Phew!

OOC: Or maybe I am *Raises and lowers eyebrows repeatedly*

"Carry on, Rephosus. Assist the Techmarine in escaping the Stormbird and give him any and all assistance he requires after that. My Basilisks will search the Stormbird for ammo and supplies. Griffins, secure the perimeter. I'll not have orks or Eldar sneaking up on us again."

OOC: Alright lads do what you will with my unconcious body, but I will be back soon. Don't make any large decisions on my character though.

OOC: Because that isn't dirty at all...

alright sir

I walk up to the stormbird seeing the techmarine laid down on a makeshift bed.

I search the tech area of the ship for a the servitor storage bays.
I find it.
The damage disabled the door so i have to tend to it first. I begin singing a hymn to the machine spirit and oil up the insides so the workings wont do worse. After a while it actually works the servitors go stand before me and with a nostalgic machine like voice say ´´My lord what do you request.´´ I send 3 of the 5 to begin repairing the ship and 2 of em to assist in building the camp and the perimeter.

After that i return to the tech marine i see he is wounded so i decide im gonna let him rest for a while.

vox channel open´´Sergeant i have activated the servitors. 2 of them are underway to you to assist in building the camp and the defences. The other 3 are here working on getting the ship operational. the techmarine is wounded so i decided i let him rest for a while.´´

OOC:hello-lo-o-o

OOC:well bye guys.

OOC: Know I'm breaking the order *gasp!* but I'm sorry that I couldn't be here modding the thread. Cruddy modem breakdown.

Anyway!

IC: Dreph opened his eyes. The haziness cleared from his eyes soon, and he focused on where he was. He could remember fighting the Eldar...

As he looked around it became more and more apparent all was not well. Strange equipment lined the room, the gentle humming of the Pride of the Emperor's engines breaking up the awkward silence. Graphs and charts were strewn around the bed. 10 minutes later Fabius Bile walked in with 2 other Apothecaries.

"Greetings Dreph. We have no time to waste..."

Hectoris stood on the hill, watching the construction of the camp. The Techmarine pilot was still unconcious, as was Dreph Kalar and Apollus Segari. The former seemed to be resting easy. Though the Sergeant of Rayven Squad was attacked by fits of bad dreams.

He had sent Griffons squad on a scouting run around the perimster. Their rhino as acting as a med bay.

He had found a stash of heavy weapons, including a magnificent lascannon and several heavy bolters and spare ammo for them, in the Stormbird's armoury bay.

Munitions were low. Weapons and armour were damaged. Medical supplies were almost exhausted. Their position was at best, lightly defended. Communications were unable to connect for more than a few moments


"Sgt, sir?" It was one of the Basilisks.
"Yes brother?"
"I found this datapad under some wrechage. It is addressed to Captain Kalar. I thought you would need to see it."
"Thank you."

"Call the marines in. We'll camp here, in the transport bays of the gunship. Set my squad on overwatch. Shift changes every 3hours. Get the Rhino on board the cargo bay, have Sgt Aloysus watch the men."

"Very good sir."

He turned to leave.
"Find me a helmet too."



He opened the datapad. There was a slight hum before it flashed on. There, standing in the bridge of his flagship, was Lord Fulgrim himself.

"My Lord..." He dropped to one knee.

y
"This is Lord Fulgrim. If this message reaches you then I assume that communications are down and contact is impossible. If Captain Kalar is wounded, or, Emperor forbid,dead, then give this to the currant ranking marine.

There was long pause before he spoke again.

"I have heard of the Eldar in the area. I fear my slaying of their god may be the reason for this attack. If my actions have brought harm to your brothers, my sons, I cannot express my grief. There will be time to grieve when the battle is done. I have a special mission for you, whoever may be viewing this. You and no more than 4 others. Choose your best men. If you accept, hit yes."

"I accept, my Lord." He press yes.

OOC

Yes, I know I am out of order, but with Blap and Joker incapacitated, and with such a piece as that, if I do say so myself, I couldn't wait.

OOC: Since everybody else is offline..

IC: Dreph listened carefully as Bile explained what had led to this. As Dreph slowly remembered the events of the battle, Bile began explaining about his quest for the ultimate marine. He asked Dreph whether he was willing to participate in an "experiment", where he had a modified gene-stock used alongside it. Dreph, his judgement still clouded by the hazy state he was in, accepted Bile's proposal.

OOC Everyone else is off.

IC

" Do you understand, my son?

"Yes sir, I understand." He switched the pad off.

He sighed. This was going to be a long day.

Name: Kole "Madeye" Markus
Position: Meltagunner of the Tactical Squad “Knights of the Basilisk”
Personality (Likes, Dislikes, etc): Somewhat clumsy, Affinity for explosives, Complains that he's not a Devastator, Dislikes heavy-lifting (reason he's not a Devastator, along with clumsiness) Often considered a loudmouth and a clown.
Background:Kole has always loved heavy weapons, especially ones that go boom. He was an obvious choice to be promoted to Devastator, before he accidentally detonated a moderately sized ammunition depot on the front lines of a Eldar invasion (The explosion was seen from orbit). After he survived the battle, he was reassigned to the "Knights of the Basilisk" as a Meltagunner which was meant to serve as both punishment (Due to Marius Aloysus' harsh leadership style) and a reward for his skill behind heavy/anti-vehicle weaponry. He is quick to make jokes (while 'Sarge' isn't looking). Many shortcomings are attributed to his unfortunate lack of luck.

vox open ''Terminator sergeant the techmarine has woken up and he is ready to begin repairs.''

The tech marine slowly got up i stood beside him good day brother of the machine.
The techmarine was a little startled because techmarines and artificers where usually outcasted because of their affinity for the machine. He spoke with a lovely half mechanical voice. ''Good day brother what is the situation.'' I explained what was going on he then replied ''Brother i thank you for helping repair the ship i will take control of repairing the ship now.''

Vox channel open.''Terminator sergeant i would like to make use of the lascannon. If i have your authorization. I dont want to improvise with our equipment like we did last time. Every time when we meet a armored enemy. Oh yeah and sergeant aloysus i found one of your men strolling around in the ship. He is equipped with a melta so i send him away so he wont accidentally do more damage. ''

OOC: sorry double post Squidmanlolz your turn is after castiels just so you know.

Yeah, just updating for Squidmanlolz....

OOC: I'm spending a lot of time on trains today. Probably won't be able to post until 7ish tonight. Carry on without me!

OOC: Deadshot in your post it says we are at the camp but the Captain is on the Pride of the Emperor? I will assume I was also transported. Just a minor fault but your doing an awesome job.

IC: Segari's body had been scanned, tested to it's limits in the eyes apothecaries. They could not seem to pin point the exact problem with the sergeant. Little to their knowledge the demon had retreated to the most impenatrable areas of his mind. Whenever he did wake he was barraged with interviews, questioning his faith, his loyalty to the chapter and his mental integrity.

Not once did Segari falter or stumble during this intense line of questioning. A chaplain began to console him, guiding him back onto the right path. Psykers were brought in to delve into him, retrieving the information by force, but nothing was found. Deemed clear of taint, he was diagnosed with mere shock from his sustained wounds.

OOC I was typing while that section was updated. I thought Blap was offline.

I will be unable to post untill later so just skip me. Do with me what you will.

Name: Magnus Malvarian
Position: The Jaded Watch ..Terminator TH/SS
Personality (Likes, Dislikes, etc):Very Tactical, with a bit of a rowdy streak. Has a very strong dislike for Eldar (Too fluffy for me) and loves to tear Heretics apart to show extra faith to the emperor.

Background: Magnus had first been called into the 9th company as a sniper/scout and was known as the "Last Space Cowboy" but after a mission where he had to sit and basically watch the entire brutal murder of a city so that he could report his findings to the company he decided to apply for a more hands on position. After being fitted with his Terminator Armor Magnus felt that he would be able to make more of a difference in the name of the Emperor. Even with the heavy armor, people have remarked that Magnus still seems to retain a good bit of his scout habits and has been known to "draw" his bolter on enemies who have made complete eye contact with him.

OOC: joker i think you should answer the question because you know your situation best xD

Vox channel open'' This is devestator brother Rephosus. I request an audition with devestator sergeant segari. Also we have secured a position where supplies can be deployed. ''

OOC: sorry for double post but now one of the new guys have their turn so show me what you got

Updated for you Cuthroat. You will post after Squidmanlolz.

OOC: Are you guys still accepting?

If so:

Sergent Antioch, head of the Griffin Brethren, he was elevated to sergent after the previous one fell in battle during a large crusade against an ork held world, he immediately took command of the squad and dealt a severe blow to the Orks when they destroyed a convoy of trukks carrying reinforcements behind enemy lines. He then pulled them out without further casualties. In memory of this victory, he took the name Antioch, meaning stubborn or resistant, the attack he made helped the forces of the Emperors Children get a foothold with which to push the Orks back. His hatred off orks is greater than that of other Xenos, or even heretics, as the loss of his former Sergent, mentor, and friend still pains him. He is quite familiar with Ork tactics and command structure, and has proven to be a very valuable asset further in campaigns against them.

NOT OOC:

After delivering the message the message to Sergent Hectoris, Antioch returned to the Rhino. He opened the vehicles communications to command vox channels.
"This is Griffin squad, Orders?"
The reply came through instantly.
"Stand by to assist local command units, receive your orders directly."
Antioch opened his vox to all local channels, awaiting further command.

OOC: Waiting for orders.

Double post, not sure how. Sorry.

OOC: Lord Magnus maybe you should give a little more of a biography, with the stuff he likes or hates a little more info about the background.

OOC: Yeah that double post thing has happened to all of us in here. I'm back btw =p

OOC: Post updated with more fluff.

Joker, Blap's offline so i think its your turn.
