The Terrible Old Man

It begins.

This was the moment the Seer had been waiting for.

Though it was now when the King of Nightmares was at its most dangerous, it was also when it was at its most vulnerable as well.

Now was the time to strike.

He did not have time to search out the crew for specific people. He needed someone--anyone--to act quickly on his behalf. So he sent out his call to only a small handful of crew members. Those who, for one reason or another, were easy to reach out to in the swirling abyss of the ship's psychic landscape.

It begins, he says, I require your assistance.

"Well, we've met him...sorta," Kala murmured. "And he's here to help us with the Nightmare King, so...I guess I'm not gonna think twice about breaking him out of this place." Her pendant glowered for a moment, then, in a flash of light, she was both armored and armed with a staff.

"I could blow the door down if I was careful enough."

++Unnecessary. The door is not the problem.++

The small drone hovers down near the small control console next to the door, tapping several options before the door quite simply slides open.

Within, they can see a rather spartan-looking holding cell, once again reinforced with metal all along the walls to supplement the techno-organic material Stacy was made of.

Standing as still as a statue in the center of the room, however, was this (http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/156/terminatord.jpg). An 11' tall armored behemoth, holding in its right hand a massive halberd that stood well above even the figure itself.

The lifeless eyes of the helmet stared forward out the door at the three standing there, the figure still unmoving.

++However,++ the little drone spoke up again, ++One human and two witnesses are required to reawaken the Grandmaster from Sus-An hibernation as required by Inquisitorial and Astartes regulation.++

I think he's big enough. Kazami frowns as he stares at the armor and the weapon. Slowly, he circles it, then stands in front, stroking his chin. Luckily, those other two are here. It would be bad if they'd called for three humans and got me in the mix.

"Why does it... Nevermind." He shakes his head, stepping aside so that Jason and Kala can look if they want. "I think we're all willing to witness him reawakening. What about you two?"

"Willing and ready." Jason fingers gently stroked the hilt of his knife as he stepped up to get a better look at the thing. He shook his head and frowned. Things with excess armor always irritated. Mostly because bullets couldn't pierce the thing.

"If we stand here any longer, we're just going to be wasting time," Kala said pointedly as she frowned at the giant...thing. Thing was a good word. She didn't have anything at all when it came down to a name. Guardian, maybe.

"Let's get this over with."

++There is a panel on the right gauntlet. One of you must input the code: ALPHA-SIGMA-RHO 17835 PRIMARIS.++

++The other two must then vocally state the following: "I, [[insert name here]], hereby witness this awakening in the name of the Imperium.++

++Please decide who will take which roles.++

Kazami pauses and glances at the other two. He'd like to be up front, just in case there's some kind of trap involved, but... He's not human. Not in his mind, at least.

Finding a mental excuse, he gestures for Jason or Kala. "Go ahead. If this isn't right, I want to be in a position to move." He doubts that there's any falshood in the Seer's words, but he's spent many years hiding his existence as a remodeled human. Kazami finds no reason to stop now.
