A tau drone saw them drop. It approached them cautiously, showing it had no intention of harming them. It was a recon probe, scouting the area, and it had seen more Imperial forces. It replayed it's message again: "Greetings Space Marines of the Imperium. I am Commander Flamewing in your language. If you have come here by chance, welcome to the Hive World Antaris VI, once again in your language. I am here to propose to you that we already have truces underway with most Imperial forces with this world, including an Inqisitor Castus Bones, a Vindicare assassin. We are most grateful, the both of us about this. We hope we can have your full support. If so, there is much to be done.(A lot of races)Good luck, Space marine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flamewing meanwhile was pleased to hear the Dark Matter Nova Reactor had reached base. Though he was alarmed he had heard some Thunderhawks attacking it. He decided to contact the Watchmen personally for this. Evading Steelface and then retreating from the zone, his XV-107 would have to wait. Besides, it'd take quite a while to power up and ready the suit for combat. He ordered the Orca to head to the Watchmen, determined to tell them the Imperium and Tau were attempting to ally...Hopefully this chapter would agree. Flamewing wondered why separate chapters of Space Marines, and not just one unified force. Nevermind that, he though. First, tell the watchmen that they were allied...If they would even agree.
As luminous heard the cuminication from the tau he replied "so tau and imperial alliance" as he spoke he sheathed his sword "if you will meet me in person I will agree tell that to comander flamewing that and I will meet him at your base I had my thunder hawk follow your darkmatter reactor" as he spoke he and the terminators he had cqlled for headed in the direction of the tau base
Curp your excess boy we have a job to do Sergant find us the ultramarines their blood debt will be paid one worthless life at a time
the blood watchmen walked to the side of the tau base luminous and levitas told their brothers to wait there as they walked towards the tau lookouts "i am comander luminous of the bloodwatchmen this is my brother levitas we wish to speak with comander flamewing"
The Tau sentry turret scanned the watchmen. After it concluded they were friendly, it stood down and two fire warriors ushered the watchmen in. Flamewing meanwhile had ordered the XV 107 to be hidden underground*. He didn't want anybody noticing it, he was worried that could reveal their plans. Flamewing looked at the dossier containing the XV107 and the other mysterious blueprint, ordered by a Farsight enclave offical not to open it. Probably with good cause, he thought. Though he coudn't stop wondering what it was. A death ray? A new type of XV suit? A new tank? A new ship? Possibly a weapon that could obliterate entire systems somehow? A fire warrior interrupted his thinking to let him know the watchmen had arrived. Flamewing, walked out in person to talk with the watchmen... *PS:The XV-107 was hidden in separate pieces, only Flamewing and a bunch of his sub-commanders know exactly, the rest just lifted parts of it in.
As luminous walked up to flamewing he saluted in the symbol of a fire warior "we apologise for the misunderstanding we saw space marines firing on you and responded, our barge has lost all vox capibilities so we knew not of the allience" as luminous spoke he removed his helm reveiling one white eye the other black
Flamewing got the watchmen up to speed, then gave them supplies and let them stay in the base for the time being to plan. Flamewing understood these noble Space Marines had their word for misunderstanding. Meanwhile: The pathfinders that stealthily watched czieg1 smash the Orks were somewhat pleased. They were happy that they were killing them, though the CSM's would be a problem. Nevermind that, the pathfinders inquired Flamewing for orders, him ordering to shoot at the leader, czieg1. Aiming their rail rifles they fired...and hit the Orks instead(Insert psyker BS that tau don't know here). The pathfinders, cursing made their retreat back to the Devilfish, knowing the CSM's would be on their heels for no time.
