It was nothing more than a void in the Endurance’s forward hull, rectangular in aspect, open at the far end to the stars through two oval panes of armoured glass holding out the killing vacuum. There were louvred shutters half-closed across the windows, casting patterns of dim white light in bars where the glow from a nearby nebula reached the vessel.  \nThe ceiling was an arch, formed from the primary spars of the warship’s iron ribcage where they met and meshed in steel riveted plate. There were no chairs or places where one might rest. There was no use for them. This was not a hall in which lengthy debate and plots would be hatched, but a place where blunt orders would be given, directives made and battle plans drawn in swift order. The only adornments were a few combat banners hanging down from the metal beams.  \nThe room was littered with shadows. Alcoves formed from the spaces between the girder ribs went deep and ink-black. Illumination fell in pools, tuned to the same yellow-white of high sun on Barbarus. In the centre of the chamber, a hololithic tank turned on a lazy axis, a ghostly cube of blue drifting there. Mechanicum adepts ticked and skittered around the disc-shaped projector device below it, moving in orbits around each other , but never straying more thana hand’s length away. Perhaps, Garro mused, they were afraid to venture out among the assembled warriors.  \nThe battle-captain cast around, taking in the faces of ranking naval officers and designated representatives from all of the  \nThe Black Library Page 3  \nstarships in the flotilla. Endurance’s commander , a whipcord woman with a severe face, caught his eye and gave him a respectful nod. Garro returned the greeting and moved past her. At his shoulder, Temeter whispered. ‘Where’s Grulgor?’  \n‘There,’Garro indicated with the jut of his chin, ‘with Typhon.’‘Ah,’Temeter said sagely, ‘I should not be surprised.’  \nThe captains of the Death Guard’s First and Second Companies were in close consultation, the murmur of their words pitched low enough so that even the acute senses of another Astartes were not enough to divine their meaning. Garro saw that Grulgor had noticed their arrival, and, as was his usual manner, he ignored it, despite the lapse in protocol a failure to greet them represented.  \n‘He’s never going to be a friend to you, is he?’ventured Temeter, who saw it too. ‘Not even for a moment.’  \nGarro gave the slightest of shr","cbCaikGt9PLGX0LY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikGt9PLGX0LY","pdf",376512,14,"English","# The Flight of the Eisenstein\n## Plot summary\n## Excerpt: The Assembly Hall","[{\"question\":\"What mission does Nathaniel Garro set for himself after Isstvan III?\",\"answer\":\"Garro seizes a ship and heads for Terra to warn the Emperor of Horus’s treachery.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the Eisenstein unable to reach Terra normally?\",\"answer\":\"Enemy fire damages the ship and strands it in the warp, exposing Garro and his men to Chaos.\"},{\"question\":\"What key mood does the excerpt establish inside the assembly hall?\",\"answer\":\"It presents a tense, no-nonsense space for orders and battle planning, with commanders and Mechanicum activity surrounded by ominous shadows.\"}]","THE FLIGHT OF THE EISENSTEIN | PDF",1791332034,22]
