Kaylock, Shoto, and Bando continued to make their way through the park, soon finding the north path. In the intrest of secrecy they decided to travel along it rather than on it, though they couldn't see anyone on it. Within a few minutes they could see the road on the north side of the park. They also noticed something strange about the path. Though it had been straight and even all the way, at one point it flared out before slanting back till it reached the normal width again. The parts of the path that flared out looked to be new and there didn't seem to be any real point to it flaring out in the first place.

After a pause, during which Jackson seemed to be thinking hard, Martin came over the vox. "The one you're interrogating might be useful to keep around if he really is a field medic. If you can get enough out of him, it might not be nessessary to interrogate the others within the checkpoint and you can just avoid it. The other soldier, this Basil, do with as you like. If you do kill him, the way the snow's coming down he'll be covered soon enough." There was another pause. "I'm going to try and search this medic's mind to see if there is any taint. I'll have to use you as a refrence to find him, but don't worry, unless he's a psyker he shouldn't even know I'm doing anything."

Jackson seemed to have come to a decision. "I'm loyal ta the Throne and ta the Imperium, but if you, one of the God-Emperor's own angels of death are against this outfit then I don't want any part of it." With that he reached to his shoulder where a badge in blue and white marked with a symbol of a frost covered blade and the name Ice Knives and ripped the badge off and threw it to the ground where the snow quickly covered it.

Standing tall Jackson gave the sign of the aquila and said, "Combat medic Jackson reporting for active duty Mi'Lord. As a loyal servant of the God Emperor I wish to report suspicious activity." He glanced back at the checkpoint, "oh by the way Mi'lord I should tell ye that when the checkpoint has no one operating the lights they switch to a proximity sensor. In this weather it reaches probably, eight, nine meters?" He shook his head, "anyway's as I was sayin earlier, I've been listening to radio chatter a load and most of it's weird. They keep referin to some 'Boss' or 'Big Blue' and keep bringing up somethin about construction that sounds like its goin on in multiple places, and." He stopped suddenly. After a second Martin came over the Vox.

"I can't sense any taint in him," he told Waycrest. "Also, he's not lying and he's currently feeling something between awe and worship. That's all I can tell from this distance, I'll see what I can find his fellow."

Jackson suddenly continued talking as if nothing had happened, "they recently started talkin about rounding up undesireables." Jackson shrugged, "that's not even the strangest thing though-"

Suddenly Martin came over the vox sounding alarmed, "Waycrest, watch out! Something's wrong with the other soldier!" As he said this Waycrest realized that, while the badge had been covered in seconds by snow, Basil was almost completely uncovered. At that moment Basil shot up with inhuman speed, drawing a hidden knife and lunging forward at Jackson. As he did this Waycrest could feel something trying to seize his armor, as if to hold him in place. Basil plunged the knife into Jackson's upper right leg bringing him crashing down before pulling the knife out and reaching for what looked like some kind of side arm.
