Ultra Templar Home brewed Chapter Story

[Chronotonic]

Rechecking the bolt pistol in his hand Sergeant Tellos looks over at Advar his special weapon expert and says "How many magazines do
we have Advar?"

Advar looks up from his flamer and says "Sir, at the rate of consumption we just ate up half of them.  These hordes are getting larger by the moment."

Tellos nods and says "Then we head out now, I already lost two men to those damned things I won’t lose the rest of you." Flexing his Powerfist
he looks out the window, only a few of those things shuffling around, one loud sound and a mini-army would be there in seconds.

Tellos thinks back to when this mission first started 3 hours ago, Drop Pod insertion, cleanse and purge is what the Captain said, the Imperial Guard had
just contacted them via communications array saying that 2 or 3 quick strikes and this would be over, they just simply did not have the man power to do them
all at the same time.  Then it all went downhill, the Captain arrived via Thunder hawk at the Imperial Guards Command Center with 30 Marines, most of them the Heavy Weapon teams from the 2 Devastator Squads in the Company, along with the 10 man Sternguard squad attached via the 1st company.  As soon as the ramp was lowered and the area scanned and cleared the Captain came off the shuttle when suddenly so many rockets hit the Thunder hawk, with only the Captain and those already off the Thunder hawk surviving, but not much longer.  By then the Drop Pods had already been fired and we were heading towards the planet all the sergeants listening in on the command frequency.  The Captains last stand against the infected hordes of Imperial Guardsmen, with the Sternguard special rounds ripping through multiple infected, then everyone went to Close combat, something his chapter favored, but it was to no avail.  Out of the 30 marines, none survived.

Tellos looks at Advar as he says "Best bet would be to hit the Star port, quietly hijack a small transport and get back to the Strike Cruiser.  So we need to double time it there, silencers to all men, each kill before the infected know what hit them.”

Advar nods and relays the command to each man; this was something his chapter has learned, quick, quiet kills.  With the chapter already back up to a third of their original strength after losing all but his one company to the Necron five years ago, this battle has hit them hard already, but with the three other sergeants that were still alive and each was heading to the star port as well, it would be possible for a small transport could get them all off the planet, besides half a company was better than no company.

Tellos attaches his own silencer to his bolt pistol he takes aim with his seven other marines under his command, half a second later the seven closest infected
heads explode.  No sound, besides the popping sounds the heads made.

Tellos looks over at Goliath and ask "How many around us now...?" Goliath only grins as he looks down at the squads Auspex as he says "None within 200 meters sir." Tellos nods to the men and says "To the Star port then, we are down to less than forty men for our company if I understand this correctly and I plan on making sure all of us get back to the Strike Cruiser to destroy this planet and all of these infected."

Advar places a hand on Tellos shoulder and says "From what I have gathered from the Imperial Guards database, there are approximately three places between
here and the Star port that we can use for resupplies and ammo.  Not only ammo but Bolter Ammo..."

Tellos nods and looks at Goliath and says "How many between us and the first stop...?" Goliath looks at the auspex and says "hard to tell but it looks like approximately 30 or so, on a straight path, but we know how fast these things can run sir."

Tellos nods and signals that they move out, with Goliath taking point with auspex in one hand and his bolt pistol in the other.

---------------------------------------

Halfway there Goliath holds up his hand and everyone hears the gurgling howl.  It is Revar who sees it first, from a five story building; Revar quickly points his gun up towards the thing only to be slammed into the ground by it.  Grengar is right next to him grabs the thing by the back of the neck and

slams it into the alley ways brick wall, crushing its skull in instantly.

By then Revar has gotten back up and walked over to what is left of the thing, turning it over he looks at it and says "Some kind of hunter sir, with the way it
moved and pounced.  I do not think it has met our kind yet sir."

Tellos nods and looks back at Goliath as Goliath says "That thing sir is not exactly like the rest, it has slight differences, but same infection almost
like a mutation..." Tellos nods and says "add it to the auspex."

Goliath nods as he quickly types in the information needed into the auspex "Sir...we have a small problem, twenty of them just popped up in the
auspex between here and location one, but as the Emperor would have it none of them are moving..."

Revar says "Well at this rate all I got was knocked down by something jumping five stories down. I think we have this breed covered."

Tellos looks over at Revar and says "We lost two men to that main infection, and if this thing is turning all of them into those things we do not have enough ammo." Revar nods and moves forward and takes point with Goliath.

------------------------------------------

By the time Tellos and his squad had arrived at the second location they had lost another man to some sort of infected that was easily twice the size of one

of their brothers in terminator armour.  This infection was thus dubbed a tank.  Down to only seven men in the squad Tellos was getting slightly more pissed,
these things were wearing them down.  Luckily every time they got themselves to safe house it was empty of everything but ammo and supplies, on top of that right before they reached the door to the first safe house some sort of overweight infected that should not have been able to move under its own strength much less move as fast as his own men threw up on them thus literally every infected within a 10 block radius came at them with itself exploding with the force of a Krak grenade when it was killed.  The explosion ripped off Tellos helmet as he blew the blob apart with bolter rounds.

Tellos turns and spits at the wall, watching it melt from his acid spit, looking over his men and then at Advar says "have you been able to contact the other squads...?"

Advar nods and says "Yes sir...Sergeant Felius and his men are clearing out the Star port right now with the remains of sergeant Castus' squad.  Castus was caught by a tank right before entering the Star port sir..." Tellos nods and says "What about the other squad, where are they?" Advar only shakes his head.  "All lost...it appears they came across a nest of those same Tanks sir..."

Tellos only becomes more angry at that statement and puts his Powerfist threw the wall..."Then let us waste no more time than is needed...we need to get
to the Star port...Goliath what is the quickest way there and damned with the numbers..." 

Goliath looks up from the auspex and says "we can cut much of the way there with four of five buildings...but there are no safe houses in that area, and
it is a breeding ground for the normal infected..." Tellos nods and says "Well then we shall have to be quick and quiet wont we." Revar nods and says "or we can just go in guns a blazing and kill them all now..."

This is met by group laughter at the thought.

--------------------------------
 
Tellos rips through another group with a single swipe of his Powerfist, as he quickly turns to his left he sees another tank charging his group.  Tellos pissed at the time it has taken and the men he has lost simply charges back, ducking under the Tanks arms, upper cutting the Tank with the Powerfist destroying the tank in an instant.  By the time Tellos turns around his men have finished off the rest of the horde and the Space Port within sight is right over this bridge, two marines are standing their waving for them to run, and run they do.  As soon as they cross the bridge one of the marines that was their takes off his helmet and says "Sergeant Tellos I am Brother Belius I am in command of Sergeant Caustus squad, I have a present for you..."

Belius hands over a detonator and Tellos looks back at the bridge, and a massive horde charging them and Tellos says "Thanks for holding the bus by
the way Belius..." when the horde had gotten about 3/4s of the way across Tellos grins again and presses the button. 

[Chronotonic]

Sergeant Tellos stands there at attention as Chaplain Faust, The Master of Sanctity himself stood there in his office.  The Master of Sanctity looking at the Sergeant Faust says "Sergeant I have the After Action Report here from the other Sergeants as well as yours and I believe Brother Belius.  It seems your squad decided to go for broke and against all odds survived where most of the company did not.  One of your brother will never fight again, but will become a trainer...at his own request it seems...on top of losing three other men to the hordes.  As the Captain and his own command squad were killed at the beginning of the campaign it seems we are in need of a new commanding officer until one can be appointed by our Chapter Master Tellos.  I think we shall have to come up with a nick-name for you if something happens that you are both in the room at the same time."

Faust grins and says as he reattaches his helmet "Gather your squad, you are now commanding officer of the four squads of the fifth company, two of your men are being attached to Belius squad and Belius is getting field command of sergeant...Apothecary Lornoc will be joining your unit...also it seems that Brother Advar is quite skilled with a blade as the previous company champion was using him for sparing every chance they got...if you wish I think he would make a great new champion..."

Tellos only stands there taking all this in…command...him...of a company...the honor was not lost to him.  Tellos falls to a knee and says "Chaplain...I thank you for allowing me this honor but I do not believe I am ready for such a task."

Faust laughs and says "Thus the reason I shall join you and your squad, and do not fear Tellos, I have had many conversations with another Tellos after the destruction of our planet.  It took me many months to convince him to take the title of Chapter Master, did you know that...ha-ha...so do not worry.  Those who do not seek command are usually the best for it in my experience..."

Tellos stands and nods and says "I shall not let you down Chaplain."

Faust stops laughing and looks at Tellos through his helmet and says in the most serious tone.  "See that you do not, for I shall be the one who Master Tellos will turn to when it comes time to return to the fleet and hear of what happened to this company."

-----------------------------------------------------

Advar grabs the closest infect by the throat and slams him into a concrete wall spinning around he then pumps two shots from his bolt pistol into four oncoming infecting blowing all four apart.  Advar turns as he hears Tellos yell something..."ERYONE PULL BACK NOW..."

Advar takes two steps towards the fall back point only to be grabbed and pulled back into the hordes, some sort of rope, farther and farther away from his team, he pumps shots into the horde as they beat down on him he is grateful that his armour is taking the brunt of the attacks.  Then the rope stops and Advar jumps up and starts pumping shots into the horde that is around him until his ammo counter runs out, quickly pulling out his newly acquired power sword Advar rips into them and heads back to his own lines after losing count of how many minutes of hand to hand fighting Advar runs into Tellos his powerfist still crackling, Tellos says "I believe that the fall back point is there other way brother."

Advar only grins under his helmet "My, apologizes commander I felt as though I should go for a stroll and was remiss about the mission." Advar grins again as he plays off Tellos own comment.

"Then when we return to the strike cruiser brother Advar remind me to show you what happens to our brothers when they fail a simple command." Advar grins disappear as he turns to Chaplain Faust...

"My apologies Chaplain, it was meant as a joke, one of the mutated infected smoker latched onto my armour and pulled me outside the fire point."

Faust only laughs and says "Worry not brother, it was I who alerted Tellos here of what was going on, Brother Te...sorry...Commander Tellos here and your fellow squad mates jumped straight into that horde and brought fire and brimstone to those infected by Nurgle."

Advar grins and turns his head towards Tellos as Tellos says "Ok then, let’s try this again, everyone fall back to the rally point.  I have just reached the Battle Leader of the
Space Wolves chapter and they are making planet fall in 3 hours."

 

 

**************************************************************************************************

 

First off this is a bit old as in when Left for Dead first came out the original not the second one...haha I did some editing of it removing a good number of ... threw out the story the ones there are pauses in speeches I am all for a bit of feedback...  but if it is along the lines of go blank yourself really why are you here to begin with haha...

 

I do not see a lot of that happening though so I am not to worried.  I hope to add more stories of the Ultra Templar chapter of mine (dark angels founding...throw everyone off muhahahaha)  and bring back and hopefully find my original loss of the chapter story somewhere...

[Wulfkry]

You used the word "clip" in the beginning, when its actually Magazine or Mag for short.  Clip would be used on a weapon like the m1garand where as weapons such as the M4 or the SA80 that you brits have use magazines.  Bolters for the most part are magazine or sometimes drum fed where as a heavy weapon like a heavy bolter is belt fed.Sorry, thats a pet peeve of mine.  I do not believe any modern weapons are clip fed and I do not think i have come across any weapons in 30k/40k that are clip fed as well.  Other than that pretty cool story got any more?

[Chronotonic]

Yeah thanks for the heads up on the clip thing...i will fix it later when i get home i am on my phone right now i got two other stories to go with it...

Origin Story of what happened to the Ultra Templar

 

A Sergeant pushes through the flaps of the command tent clearly have just finished a large battle.  “COMMANDER TALLOS…THE NECRONS ARE RIPPING THROUGH OUR ARMOUR…also the Ninth and Sixth Company are all hands lost the Seventh is attempting a fighting retreat back to the fortress.   What are your commands sirs?"

Tellos looks at the Assault Sergeant and replies "Where is the Chapter Master at?  Did the First, and Third Company make the jump out of system...?" 

"No sir, I just heard that all hands were lost, with minimal loss to the Necron fleet.  We have just our single Battle Barge sir, we are down to my squad and Sergeants Decar and Yelai’s squads and we cannot hold the west any longer."

Tellos looks at him and replies "Your words were always the truest my friend, have our men fall back in good order get what armour you can salvage and get everyone back to the Thunderhawks where is Chapl...." Commander Tellos com link burst open with chatter  "COMMANDER TELLOS...This is General Vargus of the PDF Forces south of your position...we are being overrun with metal monsters and all but our heaviest weapons are of no use...DAMN IT MAN FIRE EVERYTHING AT IT NOW...HOLY EMPEROR...TAKE OUT THE ONE ON THE LEF......."....static is all that is heard on the other side...

"Sergeant the PDF forces are gone...double time it now or we will be next...I have a plan to finish this and make sure our brothers deaths were not in vain..."

The Sergeant nods and stalks out of the command tent. 

Tellos walks over to Epistolary Arbalan and says..."Your men may be the last of the Librarium for our chapter..." Arbalan only nods and looks over at the only member in Terminator Armour Chaplain Faust, as Faust says "Faith is our strongest weapon against these monstrosities but we will need more in the coming hours…If the reports are
correct we are down to a handful of Tech Marines, a few Librarians and myself and possibly two other Chaplains and most are in this room...as the Emperor decrees we were lucky enough to have the senior members join you Commander Tellos or the command staff of our offices would have been destroyed."

Tellos walks over to Faust and places a hand on his shoulder pad and says "Faust know that this day is far from over these Necron will rue this day as we will finish them with an Exterminatus, with our battle barge we shall fire all of our cyclonic torpedoes upon this world and the Emperors fire shall burn this planet clean of the enemy."
 
Tellos takes his hand off of Faust shoulder pad and turns to his company champion Cephesus then says "Have all of our weapons and everything not bolted down in the armoury put on the battle barge...EVERYTHING...have the servitors reprogrammed for the task now.  Faust you and your fellow Chaplains gather everything that can be from the Sanctity use however many servitors as needed and have it moved to storage bay 4...Arbalan...as well everything you can get up there I want there now...every relic will be saved..."

Turning to his Command Squad he says, "Men it has been a pleasure to serve with all of you but our job is not finished...we will finish this fight and take our fight to other tomb worlds, we will destroy every trace of the Necron virus that we can..."

A tactical Marine runs into the command tent "Commander, I have an urgent communication from orbit.  The Aurora Chapter heard our hail.  They are incoming with the remaining Ultra Templar fleet that was on the other side of the system we have a clear path out of this sector."

Tellos only grins under his helmet.  "You heard the man, no need to waste time here now.  Let’s get this done..."

Faust walks out with the command squad and Arbalan in tow to begin the preparation of evacuation...

-----------A Few Hours Later--------------------------------

As the Battle Barge Death's Reaper left orbit Commander Tellos asks "Are the warheads primed..." "Yes commander" was the reply from the deck...

He looks at the planet one last time...so much lost...50 billion souls...almost a whole chapter worth of warriors...all but five ships of the chapters lost...all because of those cursed Necron warriors...
 
He presses the button on the control panel, over fifty rockets spearheaded towards the planet...right before they hit the atmosphere the all broke apart into 10 miniature versions...over 500 rockets hits the planet perfectly...the computer reported no malfunctions, the planet turned into a second sun and the Necron fleet around the planet disappeared as they are vaporized by the explosion.

The five ships of the Ultra Templar and the three ships from the Aurora Chapter jumped into the warp away from the planet.

[Chronotonic]

---------Two Weeks Later----------------------

"Commander Tellos, I am Chapter Master of the Aurora Chapter.  First off I am truly sorry for the loss of your fellow Templar but now is not the time for remorse, as
you already know.  There will be a representative from the High Lords who will ask you a question or rebuilding the chapter or going out on one final crusade until you are all killed off.  I have a third option...join my chapter"

Tellos looks up at the Chapter master and asks..."What are you talking about...join your chapter...you are already almost filled to the 1000 mark...Besides while we are brothers in arms till Judgment day our Primarchs are not the same.”

The Chapter master only grins..."This I know Brother Captain, and this is not done lightly either.  Your men would be an Aurora Marine in name alone until you rebuilt back to your former strength without the prying eyes of the Inquisitors or the AdMec.  This way you would fight with your brothers and still have allies.”

Tellos grins getting his meaning..."A new chapter would be built from the two chapters...then split once again once we are strong enough.  The only thing that would happen is your chapter would gain three or four more companies and as large as the Imperium is no one would give it a second thought...it might work..."

--------The Next Day-----------------------

"Commander Tellos...tell me what you are thinking...I can tell it is weighing heavily on your mind..."

Tellos looks over at Faust and Faust only grins and says "I am the Chapters Master of Sanity...you don't need to be a Librarian to see into your mind and see the stress you are

under...I too am under a great deal of stress.  Like none I have seen before but with the Emperors Guidance I am handling it quite well..."

Faust grins again..."Well enough to help the others of our chapter in their time of need..." He walks over to Tellos and places his gauntlet hand on the commander’s shoulder and says "we have lost many good men these past few months...we are down to only one hundred and seven men...good men all but that is barely company strength."

Tellos head drops and says "We were lucky we saved all the land raiders and tanks.  Our battle barge and three strike cruisers that were on the other side of the system with the frigates...and they held most of the men that survived...Faust only thirty-five men made it off the planet...THIRTY-FIVE out of one thousand..."

Faust only nods his head as he says "Many more will fall if we do not do what is needed...But know this those men that fell are with the Emperor now...And they shall be there when we fall in battle as well..."

Tellos looks up at Faust and nods as he says "My men will not have died in vain against those Necrons...I have gone through our data banks...there is a tomb world within a week’s travel time from our current location...a dormant tomb world...we could go in set a few melta bombs and blow the tomb up from the inside...and then move onto the next one..."

Faust walks over to the desk in the room and says "Or...we can join the Aurora Chapter and their men and fight alongside them against all the enemies of the Imperium..."

--------Five Months Later-----------------------

Five bolter rounds rip into the upper torso of a Necron warrior as he slowly stands back up after the last rounds...exploding the torso.

Tellos looks over at the Sergeant and says "I trust the Melta Charges are set..."
 
The Sergeant nods and says "Yes Chapter Master Tellos..." Tellos only laughs and says..."No I am Commander Tellos only...I am not worthy of the title Chapter Master...How many men fell today..."

The Sergeant removes his helmet and grins as he says "none Tellos...all men are fine a few are cut up from a fight with squad of Wraiths but we know how to counter them now and no men were lost...The Melta Charges are going to go off in 20 minutes which gives us two extra minutes to get out of the blast radius..." 

Tellos nods and says "Then the order is given all men are to report back to the staging area..."

The Sergeant nods and reattaches his helmet and gives the order. Tellos looks over at the last Necron warrior he just destroyed and walks over and rips the head off the neck...then attaches it to his belt next to the other three just like it...

The Sergeant then says "Four tomb worlds in as many months with the loss of only three men...you as the Chapter Master should be proud..."

Tellos nods and says "Yes our lost Chapter Master would be, because I am only the Commander..." Then he turns and leaves...

[Chronotonic]

"I hear the calling from the warp..." Librarian Carius says to Chaplain Faust...Faust looks up from his work and says "I feel something to...and that feeling is getting

louder every day...but with the loss of so many of our battle brothers the other day...a full scout squad included with most of our terminator armoured breathern...I was barely able to survive those Kinn (ork) flamers...The other Chapter with us lost their Chapter Master and his entire Honour Guard..." 

Carius looks at the other Chaplain there and says "What can we do..." Marius just shakes his head and says "Very little my brothers...this loss was to large even as we rebuild...if
we were at least half-strength we could go on...but now...even I do not know where we go...both of the other Captains that survived the Necron Hordes were lost last year...The Techmarines stay locked up in their armouries to busy repairing what weapons and armour we do have to help on the field...which I do not be-grudge them...even our apothecaries do not even come to the field of battle, as they are needed to start the next generation of scouts..."

Faust stands up and says "already I have had to confine nineteen of our veteran battle brothers and over 50 of our new scouts...50 of them...That is almost a 1/3 of the scout we have right now... out fighting force of viable brothers is 2 full tactical squads and our three dreadnoughts...I cannot even count ourselves right now..."

Carius looks at Faust and says again..."what can we do..."

Faust looks at what he was working on and spins the book around and says "Something no loyalist should ever think of doing..."

Carius eyes grow wide with fear seeing the writing in the book then looking at the three Chaplains in the room knowing that their minds are already made up...And that they have already started down the dark path...

 

Carius jumps up without thought plasma pistol already out pulling the trigger in Faust face obliterating the oldest member of his chapter in an instant.  Carius brings up force sword up from his scabbard to block Chaplain Nerox Crozius Arcanum but the force and the fact he is not grasping the situation properly yet Nerox weapon catches and rips the sword away from Carius.

 

But Carius is trained as a Battle Brother as long as Nerox and his fellow Chaplain Targin he knows what they are going to do before they do it and not from his powers.  Already taken out the Terminator Armoured traitor he turns to Targin and puts two Plasma shots into his chest spins around to dodge Nerox's downward sweep with his mace.  Carius flicks his hand out and started electrocuting Nerox with his full power now that he has time to process their fall...

 

Three seconds is all it took, one point four to realize how far they had fallen.  Faust was the Chapter Masters most trusted adviser  he was the foundation of what they were rebuilding.  Without him could they rebuild...would they even try.

 

Carius walks over to his weapon and picks it up as he sheaths his plasma pistol, quickly bringing it up to Targins attack with his own knife.  Carius blocks two more attacks ducks and rolls behind Targin and brings the blade threw Targin's helmet and lets go of his rage into what was left of Targin's body.

 

Carius falls to a knee after what he has done, the fact of the matter is not lost on him three of the most trusted men in the Chapter fallen to Chaos.  Who else has fallen?

[Chronotonic]

“econdary objectives should be to make sure the relay station stays off line so no other tomb stalkers from other tombs can find this one after we are finished Sergeant…”  Tellos
looks up as Carius walks onto the bridge of the Battle Barge Death’s Reaper and Tellos knows something is wrong.

Carius walks over to Tellos with a shaken look his armour whines as he stops at the holo-table where the next stage of raids were being planned against the Necron hordes. 

Carius looks Tellos in the eyes and says “Chapter Master I have disturbing news, Faustus as well as the other Chaplains have fallen to Chaos and have been dispatched by my own hand not even thirty minutes ago.  I feel like the Veterans they have confided were confined because they would not go along with their plans.  Whatever they may have been.”

Chapter Master Tellos only nods slowly letting the information be processed.  “How…Why…who else…?”

 

Carius only nods his head no as he says “I have no idea my lord hopefully we caught it before it spread to far but the recent battle with the other Chapter Master and the loss of Terminator Brethren he was training to restart the first company on top of all that we have lost may have finally unhinged his mind.  I have locked down the Chaplains rooms and posted one of Librarians at each entrance.   I will go down to the detention cells and go through the minds of those locked up one at a time and make sure they are untainted…”

Tellos shakes his head and says “Do what you must I need to know who can and cannot be trusted I want this taken care of immediately.  Take Captain Tellos with you and his Command Squad go through his men first I want Second Company ready to fight if need-be.  He will be hit harder than the other two Captains but he will be the most solid in a fight if it comes down to it.”

 

Carius turns to leave but Chapter Master Tellos says “bring those who have fallen to me…I wish to take care of this personally.”

Carius nods and heads out the door to find Captain Tellos.  

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“Goliath find me Sergeant Belius and have him bring his squad followed by Felius and our Assault Sergeants as well.  Carius can you quickly take care of these
four squads, so I can lock this ship down without incident?”

 Carius nods and says “Everyone on this deck has been cleared so the Devastator squads are already being moved into position around the Chaplains quarters with my Librarians.  After your company has been checked I want you and your command squad with two of your squads to come with me to the detention cells and check the Veterans there.”

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“REVAR…GET YOUR SQUAD INTO POSITION OVER BY THE SOUTH CORRIDOR…”  Captain Tellos peaks his head over the barricade then ducks back behind as more rounds hit the other side. 

Carius looks over at Tellos and says “At least our scouts were properly trained…unfortunately over one hundred scouts have bolters and are firing at thirty marines.”

Tellos only laughs and says “Well it just sucks that we are going to have to train another company of worthy marines…ALL UNITS ENGAGE AND DESTROY…NO PRISONERS…”  Tellos and his command squad hurtle over the barricade and open fire before their boots even hit the ground alongside Belius squad and Revars going down the South Corridor with Felius and his men.
 

Within minutes the fallen scouts are overrun by the power armoured marines.  Captain Tellos looks at one of the last fallen scouts and puts his boot on his chest with his bolter
pointed at the young scout’s forehead and asks one simple question “Where are my loyal scouts being held?”  The fallen scout only laughs for a second before the impact destroys his head.

 

“Carius, where are the remaining loyal scouts at I wish to save as many as possible?”  Tellos ask Carius.  Carius only points down the hall and says “being held by a handful of Veterans who needed no persuasion to join Faustus.”

 
Tellos speaks into his comm and says “All squad be careful we are heading into veteran controlled territory.  No quarter will be given and those that lay down their weapons shall have a bullet put in their heads as you continue on.”  All Tellos gets in return are acknowledged blips.
