The checkpoint was quiet as Martin's reply came over the vox. "Negative Waycrest, the dead drop takes priority and if that checkpoint does have a proximity alarm then it might give them time to send out an alert. If you don't find the dead drop before the storm hits you might never find it. You've done good so far, but I'll handle information gathering. A daemonhost though... I'll be contacting the Inquisitor about this. Fortunetly I didn't detect any form telepathy so I don't think it contacted anyone before you slew it." There was a pause in the vox and Waycrest saw Jackson stiffen before relaxing. "I'll handle the medic by having him come to me while avoiding other soldiers. Even at this distance I can do that for a single soldier." Martin told Waycrest.

As he said it Jackson turned to Waycrest and gave the sign of the aquila before moving off without a word towards the canal surrounding the city. "Don't worry," Martin said over the vox, "in this weather the water in the channel will be frozen over enough to support his weight. This way I can get him in the city and towards where I'm parked while avoiding the checkpoint."

Kaylock's auspex failed to pick anything unusual up about the flaring, though it did detect the presence of tunnels underneath the park. Probably sewers of some sort. As the group moved on they came to the north end of the park, city hall rearing up beyond the trees. According to the map the dead drop was in an alley 2 buildings to the west of city hall itself.

Looking out into the road cautiously they saw that the street infront of city hall did indeed have sighs up blocking access at intersections on either end, but most of the road was reletively clear and empty of any people. As they watched a truck with a squad of soldiers in the back drove down the street to the east followed by a covered truck. As they passed Martin's voice came over the vox, "got some news," he said. "Might have a new ally, a medic, provided I can pick him up undetected. Bad news though, the enemy seems to be using abominations hidden among their soldiers called daemonhosts. I don't expect any of you to know what that is so I'll tell you they are horrid warp born perverions of humanity that are far worse than any xenos. There doesn't seem to be any way of differentiating them from ordinary soldiers so avoid confrontation or discovery at any costs.
