OOC: Americans and Europeans, typical imagine we would also have some asians or oceanian ppl! From EST (US east coast) to GMT+1 (west-central europe like germany, austria) it's 6 hours difference, from EST to GMT+2 (east europe like serbia) 7 hours and from PST (US west coast) to GMT+1 it's even 9 hours I believe.
Nathaniel ran back to the rest of the squad adressing the Apothecary. "The Red Scorpion doen't answer my Vox messages. I'd jump down there but I don't think I can fit with my Wings. What action shall we take, commander?" He than quickly swiftly his head to Tempestus. "Brother psyker, can you sense him? It is unwise to stand by while he's missing!" The assault marine started to grow uneasy with every passing moment. OOC Please specify if the vent is wide enough for me
OOC: well.... you are already within the facility with the others.... so no vent ^^ Linkin fell into it from outside on the surface, he stepped on it and crashed into it. Also there is no vent visible through where you are ; what your guys and Linkin do not know yet is that it goes through the walls and doesn't hang around. As said it is no air conditioning vent.... ^^
Linkin was proceeding along the corridor as a voice spoke in his head, "are you all right Linkin?" He stopped, confused for a second, before remembering a psyker in the kill-team. He briefly considered the possibility that another source was speaking to him, luring him into a trap, but realized that there wasn't a simple way an potential enemy could have known his name. Seeing as he has no possible way of responding to the psyker by the same means, he could only hope that the pskyer can read his thoughs from afar "I'm fine, are the others trying to reach me through vox?" He thought about the question, the quickly added, "if they are remind them of the Codex Procedure of radio silence, the enemy may know we're here but he doesn't need to know that we're all not together, let alone my position." He continues down the southern vent, keenly aware that enemy troops or personnel are moving mere inches from him, separated by the walls of the vent and the facility. He continues to mark down his path from time to time on the cartograph as he moves forward.
Looking around at the different passages and listening to the sounds of approaching forces Alviss turns to the rest of the squad, "At least this wont be boring." He then begins checking the passageways for signs of where they lead.
Nathaniel attached his chainsword and Bolt pistol in place and readied his Combat knives. "Stealth should be the highest priority, brothers. Try not to make any noise". His whispering stopped, but the marine continued to silently mouth some words to himself.
No way is really indicating where they lead, no colored stripes, no signs, no nothing. Whoever runs this facility must really want to make it hard to give intruders a hard time. Also from the east tunnels something came around the corner first. It had been a skitarii with a heavy flamer. "Stay where you are and consider yourself captured, you will be brought to our leader." It says in it's synthetic voice, more Skitarii's coming from behind him with different equipment, also the sounds from where they came from getting louder, indicating approaching forces. The furthest away sounded the west and north of their location. The troops have moved past Linkin as they move in the opposite direction of him. As he continued at least 30 seconds he reached a position where it was complete silent. No working servo arms, no moving things, nothing beeping.
Nathaniel removed his helmet, revealing his long blonde hair, took his chainsword again, igniting it to produce a loud sound and shouted at the Skitarii: "We are the God-Emperor's Angels of Death and we command you to throw down your weapons immediately! Do it now, or you shall be destroyed as heretics and enemies of the Throne!" Mad sparks flash in his eyes.
Linkin paused and makes a mark to indicate his current position, then tries to determine the direction that he had came from using the cartograph (Where he was compared to the vent he fell through). He also tries to scan the environment using the sensors/auspex of helmet plus preysight to see if the area he is was any different from the markerless vents he had been traveling through. OOC: btw when Linkin heard the noise/movement, from which direction was it coming from in relations to the vent? (Above, below, left, right, etc.)
