Standbyyyyyyyyy.++ It came from a long way away and for a moment, his Genehanced physiology and wargear both were unseated. His Lyman's Ear implant tried to filter at the same time as his auto-senses, the biological hardware acting to prevent loss of awareness and to stabilise him as if weightless. The gyroscopic stabilisers in his greaves fought against the neuro-impulse to relax and float merely from the sound. His vision vexed for a moment as he could see almost the mist from his breath inside his helm and every - every - hair on his body stood on end at that voice, or more that sound. He recognised the voice immediately as the Priest. His senses were not vexed so much he could not tell friend from foe. His jaw clenched as the depth of the words drew him into the eddies of the deep waters of the Warp. Living under the Maelstrom he knew the Warp echoed strangely - not like the odd shadow of the Hivemind before - but it clung to everything, like invisible, tacky, oil. By sending him the message from the room, Solastion had taken his spirit there and back again. He could have been standing behind Daon and the vox call would have placed him leagues away. Sabaan threaded through the flexible fabric of reality with an iron silvered needle, bringing him back to the now with his communications integration. He pulsed +Out of Action/No Threat+ for the three Marines above him to the others. To all intents and purposes, they were on their own. "I know not what to tell you. I have been ordered here. We cannot leave." Akkad waited for the Techmarine to complete his rituals. The humans may have been buying time for their allies to gather to attack from below. If so, the Krak grenade would alert them - if not, the others could see and hear as well as he. So in the dark and rain they continued to wait. MR.

Still, mowing down potential allied forces at this point seemed wasteful. He keyed the external vox speakers on the 2-12. "Members of House Qurn!

" You may fulfill your duty by denying His enemies access by barricading the paths leading here. Any further approach will be met by force". His voice sounded even more metallic, echoing down the lane. He cut the speaker. He trained the Chimera's heavy bolter on the nearest group of soldiers.

Commissar Molotov Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 Akkad, Atratus, Greysight, Sabaan, Varvost: As Sabaan's words echo, the soldier shrugs to himself. "As you command. We will fortify the approaches to the plaza." He indicates to the others behind him, who begin to mount their vehicles again. Slowly, they begin to leave to do just as they have promised. Vaidan, Solastion and Tyber: Almost immediately, it seems as though there is a moment of release. You can move once more, free of the pressure that had oppressed you. The Astropath begins to stir, looking at the three of you with her unseeing eyes. "The veil is closing in on us. The light of the Astronomicon is dimming.

He began to trudge down the steps towards the waiting Chimera. Peering inside he spied his favourite nook and greeted the Thaumatuge Mechanicum with a raised gauntlet and a pulse of appreciation, via noospheric relay. He looked up into the tower and replied directly to his Brother By Choice, his Swordsman. +And there young Tyber you speak wisdom beyond your years. Do not apologise, there is guilt in being snared by the warp only if you wished it so.+ He didn't continue the thought, he had seen for himself those that had bartered with the dark forces dwelling within Hell and pitied them or envied them not one mote. He was quiet, relaxing now at least something had passed smoothly, wondering a moment about the soldiers outside, if they were loyal. It mattered not. The message had been sent - received, well that was another concern, which he would not entertain immediately. The team had worked well, he sent small notes of commendation to Vaidan regarding the squad outside and then, personal thanks to each. There was still lots to do. ++Whither shall we go next?++ he spoke to the unit at large. He climbed into the Chimera, sat down and waited for the inevitable debate. MR.

Steel Company Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Tyber forced himself off of his knees his body ached for no reason that he could understand, with a slight shuffle in his walk to the stairs he spoke over the vox network to Vaidan, +I am going to go and look over that book I took from the palace, perhaps it will give us a clue where to start our search.+ Making his way down the stairs, he found himself leaning against the walls for support, even such a minor exposure to the might of the warp was draining for him, entering the chimera he rapped Akkad’s shoulder pauldron before taking the book back into the tower to overlook the contents out of the rain, during the time they had before they were to move out again.

Mazer Rackham Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 A nod up to the larger Marine as he tapped his pauldron, instinctively he knew the huge warrior would be thinking about the brush with the Aetherworld and armed with a book would be thinking of other things to try and dispel its lingering touch. He had no further words, every individual who had been touched by that cursed draft was forced to reconcile it his own way. Some met it with renewed zeal, others devotion to the Emperor, realising at last, at least that if the Warp was real, so was the Emperor's own touch and light - Astartes were beyond such things, he thought, idly looking at his hand, flexing the fingers and marvelling, even now at the genescience that had wrought him. But he knew it cut both ways. The Emperor was real and so the daemons - he reflexively mentally bit off any further thoughts of that word - were real. They haunted dreams in the Maelstrom, scraped along the hulls of ships in the immaterium, gouges in ablative ship cladding did not lie. How had he dealt with it? It had been so long, so almost normal, that he didn't know. He stifled a bitter smile as his face set to flint. They may have even mind-scrubbed him - although it was rare in the Warders. Everyone who had seen things like that became valuable. Marines at least. The humans were just shot. He wanted to use the term executed, but destroying dribbling, murmuring and jabbering husks, who were clawing out their own eyes did not warrant the term. He reflexively thought of the multilaser battery on the Chimera, looking up without seeing. Overcharging them and constant maximal fire incinerated bodies well enough. Then he did as he always did. He circulated the active parts of his brain, exercising the Watchful Sleeper, keeping an ear open for Vaidans next instructions. As he half-drifted his cognitive functions applied themselves. How did he deal with it? Treat it like an enemy. The worse fate an enemy can suffer - is to ignore them. He did. MR.

Steel Company Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Holding the book in his hand, in the center of the entrance room, Tyber opened it then shut it again and again, never really starting it. His mind still seeing the ghostly non-images of friends’ outgrown or dead, he wandered around the room, pacing would be a more accurate term if one were want to give it such, until he came to a painting on one wall. A typical religious painting of the Emperor as a divine being, his mind still trying to wrap itself around what he had half processed, but it did not make sense; the warp was just a hole in the fabric of reality, a vast nothingness as far as he had been taught. Shaking his head, telling himself that it couldn’t be anything but what he knew it to be, there was no such thing as daemons, there couldn’t be, could there? He said “And yet Horus had such things aid him in his rebellion… Grandfather, did you lie to us, your sons and grandsons about such things? Do such things not contradict your very teachings of the Imperial Truth?” as he reached out touching the painting, as if seeking an answer, that he knew a painting could not provide.

Map to come after deployment is agreed in the OOC thread... Xin: The Chimera may move 15m as a half action, or 30m as a full action. For reference, our previous ruling regarding Two-Weapon Fighting: If you use two weapons to do a 'multiple attacks' action, then it is -20WS/BS to both. If you have TWWM and do a 'multiple attacks' action with two melee weapons, then it is -10WS to both. If you have TWWR and do a 'multiple attacks' action with two ranged weapons, then it is -10BS to both.

Steel Company Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Actions! Tyber will do a run action for 60m (30m base *2 for Jump pack) to the lower building with the two heavy weapon teams, I will be one square above Varvost if my math is right. Tyber had sat on the hull of the Chimera for their trip to closer to their target zone, his mind still racing to come to terms with the warp not being what he had been taught, it was something that seemed to defy explanation. Musing to himself in the rain, he muttered “Everything can be explained, everything has to be able to be explained, yet the warp appears to defy that…” Leaning back to look up at the cloudy rainy sky he took a deep breath and forced these thoughts to the back of his mind, they would do him no good now. Now was the time to focus and put down rebels, hard. As the Chimera came to a halt, he slid off of the hull, coming to a solid rest on the balls of his feet, with a surprisingly quick motion Varvost bounded down the street towards one of the taller buildings overlooking the PDF fortification, not wanting to be left behind or leave a brother to assault the position on his own, Tyber bounded after Varvost, short hops with his jump pack to make him move faster. Thankfully the noise of the big guns, shouts and drumming of support weapons seemed to drown out the sounds of their movements; they might be able to take the building by surprise.

A.T. Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) Atratus activated his pack and launched himself skywards. Too long had they idled while the enemy moved with impunity, now was not the time to hesitate when opportunity presented itself. Run, either to the top of a building or clinging to an outcropping somewhat above to boost down towards the PDF in support of the others. Mostly for flavour - Atratus has a doubled run speed of 84m looking to come down with a wrathful descent on the rearmost horde next turn. Unless Greysight did want to be lifted up.

Mazer Rackham Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 It was not the first time he had stood out of the top of 2-12, but he certainly enjoyed the charm of slowly grinding forward on metal treads with the enemy expecting only reinforcement. Greysight and the others had broken off from the rest of them, leaving them to be an implacable iron fist, a firebase against which none could stand. Akkad locked on with his visor and the heavy bolter pushed out in front of him, to the left of the turret, hidden under which was another of the Kill-team, ready to attack with the Multi-laser. He had a good viewpoint and could see the large rabble in front of them, beyond that a Medusa siege gun. His hearts warmed to the thought of the artillery being seized by the loyalists to rain death down upon the foul traitors and mutated vermin that capered and frollicked every time a shell rattled out onto the PDF base, exploding brutally hard against the rockrete and plasteel fortress, from where so pitifully few replies issued. He relayed his view to the others. Akkad will attempt to enter Squad Mode as a Free Action. Cohesion: 9, D10 Roll: 1 Pass. Akkad is now in Squad Mode. As a Full Action, he will now activate Strongpoint, using 3 Cohesion, nominating himself as the Centre. He will Use Free Action Call target Horde in front of Chimera.

Sabaan kept his his hand above the enginseer's alcove, nudging the machine spirit, directing the flow of the Motive Force. Wiremesh simulacrum overlays on his Autosenses gave him an overview of their surroundings. Angry red dots marked the position of the enemy. The 2-12 was unimpressed or, more likely, too limited to assess the scope of possible destruction ahead. >>Blessed is the mind to small for doubt<< Did ..a... chuckle... follow the echo? The angry growl of his warplate left little doubt to the humor of his Armour at least. It was clearly looking forward to crushing squishy things beneath the tracks of the Chimera. 2-12 remained unfazed. It's idle engine gave a steady pulse of deep, relaxed plops. Sabaan closed his remaining organic eye and synchronized it with the twin beat of his own hearts.
