This is Sa’cea Sally formerly embedded with the 5th Airborne Strike Cadre. I’m reporting via orbsat live to you from the front lines. It’s been two weeks since our Manta has been shot down. So far we’ve been able to evade the imperials and keep broadcasting.

As you can see we’re hiding in a residential district that’s fallen into disuse. Over here you can see a crumbling community center where we’ve made our camp. Por’la, my camera man, has found an old grocery store just a few blocks away from here. So for now we should be fine.

We haven’t heard from our firecaste bodyguards since they went hunting last night, so I fear it won’t be long until we are discovered as well.
Whatever happens, dear viewers, carry the torch of freedom onwards. Remember the truths we’ve revealed to you about your oppressive government. Remember-

What the… I think I can hear something?
Yes, I can definitely hear something coming closer… It sounds like turbojet engines!
We’re safe, we’ve made it!
That’s another Manta passing by overhead – Por’la, do you have it on camera? Great!
Yes, that’s another Manta and it’s- Yes, I think it’s deploying a cadre right now. They must’ve been able to pick up our emergency beacon!

*Static*

Por’la is dead, and I don’t know if you can still see me, the camera drone got shot up pretty badly.
Someone found us before the firewarriors could – and they’re definetly not imperials. They’re xenos.
Yes my faithful viewers, your imperial overlords seem to be employing some kind of alien mercenaries. One of their red vehicles has just sailed over my head and- What’s that, they seem to be trying to conceal themselves from something right now… I can hear engines again, I can- Yes, yes! There is a cadre of firewarriors coming from the west and they seem to have identified the aliens as a threat!
Wish me luck and keep watching, I will try to keep reporting on the unfolding battle.

Oh no, the aliens have gotten the drop on our brave heroes! So far it seems that their fire has been ineffective – but their transports are closing rapidly right now!
Merciful god-emperor! Did you see those explosions? It looks as if the aliens have just lost – and here goes another one! The aliens have just lost a second of their skimmers, I don’t think there were any survivors.

What is that noise, there’s a terrible howling and it’s coming closer. It looks like, yes, that is some sort of flying contraption and – and it is followed by a, no it’s more. Maybe a dozen smaller vehicles are coming in from the east. They are trying to close the distance to the tau who are holding their ground so far.
I’m still feeling ill… The alien marauders have taken even more casualties. As you can see from the mushroom of black smoke behind the hab bloc over there they must have lost another transport vehicle, I doubt there are any survivors. Not after the Hazard suit opened fire.

What in the god-emperors name is that? I think I’m going to be sick again… A large mob of… of pale fleshed abominations has just jumped off one of the alien ships and they… Ses, they are, oh no! They are dragging down a pair of crisis suits before our eyes, hacking them apart to get at the pilots.

Hello, my name is Shas’la. I am very sorry inform you that this broadcast will have to end now. Sally will be talking to you again when she is in safety.
*Static*

It looks like they forgot to confiscate my microphone, so keep listening in. I’m afraid the camera drone is gone for good. I’ve been put into a firewarrior transport vehicle, but from what I can tell from my limited field of vision a tau tank has just plowed, literally plowed, through the pale skinned devils who are now fleeing in disarray.

Sally, stop this nonsense right now. You are under arrest! –What?! On whose orders? – On the order of the Aun’ar’tol, the council of the ethereals. You are under arrest and you will stop broadcasting, right now. – I can see, I can see the aliens are fleeing, the battle is won... Take your hands off me you blue skinned cu*Static*
