"Wait," Jericus says tersely and quietly. "Let me see if I can get some information out of them first."

Damien stumbles a bit, shuddering as he recognizes and can analyze the runes surrounding them. He manages to catch up to Jericus, and just wings it by pretending he has a limp for the moment. He whispers as quietly as he can manage to the group as they advance. "They're ... they're not Chaos cultists. None of these runes are of Chaos. This is something far more strange."

"It's ancient human technology," Jericus whispers back. "Remember what the Oracle said?"

Re: Impossible Processing
A few of the men in the lab move forward, "Who the hell are you people?" One of them asks with a bit of biligerance. The others seems to be seeking things, hands go under tables, or behind backs. The Servitors never deviate from their tasks, but the others, you can sense they are going for weapons in case this goes badly.

Re: Impossible Processing
Sword rumbles through his helmet. "FUCK OFF." He holds his massive two-handed blade threatenly. "What is this place?" His armor keeps him standing and moving forward. He let's someone else do the talking, the only talking the psyker wants to do is with blood.

Re: Impossible Processing
The man is taken aback, the words, the sword, the heavy armor, "Wh...who are you?!" He holds to his question not really knowing what else to say.
Two of the other men draw small laspistols, nothing very dangerous, and a third produces a shotgun from under a table. A woman puts down some tools and looks between her companions and your group, "I don't know who you people are or how you got in here, but this a private facility. If you don't mind please turn around and leave." She tries to sound confident.

Re: Impossible Processing
"After the disaster in Hive Sibellus," Jericus says in a stern voice, "the masters of the Serrated Query have taken a greater interest in this project. We were sent to check on your progress and to assess what interference you've encountered. Then, if necessary, we're to neutralize that interference. Now put those weapons away and lets get down to business."

The men look at one another and the woman motions for them to put the guns down. "You are the men then that Theodosia spoke of? I didn't expect you would arrive so soon sirs." She gulps, and then snaps at the men, "Back to work!" They hurry to put their guns away and get back to work.

Re: Impossible Processing
Jericus looks back at Sword. "Put that away," he says sharply, nodding toward the blade he's drawn. "Everything seems to be in order here. We won't need that." The unspoken 'yet' hangs in the air.
Then he turns back to the man. "First, I want a status report. Tell me where you are and what delays you've experienced. Also, list any interference you've encountered." All of this is delivered in his best Administratum voice. Attentive, but bureaucratic.

Re: Impossible Processing
Its the woman that seems in charge, "We have experienced no delays or interference..." she leaves the 'until you showed up' to hang there in the air. "Shall I give you a tour?" She then motions at the line, "Our servitors do most of the menial work cutting, mixing and dealing with the reagents taken from the bodies." She moves up the line and you can see the handful of servitors working without noticing you on making some sort of compound.
That's when you see her. Saia Strophes! Well what's left of her. She is one of the servitors, her body is pulled into a dozen pieces of tech turning her into a mindless worker drone. You recognize Laurent Strophe's niece from the picture of her he showed you.
The tour guide moves toward some of the rooms in the back. "This way..."
