Nice new entry. I have to say, I'd worried that this story had died, and it was nice to see an update.

Thanks guys for the comments and post. :thumbsups:
I must admit the fire for the story did die for awhile due to...technical dificulties, I decided to start a new project to spark my creativity once more. But after lengthy prayers to the Emperor, and a few secret blood sacrifices to the Gods, I'm back on form.
Expect things to move rapidly from here on in

Another well written entry. I especially like the opening; you really feel immersed in the underhive. The way you describe the whoosh of promethium and the tangy smell, alongside the crumbling shafts and musk of orks is nicely done. Its a vivid and thoroughly ugly portrayal of a warscape in the 40th millennium.

Regrettably there are not many descriptions of the underhives, so sorry about the vagueness. But then again, they do say you should leave something for the reader to imagine for themselves.
Thanks for the comments guys.

Well, its fitting that the Chapter where the Panther's Claws finally turned on itself is Chapter Thirteen. The entry is well written; the fight between Detrus and Agathon, and their interactions seems very real. Its a pity that Detrus had to die; say what you will about his quality as a ruler, but he was a fun character to watch.
The only complaint I have is how easily Andreas steps down. He's a stern and loyal man, one who values honor more than sanity. It feels kind of abrupt how quickly Agathon talks him into standing down, especially when the two were just insulting each other, and Andreas probably isn't very receptive at the moment. The scene might flow better if Agathon kills Andreas instead, but that would raise a different problem; Agathon doesn't like killing his brothers, and even when he kills Detrus, he does it in the highly honorable way of Vindicetis. For him to just kill Andreas for guarding a door, Agathon wouldn't seem very honorable after all.
Ah well, maybe I'm thinking too much about it. Either way, the Chapter is nicely written.

He was a fun character to write, but alas,  he had to die for the Panthers to stand some chance of weathering the storm soon to break as the Space Hulk arrives in orbit. But dont worry, there is something brewing between Ateus and Agathon.
Thank you LoneLictor for cutting right to the source of my troubled thoughts,  I too felt Andreas gives in rather too easily for my liking as well. And he knew that he had to give challenge honorably to regain his after what Detrus did to him.
I need to stretch out the moment at the door with Andreas and Agathon, but as you could tell the thought never came.  I will stretch it by giving Andreas more lines with thought speech to explain his actions.
Think away, cheers LoneLictor.

Excellently written.
This kind of reminds me of what happened after Caligula's death. He was killed by his own Guards, but they had no idea who should replace him. They just killed him because he needed killing. Of course, it doesn't have a happy ending.
In the chaos following Caligula's death, a mentally ill and very paranoid man named Claudius was appointed. Then Claudius was poisoned and died, and Nero, who was literally a serial killer, took the throne.
Hopefully things won't go that badly for the Panthers Claws.

No Madmen allowed, though Marinus is doing a go job of starting where Detrus left off. I mean what the hell is he thinking dividing the chapter at a time like this.

He thought it would be better than a las bolt to the head so he could meet the Emperor with his head held high. But I agree.
It seems the two sides of the chapter have come to blows. Should be interesting. I say this because even I don't know what happened. Someone probably got caught wearing someone elses favourite tank top again.
