on a curling corner.
A line of blue ink recorded the course of the Vae Victus and
Barzano wondered if this one ship would be enough. He quickly
dismissed the thought. If they could not prevent the Bringer
of Darkness from returning then the entire Ultima Segmentum
battlefleet would not make a difference.
The prospect depressed him and he refilled his glass.
‘Shouldn’t you go easy on that?’ asked Lortuen Perjed, appearing
from the shadows. ‘It’s quite strong, you know.’
‘I know, but it is rather good,’ replied Barzano, pouring another
glass.
Perjed accepted the drink and sat on the edge of the bed. He
sipped the drink, his eyes widening at its potency.
‘Yes, quite strong,’ he confirmed, taking another swallow.
Barzano slumped into the chair before his display terminal and
retrieved his glass from the map.
‘So what are you still doing up anyway, Lortuen?’
The old adept shrugged. ‘Not much else to do at the moment.’
‘True,’ agreed Barzano. ‘I dislike playing a waiting game.’
‘You used to enjoy it. Waiting until your prey made a mistake
and played right into your hands.’
