*Walks from Quetz to ammo crate and resupplies*

To Ot: Mordred has an army bearing down on us right now.

*Grabs water and washes blood and dirt off face, drinks the rest.*

*Looks up* We are going to fight. We are going to be hurt. And in the end, we will stand..

OOC The collar thing is something I saw in the back of the Ultramarines Omnibus, it was a little snippet of a graphic novel, and the Inquisitor and a few henchmen carried a long stick with a clamp at the end, kinda like that thing that you pick up rubbish with, and they used it against a psyker, it had spikes around the inside of the clamp/collar, so that''s why Amelia can't breathe, her throat has been punctured in about 6 different places.

Bic *Trying to breath still*

[Looks up from knocking out the henchman] Amelia? [Kneels beside her, and looks at the collar] I'm sorry if this hurts, but it has to come off.
[Very carefully applies the power-sword blade until the metal is cut away at the back of her neck, leaving a small burn]
I-I'm sorry.. I don't have both hands.

*Coughs, sending little trickles of blood out of the holes in her throat*

*OT curses*
OT: Of all the times for everyone to be away... Very well, we'll make the best of it.
Cal: Nicholas! Morrigan cannot go! She's still to hurt!
Morrigan: I'm fine Cal! Stop worrying so much!
*Ot turns to Cal and Morri*
Ot: We don't have a choice Cal. We're under attack and undermanned, we need everyone we can get.
*Cal looks desperately between OT and Morri before slumping and hugging Morrigan*
Cal: Just be careful okay?
*Morri kisses Cal and smiles*
Morri: I will, don't worry. Now, what do we need to do?

*Ra is pushing the engines as the clock ticks down to 14 hours*

*Scatty narrowly dodges another las-blast*

*holds neck with one hand and fires another charged shot through the marine's skull*
*gasps for air and activates his armor lock again to fend off a volley of bolter shells*

[Rips off sleeve, and binds Amelia's neck] You'll be okay. We just need to get out of here.

[Samuel's entire arm is gradually turning crystalline blue, and he is growing paler]

They will break the tree line soon enough..

*Listens*

I would say three wheels away.

*Wet coughs*

Prepare yourselves.

*Points at the Inquisitors body*

*Points at own throat and holds the sleeve there*

*Ot takes point with Morri on his right
Shakespeare's yellow aura flares with the scent of lemons and forms into S.W.A.T riot gear.
Billy cocks a repeater while Black Hawk readies his bow. *

*Cal looks over at Roland*
Cal: You're hurt, come here.

[Looks confused] Kill him?

*Shakes head and struggles breathing*

*Points to a device thingy hanging around his neck*

To Cal: No go inside now..

*From the tree line a assortment of lumbering slow mutants approach*

To Ot: You are Dinh what is the plan..

*OT narrows his eyes*
OT: This. *Raises Blade of Awe and waves it towards the enemy. Inside, the auto defenses find their targets and open fire with railguns and bolter-fire*

[Reaches and grabs the device, snapping the chain it hangs from] [Squints at it and holds it close enough that Amelia can access it] ..?

[Notices Inquisitor moving] [Punches him in the head and returns arm again]

*Scatty stumbles and gets hit in the shoulder, she grits her teeth and keeps fighting through the injury*

*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: Look Roland! Just let me do my job!

*Yarrick is holding a null-field generator*

*Amelia squirms more as it comes closer*

*Goes paler*

[Realises] Feth feth feth.
[Places it on the floor and slams it with the activated power-sword blade]

ooc: Yarrick doesn't do tech.

*Scatty beheads a man and looks over*
Scatty: SMASH IT! IT's HURTING H- gets hit in right side of her chest and falls to her knees.
Scatty: Too many... *She struggles to her feet and stabs another trooper*

*Calms slightly and puts hand against wall*

*Concentrates really hard*

*Portal starts forming*

*Stormtroopers push the attack*

[Lifts Amelia] C'mon you. This isn't how rescues should go.[Kisses her cheek] You can do this.
..Sorry about the stubble.

*Slow mutants explode by the hundreds, but thousands more run forward*

*I begin to open fire on the oncoming horde*

*Grab Cal* Cal go insid-*The unmistakable crack of a sniper rifle sounds, as the round slaps into my right shoulder*

*I grit my teeth, and shoot the sniper from the tree.*

*Larry pauses and looks over at the cell Sam is in*

Larry: Hmmm awfully quiet.

*Larry gets off his chair and heads over to the cell and looks in*

Larry: That looks bad.

*Opens up cell and picks up Sam*

*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: I am not a warrior in the traditional sense, I use these. *Sketches a rune on the ground and activates it. A large bubble shield forms around him and Roland as OT and Morrigan charge forward. Billy and Black Hawk open fire and Shakespeare begins summoning snakes from the ground*

ooc: You guys know there's an Imperial guard PDF in the room, right? That Marla and Milo lead?

*Turns head to the side and kisses Yarrick*

*Portal forms completely*

*Keeps on kissing Yarrick*

OOC: Oh yeah! I forgot about that!
*PDF troopers are firing from bunkers*

*Scatach gets hit again twice and finally collapses. The pile of bodies around her is in the hundreds*

*grabs the hammer and charges the Imperial Fist sergeant*
*staggers as a bolt round clips his shoulder but keeps moving forwards*

If I fall, in bringing you with me, fanatic.

IF: No marine truly falls to a traitor.

[Smiles and helps Amelia through the portal] [Holds her upright] Someone! The others need help in there!

*Shakes self out of grip and continues trying to hold the portal open*

*Gestures back to the others and keeps concentrating*
