Od'Onnis watches Korg run around the corner and watches the light show as everything opens up. Worth the trip, he thinks. Hardly stopping he follows the Khornate marine around the corner and takes stock of whats in front of him before engaging the closest actual threat

- Jurufar moves up and into the open drawing his pistols as he moves.
- Od'Onnis runs around the corner and into close combat with a plasma gunner.

The heavy stubber gunnerspends his turn withdrawing from combat with Korg.
A plasma gunner fires at Korg using the maximal setting.
The other plasma gunner spends his turn withdrawing from combat with Od'Onnis.
His words ignored, Dromichaetes responds:
"Eliminate the plasma gunners first."
And opens fire on one.
Dagon fires again, another single shot headed towards one of the plasma gunners, firing at the targets head.
Dedelion stays in cover and watches the battle.
Korg eyes up his enemies, those plasma gunners can actually hit something it seems. Grinning he once again charges the heavy stubber, the others will get their turn..
"No no no, you can't leave just as I get here. You have to stay and let me spill your precious guts all over the floor."
Charge the plasma gunner or another target if its dead.
Dunno if the charges +20 supercedes the +10 for standard or stacks with it.

- The salvage team stay put.
- The cult acts.
The plasma gunner in contact with Od'Onnis withdraws from combat in his turn.
The remaining culists robotically draw krak grenades and throw them.
Korg takes 3 damage.
Dromichaetes takes 6 damage.
Od'Onnis takes 1 damage.
Dromichaetes winces slightly as a krak grenade detonates against him.
He will aim for the surviving plasma gunner, as that weapon poses a greater medium-term threat. Should that gunner be dead, he will seek a heavy weapon or even just a singular cultist to gun down.
Dagon fires at the next plasma gunner who had fled from Od'Onnis, grinning beneath his helm as the bolt headed towards the mans foot. Only a single shot, if the man could not avoid it then it would be sufficient.
Korg senses his opportunity and charges the leader of these enemies hoping the quick change in targets will throw them off balance.
"Don't go just yet", he says to the plasma gunner, "we have so much to discuss, like how this is going to hurt and how much I'll enjoy seeing that."
Charge the plasma gunner again or the fella that got the damage on me with the crack grenade if the gunner is dead.

They seem to have a one track mind with regards to target selection, aside from the time they threw grenades.
You witness a bright flash followed by the sound of trumpets and the words.
"The final countdown."
Lorg appears suddenly 2m in the air in the spot where Jurufar disappeared.
A figure in black armour slams into the ground. At first glance it looks like an Iron warrior, until you notice a magnificent set of horns extending from his head and the defaced iconography.
Lorg climbs to his feet and looks around.
"This is not my workshop" Lorg says, obviously confused. "Lets see ... fire, chaos, confusion and AH a space marine. You there" Lorg exclaims pointing at the tactical marine. "You are blessed to stand in the presence of Lorg the Magnificent. Tell me what is going on here".
Lorg will enter a guarded stance.
Dromichaetes takes aim at a lasgunner while vocally replying to Lorg.
"We face genestealer cultists. Your curiosity can be sated while you help end their lives."
And squeezes the trigger.
"We are definitely all loyal holy warriors on a holy quest to help these members of a holy Rogue Trader crew to get off this hulk back to their holy vessel of divine goodness." Dagon turns fully resplendent in his Black Legion heraldry his lenses locking with Lorgs before charging off to kill another lasgunner.
"All these men flee from me, this is frustrating" Korg thinks to himself as he charges the leader once more swinging his chainaxe.

Finally someone willing to fight.
"Fine, I suppose that I can sully my hands on a few of these weaklings but your answer had better be good"
Lorg charges the nearest of the cultists, prioritizing the shot-gunners, his Mechatendril flicking behind him.
Dromichaetes switches his boltgun for his combat knife and charges the nearest lasgunner, planning to gut him without wasting any more ammunition.
As he does so, Dromichaetes speaks towards Lorg without taking his eyes off his next targets.
"We have awoken after much time and made compact, with myself Anointed. I am Dromichaetes."
It is clear that Dromichaetes is trying to avoid giving away details pinning down the group as traitor marines. Perhaps he thinks someone is listening.
Dagon barrels towards another foe swinging his chainsword at another foe.
- The leader survives Korg's attempt to feint and dodges his attack.
- Lorg charges a shotgunner but fails to hit.

And an irritant escapes once again.
Dagon charges after the lasgunner swinging his chainsword towards the man's arm.
Lorg giggles maniacally tossing the dead shotgunner aside.
He twirls once and charges one of the lasgunners
Korg charges two foes swinging wildly at the one on the left with his bloody chainaxe
"Perhaps someone should check out what the catwalk team dropped?"
The last few members of the combat team hold out for several rounds before combat ends as they are cut down.
You are 70m from the spot where the shuttle exploded.
The team on the catwalk has withdrawn but dropped something 130m away from you.
Dromichaetes speaks as the last of the combat team is hacked down.
"Let us investigate what was dropped own, as Korg suggested."
And he jogs towards that spot.
"Well I believe that I've held up my end of the bargain. Now tell me what's going on here and why I'm here."
Dromichaetes continues moving.
"I will explain as we move."
"We awoke from stasis to find ourselves in this decrepit Imperial ruin of a void station, currently being plundered by a rogue trader crew. Who may or may not be responsible for the genestealer cult that is on board. We need to get on board the vessel, and soon. As I said earlier, I am Anointed in this compact, and there is a will to meet with the captain and his command crew in person."
"It is our Holy Mission bound as we are by ancient traditions forgotten to holy times gone by with intentions lost to us but surely still relevant. It would be rude of us not to meet this Captain personally." Dagon adds thoroughly enjoying talking like an Imperial lapdog.
Oh defiling gods they've all gone native. They seem to think I'm on there side for now. Better just play it cool for now and ditch these fools at the first chance I get, Lorg thinks to himself.
"I shall join you on this holy mission. For the Emperor" Lorg says making the sign of the Aquila.
Dromichaetes stops in his tracks and looks at Lorg quizzically, as if surprised and studying him for something. Then he continues towards the dropped item.
I cannot tell if he is serious or not. Perhaps he has a very dry wit. Or perhaps unshielded warp transit has damaged his memory. Once we are on board the rogue trader vessel, I will have to explain this matter more clearly. And while facing him with a weapon.
Korg begins collecting up the bodies and making an alter to Khorne.. Bloody corpse piled together, their skulls taken and placed on top.
" they were surprisingly stoic for mortals. You don't see that often"
'Hm, I wonder what that is ... probably a chapter specific ritual', Lorg thinks to himself eyeing the alter of skulls.
Hmm he sounded almost convincing there... I'd almost believe he was a loyalist if you could convince me one would wear Legion livery without joining the right side, perhaps he's a renegade the Emperor's Children adopted
"Well spoken, I guess you could say you were a Child of the Emperor." Dagon chuckles like a Plaguemarine as he goes off to inspect what was dropped for them.
Dromichaetes will find a microbead wrapped in a torn shirt.
Dromichaetes will pick up the microbead and listen in.
He hears nothing but static but he notes the preset frequency.
Dromichaetes will try a message in basic vox tap om that channel.
Dromichaetes receives no response.
He will try speaking on the channel, in low gothic.
"Identify."
