The Alms House - Victory
The cleric Rego Pertinax moves forward, his massive great sword dripping with the blood and effluent of the last Body Snatcher. He steps, chops and slays the second Body Snatcher just like that. His massive blade rips through the flesh and ribcage of the enemy mutant knocking it to the ground where in he kicks it square in the jaw shattering the teeth in the mouth of the beast. Yanking his blade free, the last of the enemies is dead, crushed under the bootheel of the Acolytes!
Haxtes then hurries froward to his Adept brother and unhooks his eletrograph biotic implant and jacks into the consol. Jericus begins to try and help decipher the various notes and writings both on scrap pieces of paper attached to the consol and on the display screens. Offering a prayer to the Omnissiah Haxtes begins to type away at the keypannel. The two brothers work furiously, and the eletric sparks and smoking containters attached to the computer framework eventually and slowly begin to stop threatening to blow. A few key strokes later and the Tech Priest of Mars nods, "The spirit of the machines is soothed." Success!
The Churgeon has escaped, racing to the elevator lift Xanthia, Soliara, and Rego peer down, and can see no sign of her! She has moved far faster than you might anticipate, and likely by now she's long gone. There are other noises coming from the shaft, and outside. The sounds of riots and the scum of the Corsarla District panicing and seeking refuge here as whatever terrible fate that awaits them outside has diven them inside. In the mean time Haxtes and Jericus are working to stop the exploding power sources and the Tech Priest has done just that.
The battle is over, and you stand in the heart of heresy, right in the middle of your goal.

"Solaria turns from the elevator shaft, "Truly the Emperor's might was gifted to you, Father Rego..." Walking back towards the tanks and such, "I think we should get our sample. Haxtes, is it possible to download any information to use as further proof of the Cog Witch's treason? That may help our employers as well as the flesh samples we will take."
Solaria starts to look around in drawers and such, trying to help the others find anything else that might help them gain proof of the churgeon's plans.

"I'll take the samples of her foul creations," Jericus says, pulling out the two remaining sampling vials. He makes no mention of the danger that they have just avoided, nor his part in avoiding it. "But yes, I'm sure that our superiors would welcome any further information about the nature of her heresy that we can provide."

The Tech-Priest Haxtes nods in thanks to Jericus and then looks up from his seat: "Operation completed."
If he is able to download information, he will say: "Do you want to download the files? Yes? No? Abort?"
If he is not able to download anything, he just looks around for any information that he can find.

"Yes please, Haxtes.", Solaria says looking up from her work for a moment.

The group then begins to loot the chamber, the goal is gathering as much evidence and samples as possible. Everything you need to make Inquisitor Sand happy can be found here. The sample jars Jereicus has are filled up with living samples of the strange worm like creatures. Haxtes downloads a large portion of the database into a dataslate and encrypted against possible theft. Solaria collects bits and pieces of notes, and other pieces of interest. There is much heresy here, too much for your group to collect effeciently and quickly. You spend nearly thirty minutes making sure you have everything you easily gather, including some sample jars found on shelves, as well as parts off the Body Snatchers. Besides the heretical evidence you find a few other items more suitable for your own pockets and those items are also taken.

"Let us get what we can. I can clear the way for us when we get downstairs. We still have no idea what the explosion was, as well..." Solaria finishes stuffing her pack with what evdence they have found and anything else that can't be carried.

"Sometimes, His will is to smile on me, sister," Rego says to Solaria as the body snatcher falls to the ground with a wet, slick thud. "And it seems your master will be pleased, whoever they are. Perhaps I should meet them, and see for myself why they want these foul organs and samples."
"As for the rest, we should burn it all."

Re: The Alms House - Victory
A couple of times during the collection process, a noise is heard which causes her to whip around, with both the sword and the gun flashing to her hands. At one point, she goes so far as to reskewer a corpse because she thought it was making a sound.
Even at the end of the collection process, she's still jumpy.

"I agree, but wih on condition. et us give the people al the food stores below in the kitchen. It is the Faith and bodies of the citizens that uphold the Imperium of Man. They cannot be overlooked. It is our duty to serve them, too." Solaria hefts her back and retrieves her auto-carbine. Armed to the teeth once more, the woman is ready when everyone else is. She will retrieve any other weapons as they go, for weapons always are a good trade item and/or seller...
