else is so obsessed with sex...that might have been the greatest thing i've ever felt.'

The navigator kissed him for about a minute before slumping over to his side. Seiras felt his manhood finally pull out and saw strange fluids oozing out of her.

Amelia rolled onto her back and laughed, "Look what you did to me...it's unheard of, but I guess space marines can have sex. Praise Slaanesh for this beautiful depravity. The Prince of Pleasure blesses us..."

"I wasn't expecting this to happen..." was all Seiras could say as he was still recovering from his disbelief.

'I...why did I lose control like that? It almost felt like I was being possessed,' he thought full of concern.

"That was amazing...hahaha, and I got to be your first too," Amelia giggled.

'What do I do now?' Seiras thought to himself.

"Princess Amelia...can I please make love to him now?!" Daniella begged desperately. She was practically naked by this point and had been masturbating to them having sex. Seiras had almost forgotten she was there until she spoke.

"Oh of course...we have ten hours until my shift. Invite whoever wants to meet our newly initiated member," Amelia giggled wickedly as she reached down to feel her dripping vagina.

Seiras looked up confused, "There's more?"

"Oh we're not done with you yet...it's Daniella's turn now," Amelia laughed.

"I don't know if I can-" Seiras stopped talking when Amelia channeled pink chaotic warp energy over him again.

He felt his manhood reharden and desire immediately return again, only stronger this time.

'What is this?! How is she doing this to me?! What kind of sick perverted power is this?' Seiras thought disturbed as the pink warp energy intensified his desire.

Daniella was already making her approach. She didn't even seem to want foreplay as she immediately straddled him.

"Now we can make love, Seiras," Daniella said eagerly.

'This is the worst mission ever. Gabriel forgive me...I bring shame to our chapter,' Seiras thought as his guilt began to grow as well.

"Can I go after Daniella?" Seiras heard another voice. He looked over to the room's entrance and noticed a congregation of onlookers.

"Of course. Fucking a space marine is a once in a lifetime opportunity...everyone come introduce yourselves to Seiras, "Amelia replied.

'What?! More of them? Don't tell me they all want to have sex with me...' Seiras thought as additional cultists came into the room. As Daniella began to have her way with him, some of the other cultists tried to massage him, feed him, rub his hair, and one even just spent the entire time licking his feet.

"Seiras! I love being your whore!" Daniella shouted lustfully.

'Emperor, I swear to you that I will ensure the deaths of every last one of these cultists...' Seiras tried to justify the sensations to himself.

Avenger of Terra, Heretic Hideout, 9 hours later

Seiras "slept" in the filthy heretic den completely filled with shame and disgust as a heap of cultists were all tangled around and on him. Daniella and some other women were on either side of him, and Amelia was on top.

They had all passed out one by one from drugs, sex, alcohol, or just plain weariness after the initiation ceremony. Seiras would be lying if he said it wasn't enjoyable in a sick, perverted, and wholly shameful way. That being said, he felt extreme guilt as he looked around at all of the depravity.

Many of the cult members present were female, but there were a few perverted males dressed as female and a variety of others passed out around him as well. The Blood Raven tried not to think about all of the unusual tabboos he committed earlier. He was thankful he couldn't fully enter R.E.M. sleep, because Emperor knows what would happen if he could actually fall asleep like a normal person around these freaks.

He took a closer look at some of the cultists and realized a lot of them were either ship crew or slaves. Daniella appeared to be the only guardsman, but judging by the nudity or semi-clothed appearances of most, he honestly couldn't tell if there were more.

The space marine looked around disbelievingly, 'I can't believe I had to do this...I'll be glad when I can kill all of these heretics. If this doesn't convince them I can be trusted then I don't know what will.'

Seiras felt a hand carress his face and looked to see Amelia staring at him happily, "You had the best initiation ever...I think everyone really enjoyed you. Welcome to the Cult of Slaanesh, my champion."

"What did you call me?" he asked shocked.

"My champion...you're just what the cult needs, Seiras. A perfect leader and protector for us," she said as she moved in to kiss him.

'Damn it...why is she so beautiful?! Is this why the Emperor tried to supress our desire? So women like her couldn't distract and manipulate us?' Seiras mentally fumed as he made out with the heretical navigator.

After breaking the kiss for air, she stared at him for a moment, "What do you think? Want to stay with us and be our leader? I could be your queen...and we could conquer, fuck, and do whatever else we wanted. I could pilot the ship, and you could lead all of our followers."

"Well, I don't know how that's going to work. We have this battle to wage once we exit the warp, and after that i'll be assigned somewhere else...assuming I survive," Seiras replied.

'I don't deserve to survive after this...' he thought briefly.

His sense of duty was returning as he remembered the main reason why he endured an orgy with Slaaneshi Cultists. He had to unravel their plans and betray them all once they told him everything. He attempted to convince himself that whatever sick things they did to stimulate him were not enjoyable. It was completely inhuman, daemonic, and warp twisted chaos that decieved him into thinking he liked it. 'I have to purify myself and kill all of these foul whores.'

"What if I told you that we wouldn't have to separate. In fact, we could join that warband of the Emperor's Children," she said suggestively.

"What do you know about that warband? I find it kind of odd that a Slaanesh cult is on a flagship for a fleet headed to fight them," Seiras noted.

She chuckled, "Oh...we're here for a reason. I have been informing their fleet about our movements for two weeks. They will be waiting for us when I guide the ship out of the warp. The admiral and the Inquisitor will have no idea what's coming."

"What do you mean?" Seiras asked.

She smiled wickedly, "The other Exterminatus fleet has no doubt been wiped out by now...me, some of my other pysker friends, and influential informants collaborated to misinform the Inquisition about the enemy's whereabouts. The chaos fleet never left Sub-Sector Hestia and awaited the Exterminatus fleet to arrive there so they could ambush and destroy them. They will have no doubt wiped them out by now and moved to intercept our fleet in Subsector Justicar. By the time Atia figures out the other fleet is gone, it'll be too late, and this one will be destroyed as well."

Seiras did his best to hide his concern as he gave a thoughtful expression, "This fleet is considerably large...the enemy fleet must be larger if they have the manpower and ships to wipe out the other Exterminatus fleet and still have time to intercept ours."

"Good observation, Seiras...the chaos fleet is three times larger than we've led the Inquisition and the Eccelisarchy to believe," Amelia bragged.

"You keep saying we. Who is all involved in this conspiracy?" Seiras asked.

Amelia grinned at his interest, "Oh...you are the curious aren't you? I have to say it's quite fortunate that you found us when you did. If you become our champion, then our mutiny and sabotage will be all the easier."

"How do you intend to sabotage the entire fleet?" Seiras wondered.

The navigator smiled wickedly, "Many of the slaves on this ship have been swayed to the will of Slaanesh. We have techpriests, gunners, and even bridge officers who are in on the mutiny."

"Didn't the Inquisition perform a purge on this fleet after the last time it encountered chaos? How could you have gotten so many through the cracks?" Seiras asked with a genuine curiosity.

"Reassignments, recruitment, and especially oversight from other psykers thanks to me in order to keep the faithful of Slaanesh hidden. I'm the only psyker cultist on this ship however...because only I can suppress the Inquisitor and her grey knights directly," Amelia explained.

Seiras nodded, "So what can I do to help?"

"MMMhmmm...oh I love how enthusiastic you are about it. Sex with me was so divine that you would even betray your own team and the Inquisitor? I must have really won you over hmm?" Amelia said with seductive, self-satisified moans.

"I can't say you're wrong," Seiras replied honestly. Amelia truly did seduce him and win over his desires for a bit. That being said, he had no intention of betraying the Imperium, even in spite of how she tricked him into enjoying this disgusting experience or finding her attractive.

"You are just infatuated with me aren't you? I'm so beautiful, loved, and special that even a Space Marine fell for me. It truly is a blessing to be this perfect," Amelia bragged with self-satisfaction.

"I'm sure it is," Seiras replied. He was not entirely sure what he was supposed to say to something like that. This Amelia woman was extremely narcissistic.

"Fuck me again, Seiras...tell me I'm beautiful. I can't get enough of you treating me like the princess that I am. I need more...more of you...I want your love too. You're going to be mine, Seiras. I'll be the only woman in the galaxy with a space marine lover," Amelia said in lust-consumed frenzy.

"I will, Princess Amelia, but we don't have much time left before you have to go take over for the other navigators. What is it that you all have planned, Who is involved, and what am I supposed to do?" Seiras asked as the woman began to grind against him.

"Aghhh...the-the Master Gunner, the techpriests on this deck, the astropaths on the flanking battleships, the Navigators on the Litany of Fire, and the Captain and master gunner of the Sword of Justice, and a lot more that I can't think of right now. Our plan is to have the Sword of Justice battleship fire on Atia's flagship during the battle. The Litany of Fire's main Navigators will then crash into it destroying its void shields. Our techpriests down here will overload the engines and destroy the gellar field generator effectively stranding them here. Then, the master gunner on this ship will fire on the other Battleships. By the time they know what's happening, the chaos fleet will break through and wipe out the Inquisitor's fleet. They'll capture the survivors and likely kill most...but the faithful such as us will be rewarded. What I need your help with is to stop the grey knights and your team from killing us. They're the only thing we're concerned about," Amelia explained the plan thoroughly as she began to stroke Seiras' cock again.

'That's all I need to know. Amelia seems distracted enough to have her guard down. I should send a psychic message to Jessenta to close in while she's preoccupied,' Seiras thought to himself as Amelia lustfully prepared herself for another round of sex.

"Jessenta! This is Seiras, I found out their plans and main leaders. i'm in the bottom deck of the engine room. There's a hidden shrine behind the deck. Hurry and get here...and be stealthy if you can. Their leader is a Navigator," Seiras sent a Psychic projection of his voice into Jessenta's head.

He was fortunate that Amelia was distracted by her lust, as she did not seem to notice his telepathy. Although Seiras couldn't help but wonder if Amelia had precognition. Surely she would see them coming wouldn't she?

'I need to overwhelm her psychic foresight with my own. This will take some subtle effort on my part,' Seiras thought.

"Mmm, Seiras, fuck me one more time before I have to go back to work. I have a three day shift and I'm going to miss you," Amelia cooed as she straddled him again.

'I guess I have to keep her busy until Jessenta gets here...Emperor I hope she doesn't walk in on this,' Seiras thought.

Half an hour passed, and finally Amelia seemed to be done. She began to clean herself up and put on her regal clothes over her slutty attire. As she was cleaning herself up, Seiras took this time to get his clothes back on. They reeked of odors that he did not want to think about.

Serias had been subtly channeling a light amount of warp energy in the hopes it would block Amelia's foresight. He knew it wouldn't take long for her to realize something was coming for her.

Amelia stopped what she was doing and looked over at the entrance to the shrine, "Oh no..."

"What?" he asked already knowing why she was concerned.

The rest of the cultists were still passed out, and nobody was ready when the sound of the door being kicked in alarmed everyone.

Standing at the entrance to the shrine room was none other than Jessenta and no less than two dozen of her Sororitas. The womens' eyes were wide with disgust and hatred.

Amelia herself looked completely caught off guard as Jessenta came in and stabbed the first cultist she saw with a power sword. The Navigator gasped and looked around with disbelief, "H-how? How did you find us?! I didn't foresee this at all!"

"You can thank Seiras for that, you mutant witch!" Jessenta replied. Seiras saw many of the other cultists waking up now, but their slight movements caused the Adepta Sororitas to open fire with their bolters. Blood coated the room as they were mercilessly slaughtered.

"Don't burn the room sisters...I want Atia to see this foul pleasure den for herself once we're done killing these heretics!" Jessenta shouted fiercely as she ripped her blade through several more cultists.

"Seiras, help us!" Amelia begged as the man stood there looking around at the cultists all dying.

The man made eye contact with her and didn't budge at all as several Sororitas came up next to him and Jessenta. They all pointed their weapons at the navigator awaiting the command to fire.

One fired a warning shot when it looked like Amelia was about to use one of her powers, "Don't even try it witch!"

The cannoness commander held up her hand, "No...let Seiras kill her. He had to endure this foul place. He deserves pennance by killing her himself."

It was only then that Amelia fully realized that Seiras had betrayed her. The woman's eyes were filled with disbelief, "I had visions of you...but not of this. H-how?"

"You underestimated us, heretic. Why do you think I sent a librarian to root you out?" Jessenta interrupted hatefully.

"So this was all a plot..." Amelia said surprised as she looked at Seiras, "I can't believe you would actually commit heresy just to discover our plans. You're a hypocrite, Seiras!"

"You cultists are delusional fools. I hope you're ready to die you traitorous, mutant bitch!" Jessenta spat.

"You can't kill me...I'm the Navis Primaris. The main navigator for the ship. Kill me and you'll regret it," Amelia said fearfully as the Sororitas all got closer.

"Do you know who her conspirators are, Seiras?" Jessenta asked looking at the Space Marine.

The man nodded, "Most of them."

"Good enough for me then. We don't need a chaos witch alive on this ship. Here, brother...take my bolter and blow this whore's head off," Jessenta said darkly with a sadistic grin.

The librarian grabbed the bolter and stared Amelia down, "As you say, commander."

Amelia then smiled after realizing she was truly doomed, "At least I got to fuck you, Seiras...kill me then Space Marine. You will never be able to forget the pleasure I gave you. No woman will ever satisfy you the way I-"

Before she could finish her statement, Seiras fired Jessenta's bolter and emptied the entire magazine from the weapon into Amelia.

As he fired the bolter, Seiras angrily yelled at her, "Die you filthy heretic!"

After it was over, the Navigator slumped over full of holes and half vaporized from the bolter barrage. Seiras felt like he had regained a piece of his soul from killing her. He walked over to her shrine and picked up what looked like his purity seal that he had given to the cultists.

"Always faithful," Seiras spoke the words on it as he walked back over to Jessenta.

As he approached, another Sororita dragged a struggling woman into the room, "We had a runner over here...a female guardsman by the looks of it. I don't know if she was involved, but she's missing most of her clothes."

"P-please, I'm innocent! They just took me hostage! I love the Emperor, please don't kill me!" Daniella began to cry in terror as she pathetically looked up at Jessenta and Seiras.

"You honestly expect me to believe that, you stupid lying bitch? I fucking saw you stalking Seiras. I saw your purple eyeliner. You were merely just a puppet...a pawn to lead Seiras here and help us clean out this nest of filthy heretics. I guess you did help the Emperor in your own pathetic way," Jessenta said as she kicked the woman in the face.

Daniella flew to the ground spitting out blood. Tears were falling uncontrollably down her face as she looked around, "Emperor protect me! I don't deserve this!"

"You do deserve this! You're the worst kind of heretic! The one that thinks she's innocent. The only difference between heresy and treachery is ignorance, and you are an ignorant little victim!" Jessenta spat.

"Seiras, I didn't want this. I just wanted you to bring me back to the light like you did before," Daniella cried as she looked at the Blood Raven.

"Put this worthless bitch out of her misery, brother," another sister said full of disgust as she handed Seiras a flamer and took the empty bolter from him.

"Seiras, why did this have to happen!? You were supposed to save me...I didn't want to stay on Meridian! I didn't want to be a whore. I didn't want to betray the emperor...I didn't want to be used! I just wanted some happiness!" Daniella cried pathetically.

The librarian felt genuine pity for her as he looked into her eyes. Unlike the others, Daniella did have remorse, and he probably could have saved her had he really cared to. Instead he left her behind the first time and used her as bait, decieving her the second time. This poor woman was going to die at the hands of the one person who ever protected her from evil.

Seiras tried not to dwell on it as he fired the flamer and burned the woman alive. The sisters of battle seemed to relax upon seeing Seiras mercilessly kill her and all watched without pity as the woman screamed until she was nothing more than a charred corpse. Some of them had almost excited looking faces at seeing a person burn alive.

After it was over, Jessenta turned to face Seiras, "I had my doubts...but you came through, Seiras. Although, something is bothering me...did you actually have sex with that navigator?"

The man looked at the white haired sister and sighed, "I did...not by choice though. She was a priestess of Slaanesh, and used some strange type of sorcery on me."

Some of the other Sororitas looked a bit menacing, but calmed down when Jessenta spoke, "Say no more brother...you did what I ordered you to do. I was half-expecting something disgusting like this. None of us here will hold that against you. We will never speak of this to anyone else. That part will be left out of my report. I'll tell them instead that you assisted me by tracking them psychically and spied on their plans."

"You will? Why?" Seiras asked shocked.

The cannoness frowned, "You've already had your honour and purity stained enough...you don't need this to tarnish it further. I trust you fully now, Seiras. You will be a vital ally in our battle against the Emperor's Children. You've proven the Adepta Sororitas and the Ordo Hereticus can depend on you to stay loyal...we won't forget that, Blood Raven."

"Thank you Commander Jessenta," Seiras replied.

"Commander...I think it's probably a bad idea to report to the inquisitor right away with brother Seiras in this condition. He should definitely clean himself up if you intend to use that cover story," another Sororita stated. Seiras recognized her as the one that had the chain sword.

"You're right, Selana...and I would prefer if his brothers did not smell the filth on him either. We will take him to our quarters and have him shower. We should clean his clothes of that filth as well. The rest of you secure this area and gather every one of those pendants that you can," Jessenta explained.

"C'mon, brother," Selana gestured for Seiras to go with her. Jessenta walked next to him as they departed.

They quickly left the engine deck and made their way towards the Sororitas' quarters. During this time, Seiras couldn't help but stare at Selana. She was definitely another one of the better looking Sororitas. She had long cropped pitch black hair, and blue eyes. Her face appeared unscarred which was unusual for a higher ranking Sororita. Seiras guessed she was probably Jessenta's second in command.

"What are you looking at, brother?" Selana asked uncertainly as she noticed Seiras' gaze.

"I was just thinking that you are a pretty woman," Seiras said truthfully. In all honesty, that was the exact reason he was looking at her. For some reason she looked a lot better than he remembered. Unfortunately, he did not understand the consequences of mentioning a Sororita's appearance to her yet.

She immediately drew her bolter and pointed it at him as they walked, "What did you say?!"

"Calm down, Selana...take it as a compliment. Nobody is around to see," Jessenta interrupted as she moved the weapon down and got between them.

The dark haired sororita stared at Seiras dangeorusly, "I've never heard of a space marine calling a sister beautiful. Those heretics perverted his mind...now he probably wants to have sex with me too."

'Is that why I was staring at her? I don't think I'm attracted to her...she's just distracting,' Seiras thought as he examined Selana briefly.

"Don't worry, I would never have sex with you..." Seiras said reassuringly as he looked away.

Selana got a bit flustered, "Is that right? Even with cult perversion I'm still apparently undesirable? Well I would never let you...just so we're clear."

"Fine by me," Seiras said carelessly as they continued.

Selana went silent for a moment as she looked at Seiras, "So...Jessenta told us everything that happened. About how you two kissed. Are you attracted to Sororitas now, brother Seiras?"

"I'm not attracted to anything," Seiras said shaking his head.

"Keep it that way then, because we're not attracted to you," Selana replied.

'Am I seriously having a conversation like this with Adepta Sororitas?' Seiras thought bewildered.

The walk back with the two sisters was thankfully met with no other ship crew or personnel. There was also a surprising lack of cameras as well. Seiras wasn't sure if it was by sheer luck or planning on Jessenta's part that this happened. Upon arriving at the Sororita's quarters, Jessenta led Seiras to what was presumably some type of hygiene area with a shower and everything one would want or need.

"Give Selana your clothes, brother...she will clean them for you and get rid of the smell," Jessenta ordered.

"What?! I will? I'm nobody's laundry maid," Selana protested.

"This was your idea, Selana..." Jessenta sighed.

She shook her head, "I'm not cleaning anyone's clothes like some housewife!"

"Then I'll do it and you can keep an eye on Seiras here," Jessenta replied with a slight grin.

The dark haired sister looked flustered, "Give me your clothes, brother..."

Seiras did as ordered and took off his clothing. He handed his clothes to Selana who seemed more than a little shy at being around him naked.

"You done staring, Selana? Go clean those," Jessenta snickered as the other sister began to leave.

"I wasn't staring...he's the one who was staring at me!" she said aggressively.

Seiras was ironically not even looking at her as he tried to figure out how the showers in the Sororitas' quarters worked. He finally got it going and stepped in.

As he was showering, Jessenta looked at Selana, "What is it?"

"Should we be concerned about this, Commander? I mean...we don't know how perverted those cultists made him. He did have sex with the navigator and Emperor knows who else back there," Selana said as she watched Seiras shower from the doorway.

"Why does that concern you? Are you afraid of him? Or is there another reason why your mind is in the gutter?" Jessenta asked slyly.

The other sister sneered as she shook her head and began to leave, "Pfft...yeah right. He's a Space Marine, and a damn weird one at that. He's not even attractive, and I'm not interested in that sort of depraved thing anyways. I just can't believe you made him do all those heretical things..."

"He came through for us...we can trust him," Jessenta said reassuringly as Selana left.

"I wouldn't want to be alone with him..." Selana said shaking her head.

Jessenta simply shook her head, "Well luckily you don't have to be...go get those clothes cleaned."

"Of course Commander," Selana said begrudgingly as she left.

After she left, Jessenta closed the door. Seiras casually glanced at the white haired Sororita as she walked over to where he was showering.

"Thanks for showing up quickly, commander...I'm glad this infiltration was quick and subtle. It could have been a lot worse. Although, your other sister there seems a bit concerned about what I had to do. Is she going to be a problem?" Seiras asked as he scrubbed filth off of his body.

"Don't mind, Selana...she's just shy around men she can't kill or emasculate...which isn't many. She probably likes you and thinks that you are attracted to her," Jessenta sighed.

"Didn't I just meet her? Why would she like me? I though sisters had iron wills and never cared for such things?" Seiras asked shaking his head.

The sister shrugged, "Well she was more than a little curious when I told her I kissed you to set up this plot. Your staring at her and calling her pretty might have made her nervous. Most Sororitas are celibate you know...so knowing there's a man like you around that can make her feel like a normal woman is probably something she isn't used to."

Seiras looked completely lost at her explanation, "Ummm...right. So what about you? Are you celibate?"

"Why do you want to know that?" Jessenta asked.

The Blood Raven shrugged, "Well you seem more understanding about this situation than I would expect from a Sororita. I thought all of you were celibate."

"I have only ever had sex with women...mostly other sisters and sometimes rich noblewomen. I've never met a man who I'd consider it with," She trailed off.

Seiras nodded, "I see...I didn't even know women could feel attraction to other women like that."

"Some feel that way more so than others. In my case, It's mostly just to sate my urges...sex with men would complicate things as I tend to expect different things from them. We can't have relationships and children and they would get in the way of our duty. Any man typically worth having would want a family, and I couldn't betray someone's hope by choosing my faith and duty over them. Only someone like me could ever work out. Which is typically why it's other militant sisters," she replied.

"So you choose to like women?" Seiras asked as he began to scrub the rest of the grime on his body off.

"Yes and no...I like both men and women, but I only have sex with women because it is easier for me," Jessenta sighed, "Unlike you space marines, we don't have our sex drives chemically and hypnotically repressed...or whatever they do to you. We sisters have to willfully resist temptation that comes between us and our faith to the Emperor."

The Blood Raven sighed, "I think I understand what you're talking about now, because I never really noticed how beautiful so many women were...especially you and that other sister. Having my sex drive turned back on made me feel different about everything."

"Different how?" Jessenta asked.

The man looked at her for a moment, "Well I mean...you just look different to me now. I can admire you in a way I couldn't before. It sounds stupid I know, but I finally understand a bit more about how normal people feel."

"Seiras...don't," Jessenta warned him.

"Don't what?" he asked genuinely confused.

"You know what you're doing! Don't tempt me..." she hissed.

The Space Marine gave her a curious look, "Tempt you with what?"

"You're butt naked in our shower having a conversation with me about sex and you're...hard. What do you think is going through my head right now?" Jessenta blushed looking away.

Seiras looked down confused, "What the...why am I-"

"I can't believe this. You're sexually attracted to me. Damn it, this is a problem." The white haired beauty stated as she looked at him again.

"I am?" Seiras said not really sure how to respond.

Jessenta looked like she was pacing around and trying to decide what to do about the situation. Finally she shook her head, "We might as well just get it over with...I don't want weird tension between us, and it's going to be awkward until we do it. Besides...nobody else is around."

Seiras watched her disbelievingly as she quickly began to strip off her power armour and clothes.

"What are you doing? Why are you taking your armour and clothes off?" Seiras asked. He had an idea why, but he did not want to be the one to say it aloud. He could hardly believe it was actually happening.

"To have sex...what else? If Selana walks in and sees you like that she's going to try and kill you. Besides...we've already kissed, and there's already secrets between us. I'll do it this one time...and we will never again speak of it. Understand?" Jessenta demanded.

"Wait...this is kind of sudden. What gave you the impression that we had to do this," Seiras said as the now naked Sororita got into the shower with him.

"It's your fault for getting aroused in front of me. That cult stuff did pervert you..." she said as she eyed him up and down.

'I'm not so sure I'm the perverted one here...aren't sisters supposed to be super vigilant and resistant to temptation?' Seiras thought disbelievingly..

"So how does it work?" she asked him.

"What sex? I don't know...you've done it more than I have apparently," Seiras replied.

"With women! I don't know what to do with...that," she said uncertainly as she grabbed his cock.

The Blood Raven shook his head, "Well I don't know either..."

"What did those cultist whores do?" she asked.

"Well...they sucked on it and pumped it with their hands and then rode it. Some of the others did weirder things that I would prefer never to speak of again..." Seiras trailed off shamefully.

The Sororita bent over and followed the advice. She started to lick and suck the head as she stroked the shaft. She did it for about a minute and looked up at him.

"Is this right?" she asked.

"Yes," Seiras nodded leaning his head back.

The longer it went on, the more comfortable they both seemed to be getting with it. Jessenta could feel herself getting wet from this carnal activity and finally stood up fully, "You think you can fit that thing inside of me? I'm technically a virgin you know..."

"I could try...I'm not entirely sure how it works yet," Seiras replied.

She laughed, "This isn't how I imagined my first time with a man."

"I mean if you don't want to do this, we don't have to. This seems wrong to me," Seiras trailed off.

"I'm already giving you a blowjob in the shower...why stop now? Just shut up and fuck me, Seiras...Emperor knows how badly this is going to hurt," she said.

Seiras picked Jessenta up by her legs and spread them as far as they could go.

"Be gentle...you could seriously hurt me if you're too rough," she said

"Okay..." he replied as he attempted to enter her. She grimaced in pain as he slowly pushed in. Luckily her hymen had long since deteriorated from her athletic lifestyle, but being it was her first time with a man, and a space marine at that, she was tighter than Seiras was expecting.

"S-Seiras stop...that hurts! You're going to tear something. Just let me do it slowly. Sit down," the woman said. Seiras pulled out and sat down as she instructed. The water was still hitting them both as she slowly lowered herself.

She took thorough time stretching herself out as she managed to go lower every couple tries. Finally she seemed to be comfortable with her position as she began to move faster. Seiras thought the other women were tight, but Jessenta's pussy squeezed him painfully hard as she forced herself to endure the experience.

Neither one of them felt good from the act for a while, but their pain was soon replaced with pleasure as their bodies finally adjusted. "Oh...Seiras this is amazing," Jessenta said as she began to ride him harder and faster.

"Unexpected more like...I can't believe this is actually happening. This feels like heresy...and fraternization for having sex with a Sororita on a mission," the Blood Raven replied.

"You're an Adeptus Astartes, and I'm an Adepta Sororita...how can two children of the Emperor be committing heresy when they're only bonding with each other? UHHH right there! Yeah! OOOH! This isn't wrong...we're both loyal and faithful to the Imperium. Besides...if it is wrong, it's your fault," Jessenta said between gasps and moans.

"UGh...my fault? How is this my fault? You're the one who suggested this and got naked with me," he replied.

"Then maybe next time you won't get an erection when talking to me. I'm doing this so Selana doesn't have to see that hard manhood of yours," she replied as she leaned closer to him picking up speed.

"What's she going to say if she walks in on this? Your logic is hardly valid." Seiras grunted.

"I told you not to tempt me Seiras...it's bad enough I kissed you, but now we're having sex? You should have been responsible and turned me down...now I know your mind has been perverted. OOOH! You're such a bad space marine. You're probably a heretic too! A perverted heretic!" she retorted between heavy breaths and soft moans as she bounced and grinded up and down.

"You're the perverted one...what kind of a Sororita orders a librarian to have an orgy with Slaaneshi cultists and then try to seduce him afterwards? You're not a proper sister," Seiras countered as Jessenta began to pick up her speed.

"Just shut up and kiss me, Seiras...don't ruin the moment," the Sororita replied blissfully.

Seiras pulled her face in to makeout as she continued to enjoy herself. She yelped in surprise when he started thrusting into her while doing so. He remembered doing this exact thing to Amelia.

"OH EMPEROR! Seiras, stop that, you're going to tear me apart...UGHHH! AHHHHH Right there! Right there! Yes! Yes! AHHH, fuck me like those heretic whores! Is this how you screwed that witch slut? No wonder she told you everything!" Jessenta moaned as she broke their makeout session to speak.

"Why does this feel so good?" he asked between grunted breaths as he felt the pressure building up in him again.

"Oh no, I...I'm going to explode! OOOOH! YEAH mmmm!" Jessenta practically squealed as she hit her climax.

She felt Seiras convulsing beneath her and started to scream, "AHHHHHHH!"

After both of them finished riding out their orgasms, Seiras and Jessenta looked in each other's eyes for a moment almost disbelievingly.

"Did I really just have sex with a Space Marine?" She asked staring at the man.

"Did I really just have sex with a Sister of Battle?" he countered.

She stared at him, "I can't believe you actually seduced me..."

"It feels like you're the one who did the seducing," Seiras replied. It was obvious to him that Jessenta was projecting the blame so that she didn't have to accept that she was responsible for the situation.

"Maybe...I don't know what came over me," Jessenta said distantly.

"Well luckily it was just a one time thing. I'll never speak of it to anyone, Commander Jessenta," Seiras replied.

"One time thing? I don't think so, Seiras. You just took my virginity. Now you're going to take responsibility for this and help me sate my urges," Jessenta said glaring at him.

The librarian shook his head, "Are you serious? I...we can't do that."

"Yes we can...after ruining my purity you don't have a choice," she replied.

Seiras didn't seem convinced, "You don't think there's anything wrong with this?"

"Of course it's wrong In the grand scheme of things. Something like this would be bad for both of us to do with a regular person. However, it's not as bad if it's between a Space Marine and a Sister. An Astartes and a Sororita can't corrupt each other's faith...and I don't have to restrain myself if I can just fuck you," She explained. All of a sudden she appeared less guilty about the situation.

Just then, the door to the bathroom opened, and none other than Selana returned. She walked over to the shower, "Commander, where are you? I cleaned brother Seiras' foul clothes. They should be...WHAT IS THIS?!"

Selana dropped the clothes she was carrying and instantly drew her bolter pointing it at the two of them, "So, your urges finally got the better of you and you decided to rape the commander?! Get ready to die, space marine!"

"Stop it, Selana! He didn't rape me, so put that down," Jessenta commanded as she and Seiras looked at the newcomer surprised.

"C-Commander?! D-did you seriously have sex with him? I leave for half an hour and you do this?! What would the Prioress say if she saw you in this state?! What would you say to her?" Selana gawked.

"Space Marines are technically related to the Emperor...so I would say it wasn't wrong," Jessenta replied.

Selana gawked at her and Seiras, "This is NOT okay! For the love of the Emperor just...make yourselves presentable!"

Jessenta got off of Seiras and stumbled slightly as she walked over to get a towel.

"Commander you're not walking normally...did he hurt you!?" Selana asked concerned.

"Oh yeah he hurt me alright...but i'll get used to it," she giggled in amusement as she handed Seiras two towels to dry off with.

Selana shook her head, "What?! Commander get a hold of yourself! This is unbecoming of a Sororita! You can't just...just...have sex with a space marine! How did this even happen?"

"Even I am still trying to figure that out," Seiras added shaking his head, "she got naked and got into the shower with me after I got hard. Said it was probably best if we got it over with so there wouldn't be awkward tension between us...whatever that means."

"Awkward tension? Commander you're attracted to him?!" Selana half-demanded.

The long white haired commander laughed, "Yeah I am...what of it?"

"What's wrong with you?! For someone who's experienced in resisting temptation, you certainly didn't even try to restrain yourself here...you sent me away on purpose didn't you?!" Selana demanded.

"Yeah I did. Would you have preferred to take my place?" Jessenta replied with a smug grin.

Seiras was genuinely surprised by Jessenta's current attitude. Having sex must have put her in a good mood, because this was the first time he had ever seen her laughing and smiling.

"What did you do to her?!" Selana gawked as she looked at Seiras disbelievingly.

The man shook his head, "I don't know...this is all new to me."

"B-brother...aren't there rules in the Codex Astartes about this kind of thing?! You...you can't just have sex with a Sororita! That's immoral depravity! You could get in serious trouble with the Inquisition for something like this!" Selana shouted.

"Maybe it is a bit indecent...but I enjoyed it. It's good to get rid of pent up desires before fighting daemons anyways. Perhaps you should get laid, Selana. I'm sure one of the sisters or Seiras here could help you," Jessenta said as she started putting her clothes and armour back on.

"Not in a million years! You should not have taken advantage of him after that experience he had to go through. You two having sex is only going to breed bad behavior," Selana sighed.

"Poor choice of words," Jessenta laughed.

The dark haired Sororita looked at Seiras flushed, "Take your clothes and get out of here. I think you've fucked enough women for one day wouldn't you say?"

"Thank you, Sister Selana," Seiras said as he took them and got dressed.

"Don't get any ideas about me, Seiras! Unlike the Commander here, I'm pure and I take my vows of faith seriously," Selana said strongly as she walked out of the bathroom.

Jessenta shook her head and sighed, "We probably shouldn't have done this...but since we already have, we might as well just go with it now. Let's go see the Inquisitor now that you're halfway presentable."

Atia's Quarters Avenger of Terra

As Seiras, Selana, and Jessenta approached the bridge, they came to Atia's quarters. Seiras had been dreading the trip the entire time as he vividly remembered his last experience with Atia. Two Stormtroopers were standing outside of her door and looked alarmed by the approaching visitors.

Before they could even say anything, Jessenta spoke, "We have business with Inquisitor Atia...regarding heretics."

"I'll call her," one of the Stormtroopers said as he contacted her through vox.

Several moments passed before the door to Atia's quarters opened, and the woman came out in sleeping attire which only consisted of a shirt and underwear. Her grogginess immediately dissipated when she saw Jessenta and Seiras both there.

"Seiras? Commander Silvina? What is it?" Atia asked seriously.

The Cannoness Commander handed her the Slaaneshi Cult necklaces that Amelia and Daniella had both worn, "There was a heretic nest onboard this ship. A Slaaneshi Cult. With Seiras' help we managed to track them down and wipe them out. My Sororitas are securing the area currently."

Atia's eyes went wide with shock, "What?! Are you sure?! I would have noticed something like that! My Grey Knights would have-"

"Their leader was one of the ship's Navigators...a woman by the name of Amelia Ferraci. She was also a chaos witch and had been actively suppressing psychic detection. I learned of her plans to sabotage the fleet and a bit more about the threat we're facing..." Seiras interjected.

"Seiras? You're telling me you two worked together and uprooted a heretic nest without my knowing? Nevermind the details...I expect them in a proper report later. Who is all involved?" Atia asked seriously.

"On this ship: the master gunner, the majority of the subengine techpriests, some of the slaves, the gunner crew, and the Navigator Amelia Ferraci who was the ringleader. On the Sword of Justice, the Captain, master gunner, and the gunner crew. On the Litany of Fire, the Navigators. We also have evidence to suggest that many of the astropaths and navigators were tainted from eight years ago and slipped through the cracks with the Inquisition," Seiras told her with perfect clarity.

Atia frowned, "That is bad...we can't exactly kill our navigators mid warp-travel. What did you learn of the enemy then? They were in league with the Emperor's Children I assume?"

"Yes they were," Seiras nodded, "We learned that the fleet is three times larger than what our intel has led us to believe, and that the other Exterimatus Fleet was wiped out. The enemy was apparently waiting for them, and they already know we're on the way to Sub-Sector Justicar," Seiras elaborated.

Atia looked over at Jessenta, "Is that the reason the Ecclesiarchy sent you?! How did you two uncover this plot? I need to see this nest for myself!"

"I asked Seiras to investigate some suspicious people with his psychic powers for signs of chaos corruption because I suspected they had a psyker for a leader. I imagine the Grey Knights could have done it just the same, but they are too noticeable and would frighten the heretics away. Seiras followed one of my leads to their hideout beneath the subengine room and overheard of their plans to sabotage the fleet. He called for me to come back him up and we wiped them all out. At least most of the ones that were there," Jessenta answered calmly.

The Inquisitor seemed to relax slightly, "I will go investigate it shortly. I...I am shocked that this slipped past my vigilance. You have my thanks for bringing this issue to light. I will contact all of the appropriate channels and have these known traitors wiped out. Anyone remotely suspicious will be interrogated. For now, we will have to have armed guards watching all of our Astropaths and navigators to ensure they do not do anything."

"Very well, Inquisitor...if you need any help in rooting out remaining heretics, we will assist you as necessary," Jessenta replied.

Atia looked at Seiras curiously, "Why are you wearing clothes, Seiras? I am surprised you're out of power armour despite there being heretics aboard."

"I had to be stealthy," the librarian replied, "Power armour is too noisy and noticeable."

"Commander I will meet you down in the subengine room shortly. Allow me a few minutes to speak with Seiras...alone," Atia said as she gestured for the Blood Raven to enter her room.

Seiras immediately felt a sense of dread wash over him getting invited back into Atia's Quarters.

Jessenta traded a confused look with the silent Selana over the matter, but the two left after the doors closed. As he walked inside, Atia gestured for Seiras to sit down at one of her nearby couches.

After sitting down, Seiras looked at the Inquisitor curiously. She briefly made eye contact and sighed, "I'm sure there's more to the story than Commander Bolter Bitch has told me. Would you like to tell me what actually happened? Off the record...I'm not going to hold it against you. What you did may very well have saved all of our lives."

"I had to infiltrate the cult. There was this guardsmen girl who claimed to know me from Meridian and said I saved her. Commander Jessenta believed she was a heretic and told me to play along with her until we uncovered them," Seiras told her the truth.

"So that's what the Commander wanted to talk to you about then? Well...you did uncover their purpose here at least. Although, you say you infiltrated the cult? Did you commit any heresy to earn their trust?" Atia asked seriously.

Seiras nodded with a straight face, "Yes..."

"I'm amazed you're so honest about it. Even more so because you just contradicted the cover story the commander gave for you. Nevertheless, I appreciate your honesty, Seiras...it's the only thing that assures me of your loyalty to the Inquisition. While normally I would detest such a dangeorus venture, it thankfully worked out in this instance. For all the things you do wrong, Seiras, at least I can count on you not lying to me. I will grant you amnesty for that reason alone."

The Blood Raven seemed shocked by her mercy in this situation. She seemed to notice his surprised reaction and scoffed, "What's with that look? You thought I was going to execute you or something? The Inquisition is extreme, I know, but even I'm not that blind. If it wasn't for your actions, we could have suffered a terrible fate in the battle to come. We may yet still, but at least we'll be more prepared now."

Seiras nodded and said nothing as he stared at the Inquisitor for a moment. Atia's appearance was something he never even gave a second thought to before. She had long black hair, hazel eyes, and olive coloured skin. Her face was aesthetically pleasing, but being a psyker, she also had her fair share of modified cybernetic attachments. She was very pretty in his opinion. Maybe not as much as Amelia or Jessenta, but definitely quite attractive in his eyes.

Atia noticed his staring and looked at him curiously, "What?"

"It's nothing, Inquisitor," he replied.

"It's clearly something...are you checking me out?" she asked with a serious expression as she looked down to notice she was in her sleeping attire.

"No," he stated simply.

"Oh I know what it is...you want your kiss for finding out why the sororitas are here. Come here, Seiras..." Atia said as she walked over towards him.

"A deal's a deal...pucker up," Atia said as she leaned over him on the couch.

Seiras could barely believe Atia was actually serious about doing it as she sat on his lap and grabbed his face.

She planted a juicy kiss on his lips as she put her hands behind his head. It was an uncomfortably long kiss, and it was wet.

After it was over she got off of him and sat next to the man on the couch, "You taste weird..."

"How so?" he asked.

"Like another woman..." was all she said in response as she glanced up at him.

He had no clue how to respond to her remark and simply stared at her.

She shook her head and laughed, "It was the Commander wasn't it? You weren't joking the other day were you? I guess that explains why she was willing to lie for you. I swear you must be blessed by the Emperor himself to seduce a Sister of Battle, haha."

"Sorry to change the subject, Inquisitor, but don't you have to deal with the heretic situation? You don't seem to be in a hurry," the man noted.

Atia put a hand over her eyes and sighed, "Yeah, I do need to deal with that. They're not going anywhere though, so I can spare a few minutes talking to you."

"Of course," Seiras replied as he sat there unsure of what to do now. He watched as Atia turned to face him with a curious expression.

"I've got a question for you, Seiras...if you could have anything in the galaxy that you wanted, what would it be?" Atia wondered.

Seiras thought long and hard on her question for a moment. It was certainly a bizarre concept he had never thought of before. Finally after an awkward silence, he answered, "The knowledge and power to defeat every enemy...the praise of the Emperor...and the truth about my Primarch."

"I knew it...most space marines don't want personal things like that for themselves. You do, however. You're dangerously close to being a heretic. Just remember, Seiras...small steps corrupt. Never let your vanity and desires outweigh your duty and faith lest you end up like the chaos space marines. I would hate to see that happen as I'm actually starting to like you now," Atia said softly as she got up and began to get dressed.

She bent over in front of Seiras as she went to pick up her boots, and much to his annoyance, Seiras couldn't help but look. Atia obviously did it on purpose to see if he would react. She seemed surprised by his response and simply turned to him with an amused look, "You curious about me, Seiras?"

"No...I am not, Inquisitor. I'll meet you down in the subengine with the Sororitas," Seiras said immediately standing up and heading for the door and hoping to get away before something terrible happened again.

"Of course...I'll meet you there," she replied as the Space Marine exited her quarters.

After he was gone, Atia walked over to a nearby Servo skull that typically recorded her room, and replayed the scene from moments earlier. She watched it curiously as she bent over and the Blood Raven turned to admire her ass. She focused on his expression which seemed more than a little curious.

'He was definitely checking me out...I've never seen a space marine interested in women like that. Is he actually attracted to me sexually? This might actually be worth investigating whenever the cultists are put down.' she thought curiously as she paused the recording over his face.
