*Vantrava looked at the command map in his leviathan. He and his regiment along with The tau, the Ousians, the space marine chapter sons of the Dragons chapter, and the single blood angel remaining. Vantrava was heading the campaign into the swamps due to his stealth regiment. The Ousians were his experts though when it came to the swamps. He trusted their judgment more than his advisors. He had Larkson at his side as the ambassador of the Ousians. He was very knowledgeable about how to navigate the swamps. He also had Kais and Mont`yr at his side despite the complaints of heresy from the upper command structure. He cared little for them. So he ignored them. Vul'tan was also with him. He was the captain of the 7th company so he provided some advise too. Vantrava didnt like him. He never like space marines. They always assumed they were better than humans. Vantrava would rather have a squad of guardsman then a squad of space marines. He had on multiple occasions killed traitor marines when they laughed in his face about him being a lowly human. But Vantrava lived with it though. He had full control anyways so the captain could go to the warp for all he cared. "Alright Larkson give me a full report on the Ousians progress", Vantrava said. "The Ousians are moving right along your regiment sir. They are also ready for anything", replied Larkson. Vantrava nodded to him and looked back at the command table. His regiment and the Ousians were blue triangles, the tau were orange triangles, and the space marines were green triangles. He had most of the space marines back to guard the rear. He had fought the tyrinid too many times to not forget the massacre of the 500th regiment of Armageddon. He also had the tau in the center. They were best fitted there if they were attacked. Vantrava walked into the adjoining room to grab his gear. He picked up his custom sniper. He had taken it from a long dead vindicator assassin. It was different than the standard in the fact that it shot a psi-bolt that is stopped by nothing but two meters of admantium. The only down side is that it took a minute to reload. But it compensated for that with a clip of 15. The stock was hand fitted so it was held by the stock and a pair of legs. He also picked up his custom bolt pistol. It was gifted to him from the Salamander chapter. It was named the Hammer of Vulkan. It shot a bolt round that caught fire in the air and exploded on contact. He only used it on tyrinid due to their weakness to fire. He walked back into the command room and signaled for every combat personnel to follow him. They complied and they came to a vehicle bay where a Chimera sat. They all got on it. The gate in front of the transport opened and the Chimera shot out of it to join up with the forces ahead.*

Alright scrazza i got to get off.

.so i want you to lead for me until tomorrow. Thanks

Larkson, dredging through the swamp, led his platoon forward. Where Vantrava was, he didn't know. He had orders to link up with 3rd company at the fishing town called Herod. Herod was positioned right in the middle of the swamp, and they just had to follow the trail of the river. Larkosn's platoon was the tip of 5th Company, already one and a half miles ahead. the swamp was thick, just like back on Ousia. he dreamed of his homeland, hunting gator with his father. But something bad would happen. Larkson could read the swamps, and things did not bode wel.

**Mordoskul**

OOC: May I have my post, please?

Arken Vul'taan does not hate guardsmen. He thinks they are loyal and thats all that matters. He thinks all who are loyal are just as good as each other. This does rouse arguments with some captins in the chapter. Espically the 1st comapny captin.

"Sad new. The Warlord will not be making the battle field. Use else where." Came across the vox.
"It would be no use here any way." Replied Arken.

The reader flared to life, giving a squawk of binary code, that Severus collected and interpreted. Pointing towards the muck of the nearby swamp, he spoke in his flat, emotionless voice; "We are near, come, we shall excavate it." The servitors trundled forward as Severus scuttled forward on his thin limbs, followed by the stormtroopers. Entering the sucking mire, Severus cut a path through a tangle of vines with a plasma torch, allowing the servants of the Inquisition passage. His mind abuzz with bursts of chaotic scrapcode, Severus stepped in the direction of the find. A crater had been blasted into the ground, now filled with swamp water, yet still alive with an arcane scent. Searching about for several minutes, Severus closed his steel fingers around a lump of blue stone, his body filled with newfound energy. "Yes! It is here! Commence excavation!"

*Vantrava was laying down, camouflaged. He took aim through his sniper and fired. A little puff went off and then a tyrinid warrior fell. It had only been a stray. Vantrava`s vox sound then. "Sir we`ve got activity on the southeast portion of the swamps. Repeat activity on southeast edge." Vantrava sent an automated response back. He then got up from his position and moved away. He was still cloaked but he could be seen by his squad as they followed. He was moving for the southeast edge. He had to know what was going on. The possibility of scavengers enraged him. He wouldn't stand for cowardly abandoners. He had already lost a 5% of his regiment due to cowardly abandoners. The other regiments were a lot higher. He saw his chimera waiting to pick him up. He uncloaked and walked up the ramp into the cargo bay. He walked into the driver room and said, "Alright get me to the southeast edge, ASAP". The driver nodded and Vantrava re-entered the passenger hold. The chimera took off into the swamp at full speed.*

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

(Sorry for not posting for a while, but can I just be brought up to date with where Kais and Mont'yr is?)

**yeroc500**

*Vantrava dismbarked from the chimera and activated his camo. He moved up through the swamp to his scouts. "Sir, it looks like a inquisitorial group", the scout replied. Vantrava nodded and moved up to look. It sure was. Vantrava moved forward slowly. Making no sound. His camo looked flawless. But the mechanical beast he saw come into view saw him for what he was. A auto-cannon openned up on Vantrava and he dodged out of the way and pulled out his pistol. He was agile despite the slightly bulky armor. He took cover behind a nearby tree. The tree started to tremble as the auto-cannon hammered rounds into it. Vantrava knew he needed to move. He turned his camo off and activated a back-up system reserved for times like this. He ran. He was practically a blur. He got up close to the retinue, which had takin up positions in cover. Vantrava came up behind two stormtroopers and shot both. They flopped over dead. Incinerated from the inside. Vantrava picked up one of their las-carbines and fired on the other two troopers. One of them was clipped on the shoulder and spun. The other took a direct shot to his face and was knocked to the ground with no head. The thing`s auto-cannon finally refound Vantrava. Vantrava shot the auto-cannon brace through the brace. It fell off with a sloshy clump. The thing then pulled something out. It projected a inquisitorial rosette. It wasnt the normal though. It was the special condition rosette. Vantrava had only seen it once before. He flashed back to his time with Gideon Ravoner & Eisonhorn those many years ago. He remembered the inquisitor and what had gone down. He pushed that away and approached the inquisitor. "Thank you human for thuroughly decimating my team", the inquisitor said. Vantrava snorted. The inquisitor`s voice was a metallic voice box. He hated the mechanically altered. Granted he had a prostetic arm but it was the most basic version. He cared little either way. "Inquisitor you better have a good reason to have shot at me. I`m not afraid of you either. I`ve killed one of you before. So dont get any idea`s that i wont again. Now explain yourself", Vantrava replied. Vantrava noticed a group of gun servitors move into the area. Each one was shot three times each. Vantrava would have to thank his scouts for that.*

OOC:

Alright mordo you can start joining in i`ve got you introduced into the story.

**Mordoskul**

"Your presence has made matters complicated. You have attacked my retinue and destroyed my servitors, you even had the gall to sever my weapon arm. By Inquisitorial doctorate, it is within my authority to lay waste to this world, killing every living thing that resides here. But I am in a merciful mood. As payment for this attack, I will take your arm and whatever cybernetic enhancements your men may wear. I require that my servitors be replaced using the flesh of those of your team that do not possess bionic parts. That is my one and only offer. Choose well."

**yeroc500**

IC:

*Vantrava wasnt stupid. He recognized the figure was so very slowly pulling out something. He also knew that a inquisitor with special condition couldnt call for help. He took a chance. "No", he flattly said. The inquisitor looked at him the same as before. It started to click. Vantrava wasnt disarmed. He knew that it was laughter. He than realized the thing it held was a pistol. He dodged out of the way as 10 bullets wizzed into the dune behind him. The thing still laughing retreated after picking up its auto-cannon. Vantrava made to run after him but something caught his foot. He looked down and saw something he wished he hadnt.*

OOC:

Oh one more thing what chaos god do you worship. I need to know. Thanks.

The mighty scream of a jump-pack was heard as the black clad marine soared into the foray. the only colors being the red Xes that adorned his armor like warning signs to those that would look upon him.

"FEED ME!" he roared through his helm's vox. It's beaked shaped with that of the jump-pack made him look like a vengeful bird of prey.

"I THIRST! SATISFY ME!" He roared again as he began to let loose with bursts from his multimelta at anything that moved.

At this moment one could tell that "the red thirst" had taken over him and he had almost zero control of his actions. And like a bad movie it played and he watched from inside, his conciousness hiding away what was left of his humanity like shielding an infant from a storm.

**Mordoskul**

OOC: Severus worships no god, but has no qualms about using dark magick and forbidden technology to complete his goals.

*Vantrava`s second in command, Corbec, heard the harsh roar from the space marine. He looked up and saw it as it came flying down on its jump-pack. Corbec signaled for his men to move up and supress the marine when he landed. The group of dragons that were there discussing plans also went into action. The marine landed and ran at Corbec who was the only one the beast saw. Corbec didnt flintch as the angel was tackled by two dragons and a group of guardsmen. The marine struggled. He kicked a guard off and he flew a ways. Then the marines were able to chain him together. Corbec frowned about the whole ordeal. He couldnt figure out why the colonel kept this marine. Corbec walked over to the vox. He was about to vox Vantrava when he felt a rumbling. Suddenly three malwoc`s flew up from the ground. Corbec instantly gave orders. Ten squads who were present about to be sent in support of a light engagement up at the front burst into action. Corbec watched as the beasts lashed at anything that moved. Corbec dived out of the way as a claw stuck into the ground where he just stood. Corbec fired his las-long. It blew the claw off. The malwoc roared and attacked corbec vicously. Larkson moved up with his platoon and fired apon the malwoc nearest them. He fired his las-gun on full auto. The thing roared. It was laughter probably because the las-guns did nothing to its armor. Larkson then pulled out his shotgun and ran at it. *Meanwhile* Vantrava saw a daemon. It was ugly. He recognized it as a bloodletter of khorne. The fiercest of the daemon spawned infantry. He shot it with his pistol, but it only enraged it more. The wound healed up as fast as it appeared. It lashed out with its greatsword and Vantrava used the rest of his reserves to kick it off before it landed the hit. He got up and ran back to his lines. The scouts already had started shooting the abominations. He holstered his pistol and pulled out his sniper. He shot the closest bloodletter through the head and it twisted and crunched until it was banished back to the immaterium. It took the group 2 minutes to finally kill the rest. Vantrava looked at the 10 causilties. He`d kill that rogue. He gut him out. Vantrava then ran in the direction that the inquisitor went.*

OOC:

K thanks for answering.

Veshuma's jump-pack ignited with a mighty burst; shoving him through his assailants allowing him to wrestle an arm free and get a hold on the chainsword that was still on his hip.
Around the same time that the roar of it's engine began so did the screams of it's victims; the monomolecular edges of the teeth shearing through flesh and armor with ease, severing life and limb around him.
From the dust arose the blackened figure, covered in mud and bathed in blood. He seemed calm, aware of his surroundings.

*Vantrava rides up to the camp and finds it a mess. Three Malwoc`s lie dead on the ground slowly burning. A pyre is also burning the dead guardsmen. He utters a prayer to the almighty emperor and walks to his cammand Leviathan. He notices that the starts to move the second he gets on. Good he thinks as he walks to the command center. Vul'taan is sitting there impatiently. He looks pent up. His helmet has a nice gouge in it. "Where`d you get that", Vantrava asks? "Your blood angel", he spat back. Vantrava had gotten the report that the blood angel had killed 5 and wounded 7. Among them was a space marine. He moved on to look at the command board. It didnt look good. A huge force had engeged Larkson`s regiment. He moved a few regiment markers up to the lines to support them and then went to go and get aboard a waiting bike to get to the front lines where he was needed most. Vantrava reached the front lines. It was bad. The tyrinid were piles several high and a big amount of guard were dead. Vantrava moved up to the line with his bolt pistol in hand and came across a straggle of 501st guardsmen. They saw him and instantly had renewed vigor. They started to burn the corpses of the tyrinids. He ordered all the squads on the line to do that. All along the line the bodies started to burn and turn to ash. Suddenly a huge wave of tyrinid flooded out of the swamps ahead, but was cut apart by a group of slime covered humanoids. The things withered under a torrent of las-fire. The wave broke off. Vantrava saw a huge creature (probabily a synapsas creature) retreating. He realized that the creature was smarter than the other tyrinid. The group in the swamp moved back to the lines. Vantrava spotted Larkson. The boy had aged in the week since they had frst met. Vantrava waved at the Lt. and Larkson approached. "Soldier, that was spectacular work. I see that you`ve takin to command. And that your commanders replenished your numbers", Vantrava said. Larkson nodded and replied,"Yes, Sir. I have a 39 man platoon now. And we`ve been holding off sice we got here, so i`ve got the hang of it now. "Good that means you`ll lead your troops to victory. Now go get some supplies and sleep", Vantrava responded. Larkson nodded and signaled for his squad to follow and they all left. He keyed his vox, "Kais i need tau to come and entrench themselves behind the main line. We need the firepower".*

OOC:

Alright templar just start rping you`ll enventualy meet up with Morduk. And thanks for joining.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

IC:

Kais heard a voice coming up in his helmet's communications.

"Kais I need the Tau to come and entrench themselves behind the main line. We need the firepower."

"Of course, I#ll get as many Warriors as I can into the hammerheads to join you, allong with myself. Mont'yr will stay here with the rest to help guard the camp. He is being a little stubborn in regards to him as the Shas'O. He says I should be it. Anyway, we're going to head off now. Kais out."

They we're going to fight again. Well, this would mean more casualties for his forces, which he didn't like in the slightest. But, after this, soon, they may be able to leave this planet, as long as he can build up a strong communications, they might be able to contact some of his ships out in space. It would take time, but it would mean salvation for all of his warriors, and for the Humans.

*"Ok thank you Kais", Vantrava spread out his command chart and glanced at it. They had sustained little causulities. He was happy about that. He looked at his regiment lines and marveled at his major`s work. He also glanced at Larkson`s company. They were fairing good. They were slowly hunting down the tyrinid cells here and there. They were excelling now that they were in the swamps. Vantrava had requested them for that reason. He voxed Larkson to confirm the map, "Larkson come in is everything all right"? "SCRRRRRRRRRRRr........... No sir........ attacked by.......... the tyrinid are........... us. Requesting........... sir.", The com went dead.*
