**Evaelc**

He would be the SOB in the corner killing us off before we do anything. *glare*

RAGE!!!!!!
Catos i think his name is.

**Ledabot**

Don’t worry. my great fluff and background will help us. Btw. that background was written during maths class long before this rpg was created so it’s not designed to be op.

**Evaelc**

oh great. so when the necrons flay us alive youll be able to give them your life story. real helpful.

**Ledabot**

No, my chase history which includes the fact that we are dedicated to preserving planets with valuable minerals that are required to continue the fight for the greater good. In other words, my friends are coming.

**Evaelc**

Uh-Huh... well we're doomed.

**Ledabot**

not if we have a cave!

**Evaelc**

yay not only are we going to die. I'm going to die in a cave next to you. F**KN A

See ya stuff to do.

**Ledabot**

Well you hope so. I could really be anyware. I’m indevisable for the scenery when I’m invisible. It really is fun messing with your mind

**Mukkin'About**

Another rpg where the GM has mysteriously dissapeared? did I write all that for nothing?

**Ledabot**

not that. nobody has made a guard charactor so there army is not in the campain yet. the exception is nids,. there are nids but i think it would be a bit hard to make a charctor since the way they think is so diffrent.

**Mukkin'About**

I could always change. I don't think it would be too hard to play nids as you could easily be an entity like the swarmlord or old one eye
And you know, having considered some of the other character bios, mine is seemingly WAY over-written!

**Evaelc**

where is this bloody GM? Do we need another?

**Ledabot**

I would be gm. Im here heeps. Problem is, i like my charactor.

Edit: I would try not to be biased.
I may also be slightly lacking in fluff. People that know about their factions may attempt to interfear on an event based on the fluff.

But of corse. Catos is the gm so taking like this is kinda sad.
It is 10:20am after all.

**Evaelc**

I think that would be cool however you would just have to be careful and not be biased towords tau players.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

I would normally go with what Ledabot is saying about the whole cave thing, except do you remember what happened when one of his space marines fell down the whole or whatever and got consumed by the darkness.
So if we do go to the cave we won't be able to go in it anyway because Catos blocked up the cave with a boulder.

**Catos**

Sorry guys I have been a long time but I kinda had absolutely no time at all coz my school found out how to block this site. I am accessing this through my teknikal no-wots and stuff. P.S. Dont insult me or things will go bad for you.

All Tau Players: You find a reasonably sized cave enough to fit your small band of survivors. Outside you manage to get some signal to the nearest sept world As'kroa. They agree to send reinforcements. You have a free choice as to what to do.

All Space Marine Players: Your drop pods land in the earth near where the Ultra vs. Cron fight is occouring. The space wolves land to the north of the crons, the salamanders to the east, the PofO to the south and Ultra reinforcements to the west. the crons are in the center. You have a free choice.

All Chaos: Some Ultra ships go down but they are putting up a fierce fight. Some of your ships go down to "accidental" friendly fire due to a cruiser captain with very high standards. He is swiftly taken care of. You also have a free choice.

Thingamagica: Hurry up and post or something bad will happen to some of your necrons (idiot wars episode 5 coming soon...)

Seeing as some one (evaelc) doesn't like my gming you will now always have free choices as to what to do. Anyone else clever enough to call me an SoB will have a fun time clearing up the mess created when I go into evil mode. You have your first warning.

**undivided**

Now, where are my reinforcements? (Typhus should be here by now, as he is a good fleet commander, hmm. Nurgle be praised, may his welcoming arms guide his Herald's way. )

**Mukkin'About**

(well that's a relief! I'm glad that your absence was explainable, and thank you for clearing it up! I was really looking forward to joining in on the roleplaying!)

Brother Captain Rasmus disembarked from his drop pod amidst the ranks of his honour guard, relaying messages to the tactical squads and the Revered Ancient Zeth who had landed in response to the summons of Lord Macragge. He was tasked with the mission of securing the planet from the xenos, so that it's mineral wealth could be harnessed for the Imperium. He knew that it would come at high cost, and he disdained the thought of losing any number of his men in battle. However he was of the Astartes and on this stage his men would bring glory to his chapter and The Emperor!

He briskly began co-ordinating his men, ordering auspex readouts of the topography for signs of the origins of the Necron threat. He was well aware of what the necrons could do if they were not stopped before fully roused from their slumber!

He ordered the the tactical squads under his command to take defensive positions with Ancient Zeth, and hold back the necron threat from the southern perimiter until the source of the Necron threat could be ascertained. Perhaps warriors of metal weren't the only secrets under the soil of this planet! He signalled the strike cruiser that should the need arise armoured support would be necessary and was to be prepped for the eventuality.

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

I will make sure I have a secure connection before contacting all space marine forces to get a report on thier status and so we can discuss what needs to be done in detail.

Then I will tell all Tau forces to make this a secure location and to build an HQ. The Tau ships will be happy to give us the supplies and equipment we need seeing as now I am the Shas'O.

Ledabot and Evaelc you can do what you like, but for now I advise we get a secure status (basically we need o be ready to defend our bas enad we need a secure location to run orders etc.)

**Vulkan_He'stan**

Argos dismounted the drop pod along with the companys command squad. the terminator squad teleported from the thunder hawk to planet level along side them
he was getting signals from a tau commander plan toghether.the rest of the company droped in a few moments later.
preator the vetran terminator and lok the devestator captain met to disscus a battle plan.
they had heared there were other chapters on the planet. they could all co ordinate but the salamanders were here for a different reason, to find the next clue in finding there primarch

**blood reaper**

"Destroy the Ultramarines Eternal glory for Syrath!"

**Ledabot**

Ok. Me and my squad will begin posting gun drones around the perimiter if the base, this is not so much to detect intruders as to have a good way of keeping them busy while we get a force to intersept them. My squad will deply two each giving us about 16 drones hidden and pertroling the perimiter.

Apon completing this task, I will return to the new HQ.

**Evaelc**

First off i want to apoligize about all of that. I did really bad in my chem test and had nothing to do the whole day. It was innapropriate and childish. It will not happen again.

Anyway if its all good with you other tau guys...

I will rally all the able bodied warriors and organize them in to teams that shall patrol the surrounding area. special note so idiot wars episode 5 doesn't happen. I tell them to exercise extreme cautions on these patrols and stay within radio range so that the moment anything happens that is even slightly out of the ordinary they can contact us. Also on these patrols they are to survey the surrounding area so that we can find out more about our surroundings. This will help us to find defendable positions and mayube even a better place for HQ. After all of this i will personally check how long; rations, weapons, ammo and other stuff like that will last. After all of this i will return back to the Shas'O with a detailed report.

**Ledabot**

Um, we had to write a report???

O well.

Btw, if drones are pertroling, whey are you sending out fws?

**Shas'ui T'au Kais**

No you did'nt have to write a full report. I as Shas'O ordered all forces to give me an updated report on thier status so I can issue new orders. Also I wanted all players that were sm and Tau to give me ideas on what we should do in the BIG picture. Don't worry you don't have to like write a history report for 200 words or anything

**Evaelc**

No... Virtual sorry i really have to pay attention.

**Catos**

All Tau: Your scout teams secure an area roughly three miles westward. No interesting things to report apart from a small sized but incredibly powerful energy reading.

All Marines: You secure your current area and make a heavily fortified position. However, Necron Phalanx advance in your direction, Shooting as they go, nearly three salamanders and six space wolves go down in the onslaught of gauss fire. They do however, seem to ignore the Preators of Orpheus for now. (Argos) The tome of fire locates an energy reading due east of your current location, small in size but very powerful.

Undivided your reinforcements arrived ages ago.

Arkolis you attack the Ultra fleet with all your might but they still manage to withstand your attack.

**undivided**

All fleet assets under my command will now attack the Ultramarine fleet and support any vessels of the Warriors of Syrath. Prepare torpedoes and ready the cannons; All Infidel and Idolator class raider battleships, fire at will.

**Vulkan_He'stan**

afeter finding the energy reading. argos and the 3rd company decided to fall back to the reading for tactical defences and to find the clue
leaving the drop pods to self destruct when the necrons are near.
