Part of his Symbiote went towards Xueqing and started to heal her slowly. In turn, he started growing tired.
"Mrrr!" Jeff leans against Agent Anti-Venom, utilizing his knowledge of symbiotes to act as a stabilizing force.
He watched as the two was desperately trying to heal Xueqing back to full health. It was a weird feeling to see a different Xueqing in the tavern. "Thank you, both..." he said as he knew Ami had left the place to do whatever was required. He also saw the red headed woman also leave as though she, too, was mad at someone. Probably the one guy with all the medals...
Lord General. A curious delay. Two agents of the Enemy, identified by no less than three Astropaths and two Confessors as colluding with warp entities, falsification of rank and failing to uphold imperial creed. Yet, their warrants gathered dust on your desk for many standard cycles. Care to illuminate this irregularity?
Inquisitor Fehlen. Always so direct. No preamble, no pleasantries. The warrants. Signed. Executed this morning, as you well know. But yes, there was a delay. A... lapse in my usual alacrity.
A lapse? General, these were proven heretics. To delay their rightful culling is to permit the warp’s tendrils another moment of purchase. Every moment prolonged is a victory for Chaos.
I am aware of the strategic implications, Inquisitor. I live and breathe them. For a moment, I saw them not as defects to be expunged, but as soldiers. Imperial Guardsmen, however flawed. They had served under my banner. Fought well, for a time.
Sentiment. The first weakness the Enemy exploits.
Do not mistake my meaning, Inquisitor. This was not compassion. Not weakness. It was… a moment of profound misjudgment. I believed, for an instant, that perhaps my reprimand would allow them to truly grasp the abyss they had flirted with, might shock them back to duty. A chance to confess, truly, not one by many. To repent. They were admitted under the auspices of the Adeptus Ministorum were they not? your soldiers moreso than mine, the one I hadn't a clue about, I had bigger concerns with the theater of operations rather than individual miscreances.
You had the evidence. Colluding with daemons, General. Falsifying their very right to wear the Aquila. Their repentance was irrelevant once their souls were tainted. The only absolution they could receive was the Emperor's Peace through execution. Theirs were not acts meriting leniency and it is expected that officers of the Astra Militarum exercise this judgement dilligently.
Spare me the sermon, Inquisitor. I know the catechisms. I preach them daily. But I am a General, not a Confessor. My mistake was to think I could, for a fleeting moment, be both. I wanted to see if the spark of Imperial virtue, however dim, could be reignited. A fool's errand. A monumental failure of foresight on my part.
And what was the outcome of this 'foresight,' General?
Predictable, Inquisitor. The execution still took place. Later than they should have. A costly lesson. I attempted to warn as best as I could but some are incorrigible to the Emperor's light without constant vigil.
A lesson for whom, General? For the Imperium, or for you?
Both. If the Emperor Himself could strike down His own sons, Primarchs, demi-gods, for their transgressions, then who am I to believe any soul under my command is anything but equally dispensable before the cause of the Imperium? There are no second chances for those who falter in their duty. This was a lapse. It will not happen again.
See that it doesn't, General. The Imperium demands unyielding vigilance. From all of us.
With that the vox-transmission ended, the servo-skull levitating off towards another direction.
The Lord General ruminated his grand mistake for a moment, a regrettable instance but chaos could not be allowed to fester no matter how innocuous it seemed in hindsight. To serve the Emperor was a burden not all could bear.
He looked at the man with all the medals as he was talking about some people either executed or something else. "You higher ups sicken me..." he said softly as he focused his mind on Xueqing for now.
He wanted to go up to him and speak his mind, but to him it wasn't worth it to argue with someone like that. He looked at Ubba and thought to himself. "Are you okay, big man?" he asked loud enough for him to hear it as he went to sit down as he was here for his Xueqing.

"We're okay.....Jeff and I just need a moment to rest...."

"My friend and dearest blood had gone into the Warp to rescue my Brothers in the Lamentors with the Sororitas and another chapter of Astartes, and I don't know which Astartes..."
"Which friend are we speaking of? And the Sororitas? I had the luck to meet Athene. But that was a while back. And the Chaos warp? That damned place? Quite a bad place. I hope whoever they come out alright," he said as he looked at Ubba with a slight look on his face. "And which Sororitas went? Surely not...Ami?" he noted as he sat there scratching his head a bit. "I saw her and the other lady leave. Ami and the lady didn't seem happy. Perhaps they went away to fight for the Emperor I was told...." he was sure that was correct. "And mind I drink what you're drinking?" he asked because he needed something strong.
"And good, Agent. Please be safe with yourself," he said as he kept to himself for now. He knew there was going to be trouble, and he would come out fighting. He wasn't like the Imperial army or the Sororitas'.

"Fenrisian Ale" he said before downing a few more gulps.

Sue bot does some jumping jacks to inspire the chapter wolves, unawares that she gains no physical benefit from doing them~

After a bit of recovery, SJ!Xueqing managed to stand up. Her respiratory rate was still high, though. "So... What you're saying, is that there exists more of me?"
Then, [Percp 14, Emo. percp 19, lucky!] with a glance around, she suddenly noticed that a man (Ubba) was drinking, seemingly down. "Um... you fine? Anything up?"

As Anti-Venom's symbiont did their work, Xueqing felt less exhausted. Some scrapes on her made earlier were also removed.
The girl watched with awe. "Man, you have something alongside you."

In response to Sue, the girl shrugged, "Guess we all are somehow multiversal... or did I say it right?"
(In Limbus Company terms, they both have IDs now! Xueqing doesn't seem to have EGO though)

"Thanks" he ate a cookie. The Anti-Venom Symbiote took one too.
He was making hamburger patties in the kitchen
