We brought all the items we scavenged to get them purified. There is no use of wielding tainted weapons to rid the world of the taint. I personally made sure there would be sent a priest to the Downpour district to fill in the vacancy left by the death of father Leganus. Our wounds are healing fine. I'm sure, the wounds we made on the city will heal as well over time. We can leave here knowing that we left the hive a better and safer place than when we arrived.
Asking around about that Kulrak character, Victus quickly found out, among some of the more senior population, that brother Kulrak is some kind of a genius that preaches among the gangers. He lives in one of the gang territories. So we went first to the only gang that we already had some "friendly" encounter with, the Freebooters. For sure they were not happy to see us. We had been making a little bit too much ruckus down here in this area. The goons we were talking to seemed to have never heard about this brother Kulrak. So we urged to talk to their boss. After some negotiating we were brought before Johnny "The Boss".
Although we were victorious in the combat with those gangers of the Brotherhood Of The Knife, they also had managed to land some good blows and hits and some of us were in a pretty bad shape. We scavenged whatever useful stuff we could find on the bodies of the killed gangers before we burned them and made our way back to our residence. I'm not feeling confident walking around with those tainted items we picked up. First chance we have, we should have them purified.
I promised to lecture after father Leganus was killed, so I went back to the church today for the sermon. Ragaa came along and by the looks on his face he really liked the sermon. After that, we decided to scout out the place of the meeting before the actual time so we would at least have a safe route for approach and retreat we already knew before we actually would go to this "meeting".
The days are boring. I arrived here on Scintilla with high expectations. A little study and then finally the chance to really prove my skills and rise in the ranks of the Sisterhood. Working for the inquisitor would surely be challenging task but the way it looks now, even the most uninteresting mission I've done with Halina were a thousand times better. Our training is complete and the inquisitor will come to Scintilla somewhere between tomorrow and three months. I'd rather it'd be yesterday! Anyway, we will be ready and prepared for our task.
It saddened me that I was sent away. After all, Sister Halina was the one who brought me into the Ordor Adepta Sororitas and had been my mentor from the beginning. It was hard for me to even think about my life before I joined the Sisterhood. Not that I forgot about my parents and siblings. No, I had even visited them on rare occasions, but for more than three quarters of my life, I'd been under the care of Sister Halina. The order I received was clear though and sure enough, after a few days I could board the "Punisher Claw", an Imperial class Cruiser set for the Calixis sector.
