Drake continued to study his long range auspex. The blips that were supposed to represent enemy contacts flashed each time the huge, roof mounted scanners pulsed. He also watched the progress of the teams he had sent out to deal with them. Some had already been killed, he hadn't been surprised though, some losses were to be expected. Two things perturbed him however, the expert stealth with which the infiltrators dealt with the teams, without losing a single member as of yet, and the fact that they had even managed to destroy one of the elitist units which had been out there. However the elites must have taken their toll since that particular infiltrating team had come to a halt. Another team had also stopped apparently but it had, as yet not come into contact with any of his teams.
Earlier he had sent a psyker to inform the 29th of his situation. Hopefully they would receive the message as he had been forced to code it and hide its real meaning. It had merely been a situation report but it was an important one. The psyker had said he would send it out as soon as possible, so hopefully his message would get to his team mates soon.
After studying the auspex again he noticed one of the infiltration teams had set off again, though he noticed the slower, almost overly cautious speed they moved at. Drake designated three more teams to move and deal with the infiltrators, when he received a message, via runner, that his presence had been requested in the lord's chamber.
Drake got up, turning off the auspex and making sure his personal effects were secure, he strapped his pistol holster on and stepped out of his room. There were two men waiting for him outside to be his escorts. Drake followed close behind as they led him through the winding ways of he facility.
