The datapad was of obviously superior construction when skittering across the table.  Durable and light, there was little effort required to perform the act.  Across the surface the image did not even flicker from the abuse, instead the bar simply continuing to fill to count down their days.  Then the screen went black and did not light up once more.  Only when the question posed by Haxtus reached the air did the screen seem to activate, reflecting across the smooth surface with blue text.  A thin light of the same blue shined from the corner of the pad before a voice echoed across the walls.<br/><br/>“Transmission beginning….clearance code…Mark 1-0-3-4-8-21…”  The voice was more feminine this time but still distorted by mechanical intervention.  “Congratulations on your promotion Investigator Thebes.  Around you sit the members of your new team.  Their success and failure rests on your shoulders.”<br/><br/>The voice of a distorted man once more came across the speakers of the device.  “Currently, around the planet, small investigative units such as this one are being commissioned to assist the Adeptus Astartes.  Units composed of individuals with….unique…skill sets to assist the enforcement of the Emperor’s Law.”  Emphasis was obviously placed on the wording of unique, though the voice passed over additional commentary quickly enough.  “Utilizing such talent will be the responsibility of your commander, Cat Thebes.  This location will be the place to receive new directives from command via this datapad.  The datapad will not leave this room under pain of termination.”<br/><br/>There was silence to follow before the screen simply altered to present a flat box with the name of Thebes flashing above.  A faint outline of a thumb print could be seen inside the box.<br/>
