<strong>-- Explorator Thraxius --</strong>(http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=103946.msg4515299#msg4515299)<br/><hr/><br/>Thraxius' head dipped an inch in confirmation.<em>"Indeed.  It is known to many that the Genetor and I have never seen eye-to-eye, though I would not be exaggerating if I were to insist that the same holds true for <strong>all</strong> self-respecting techpriests who eschew the weakness of the flesh."</em><br/><br/>He rumbled distastefully, as if even mentioning the doctor was a nauseating affair.<em>"It was not until we took the station over Ares that I began to draw unsettling parallels between Anthium's twisted genetic abnormalities and the stray mutants we gunned down like dogs.  It seems to me that the genetor walks a dangerous, quasi-heretical path; even among the Adeptus Mechanicus, there are lines that should never be crossed."</em><br/><br/><em>"However, it has given many years of service aboard the Aquairre, and has pull that I cannot currently hope to match.  That is why I have come to you, most esteemed Seneschal.  You are capable of making inquiries into this matter with a subtlety I lack.  I wish to see my suspicions substantiated with facts, rather than hearsay." </em><br/><br/>Thraxius cocked one eye at Baromir, looking for something in the man's face.<em>"I make this request because I trust you as both a citizen of the Imperium and as a comrade, but I do not expect you to do this without compensation.  Whatever you ask of me in return, I will endeavor to make good on my word."</em>
