Linkin, understanding the value of having an angry tau (maybe even mutated) mob rampaging through the facility can be of significant advantage to his mission, acted quickly. Switching to the Kraken Round as he opened the door, the first shot went to the machine about to disembowel the tau, the proceeding shots went to the cameras, destroying them all quickly. He then, with lightning speed, spins around to aim the bolter at the spot where the turret would descend from, anticipating the need to shred it to pieces before it fully deploys.
The first 3 shots killing the Servitor quick and merciless. The first shot got rid of the saw, the second shot hitting the Servitor in his side and the third penetrated his skull, ending his life for good. The cameras exploded one after another, sending an alarm out, the Turret reacting with it's own attached sensors and comes out, aiming upon the still restrained Tau as it was prioritized to shoot at Xenos. Linkin used the moment to shoot down the Turret before it could fulfill it's purpose. It would be a question of minutes before reinforcements come in to take down any escaped specimen. But probably it would be enough time for Linkin to get the naked female Tau some equipment and explore these "Chambers".
Linkin, hearing the alarm, quickly bashes the restraints off of the xenos, and for once, despite on clear wording on the Codex of Suffer not the Xenos to live, pushes the xenos off the table. He quickly holters the bolter and rips the table out of the ground, throwing it towards the entrance, blocking it. He then picks up the dead servitor and throws it too against and around the table, further barricading the entrance. The Red Scorpion still ignores the xeno and, with weapon ready now, moves to the tanks around the room, examining them, while keeping one eye on the doorway.
With each door slightly blocked, Linkin bought a bit time to examine the room closer. As he approached the Stasis Capsules he noticed some chests with the equipment of the captured Xenos sticking out, or at least one Tau Rifle. To Linkin's surprise and disgust in the stasis capsules were not more Tau, but .... a male Eldar, an Ork and another Tau, Male. Each having an individual release button to free the Xenos. Just as he was done with his examination it could be heard that Skitarii were coming close.
Linkin looked one more time over to the doors, where a plasma torch was already cutting through the dead servitor and the table at each door. He ran down the tanks, hitting the release buttons on all of them. As the tanks let loose the cargoes, the Red Scorpion tucked himself away in a darker corner, behind the last tank in the corner of the room and aimed down his bolter at the rear entrance. Linkin decided that he'll only fire upon those who notice him, and switches his ammo to regular bolter rounds, not knowing whether he'll have to put down a xeno or a Skitarii in the next few minutes.
OOC: I'll be away for the whole weekend in a place with only my slow mobile internet, so I might be less active. Colapse, feel free to play my character if needed (roleplaywise I have an oath to follow your commands so it makes the most sense). I'll do my best to participate, but who knows?...
The female Tau, regaining her senses as she was under the influence of sedatives. She noticed that someone... something wants to get inside and that she was naked, noises came from a different reaction and a male Tau, a male Eldar and an Ork were released, stepping slowly out and looking at eachother, everyone being naked. First they were confused and were about to hit eachother, but then the Ork spoke up, to the surprise of everyone. "Letz get zum dakka!" And ran over a to one of the crates, almost slipping and falling, throwing all the stuff out until finding something for himself. The male Tau and Eldar each catch a weapon their likings as if the Ork would have thrown it right in their arms. The Eldar equipped with a blade smirks. "I will bring the death quick and painless to our takers!" He says, catching another blade, being now re-united with his twin blades Fire and Ice. The Male Tau throws a Pulse Rifle over to the Female Tau. "Catch, Shas'Saal!" He yells and she catches it, nodding. "At your command, Shas'O!" with the Rifle in her arms she walked to her commander, taking cover next to him. "AHHHH!" The Ork says and grabs a huge automatic firing gun, usually used by Shootaboyz. "Finally zum DAKKA!" He yells and starts shooting around until the Tau Commander pokes the Ork on his shoulder who then stops firing and nods. "What iz it ya git?!" He asked and pointed the Gun at the Tau. "For the Greater Good we must work together to kill those who have taken us here, I would assume their system malfunctioned and released us, so let us make this count and break out!" The Shas'O barked, being one head taller than the Ork and being the tallest in general of the released Xenos. "Alright alright, ya da biggezt! ya da boss!" He admitted and walked over between the Commander and Shas'Saal, The Commander pointing at one door with his Pulse Rifle, the Female on the other one and the Ork looking at both at the same time as he manages somehow his right eye to look on the right door and the left eye on the left door, the Eldar is ducked behind some cover next to them, ready with his Blades to strike..... Nobody noticed Linkin. OOC: just leaving you with this so you can decide what to do, the Skitarii are breaking through next narration so you can do a last preparation
OOC: Ok this seems like a major point in our adventure, and since I'm not the leader or anything, I won't force any decisions, but I'll try to make the best of it. I wrote this because I'd really like James to reply with his opinion, so I don't end up screwing him. Anyway, since I'm up for splitting (should make things even more interesting and intense, like in the horror moves ), I'll go with this team-up: - Me & Blood Angel must go together, so I'll go with him and pick up Devastator with us for fire support, and because our setup without him is pretty much limited to melee slashing and throwing one-liners. - James & Apothecary in the other team. I suggested this because Iron Hand can try and tinker with consoles, interact with machines etc, and he carries lots of explosive to fuck up lots of Skitarii, and Apothecary can go and support him and heal him if things go ugly. Like this we could cover more ground since both James and I will write for our team (If Hokken doesn't write anything, like he mentioned it might happen). Ofc James, If you don't like this just ignore it, go with us together, or propose your setting, its all cool And Hokken, since you are not here, in my opinion it would be stupid if I try to play with your char any more than needed, so I'll just use him like this: wherever Chaplain goes, Nathaniel goes with him - if we enter battle, Chaplain charges, Nathaniel is right next to him etc... .... Stevanus watched as the Librarian disappeared in the gloom of the corridor. Good luck brother, he thought, and turned to remaining marines. "Then it is settled. Nathaniel, Devastator and me are going to take the passage leading south (OOC 2nd passage from the left), and see where it leads us. Also, if you happen to reach an intersection, use your combat knife and mark the way you went, in case we need to find each other - X for left and Y for RIGHT. If there are more than 2 ways, put another letter from the gothic alphabet (OOC this is perhaps too stretched out, but fuck it )" "Good hunting brothers. The Emperor protects." With those words he left, leading Blood Angel and Devastator into the dark corridor towards their elusive goal...
