Author’s note: Selkie Squad reporting in! Husbandry AU
Summary: Delegus makes his Debut- and speaks with Keed and checks over to see what the fuck happened to him. Totally normal interaction with a 'Thousand Sons' and an 'Ultramarine'.
Warnings: None? Let me know if I need to add anything!
Delegus is one of the rare Librarians of the Alpha Legion- and he's powerful enough, skilled enough, and clever enough that he'd been sent undercover as a Thousand Sons and had been successful at it, and one of the 'lucky' sons of 'magnus' not to get afflicted by the Flesh Change.
Delegus, because of him seemingly not been afflicted by the flesh change had been impressed into service by the Apothecaries of the 15th legion as well as by their Greater Magicians to try and help figure out what the Light of the Stars is going on.
By virtue of that he'd learned a lot of things about Apothecary duties and training, especially the Psyker and psychic aspects of it. Becoming one of the best of the Alpha Legionary Psykers on know how to Deal With Psyker wounds and Psyker specific injuries, as well as psyker inflicted injuries, whether on fellow psykers or psyker-on-non-psykers.
As such, when he arrived on Ancient Terra and reported in, his brothers in Teal, while cautious are incredibly happy to have him. He's been run extremely ragged doing all sorts of duties and tasks.
He's grateful for his new squad- as possibly temporary as they maybe, before the designated Chapter Master of the Alpha legion on Ancient Terra, the Master of Secrets and Whispers (whoever the hell that is).
Or they decide to put him elsewhere him or the Master Librarian of the Alpha Legion Psykers pulls him to train more of their baby brothers who have Talent for the Psyker arts.
Fuck, he hasn't been this tired in a long while. He allows himself the indulgence of leaning against a wall and center himself. He's going to insist on a break.
He knows how valuable his skills and talents are, but fuck, he needs a break, otherwise his body is going to force him to have a break and that will make his recovery time almost intolerable and the countless, endless, assignments he have pile up even more.
"Hello brother," Delegus says to Keed who nods to his fellow brother in Teal. "Why don't you tell me what you did before you lost some time and memories?"
"Yes sir," Keed said before reciting everything that he remembers before and after the memory lapse.
During that whole recitation he'd gently been passively watching him and using a touch of his Powers to watch his mind and soul. He sees a touch of silver-edged- gold when his fellow Alpha legionary tries to recall the Memory Loss and he gently touches that psychic lock which lashes out at him.
He dodges the psychic attack and counters it with his own. Easing off some of the power from the memory lock. So that Keed is able to have some fuzzy memories.
"I... was... attacked and... I think interrogated by... by." Keed says, as he starts to bleed from his nose, "s-some in g-grey and gold armor."
"I see," Delegus says, "don't push yourself."
"Yes sir," Keed said sounding miserable.
Delegus lightly pokes and prod around the psychic lock and sees what he can learn from underneath it. And after some careful poking and prodding and sliding underneath the power of the much stronger psyker he finds out what the other was keeping Keed from remembering.
He writes down the full report and send a copy to his Sargent- to Keed's own squad lead and to the local Captain of the Alpha legions in the area.
"You were attacked and interrogated by an extremely powerful psyker," Delegus informs, "I don't believe he implanted anything in you. Just a few more days of observation and you can be released back to normal duties."
"Thank you," Keed says, a tension draining form him like a popped ballon.
