SolomorneSolomorne is still, deep in thought, looking more like a statue than a living person. Only when Glaito lets out a low growl, drawing Solomorne's attention, does he break his stillness and raise his eyes. "Come with some parting words, Rogue Trader? Now is the time — there may not be another opportunity."
YOU[Kiss Solomorne] "Don't you want to wish me luck?"
SolomorneHe folds you into a tight embrace, his voice dropping to a whisper: "Try to survive. If you don't, I'm going to kill everyone down there, and I won't care if they're guiltless under the Lex or not."

YOU"I am glad our paths crossed."
SolomorneSolomorne presses his fist to his chest, looking you straight in the eye. The rote gesture looks unexpectedly heartfelt. "It has been an honour to serve in your retinue, and it does not matter what lies ahead. Isn't that right, Glaito?" Without a direct command, the cyber-mastiff barks his assent.
YOU"What are you going to do if we survive?"
Solomorne"I will follow your orders to find a new Marshal, of course. And after that... I will leave you. For how long, only the Emperor knows — every Arbitrator counts now, and I'm needed on Dargonus."

YOU"Hey, Glaito! I'll keep an eye on your Arbitrator if you die. I promise."
SolomorneSuddenly, Solomorne throws back his head and laughs. His laughter, unusually sincere and gleeful, rolls across the bridge. "Will you now? As if I'd let Glaito die while I still live!"

YOU"Ready, Solomorne?"
Solomorne"You know I am." Solomorne places his hand firmly on his weapon, and Glaito stands at attention, echoing his master's determination.

Solomorne"However..." Solomorne casts a sidelong look at you. "That doesn't mean I won't return to the one waiting for me. I promise — no matter how long the road, no matter how dangerous the obstacles, my journey will always end at your door."
end of branch
Solomorne"Or..." Solomorne's gaze is piercing and bores right into yours. "You will simply order me to stay, and I will. The Emperor did not grant you the privilege of command by chance. If you choose to command my presence, then my place and my duty is at your side."

Solomorne"You have entrusted me with the leadership of the Adeptus Arbites in the Expanse — whether I become the next Marshal or not, I will have to leave your retinue and devote myself entirely to my new post."

Solomorne"To purge the Arbitrators' ranks of those who have strayed in their service to the Lex Imperialis.

Solomorne"Honestly? I don't know. The Adeptus Arbites no longer exists in the Expanse, but that doesn't mean I can't serve the God-Emperor's Law. I will consider my future later, if, as you say, we survive."

YOU"Are you afraid to step into the unknown, where there is no law?"
Solomorne"No more than Glaito is."
SolomorneSolomorne and Glaito exude steely confidence — both akin to living embodiments of duty and order. "The doctrine of the Adeptus Arbites commands that I cast aside doubt and fear for the sake of service, so you won't see even a hint of such criminal hesitation from me. I am ready to carry the Emperor's justice into the heart of darkness."

SolomorneSolomorne ruffles the back of the cyber-mastiff's neck, wearing a sad, slightly tremulous smile. "I have you and my dog with me — the God-Emperor could grant me no better reward for my service than the chance to either die valiantly in good company or overcome unimaginable peril by your side. What more could I want?"

SolomorneGlaito bares his metal fangs, and Solomorne's mouth broadens into a dangerous, death-or-glory grin. "Let those who hide from us at the edge of the galaxy be afraid — we will bring the Lex Imperialis to them whether they want it or not. So, [Name] shall we show them all?"

SolomorneSolomorne nods in understanding. "I agree — words are unnecessary. It's time to descend to Epitaph and face the final test."
