(Suppose )

"I am not sure about what I should do. I could stay here and command the attack on the Dark Eldar, but I would much rather go down there and destroy it."

(the rank pirel was given is likely a ceremonial rank as of right now and will be suggested for captain if he survives. Thats my understanding.)
What weapons do I get?

(Power Sword and Twin linked Bolter )
"You could prove a valuable assist Shas'O but we require a leader to attack the Dark Eldar."

"Agreed. I will stay here, and command the attack upon the Dark Eldar, while Marius, Mikal, and Pirle, with the Farseer and his forces go down to destroy that artifact."

I turn to Mont'yr (my NPC by the way ).

"Get them a transport," I order, turning back to the strike team. "Good luck."

(So I now have 2 power swords, a storm bolter and a flamer?)

(You don't have to use all of them )
The Tau nods and walks over to a group of pilots while a Tau Fire Warrior rushes over to Shas'O
"Shas'O Dark Eldar craft are deploying nearby."

(oh just give him a master crafted power sword)
(allthough tbf Pyriel i was the one who carried the RP... jks)

Marius looks up to the hulking battlesuit that is now the Shas'o, "The diversion needs to be swift but we have to be right on its tail, i suggest we all take fighters down to the surface rather than a shuttle, the Dark Eldar will intecept a shuttle bt if we are jsut more fighters then we will probably escape unnoticed, and even if they do see us, well then were in fighters arnt we? we fight, everyone here has had basic training in the fighters of our own race, however each guardsman is going to have to ride shotgun with a marine, as i understand it you dont get training unless your in the navy, am I right Mikal?"

"on that point, Myself Mikal the Shas'o and the farsser should get to the planet as fast as possible, the others should cover our desent, as much as i dont want to leave my brothers behind i dont see much choice, but if can all get down together then i will leave noone behind", he looks at Pyriel", You should take a valkyrie with a driver and a squad, we will need assistance and i trust you will find some?" Turning to Mikal "Your riding shotgun we me brother, we will make their skys run red, ill need you un gun systems, i can pilot, but i cant shoot as well"

Marius watches from the bridge as the burning Super Carrier begins to crash onto the planet bellow as it's engines fail and the remaining crew lose control of the Carrier and attempet to escape via Drop Ships and fighters while most are shot down by over eager Dark Eldar fighters and craft. Sections of the flaming ship begin to detach and become smaller craft. A single dropship however escapes and outmanuvers the Dark Eldar ships.

(so im just gonna die because i wont get any reinforcements?)
"brothers follow me and use those flyers use the rite of ignition and then the rite of use so we can use them when we are safe we are going to destroy them after we set their machine spirits free.

(They don't have Machine spirits since they're not Imperial craft.)
The Marines find it difficult to pilot the Alien craft at first but soon adapt to the strange craft.
"Were do we land Argosh?"

Marius notices the craft and turns to the shas'o, "Have your men escort that ship into the hangar general, i will meet it personally, it is time for me to test my new weapon"

Mikal watches the decent of the Super Carrier on the screen and breathes an air of contentment.

"Good riddance." He says under his breath. He watches as the dropships are shot down by the dark eldar craft and watches with interest the one dropship that outmaneuvers the others and evades its predators.

"Now I wonder who could be flying that?" The thought reminds Mikal of Argosh, he wonders if the captain is alive, if he is then he may prove to be a hindrance to the current mission.

"Does any unit in this fleet have the current or maybe a last known position of Captain Argosh's Salamanders? If he is left to his own devices, his band of renegades may prove to be an issue to mission security."

Marius holds up a hand, "No mikal they will not be an issue to security, not so long as i am here. You will have to trust me on that brother"

Mikal shrugs and defers to Marius in the matter.

"As you wish Brother, but know that I remain wary to that traitor and his lot."

Mikal looks around the room at those present.

"If there are no objections, I suggest we get this plan underway immediately, scramble the transports and the fighters, lets bring another victory home for the Emperor."

Marius nods, "Mikal stay here, these men need to see the face of the imperium in one who they have not met, you will see everything through my helmet feed. If needed i will allow them their wish to meet the emperor, but only if I deem them traitorus."

Marius moves through the ship towards the hold, when he gets the he waits for the ship.

(Wait, whats going on? I could swear I was staying on the ship to coordinate the attack on the Dark Eldar? Oh well, I'll just help destroy the artifact )

The super carrier ploughed into the surface planet like an iron fist. Megatonnes of burning wreckage crushed hundreds into the dust in a single, earth shuddering moment.
Ythiril returned to the Corsair escort. The Imperial fleet was repositioning itself to face the new threat. But Ythiril was needed to lead the Reavers into battle.

The Archon of the Obsidian Rose, rose too prominence not through prowess in the arts of war, or the brute suppression of the weak , but by constantly emerging victorious in the convoluted game of intrigue of the Dark city. He is a poisonous serpent in word as well as deed. Archon K'Shai was a true monarch. He boarded his personally Raider too lead the assault on the unfortunate planet bellow. His court held 5 Eldar from the order of Incubi. Each of these are the most proficient killers who, despite their prowess as dualists, scorn a fair fight. Led by D'Shorn the Klaivex, the greatest among them. He goes too battle with an incredibly rare Bloodstone*. Forged from the broken soulstone of an Eldar exarch, it can boil the enemy's blood with a single pulse of energy.

Ythiril donned his atmospheric gear. He rose his Glaive and signalled for them to move out. The hanger was filled with screams and bloodoaths as the drug fueled Eldar gave their reply. The reaver jetbikes were powered into life, The whole ship echoed with the screatch of engines.

OOC Wait, so im supposed to stay in space? Im running out of space vocabulary!

i look where the imperial fleet is going to and follow them.
(the mechanicus things every machine has a machine spirit but those of the xenos and heretic are heavily mutilated or tortured. thats why we set them "free")

(I already have a master crafted power sword and i will stay in my artificer armor.)
I ready my 2 swords and other weapons for the attack on the world.

The Dropship crashes into the Hold of the Tau ship as it begins to loose control , its doors burst open to revel Chaos Marines armed with a variety of Heavy weapons. They begin to spread out and begin to take aim at Marius.

Dark Eldar fighters and craft enter the planets atmosphere , the planet is white and frozen with a massive temple structure that is covered in ice and strange Daemonic statues that dot the temples. The ruined remains of the Super Carrier are still burning but allow the Daemons to escape.

The Imperial Fleet begins firing on Argosh's group of fighters destroying several with its fire power.

++++[comlink request]++++
"imperial forces stop firing and killing us, we request to come aboard. and we request an audiance with the high marshal we will destroy the fighters when we are on the ship but please stop shooting."

[You have been deemed Heretics and Renegades by the Inquisitor who you killed , you will be purged and removed before you can stop us.]
The Imperial and Tau ships continue to fire upon the Salamander ships.

[please stop if you want to kill us then do it personal just let us talk to the high marshal you can chain us as you wish but just let us talk to him because we are on a crusade of redemption

[We care little for that traitor , continue to beg if you wish. The Dark ones may even take pity on you after we're finished.]
The Imperial ships unleash a hail of fire on the Stolen fighters destroying two more.

"then let us redeem ourselves as martyrs for we are believers in the emporer. may the emporer still have a place for us next to his throne. as i last wish for me and my company i want you to send this to chapter master tu'shan."
i send him an highly incripted package containing all the data feeds in my personal computer in my helmet. and i also include this conversation in it.
"please do it in name of the emporer."

[You're chapter will not be contacted you fool , why would we and why aren't you dead yet ha ha. You're heretic chapter will burn for its crimes and so will you.]
Another fighter explodes into a pile of debris

The skies wrenched open, through a storm of briliant light, the Dark eldar craft entered the atmosphere. Skimmers soared over the ice covered surface. Ythiril led his men to the east of the temple, while the majority of sleek craft headed straight down, following the tau craft.
