"It is good to see you too Mikal. And yes, we will not fail in this mission," I say, taking a quick look at the device we had created. "We will succeed, just like before. Now, how are the Space Wolves treating you?"

Mikal lets out a laugh at The diminutive alien's question. It was funny because he had been thinking about the same thing for a while now.

"Indeed, you speak the truth Shas, and the Sons of Russ treat me as their brother for that is what I now am. In fact, they liked me so much, they went and made me a Wolf Guard!" Mikal continues to laugh but stops when he sees Shas' confusion. Mikal becomes solemn.

"It is a great honor indeed to become one of the few assigned to guard the great captains. That is something I'm sure you are familiar with."

Just then, Marius calls his men together and Mikal begins to walk away, leaving Shas with a firm warrior's handshake.

"Today we take flight and fight again together, Shas, I will see you when we get there."

Mikal marched away, heeding the beckons of his Lord.

Mikal, I will need you to lead a strike force on the Bridge with the Shas'o and his team. I will lead a second assault into the holds, You will plant the Device and then exfil the ship. I will make all measure of effort into tying up thier resources while you do this, having my wolf guard on the Bridge will be the striking force we need, but I will take several squads of Grey Hunters and Blood Claws. These will be insturumental in tying up thier forces, Get out as soon as oyu can and vox me, give me 15 minutes to get out and then blow the device and open fire, we cant let this weapon fall into their hands. Mikal, Kais, I dont need to tell you that you may not see me again, what I need you to do is concentrate on the mission, I have inherited a set of bloodied fangs, this mission will clean them. I will leave it to you to organise your own squads. Hemlock I will leave the organisation of my assault to you, I must prepare a coven of Rune Priests who will accompany me and carry out the final stags of my plan.

"Marius. Don't play the part of the hero. You are too good a warrior to shame yourself like that. We will all get out, just like before. But I will not leave the ship until the mission is complete. Now, I must see to my Fire Warriors."

I walk over to one of my oldest friends, a Shas'ui, Mont'yr.

"Mont'yr I need your squad ready, and the same to my Elite guard. I want all weapons handed out, and everybody to know what we are doing," say to my friend.

"Well," Mont'yr replies, a smile obvious, even under his helmet. "I can ready the squad, but I think the words should come from you, seeing as how you are very popular among our forces."

"I suppose that is true my friend, I shall see to it."

I assemble my Fire Warriors, including my Elite guard, and speak to them.

"The mission will go like this," I begin. "You, Warriors, the Space Wolf, Mikal, and I will all attack them on the bridge. After we have taken control of it, we will go deeper into the cruiser and plant the EMP device. Once it is planted Mikal and his Space Wolves may leave, but we will go to asssist Marius, who will be tying up thier resources. Once we are all ready, we will arm the device for 15 minutes, and leave within that time. Some of you may die today, but you will not be forgotten, as all of you deserve a place among the legends of our Empire. FOR THE GREATER GOOD!"

My warriors repeat the chant, raising thier weapons in the air, while Mont'yr looks at me, and claps. before walking over.

"I think your words were good. They are prepared. We are ready."

The Space Wolf and Tau gunships move towards the clustered group of Assault Carriers, they view the target Assault Carrier at the centre of the group still loading its remaining troops on-board. The Gun-ships soon come under long ranged fire from the Chaos forces remaining AA-guns but do little or no damage as the Space Wolves and Tau ships destroy anything in their path.

[Our target is clear, secure the Grav-lift in the centre of the Assault Carriers landing zone and use it to enter the ship while the Tau ships give supports, the remnants of the Tau fleet say they have something special in store for the forces of Chaos.]

Two Mantas deploy from the remaining Tau ships carrying over 300 troops and battle suits along with heavily armoured vehicles and weaponry. The Space Wolves are backed by several other Wolf lords’ forces who have contributed warriors to the cause. The Space Wolves Thunder-Hawks blast their way into the LZ were several Chaos space marine Terminators await carrying heavy weaponry designed for Anti-tank combat.

(Walking to the Fang will never work Nocturne, Assassins work alone and you would never get there. You have targets and don’t need to go there; you won’t get anything and are an enemy to them. Making friends doesn’t work all the time.)

What are the targets? Cause these files where corrupted by kremlin

"All forces, take out the enemy. For the greater good!"

I use my trusty rail rifle, to snipe unaware enemies.

(The Farseer, Sorcerer Kremlin and Syrath)

Two Chaos Terminators leading several Chaos Space Marines flank Shas'O T'au Kais and his Body Guards position and begin to fire on their position using a Reaper auto-cannon which cuts down several Tau quickly with consecrated blasts and soon turn their attention to Shas'O himself.

I smirk, but worry slightly at the terminators. Quickly, I bring up my rail rifle to snipe one of thier heads quickly, befor erolling to the right, narrowly missing a shot, and bringing up my weapon to fire at the other Terminator.

she searches the vox net for a sign of syrath.
"lets find target one. but first we will look if the farseer showed her real self to marius." she searches the vox from marius. while she does all this she also tries to determine her own location

"Foolish Vermin, I have little time to deal with idiots like you're self. Do you think you could destroy me!"

Syrath swoops down like a hawk, his form has changed and has a massive Dragon like creäture that has massive bladed claws and nearly slices the Assassin in half but the Assassin dodges his attack barley, he hovers for several seconds and sends a bolt of pure energy that throws the Assassin back. He belches flames and melts the snow around the Assassin and grabs her with his claws and raises her to eye level.

"I hear you wish to destroy my Sisters Soul Stone, while I hate her my relations still bind me to her and I will happily tear you apart. However Kremlin is a different matter and is my Prey, I will have my revenge on both him and Escalibar. You will be left for now but I warn you, my kin are off-limits."

Syrath drops her and flies into the sky without care for the injured assassin.

The Shot pierces the Terminator and kills him instantly,the other aims his Auto-cannon and fires another volley that sends him flying and crashing into a small rock spire. The Terminator advances but is killed by the shots from several Elite Fire-warriors who take advantage off his over confidence and helps the Shas'O up. He rises and aims his rifle and fires at the Chaos Space Marines who are still advancing.

"We will see about that" she whispers. She locks syrath on her animus and fires a tracker in him(he wouldnt even feel it.)
"Now the hunter will become the hunted.but first these reports. She overviews them while she looks after syrath.

" and thank you syrath you just helped me." She starts to search for any files where marius is noted in. "I think this will become interesting."

The Assassin finds the last reports of a Space Wolf squad who met Syrath while tracking him but losses the signal several times.

[He's after us... lost two brothers...he's the...]
The Message turns into static and screams as Syrath tears them apart; Syrath flies over head and attacks Raptors on patrol with vicious fury littering their remains over the landscape below.

{Marius: Space Wolf Dreadnought who fought in the Eye of Terror and destroyed several Chaos War-Machines and assisted in the removal of Captain Argosh. Assisted Eldar and Tau forces and houses the remains of Farseer Syrathiocn who perished over Fenris and is allies with Shas'O T'au Kais. Currently battling Chaos Legion of the Thousand Sons on Fenis and allowing the Farseer to transmit her powers through his body.}

(I searched for reports from marius his activitys)

nocturne's wrath wrote:(I searched for reports from marius his activitys)

(OOC) Fixed.

she searches for current battlefield reports where marius is mentioned in but also for formations where marius is in.

Tech waits for more vox alerts from the vehicle maintainance while sat on the edge of an ammo crate legs folded and reaching down to the floor under her robe. She reaches a slender mechanical hand up to remove the most recent Iho stick from her mouth, hidden under the low hanging hood.

I continue to fire at the Chaos Marines, while I order for my Fire Warriors to push up.

[To all Tech-Priests within the Vicinity, head to sector Alpha-18 and begin repair of Thunder-Hawks and Predator battle tank now and aid all Space Wolf Tech-Marines.]
The Vox cuts out as the Tech-Priests begin to move towards Alpha 18.

[Marius current combat place is Chaos Landing site, he is leading a large force of Space Wolves against the Thousand Sons]

The Chaos Marines are cut down by the Tau's heavy fire power but their victory is short lived as a Chaos Defiler arrives mowing down enemy forces with its Auto-Cannon.

"Use explosives on it! Do not falter! For the greater good!"

I use my rail rifle, and fire it its weak points, ordering my elite guard to do the same.

*Tech hops off her crate and begins to follow the other tech-priests toward Alpha-18, her robes whipping loosly around her and she grabs the Iho-stick and throws it down into the snow. Stamping out the Iho stick she continues to walk on, gliding like a spectre.*

Mikal thunders down the ramp of his thunderhawk with the rest of the Wolf guard and other Space Wolves that had joined them. He leads the wolves into a charge that runs into the flank of the Chaos forces while they concentrate fire on the Tau.

With howls of bloodlust, the sons of Russ enter battle once more, the long fangs laying down suppressive fire and the others advancing into melee range. A few of the Wolf Guard who advance with Mikal are clad in terminator armor, some with heavy support weapons, others with thunder hammers and lightning claws. Mikal, however, remains in his rune covered artificer armor and that gives him an incredible amount of speed and agility. He uses his superior maneuverability to dance around the heavily laden chaos marines and cuts into several of them with his axes snarling.

After thoroughly making a foothold in the chamber, Mikal spots the defiler headed into the tau lines and roars as he cuts down the tainted marines in the path between him and the machine.

"Leave the bastard to me!" Mikal howls over the vox as he comes in from the defiler's side unseen. With a running start, Mikal leaps onto the creature's legs and mauls its wiring with his axes, he eventually climbs onto its top, the machine spinning and trying to dislocate him. Mikal plunges his axes into the beast's sensory array, leaving it blind, he carves a hole into its top armor and shoves a melta bomb into and leaps off the stumbling machine waiting for the result of his work to destroy it.

The Defiler explodes in a furious blast that knocks down both Chaos and Loyalist alike as all that remains shattered and broken legs that flicker with green flames and smoke, its torso blasted into oblivion and its head impaled on a spike like rock. The Space Wolves and Tau gun down what remains of the non retreating Chaos forces while the others use Drop-Ships and the Grav-Lift to enter the ship. The Allies secure the Landing Zone and begin to secure the Grav Lift before using it to enter the cargo bay of the ship which is piled with crates full of Ammo and weapons and several inactive Predators battle tanks.

The Area has been blasted apart by Chaos AA from earlier assaults but is now calm, Space Wolf Iron Priests work tirelessly to repair heavy damage done to Predators and Rhinos which survived the Assault by Chaos Space Marines. Once they spot the Tech-Priests they greet them and explain the heavy damage from the Chaos attacks.

Tech reaches Alpha-18 to see a docking platform with several broken and damages Thunder hawks along with two Wrecked Rhinos and an immobilised Predetor tank. She quickly sets to work sliding through the light covering of snow to the nearest Thunder hawk gunship, her retinue of three servitors and seven skull probes drift in around her as she reaches the hull of the gunship.

The Tech-Priest works hard to fix damage to the Left wing off the Thunder-Hawk which has been caused by Acid, after replacing the armor panel and fixing the wiring she wields it together and begins fixing the broken glass of the hull which has taken several Bolter shots. She is forced to entirely replace several windows and the barrel of Predator tanks Auto-Cannon and Heavy Bolters, she soon finds time to rest as her work is completed.

(quick question are you playing my role as well as several others?)

(OOC) I can take control of characters and direct their movements when needed.

OOC: ok no problem it's just so that i realise and don't do the same think twice.

{Icehammer's wings taking of over}
{Confirmed Icehammer, you have a green light, Time of Fire and Thunderstorm will asssist on this mission, wingmen "The eye of the Storm" and "Fenrisfury" will flank. Goodluck Icehammer, Fang over and out}

Marius' flight wing takes of, each has a powerful Rune priest abourd. Marius himself, Grisnar Flamefury, Callsign time of fire, and Yenric Yelloweye, callsign Thunderstorm. They would take a direct path over the frozen snows of Fenris and then jump over the chasm of Icescream to round the back of the Carriers and get stuck in where Marius would be able to draw fire away from the main battle.

Marius' plan was simple, once the Rune priests, himself included, were in position they would create a nice spectacle of death for all those trying to flee, and the Grey hunters already there would be holding the first of the enemy off while Marius arrived.

Soon the trio of Thunderhawks were in visual sight range of the Carrier and Marius opened up the vox channels.
{Mikal, Kais, This is Icehammer making my run now over}
{Roger Icehammer, beginning our atrtack now, goodluck, over}
{Roger that Mikal, lets bring the rain, over and out.}
{out}


Marius touched down just behind the main fireline and he and the other two Rune priests soon got stuck in, Soon word Spread amougnst the chaos warriors of the great dreadnought himself and many of the combatants flocked to the battle to try and bring down the wolf Lord. Marius grinned, his plan was working. Soon however there would be too many to deal with bolter alone, so he gave a vox signal to the other Rune Priests and together they began to call the storm.
