Deathwatch: Murderers in Black (IC Thread)

[Machine God]

Asterius:

 

"My Lord Godfrey, I will secure the perimeter in case there is, Trouble."

 

He moved to the shadows away his charge for comms. 

 

 

+++Beta. Haste. Extract data+++

 

On secure link he sent the Shuttle co-ordinates to the Extraction Squad.

Omoc

 

As Asterius moved to concealment so Omoc moved to secure the entrance. This one would know the location of priority targets and escape routes that they might yet intercept their prey before they can reach their ships.

Azadth:

 

The voxline came alive with a brief report from Asterius, and the evacuation rendezvous co-ordinates. Yet the chaos and confusion would serve to mask a lot of sins.

 

+Brothers, there is potentially vital intelligence to be secured. Should we raid the Administration office to sequester it?+

[Lysimachus]

OOC: Just adding this as a bit of clarification of what is happening in space above you…

 

 

Even as you begin to move in response to what is happening, a momentary buzz of static in your ears tells you that Vora is making contact with your unit on a secure line.

 

+++Lucifer, Vora. I have picked up a coded transmission from the Supremacy through the long range comms, relaying the signal now.+++

 

After a pause, the gruff voice of Commander Ibrym can be heard:

 

+++Lucifer, Ibrym. I am afraid our presence has been detected. Long range scans suggest that most of the vessels around the gas giant have started to power up, presumably making ready to flee.

 

We have been engaged by Eldar vessels, hit and run attacks by a pair of escort - perhaps light cruiser - weight ships. Nothing to worry the Supremacy, we have driven them back whenever they get too close, but it is slowing us down somewhat. If our rate of progress remains the same, Helm estimates four hours until we make orbit. The colours and iconography of the Eldar ships match those of the corpse you brought up from Dorghra. The Silver Serpents are definitely here. Ibrym out.+++

 

These vessels are almost certainly the ‘raiders’ that Bouchard just spoke of, so it would seem that the ‘Prince Kal’li-nath’ he mentioned must be the master of the Eldar mercenaries?

 

Vora's voice breaks back in after Ibrym's transmission ends.

 

+++Orders, my Lords? Several shuttles have already left… although no Eldar craft that I have seen. Should I do anything to stop these cowards from fleeing?+++
