	No sooner had the last hammock been pitched, did Tarzan leave the confines of the settlement to go and look for the one who looked like him. He had told Terk to say that he was scouting the area if anyone asked where he had left to. It was true, in a way. He just left out exactly what he was scouting for. Pausing only to take his spear in case the Lepris had returned, he set out into the jungle.

	At long last, after noticing the attention of the Inquisition, several forge worlds had sent the needed ships and forces to properly excavate the Greystoke. Several of the planet's inhabitants had attempted to stop the intruders from making off with the sacred artifact, but they were no match for the masses of skitarii. They mourned for a season, but soon life returned to normal on Tublat.

	That was, of course, before the ships arrived. The Imperium of Man had processed the reports of the planet and learned of the sentient beings that populated it, as well as their crimes against humans. The sterilization fleet took great pleasure in their work. The forests burned, the seas evaporated and the population of Tublat learnt just how seriously human took their oaths of vengeance.

	Chaos. The battle cry of those sworn to the Khorne, the Chaos God of violence and murder was unmistakable, even in its mangled state. Somehow, the gods of Chaos had learned of this bounty, and had come to rob the Imperium of it. Or perhaps the Emperor had seen fit to send His forces to rob the Chaos of what would otherwise had been their prize. It was of no matter, the Imperials could not retreat at this point.		''Chaos.''

Or perhaps the Emperor had seen fit to send His forces to rob the Chaos of what would otherwise had been their prize. It was of no matter, the Imperials could not retreat at this point.

	Shouting orders, the Imperials rearranged their formations. Standing at the forefront were the remaining servitors, while flanking them were sisters armed with flamers. Behind them, the stormtroopers were arranged, and the remainder of the sisters formed a solid core, which included Tarzan and Callen. Although he may not have acted like it sometimes, he was still an Inquisitor, and with it came certain expectations and responsibilities. The techpriests were at the back; they would not be able to contribute much to the fight beyond coordinating and empowering the servitors.		Shouting orders, the Imperials rearranged their formations.

	It could best be described as a horde. It seemed that all of the forces that they had expected to find had instead decided to congregate here. There was no rhyme or reason to the formations of the chaos beastmen, for them it merely sufficed to howl at the enemy and thirst for blood. Many of them were armed with crude weapons,but others relied on their natural gifts. At the center of the great mob stood a giant of their kind, no doubt blessed by their foul patron. It held a battleaxe of hewn rock, and even from across the field, they could feel the malice in its eyes and the stench of its breath. But the Imperials were also invigorated by what they saw, for behind all the foul chaos tainted things loomed the unmistakable profile of a great ship.		It could best be described as a horde.

	The two forces sized their opponents up for what seemed like an eternity, although it could not possible have been longer than a few minutes. Neither side showed weakness, and ultimately, would not show mercy either.

	Giving a sigh of relief upon realizing that would not have to watch as a potential ally was killed, Janna took his hand and led him deeper into the camp. The other sisters kept their weapons trained on him, but many of them returned to their duties as sentries. A small guard followed Sister Janna in case the man tried anything, but otherwise did not do anything else.

A small guard followed Sister Janna in case the man tried anything, but otherwise did not do anything else.

	With a small shrug the Inquisitor returned to his temporary dwelling. There was nothing that he could do that the sisters could not, so he might as well wait for the Dialogous to arrive.The Magos, on the other hand, followed the procession with no small amount of excitement, here was a research subject worth experimenting on.

	As he was led through the camp, Tarzan could not shake the thought of how soft the person's hand was, and how his fit into it so easily. It was nice, and there was something comforting about not being the smallest one in the vicinity aside from the infants, as had often been the case throughout his upbringing.

It was ''nice'', and there was something comforting about not being the smallest one in the vicinity aside from the infants, as had often been the case throughout his upbringing.

	He was eventually led into (what seemed to him) an unusual cave by the familiar one. The walls seemed unnatural, and the cave was very small, but the one leading him sat down on a very rigid formation, and motioned for him to follow suit. He acquiesced; he was here to learn more about them, and this seemed like the best way to avoid any more of the unpleasantness that he had experienced beforehand. Resting his spear along a wall to show he meant no harm, he put his mind to work on how to get over the language barrier. He was no stranger to learning the languages of the other races of the forest, but it was a time consuming process, and generally there was at least one other being that had already mastered it. Now, however, he had neither of those luxuries. This was going to be a problem indeed...		He was eventually led into (what seemed to him) an unusual cave by the familiar one.

	The toothed, winged insect inside chittered at him, and hurriedly Callen pushed the hand away from his face. "I'll have to look at it some other time. I must see to my... inquisitorial duties and whatnot. No time to chat!" As he walked away from the magos (was the thing smiling? No that was anatomically impossible ), he swore at the day that had seen him saddled with the only magos that delighted in going on jungle "excursions" for no other reason than to collect samples of the flora and fauna. What was even worse was that he only communicated in binary and that damn assistant had to translate it every time. He half suspected it was done simply to upset him.

	As he looked around for something to do, he saw that the contingent of Battle Sisters had returned from looking for their sister. To his surprise, rather than come back with a piece of armor to bury, the lost sister was included in the retinue. That was a small piece of good luck, one more asset to find the ''Greystoke''.

	The shelled figure dropped the tube, and instead lunged for him with a knife, although it was bigger and shinier than any that he was used to. He sprung backwards, out of reach, and noticed that more of the shelled ones were approaching. They were holding similar tubes in many of their hands, and were shouting in a strange language. By this time, the one that he had appeared in front of him had recovered their tube, and was pointing at him once more. As they surrounded him, Tarzan was forced to admit to himself that this might not have been the best idea.

She had disrobed to receive scourging for her failure to maintain position, but this new threat superseded any such punishment.

	Nodding gravely at this, Portia quickly came to a decision. "Sisters, we are returning to the base camp. Janna, you will report what you found to the Magi and the Inquisitor while the rest of us secure the perimeter." Janna nodded, "And then you will come to receive penance. You broke away from the rest of us, not only putting yourself in danger but also weakening the formation as a whole." Once again, Janna nodded to this, but quite a bit slower.

Tarzan should have done the same, but he could not put the person that he saw out of his mind. I will find you, he promised himself, as he trudged along with the others, slipping across the jungle floor.
