"Acknowledge, Brother Arkhos. His Will be done."
Del join the advance, taking a flanking position.
|
Upon closer inspection, some of the bodies are of the first breach team, some are old. After the kill team gets out and secures the area the Magos and servitors move rapidly to an input station.
I will attempt to speak with the dark spirits. I must first perform a cleansing ritual for me and my servitors. Please ensure our safety until it is completed.
The Magos begins to speak in tech speak to his servitors and ritualistically adjusts dials. The bay remains eerily quiet as this is being done. Once they are ready the Magos and the servitors attach to the vessel.
The first device we require is 40m straight ahead. My auspex confirms several non-humanoid entities between us and the device. No evidence of a workable Gellar-field generator. Collecting layout of ship.
One of the servitors lets out a horrible scream, like a child on fire, a plume of purple electric explosion erupts and destroys the servitor.
This one was too weak. The Magos says. A door leading down a large hall opens. At least he completed his duty.
Del hangs back at the left flank relying on his helmet's advanced sensory systems to detect anything amiss. But he is ready to give covering fire should the need arise.
Arkhos shrugs at the words of the Magos just hoping they don't all burn out in such way before achieving their objective.
Awareness 60
Arkhos is taken in by the scenery still wondering how fierce the battle the sisters had put for them and pity they were probably overwhelmed by the enemy.
For Brother Arkhos
"Brother Arkhos, since there are four of us, I diamond formation seems to be appropriate, don't you agree?", Del inquires over a private vox channel.
Valerio speaks using the vox link between the entire kill-team.
"Brothers, contacts beyond this wall. They appear inhuman."
"Take a diamond formation and remain on the move searching for cover as you got to avoid unpleasant surprises as we approach this filthy creatures. What's the distance Brother Valerio and number of targets?"
Having remained silent watching the newest brother of the Deathwatch Elyas examines the horror before his eyes. His unease with the traitor ship is hidden by the helmet of the armour. The thoughts are quickly perished when Brother Valerio inform the kill-team. "My position?" he inquires over the vox as Arkhos commands the team into postion.
"You are the center Brother Elyas"
"Brother Arkhos, there are 4 creatures and they..." He pauses, going so far as to even stop walking as he states at the Auspex in utter confusion. It's a brief moment before he finally breaths again, "My apologies, the creatures are currently working their way above us, possibley through the use of a ladder or scaffolding."
"Scratching sounds like claws on the hard floor from beyond the wall to the right." Del relays over the vox. He then immediately aims his bolter in that direction.
Del adjusts his aim after hearing Leon's report.
Arkhos grin is not seen but you can almost feel it "I don't need apologies, I just need to know if they are approaching our location Brother. Everyone else be at the ready."
Del also draws his chainsword.
"Brother Arkhos, I recommend that we prepare for close quarters combat."
"That is a given brother" as Arkhos can barely contain his smile.
"Get Ready Brothers, break the diamond formation and find cover to rain holy bolter fire on that scum"
[ooc]Aww yes. I good start I'd say.[/occ]

Even though he has been warned Elyas is caught on the back on his feet when the daemons descend upon them.
While the ferocity of the attack presses the assault marine his basic training and master-crafted tries to turn the tide and he executes an almost perfect series of defensive patterns.
Now standing face to face with the lesser daemon of Slaneesh his helmet hides the smile that plays on his lips. Phyrr was worse, the thought invigorates him and he unleashes his cold fury. The quick shot from the blot pistol flies well pasts the opponent, slowing his hastened movements just a fraction he focuses on the lessons learned in the wake of Phyrr. The only sound heard over the noise of the fight is his warcry: Repent!
Del presses the activation stud of his chainsword and parries the daemonette's claw. "Back, foul creature of the warp!!!"
Del then makes a backhanded swipe at the daemonette that sadly misses.
Arkhos unleashes a spray of bolter fire against the foul beasts "We commend our souls to the Emperor. Let the story of our deeds be recorded and remembered in history. For death and for glory!"

Valerio sees the Daemons charging their position, he activates his Logis Implant in order to hone in on his targets.
He feels his mind start to clear and targeting priority starts to set in as he levels the Psicannon at the Daemonettes.
The first hit from the vicious creature bounces harmlessly off of Valerio, as he sees the second swing Valerio tries to move out of the way
the nasty claws swipe past him, barely missing him.
He glares at the Daemon as he swings his Psicannon to face it.
The Daemonette unleashes a storm of blows. Overwhelmed by the sheer ferocity of the attack Elyas raise his blade to parry a little to late but the hand of the Emperor guides his blade and a upwards slash is blocked. Alas it is not enough as another low blow opens a vicious wounds in his leg tearing muscle and sinews apart.
By the Inner Circle, why did I underestimate them, Elyas scolds himself as he focusses on his blade alone. A nagging feeling tells him that the Daemonette somehow knows where he will strike and in the last possible moment he changes attack pattern. The first blow is barely on course while the second is wide off however the last - a straight thrust, hits just under the solar plexus and the teeth rips the foul flesh apart.

Del executes another parry, blocking another attack that would have eviscerated him.
Del makes a backhanded swipe with similar results as the first.

Brother Arkhos 15 The Daemonette is unable to avoid the stunning attack
Daemonettes12 Lighting Attacked, Steeds swift attacked Brother Lutha9 Overwatch triggered, but still has actions this round
Brother Lutha 9 The steed tries to avoid the attack but fails. It suffers incredible wounds and dies. The Rider deftly spins and jumps avoiding the bolter-fire
Brother Elyas 8 The wounded Daemonette tries to parry, but fails and falls of its steed. Brother Elyas' following attacks carry on to the steed. The Steed bucks the Daemonettes corpse off of it as it tries to dodge one of Brother Elyas' attacks, but fails and falls dead.
Brother Del 6 Parries, but fails to make his melee attack
Brother Leon 5 The Daemonette tries to avoid Brother Leon's full-auto onslaught, but fails and falls dead as its body is riddled with holes. The steed trys to jump over Brother Leon, but is caught with another round of full-auto fire. It too dies on the floor, adding more blood and carnage to the already macabre background.
Del manages to parry the steed's attack. Times like these I should have a bolt pistol with me, he tells himself.
Del promises the Emperor that he will hit the practice cages after this mission is over.
"The Emperor watches over me!"
Arkhos attack hits the daemon, but he get's no rest as the steed continues to assail him but unable to connect its attacks.

Arkhos decides to finish the daemon with his axe
As his adversary falls before him, Elyas smiles a tired smile beneath his helmet. The pain from his leg is very present in his mind but seeing his team-mates still fighting he presses on and steps to brother Del's side. Shoulder to shoulder with the newest member of the kill-team he swings his blade in a downward arc, trying to hit the foul creature.
Brother Arkhos stuns the Daemonette and redeems himself as the headsmen of the Emperor.
Brother Lutha finishes the one on Brother Del, who seems unaffected by the strange ramming/lick attack he received from the Steed of Slaanesh.
As the team is recovering from the attack, one of the Daemonettes sits back up and tries to attack the Magos, but goes limp as a long thin blade comes flying through the air and pierces its skull. A slender female form appears from the shadows.
"Master Astartes, I am Daysha. Please, Sister Superior Adele requires your aid."
Brother Leon notices that Daysha does not register on the Auspex
A little surprised by the sudden appearance of the messenger Elyas voxes to Brother Arkhos: "My leg is severly wounded brother, I need time for our apothecary examine it and administer the rituals of sealing to my armour." Turning to Brother Del he say on the squad vox: "Brother apothecary the hallowed machine spirit of my armour are fighting against the pain, might I request your skill in matters of the flesh before I tend to my armour?"
