Aloysius at first does not move over towards the new armour.

"Whilst your offer is generous, I will decline on the armour. I have been offered this choice before, and I prefer Mark IV for its lighter weight and improved stealth capabilities. I personally salvaged and repaired this artefact set from the Dead World of Dratheus IV and its many... 'specialties'**... are a combination of its original ownership*, the work of my Chapter's forges, and my own personal craftsmanship. I will be keeping this suit for a little while longer."

At the same time as Aloysius is speaking, he is also mentally logging reports on the xenos weapons, such as the Shuriken weapons, for later report to the Deathwatch after the mission. However, if is not the priority of the mission, and he does not mention what can be perceived as heretical overstepping of bounds by the Adeptus Mechanicus. As a practical thinker, he realises they could become useful later on.

"The power swords I will also not need. I will, however, requisition some grenades and an auxiliary grenade launcher."

He moves over to take an additional small pouch from the wall, before filling it with a pair of Imperial plasma grenades and stuffing another in one of his own pouches. A couple of extra energy cells and plasma fuel bottles go into them as well. Aloysius also grabs a pair of incendiary grenades, and a frag grenades, before instructing a nearby Servitor to attach the auxiliary grenade harness on the wall to his Jump Pack, and load the grenades he is holding into it.

OOC:


 * Little bit of background left unsaid: Aloysius' suit of Power Armour was salvaged from a Heresy era battlefield, and had originally belonged to an Alpha Legionnaire.)


 * Armour Addendums: Just to reveal a couple of the specialities so I don't get called out later for cheating or anything later, there is a small panel in his armour containing 3 coin-sized micro-breacher charges (for popping locks), a single-use deployable infernus discharger (one-round infernus pistol essentially) hidden in a wristguard, one-cm length retractable bracer blades running along the outward side of his forearm bracers, and a micro-auspex built into his helmet (its small size means it can only be activated for 10 minutes once every four hours). Remember, all of these are secret when IC.
