Nikev pressed his finger against the data slate. A holographic projection of Maverick Appeared.

"Commissar Nikev. If you can hear this, Commander Coc0 has completed his mission, and you are listening to this recording."

The hologram took out a pipe, and began to puff away.

"I'm sure you're wondering what I have to say."

The hologram looked at the floor.

"This is a message of warning, Commissar. Shas'O Vera is not the sort of man one can readily contain. There are powers... Dark, dark Powers contained within him. You, and all your men, and all the members of your council, are in grave, grave danger. The sheer presence of Vera causes men to go insane, corrupts them to the Thruster Cause."

The holo-Maverick looked at Nikev now, directly in the eye.

"I tell you this not because I an defecting, but because enemies..." Maverick paused. "have a common courtesy towards each other."

"I feel it is my duty to warn you of the imminent danger of all your leaders and deities. I have refrained from sending strike vessels to your world, that is my sign that my word is the truth."

Maverick turned to Coc0.

"Commander, many apologies, but your pilot died in surgery, shortly after you left. I have sent his body and equipment to your men. Sorry, Commander."

Maverick puffed on his pipe.

"And Commissar, stay frosty. Just because I've shown kindness, doesn't mean I'm not ruthless, callous and cold. I will readily destroy you, if I ever get the chance. Return Vera to us. That is your only hope to survive. You do not know the full extent of what you are facing, gentlemen."

"Maverick out."

And with that, the hologram fizzled out.

Mozzyfuzzy watched as the two friends walked away, talking about how coco had got here. Then he snuck out from his where he was hiding, and crept towards the prison cells.

There was only one guard on duty, who had his neck quickly broken, Nikev had only planned about people getting out, not trying to get in. He then accesed the database to see where Vera was being held...

"Cell block 25, room 101" he muttered.

Taking the deceased guards card key (or whatever opens prison cells in the 41st millenium) he began to make his way to Vera's cell.

As he reached his objective, Mozzyfuzzy suddenly became aware that he'd just discovered where the rest of the guards were. He sneaked a quick glimpse around the corner, and what he saw horrified him. Vera's insidious whispers had sent them crazy, as half of them were thrusting the walls and the others were meandering about. Realising that they posed no threat to him, Mozzyfuzzy strode towards the cell door and slid the card key threw the release mechanism.

The door slid open, and inside huddled in the corner lay Veera who looked up.

Upon seeing Mozzyfuzzy he charged straight into him and rammed him into the wall while yelling "Loyalist Scum", Mozzyfuzzy picked himself up off the floor grabbed Veera as he turned to run and said,

"I'm here to rescue you warmaster, and anyway the exit is this way" poining towards the route in which he had come from. "Oh and be quite".

Mozyfuzzy eventually led Veera back to the escort carrier showed Veera to a hidden panel and told him to wait.
He then snuck back outside and placed a dataslate on top of a crate of supplies and left a note on top which read,

"To Nikev"

And with that he told the crew to set off back to whence they came.

((This is the most boring rescue ever, but I couldn't be bothered to come up with anything better))

"Commissar, the escort craft has just taken off and is already in low orbit." An engineer said to Nikev.

"How is that possible?" coc0 said before Nikev could respond "I was given full command over that cruiser. It could only take off when i gave them orders."

Suddenly an alarm sounded throughout the entire fortress sector and on every corner of the street a red alarm light buzzed. Shortly after this the fortress it's emergency intercom sprung to life and a computer-generated voice could be heard: "Warning! Warning! Rebellious uprising in the prison blocks. Some cells have been breached! All troops mobilize. Repeat! All troops mobilize! Warning! Warning!"

Immediately everywhere people could be seen taking guns from their holsters and advancing towards the prison blocks. Coc0 grasped his thunderhammer and jump packed (yes, he has been wearing one all the time) over all the advancing troops and made his way to the prison blocks.

well I would care...if you were against the thrusters.....

(OOC - could there still be a minor uprising in the prison blocks?)

(( I can validate my earlier post by making the 'Vera' I rescued a clever decoy on your part Nikev))

Okay, but I'm not going to say it was a decoy Mozzy, you...just being you....assumed that he was in the prison, and someone happened to look like your 'new god'.

Its pretty much, a distance off in the city.........far from the Citadel though....very far.

((Oh munch as a Slaaneshi I'm coming to get your spirit stone ))

Lord maverick sat laughing in his chair.

"My Lord, Shas'O Vera has been rescued successfully."

Maverick's elite strategic mind had paid off once again. His plans, his cunning, and his wit had foiled nikev once more. Maverick considered it almost toying with the Commissar, before he managed to deliver what the Tau called "Mont'ka", or the Killing Blow.

An Officer burst in, his armour blackened with damage and marked with wear.

"Lord Maverick, I have grave news. Farseer Munch has died. Slain in battle by the loyalist forces."

Lord Maverick sat, slumped in his chair, the tears clearly dropping from his face.

"Colonel, bring me Commissar Ludd. Immediately."

Munch was dead? His brother at the Schola Thrustenium?

Maverick swore in that instant, that Nikev would die not at his hands, as he had previously made a pact to, but that Nikev would die such a slow, and prolonged suffering, that he'd wish he was being interrogated by the Thrustquisition, and not left to face his fate.

"Bring me my shuttle."

"Sir, would you like me to ready a pilot?"

"No, Corporal. I must do this alone."

At the edge of the Warp, a strange sound could be heard drifting towards the system. All the entities heard the strange cacophony and were intrigued.
Except Slaanesh. It cringed at the noise it had once thought extinct in this universe. Three gates ripped open and one force came through.
It was amazing to behold.

At the helm of the Battle Barge 'Valir's Fury' the Chieftain they called the Fallen Wolfborn watched and laughed. The Sons of Steel had
found another glorious battle, and he would be at the front. He raised his index and pinkie fingered glove in salute.
"Pilot, take us in. For the North Wolf and the glory of its METAL!"

In the command centre of 'Wulfen's Vengeance' Commissar Hjalmar Solkan knelt in prayer with the tribals and hiver soldiers around. The 1st Lupran Nordic had followed their
paragons through the Warp. They were now restless. Warriors who needed two things. A fight and a bottle of amasec. They were fresh out of amasec. As the priest stood
and finished, he stood up and turned towards them. "Sons of the North Wolf, give me victory and I'll take you on myself!" The room erupted in an ear splitting roar.

Aboard the cannibalized ships of Vaulkara Prima, Farseer Thaluia Arhain smiled widely at the assembling troops below her. Guardians, Dire Avengers, Howling Banshees. The Webway was woefully weak here. No matter though, the Tau would fix that. Shas'O Vilad approached in his X26 Battlesuit and signed to her that the Orcas and Falcons were almost ready. She nodded, and spoke through the intercom. "Warriors of Isha and T'au, kick some ass out there for me, would you?"

Lord Maverick wet himself laughing.

"More space mutts? Jeez, how many furries are there out there - can't you play a real force?"

He turned to his assembled general staff.

"Like, seriously, it's starting to get annoying. Yeah, so i'm leaving now to go pursue my real aims, so like... can you hold this world for me, while I head off to pwn some noobs?"

His deputy, Colonel-General Crenshaw stepped forwards.

"Sir, we shall not falter. Bring me back some red bull and beff jerky, will ya?"

"Absolutely, General. Toodles!"

And with that, Lord Maverick stepped into the waiting thunderbolt fighter (which had been refitted for interstellar warp travel, because he's a thruster, and we're cool like that), and took off, heading for a familiar set of co-ordinates.

Moments later, he emerged from the warp at his destination, and landed at McEmperors.

Ludd ran down the hill, screaming at the heathens, his men were once again thrusting hard against the tight defensive lines of the non-believers. He fired of his auto-pistol and suddenly a rushing sound filled his ears as the pressure levels changed. He glanced to his left to see one of his unit's psykers conjuring mighty strands of thrusting lightning around him. Ludd smiled, today was a good day to live...

Maverick returned to his jet, which was parked up outside McEmperors.

He sat in the seat, buckled himself in, and typed in a new set of co-ordinates.

The fighter took off, engaged it's warp-drive, and settled down into warp cruise. Maverick opened the take-away bag, and began to eat his Double Cheeseburger.

"Well Thaluia, its good to see ya again! I was not expecting you bunch of misfits to appear in the middle of this gakhole."
The Fallen Wolfborn grinned at the red headed Eldar on his plasma screen.

"Not so bad yourself caveman. How is the glorious Chieftain of the Sixth Company doing today?" she retorted with just a little
sarcasm. "Anyway, to business! The motherfething gakkers with all the Slaaneshi thrusting, eh? Bit weirder than Vaulkara Prima
don't you think?"

"Never liked purple anyway. Lets blast them with a little metal storm and grab a few drinks. You still with the Malleus bounty hunter?
It would be weird to see the gang back together. Congrats on getting Farseer anyway. See you on the flip side!"

"Not this again..." she stared out the window and saw a Iron Shield fighter screen scramble from the Battle Barge and the streaks of drop pods smash into the atmosphere.

Inside his drop pod he sat, rocking his head up and down in time to the souds of the Warped Metal sound.

Commisar Wolfie finally comes too. "Where the feth am I?"

Coc0 charged into the small group of heretics at the prison blocks and slammed his thunderhammer to the ground. The heretics closest to him were pulverized and the others around it were knocked back by the sheer force.

Soon there was but one of the heretics left: their leader. It was a high-ranking Tau fire caste member that had fallen to the thrusting ways.

Coc0 grabbed the tau by the throat and held him up 2 feet above the ground, looked him in the eye and said: "Your treachery shall be remembered by this entire world. Now, taste what the vengeance of the emperor feels like!"
And with that, he crushed the tau's throat and left him on the ground to suffocate. As he walked away he turned around once and flipped the pathetic warrior off. Then he went back to Nikev.

the vox crackled near ludds position ''this is inquisitor lord TGN (the glass ninja) prepare to die thrusting heretics'' and suddenly drop pods were raining from the sky and when they landed hundreds of sororitas and pentient engines smashed out

(OOC - Glass ninja was never signed up. ignore him.)

Lord Maverick exited warp space, above a world. He engaged his stealth cloaker, and travelled towards the planet's surface.

Landing on a pad on the world, where it was raining, he stepped out of his fighter, and walked into the building. No security.

Maverick strode down the corridors, aware that were anyone to see him, they would spot him instantly. He had nothing to fear. For he was in the heart of the beast, and he feared no evil. Lord Maverick was a man who had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, and was therefore, a very capable and dangerous entity.

check the roster Maverick i was so dont ignore me

(OOC - I'ma ignore him anyway, because i'm a douche like that hahaha)

Maverick turned the corner. There are three corridors marked "Main Chamber", "Prison Network" and "Barracks". Turning towards "Main Chamber", he walked with a brisker pace.

Suddenly a vortex grenade appears in front of Maverick with a note saying ''with love Inqy TGN

(OOC- Marverick are you on the world? and are you going to try and 'rescue' Vera? cause if so, I have an Idea, but I can't type it right now I'll have to type it tonight or something. thanks.

The Glass NInja is signed up. But Glass NInja, start over, I should have made this clear, write in an intro about your Inquisitor arriving in the System of the thrusters because of the destroyed Fleet Beacon......Then just attack the planet, no-body is really in charge there I think because Maverick is gone, and I don't think he Told Ludd)

Ok Nikev) suddenly 20 great black ships appeared above the Planet every sensor screamed at its operator throughout the entire system and got louder as 4 Eldar void dragons jumped out of warp space. " This is Inquisitor lord TGN (the glass ninja ) prepare to die heretic scum then thousands of Adeptus sororitas began dropping to the planet with pentient engines and GK and the inquisitor himself right onto commissar cadet ludd's position.

Ludd grunted as he shoved his power sword through the low quality armour of a heathen trooper. He smiled as the trooper spamed then fell still. He removed his sword and took a moment to look to the skies, "Feth it." he shouted as the drop pods of the inquisition filled the sky with trails of fire.
"Get into cover, get those tread fethers to a decent field of fire and some armour support would be welcome just about now." Ludd calmly ordered into the micro-bead. He looked to the ridge as the quad reverbarations of his hydras opened up on the planetary landing force, they would not give over their position as easily as the inquisition would like to think...

Many drop pods were lost but even more got through and where they landed they used no brakes just thrusting heretics sororitas spilled out and opened fire on the enemy and through it all strode inquisitor tgn smiting enemy's with his power sword and cleansing them with holy flame from his hand flamer. As he moved through the enemy position he spotted ludd and moved towards him swinging his sword all the way.

The Fallen Wolfborn's pod smashed into the dirt. He booted the door openand stepped out, drawing his power axe; 'Rock Of Ages'.
A group of thrusting Guardsmen came at him, cazed looks in their eyes. He snarled and swung his mighty weapon. Six heads fell into the dust.
"DECAPITATION!!!" A single rang out across the LZ as the Sons of Steel descended en masse for the highest concentrations of troops.
Chaplains were praying and Librarians blessing with the troops. It was truly a glorious sight to behold.

Lord Maverick was pressed against a large, marbled pillar. Ahead of him, up a small flight of stairs, were two guards, dressed in white flowing robes, and red armour. Armed with staffs, by the looks of things, they were guarding a door, a large door, White, with black marbled patterns through it, it had golden gilted handles, and was hinged as a double door.

Maverick made his plan. Striding out of his position, towards the doors, he walked up to the guards. The right guard stepped forwards to block his advance, and asked for his identification. Maverick reached into his pocket, but instead of papers, he drew his C'Tan Phase Sword, and rammed it through the guard. Pulling it clear of his body, he swiftly turned, and sliced the head clean from the shoulders of the second guard. Silent, yet effective.

Lord Maverick smiled. He still had it in him, after all these years.
