OOC: What? There is no strange alien ship thing (apart from the one mentioned earlier) - link please? AFAICR, we've had more than 1 page of nid killing.

What's so strange about it? It's a collaborative fiction piece and goes where it wills. If you don't like where it's going, then either send your marines to do something on their own, or gently prod the action back towards the way you want it in a plausable manner. You're part of this RP as much as anyone else, and If you want something to happen, make it happen (as long as it doesn't mess the RP up for everyone else.) You could even write the 'greeting party' mentioned by Klawz earlier. Remember also that Klawz will probably ask you to remove your post if it's too OTT, that or people will just ignore it and continue as if it hasn't happened.

@ Klawz - Where abouts are these 'unknown spaceships', how many are there, and, if it isn't too much to ask, what race are they?

[OOC] Pushy Pushy Shas....I'll get to your marines in my next post...in like 15 minutes. ^.^

Feeling guilt for wanting to leave the planet so swiftly and leave the people of this planet to die, Nikev shamefully ran into the thunderhawk along with the Nucians following him.

As they took his seats Karjewski sat beside him and seeing how he look a little shameful asked "Is something the matter Nikev?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact there is" Nikev replied " I was so eager to get us off this rock, that I did not even consider, We'd be leaving this planet and all of the Emperor's children along with it. I let my hate for the Imperium cloud my mind with the fact that The Emperor's Children still need protection."

"It is okay" She said " we all just want to get off this rock."

"But I let that overcome the fact that the servants of the Emperor are still good people."

"I think it would be wise not to talk about this anymore, less we draw attention to ourselves." Karjewski staring at a marine in the corner who was motionlessly staring right at her and Nikev.


[{OOC} Okay so I feel like I should say something in case anyone wonders why I just smack talked the Imperium a little. So if you read what I typed about my planets history than you'll know that in a time of doom, the Imperium left Nucia to die. Therefore Nucia still pretends to serve the Imperium, lest they cause a war and cause Nucia to be destroyed. SO even though technically my Character isn't an actual commissar, seeing as how I'm thought dead by the imperium. I am still called a commissar by the Guard I serve with to keep our secret hidden. And since troopers can't look up who is a commissar and who isn't while in the middle of a fight, I keep the standard commissriat outfit so I fit the bill ^.^ Hope that clarified it if anyone was like "WTF!"

OOC: You realise you're leaving without that scout you gave me? The one you said you wanted back?

Or are you just setting something up, and not actually leaving? As the only way you could leave at this point is via the 3 Imperial Battlecruisers in space. Who likely have access to lots of records, being that they are commisioned by the Imperium and all that...

[OOC] Well....as I've stated...and the whole reason for me and Vera's marines heading south is there is a Hidden Modified Valkaryie that I was supposed to use to get the Frak off the planet with. But now my departure is no pushed back, seeing as how Nikev now feels guilty for being so quick to want to leave the planet, and leave everyone and thing to die.

Plus I wasn't planning on getting out of here by any Imperial Cruiser. My guys fly with the Eldar who are forced to stay FAR AWAY due to the Shadow of the Warp.

"I AM DESTRUCTION INCARNATE!" Leroy Roared as he turned his bolter unto more leaping gaunts. As his aim steadied and he pulled the trigger, he heard the unfortunate click that signaled an empty clip. A sound only someone like Leroy would enjoy. Being out of ammo he threw his bolter with such force it outright killed the gaunt trying to kill him.

"Brother LOOK!" The fellow marine shouted pointing to a most monstrous figure charging toward them at unimaginable speeds.

"BRING IT XENOS FILTH!" Leroy shouted as his brother ran alongside him to fight the beast side by side.

As the Creature got ever closer, it began to roar a roar that would make most men flee.

As the Creature was close upon them and Leroy and his brother prepared for battle, a whining sound mixed with the crack of las-guns and screeches was becoming ever louder. Looking up Leroy spotted the source, it was a Valkyrie being ravaged by gargoyles. Snapping back into the threat at hand Leroy revved his Chainsword, only to be greeted with a buck as the chain snapped and hung loosely from the bulk of the weapon.

"DAMNED INFERNAL DEVICE!" Leroy shouted throwing his weapon down clearly ignoring the monster getting ever closer"I"LL FIGHT YOU WITH MY HANDS BEAST!"

As the Creature was upon them, It Stopped mere meters from the Marines. IT quickly shifted its bulk and began to race in the opposite direction toward the capitol.

"GET BACK HERE!" Leroy shouted picking up a gaunts dead body and throwing it at the retreating beast.

Defeated, Leroy and his brother marine decided it was best to make their way to Naruke South, Maybe they could meet up with their comrades before they left.

The Thunderhawk sped through the skies, its engines blazing with heat. It was moving at speeds most humans usually never reach and get to live to tell of it. +++We're coming up on the capitol+++ came the sound of the pilots' voice. There was a thick cloud of black smode drifting up from south-western part of the city, it looked like that was the place of the breach. Around the outside of it, the plantlife had grown uncontrollably; Arkus could even see the blackened patches where flamer teams had tried and failed to keep the plants at bay. He even once saw some sort of giant Venus Fly Trap munching on what looked like the remains of an Imperial patrol. A massive pylon, torn in half with its shattered top section lay below it. "Damn." he thought. +++Their communications tower has be-+++ "been destroyed. When did you notice that?" Arkus retorted. They circled round for another pass, trying to find a suitable landing area, when a trio of Harpies spotted them. A marine called, "hang on!" as impacts jostled the ancient vehicle. "Pilot! We do not have time to fight these beasts! Get us down there!" Arkus ordered. The machine swerved around and...
... one of the Tyranids smashed into the front of it - specifically the cockpit. The Thunderhawk swerved out of control, flying wildy downwards. It spun into the side of a civilian building, crashing strait through to the other side. It toppled over when it fell out and spun in motion as it headed for the cold, hard ground. Then a miracle happened. There seemed to be a warm glow coming from.... well, everywhere! Suddenly the craft veered painfully upwards, barely missing the ground. The engines then cut dead, and it fell the 10 metres or so to the ground with a groundshattering thump.

Opening his eyes, Nikev knew not where he was. Then like a flash flood of water, Everything began to rush back into his mind. He remembered Jansen, Vera, Leroy, the Tyrannid attack, The Mawloc, the Thunderhawk, Loud Sirens, then a massive crash.

Nikev sit in his chair unable to move, hear, or see clearly. Am I dead? He wondered to himself. Sitting there staring at the red warning lights flashing, Nikev wondered how much longer before he went to sit by the Emperor's side. Suddenly, a figure blocked the light he was look at and began shaking him. His hearing began to return ans he was able to hear "-ou! Your not dead yet!". He recognized the voice as Karjewski. As she shook him he could feel himself be able to slowly move again. As his speech returned " Did you really think this little crash could kill me?" he asked. Smiling from relief she thrusted her arms around him and squeezed. "I think we'd better go" Nikev strained to say " before this ship blows, or the Tyrannids come."

"Right" She replied "I'll go check on the others." turning to make sure everyone else was ok.

As Nikev unbuckled himself from his seat Bantine stumbled up to help him. "Sir! Two of our own are dead, Private Mani and Private Kax, they were killed by the crash. The jolt snapped both of their necks, Death was instantaneous."

"DAMNIT!" Nikev shouted as he stumbled up from his chair. "What of the Marines? Did they make it?"

"Yes sir, they left hear a few moments ago to secure the perimeter. It is best if we leave as soon as possible. The men are ready to leave as soon as you are."

"DAMNED RIGHT I'M READY " Nikev shouted getting to his feet and moving to the hatch "Let us go! We've got VENGANCE to Claim!"



[OOC] Holy crap....I'm killing my guys too fast

Nobody would mind if I attempted to put this all into one large story would they?
Has anybody already done it?

Commissar NIkev wrote:Nobody would mind if I attempted to put this all into one large story would they?

No, and No.
The ships are Tau. They have agreed to help the Imperium, in exchange for trading rights with Naruke II.

TAU!!!! my kinda ships..... must..... get..... upgraded weapons....

LAAAAAAAAAAWL! Ima kill tau. Anyway, I think with you NIkev, that makes about 3 people who are planning on articalizing this thread. But if we ever get round to it...?

Darkvoidof40k wrote:LAAAAAAAAAAWL! Ima kill tau. Anyway, I think with you NIkev, that makes about 3 people who are planning on articalizing this thread. But if we ever get round to it...?

Well I'm going to model my version into what would be a novel. Then If everyone wants I'll send it to them in a P.M. plus I will probably post chapter by chapter on a thread as a story. =/
Lol, I usually have some free time although this comming week I'll probably be a little too busy for much dakka

NOOOOOOOOO!!! there is no such thing as too much dakka!!

Well my school is having an art show and I must finish my projects and I'm in charge of the Food for the show since I did such a swell job last year ^.^ I'm supposedly in charge of it(although I can't really go all out like I would prefer with it) =/
So I may not be able to get on Dakka as Much......

@Nikev: make it into an article first, as then we can all edit for spelling/grammar etc. Also, exactly how many people do you have? I've always assumed there was about two squads of IG, but your posts make it sound like there's a lot less. Also, I've had a look at my timeline, and, according to it, you arrive on planet 10 years before the RP started. I'm a bit stuck for ideas at the minute, so could you have a go at thinking of a reason you spent 10 years on the planet? (Latest you could have arrived by is 6 years before btw)

I was going to post my next RP bit, but it's getting late so I'll do it tommorow. Until then no-one can enter or leave Naruke South, in case anyone was considering it. (Sorry Nikev, the time bubble messed up again, and you'll get frazzled if you try to go through.) The Tech-priest of Omega Company is working on it however, and will have disabled it after my next IC post.

@Dastardly Dave - I was Searching for Isha's Tear. although I had to leave the planet immediately because of some Imperial Event that happened on the planet that brought much attention that I could not let myself attain. Then, a few years later, Nikev arrived back on planet with only a small portion of what he had when he came the first time. And now we are stuck fighting Nids and not looking for the Tear.

It probably seems like a lot less because I don't mention everyone I had with me. So the run down is I came with
20 + me = 21
I have 4 squads of 5
1 squad led by me.
the characters are(just so you know)
Adjutant Bantine
Private Salmoq- you killed him
Private Urtow
Heavy Weapons Pryne
Demolisitionist Urtok - You killed him and called him a private No worries though. I'll make Private Urtow a demo spec ^.^
Heavy Weapon Loader Arnel
Vocx-caster Zyen
Scout Narko - Still being a bad-ass with you
Private Saneal - Still alive with you
Sergant Karish - Still alive with you
Medic Karjewski
Private Sanlar - He lost his leg to the Mawloc and now is considered a casualty
Sergent Ackole
Private Kex - Killed from crash
Private Mani - Killed from crash

I don't have the rest of the names as I make them up as they need to be introduced and when they die.

SO yea...I really don't have that many men although I'll be commanding larger groups with the attempt to reestablish control over the broken Capital Defenders!

OOC: Alright as no one has taken over my character as i asked I am going to write some for him.
Will write in offline 1st then post.

Jansen ducked under the flap that served as an entrance to the compound he and his squad had first arrived in. The remains of the bodies had been cleared away and a stepladder ascended to the circular hatch that connected the secret Eldar sactuary to the rest of the city. A dull glow was coming from the opening.

As he entered the circular room, the techpriest who was examining the runes on the floor looked up and nodded in greeting. Jansen was relieved to note that he was only slightly machine enhanced, with a few wires poking out from under his robes, and a single servo arm protruding from his back. A mechanium Power Axe lay on the floor nearby. As Jansen moved over to the runes on the floor, he stood up.

"Ah, another person to help me with this puzzle. It is intriuging, to say the very least." he said. Even his voice sounded relatively normal.

"I'm afraid I don't know what it is Techpriest, although I'd be happy to help" replied Jansen. Looking at the intricate web of runes on the floor however, he doubted he would be much use. All it appeared to be was a mass of eldar Runes and symbols that had been mixed in a blender then poured into a circular depression in the floor.

"Ah, well then, what it is... yes, according to my scans, it is a psyco conductive hyper matrix subtended within a progressive sigil loop. It is surrounded by a field of flux distortions and a twofold magnotranscopic debilitator."

"...and that means what, exactly?" replied Jansen, his jaw almost hitting the floor.

"bascically, it is a control unit for the field that surrounds the city. We... ah, need to deactivate it in order to send and recieve vox signals."

"but why not just leave the city? Surely once we are out we can start broadcasting again?"

"ah, thats the problem you see... the Greater Daemon caused the dampeners on the resonance bubble to catastrophically deviate, which meant the subatomic fluctuations of the time field overheated and became unstable."

"right... what??"

"It fethed up. Fortunately most of our men were inside at that point."

"Much better. What do we do with this 'puzzle' then?"

"Well, presumably we need to... er, align the pieces of the puzzle in the, ah, correct way. That should deativate the forcefield around the city."

"Do we know the correct way?"

"No."

"Great! I don't suppose there's an instruction manual either..." sighed Jansen, as he walked over to the single, circular window. He looked out over Naruke south. The green haze that had been there last time nowhere in sight. The central tower of the city could be seen clearly - the huge, gothic S in full view. A light came on in Jansen's brain.

"Techpriest, whats the Eldar Symbol for S?" he asked, as he turned towards the puzzle, scrutinising it intensly.

"That one there... ah!" the Techpriest replied, pointing towards the central symbol of the circle with his Servo arm.

Jansen looked at the city, then back at the puzzle. From what he could see of the city, it was arranged in radiating circles around the central spire - much like the puzzle on the floor. He walked over to the puzzle and twisted the outer ring around so that the symbol for the building they were in was in the right place. Then, after finding the Eldar Symbol for other buildings in the City, the puzzle gradually twisted into place. At that, there was a tinkle, as if a glass had broken above them, and the bubble melted out of existance.

A voice came in over the Vox:

+This is Captain Varton of Omega company broadcasting to all units in Naruke South - Pack your things up. We move out to reinforce delta company in 1 hour. For Cadia!+

Afi pushed his crew to the limits.
He knew what he heard.
Re-enforcements were coming And Afi Drazznik would be there to clear a landing zone for them.
He shouldn't know but long time spent hacking voxes to get local radio meant he knew.

He had re-armed and was rolling, alone, towards the nearest drop site.
Which was crawling with Tyranids.

Death did not matter to Afi. He still felt guilty from surviving his last war. The only member of his company to do so. If was his end, then so be it. It shall be a glourious end.

The tank rumbled over the plains, empty except for charred corpes pilled as high as a leman russ.

His target was in sight. Those co-ordinates better be right he thought.

Tyranids started to swarm towards him, screehing as they came. With a mighty blast, the helhammer's main cannon spoke its retort.
With that, the tyranid horde's attention was firmly on the Super-heavy tank.

"Aim the Lascannons and the Demolisher at the lager beasts, they're the ones who can do the damage" Afi yelled down the hatch at the frantic crew.
All at the same time they all pulled out a Master-crafted Solarian Cigar, Afi gift to the crew. They nodded to each other and lit them.
Afi, cigar chomped between clenched jaws, started to rain his insults upon the faul xenos.


The bodies of the masses of gaunts clogged up the battlefield. Canifexes with great chunks torn out of them lied still, unerveing even in death. But still the swarm lived. And still the swarm tried to tackle the Hellhammer.
A Tyrant emerged from the chittering horde, roared his defiance and advanced, blind guard advancing in its wake. The hellhammer bellowed its answer. The Tyrant disappeared completely.
For a momment the horde fell back, then re-doubled its efforts.

"Tervigon- Its sh---ing out gaunts at a huge rate!! 100 metres!!" Afi told the crew in the smoky atmoshere of the interior.
"FIRE!" Afi yelled pointing his chainsword at the foe. The main cannon roared its approval.
But the skies fell down in front of the tervigon. A living sky of gargoyles took the impact of the shot.
Spores rained around the tank bringing the 'nids much needed re-inforcements.

Several explosions rocked the sky.

"Left sponsons fully out of ammo sir!"
Afi felt the end was near. Just a little more he thought. Clear out a little more, make this that just a bit easier for the incoming re-enforcements.

The tank rumbled upon the horde, moving towards the tervigon. The tracks grinded over the still moving gaunts. The tracks rocked under the pressure.
A lone Carnifex advanced through the horde on the left.
The tanks protesting tracks finnaly gave up, chocked upon masses of Tyranid bodies.
The Canifex roared and charged the striken tank, Its guns still blazing all around itself, turret keeping the left flank.
The living tide swarmed upon the tank from all directions.
"OH FETH!!" yelled Afi as numberless gaunts came within the sweeps of his sword. He drew his las-pistol and began to pour shots into the enroaching gaunts.
That and the chainsword was not enough.

The carnifex's crab like claws scraped and tore at the outer armour of the hellhammer.

The gaunts, biting, slashing, spitting overwhelmed Afi. His cries and attacks becoming more feeble.

Brick pulled the veteran of many tank wars down the hatch fighting off the gaunts by taking Afi's chainsword off him. He slamed the hatch down on top of many scratching limbs. The chainsword hacking those off that could possible lift it.

Afi's wounds were many. Great gashes covered his face and blood streamed from several deep ccuts on his torso. His breathing was slow and laboured. "Thank you" he managed to say.

Valkeries newly in the atmosphere started to eradicate the clouds of gargolyes.

The carnifex managed to rip of some of thee side armour of the Hellhammer, it pushed its head inside and screamed at them.

Brick had to shout at Afi to ensure that he was heard but even then he wasn't sure.
Afi nodded to him,giving his approval, he smiled and using his better arm lit one last Lho-stick.
Brick hit the button just as the carnifex fully opened the tank.

The guard had started to drop on the flanks of the 'Nid force,. The resistance was unexpectidly light, the swarms attention seemed to be elsewhere.

The hellhammer had gaunts hacking at vision slit trying to get in. One side had a carnifex struging to get its bulk within striking
distance of the crew. The Helhammer's guns went silent.

And then it went nuclear.

Nikev Jumped down out of the Hatch of the Crashed ship and began looking for the marines. Nowhere to be found Nikev assumed they went to accomplish some task and set out with his Nucians to find some Imperials. Following the sounds of Gunfire and screaming, the Nucians came across a group of stranded Imperials who were desperately trying to fight back a large group of gaunts.

"NUCIAN!" Nikev roared "CHARGE THE XENOS!" With that the Nucians drew short swords and began charging towards the gaunts with blood on their minds, theirs or their enemies. Sergent Ornak stayed on the higher ground acompanied by heavy weapon team Pyrne and Arnel to cover Private Sanlar and Medic Karjewski.

As the Nucians reached the line of the Guardsmen they smiled as the shocked troopers looked at them with confusion as the Guarndsmen charged them with swords drawn. The Guardsmen quickly fell in line with the Nucians and began charging forward baynets fixed, screaming their own war cries. Before the Crunch Nikev noted that they were evenly matched as only around 10-16 gaunts were still left alive, He just wanted some Close Quarters to blow off his anger.

Crunch Time. The Guardsmen Smashed into the Guants and there was a fury of screams, screeches, and close quarter shooting as the guardsmen fought the gaunts. Reaching the climax of the fight, Nikev walked over the the guardsmen and asked "Who is in charge?"

Still in shock from what just happend, the trooper snapped out of it. "I am" he said, " My name is Private Vanole of the Naruke PDF. To who am I speaking to?"

"You are speaking to Commissar Nikev Sism of the Nucian Guard. We have wounded as I'm sure you do, where is your field hospital?"

"We do sir! We were heading back to HQ with information when we were attacked. The field station would possibly be there."

"Good, thank you Private. If you do not mind we will accompany you to the HQ."

The Trooper look at him with a smile " Would we mind?" He repeated, " Hell no we wouldn't mind after a witnessing that!"

As the Guardsmen regrouped, the began to head for the HQ, Wary of any lurking Tyranid trying to catch stragglers.

[{OOC} I hope you don't mind me leaving you Dark, You hadn't reposted and I was feeling like posting. Sorry I left you bud.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! VIKING SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTT!!!!!!!!

Ah well. Apparently, according to your posts, I'd already left you. oO
Afi are dead. Whatta shame :p

OOC: we shal always remember your brave sacrifice soldier..... who wants crispy chicken tasting nid?

Wow your really choked-up aren't you Dark?
(Please note the sarcasm)
Thought I'd give him as epic of an ending as i could.

Has no-one noticed the joke in the story?

OOC: erm, could it be the refference to the end of carlos from resident evil extinction? where he smoked one last joint before detonating the tanker and killing most of the zombies?

I either made that post this morning in a hurry when trying to get ready to leave for school 10 minutes after said moment, or last night when I was exhausted.

But yeah, dude, that was epic. When I was reading it, I almost thought you were gonna make it a cliff hanger and wait for someone (me) to rescue you or something, but then near the end I just thought: he's gonna nuke 'em. And I was right 'n' all. Anyway, a good end. I suppose you won't be RPing on this thread anymore, and I assume you killed Afi off because you're too busy to do so. Ah well, I think we're gonna be rapping this up in a few pages anyway. Lol, I thought it'd last longer, this RP.

And in NIkev's post, when he said noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo viking etc etc I thought he was saying:
Sorry I left you bud.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

But after my post I read it again and saw that he was actually having a mental breakdown because of your charry's pwnage death.

And yes, I got the 'joke'. I didn't notice it was anything like resident evil, but I havn't watched that in a long time, and never saw most of the last few episodes. Ah miss it :( Season 1 was awesome, as I remember. Didn't see much of the 2nd.

But the Lho-Stick thing was expected oO. Seriously, I ask AGAIN; WTF is a LHO-STICK???

A Lho-stick is the 40k equivelent of a smoke, or cigarette or whatever you want to call them.
And the joke was the fact that the cigars were master-crafted......

(Resident Evil should have stayed as a game, I found the movies and such just terrible)

Ah crap I was thinking of Primevil lol! Nah I don't watch/play resident evil. Although I know quite a bit about it from my mates. Well, not really lol but w/e :p.

I never did get the master crafted cigars bit but w/e lolz. So, question answering time now maybe?

What question?

see my second to last post before this one. I.e. will you make a new character or not and such an' such?
