The Longest Short Bus. Chapter 50
🕑 Added 2024-12-26 09:08:59 +0000 UTCThere was just something special, about a three-and-a-half meter tall Ogryn who had human-level intelligence, and of course, a much more natural form working in a small field.
I myself was kneeling in the dirt as I worked beside the male Ogryn and a few others who were watching me show him carefully how to pull up a carrot from the ground without breaking the top plant matter.
"See these carrots are really good food once you boil them a bit to make them soften up. And they are easy to grow more, as you just leave some of the carrot near the plant matter behind to grow a hole new carrot as well." I happily explained.
The Ogryn, Dardarck who I was showing this all too. Had a bit of a green thumb and loved to work in the greenhouse I had back on the Hive World and I moved onto and expanded in the ship with the ship having three separate greenhouses.
Another bonus about having several greenhouses in the ship was that our oxygen was being recycled naturally to a degree, and the fresh food took a load off our rations.
"Hmm, how many times can the same carrot cutting be regrown sir?" Dardarck asked me curiously as I stood up and enjoyed the placebo sun in the rafters of the grow room beaming down on me and providing some warmth.
"Oh? With how there aren't any real parasites and such in our soil and ground. A good number of times certainly, but we need to let the tops and other plans die out eventually as they will need to return to the soil and invigorate it." I spoke before a small smile crossed my face and I chuckled.
I could see Barghest and a couple of other Ogryn's huddled over some giant sunflower bulbs and they were carefully smacking the flowers they plucked into a large bowl as they wanted to season and bake the seeds for snacks.
"Alright, Dalto your with me. I need help collecting the Cocoa pods from their tree's." I called out to one of the female Ogryns who happily came to help me as the other Ogryn's worked to carefully pull the first round of vegetables out of the ground and replant the cuttings so more could grow.
But a couple hours later my systems in my Crisis Suit pinged me as they piggy backed off the Artemis's own systems. "Hmm we are getting close to Avignor." I muttered as we would be coming out of the spatial tunnel a good couple hours of flight from the world in another day at most.
So I messaged all the relevant team leaders to prepare for the landing tommorrow even as Barghest said happily. "Jake can we make a big cake that we can give to the Sister's of Battle and the priests of Avignor?"
My lips twitched at the thought of rolling out of The Artemis with several anti-gravity carts filled with cake instead of blessed weapons and armor.
"I think the holy son's and daughters of the Emperor would prefer a good chainsword over a cake that will go stale too soon." I consoled Barghest who shook her head.
"Living without cake... It's a sad life I tell ya Jake. It's alot better than corpse starch in fact." Barghest said earnstly.
And I couldn't help a peal of laughter as I chortled out. "Yes Barghest... Cake is indeed much better than corpse starch."
Then I paused as a message was sent to me from Katherine. [My lord, the sisterhood and I desire to speak with you about the arrival of new sisters to make sure to head off any complications.]
Knowing that a bunch of new Sister's of Battle meeting the new augmented ones could obviously lead to some issues. I nodded as I messaged her back that I was on my way.
"Aright Barghest, you make sure to save some baked sunflower seeds for me, I will be most cross I tell you!" I said with amusment as I headed off with Barhest happily bellowing with laughter as she retorted.
"I will at least save the shell for ya, my lord!"
'Bah that Ogryn is too cheeky for her own good.' I thought with humor as I made my way towards the chapel/chruch and as I reached it I saw the six guards in full holy enhanced power armor, armed with holy relics I had crafted. And a dozen holy hand grenades were strapped across their chest with wires leading to the grenades to their necks.
And with my suit's observation equipment, I saw that the grenades were set to go off all together should the holders die or their heart beat becomes too weak.
'Two dozen holy hand grenades going off at once in close quarters? I bet that would even make a Greater demon recoil if not banish them.' I mused as the Sister's of Battle pounded their fists over their breast plates and called out. "My lord!"
They stepped aside but the one in charge of this guard rotation said respectfully. "My lord, Lady Katherine has led the sisterhood in a cleansing of the church and if it is possible. Could you go into the showers and cleansing room to rinse away the debris that covers your holy form."
I raised an eyebrow as I had alreadly gone through the the air locks that blowed off all the dust and soil off my boots and knees from where I had been working. But hell, if they wanted to be a neat freak about the church I wasn't going to argue with the zealot about it.
So going past the sisters I took to the side where the cleansing room for the sisters of battle did their own washing and rituals at the direction of the guards and as I came in. I saw Adeith and Katherine were kneeling... Butt naked with another half dozen sisters of battle in similar nudity.
Katherine spoke with the hint of gold light in her eyes obviously after doing hours of prayer baking herself in the spiritual faith energy of the church. "My lord, please step out of your armor. So that we may comfort you, wash your woes away, and cleanse your spirit before we speak of the future."

This is obviously a Trap, I just wonder if he will spring it or not. He has to at least have an idea of their plans right?

A true holy rock-paper-scissors battle to decide on who gets a big belly first.

Jake has to Deal with over a Dozen SS enhanced Sister's of Battle. This is a Quest worthy of any Man. Does make me wonder if they have Designated specific sisters to carry the children since they can't all get Pregnant at once
