Tellon looked to Regos, for the first time noticing the Magos slung over his pauldron. "As long as he is not torn limb from limb, He'll be fine. Let's get down to the hangar, deploy that bomb, and make our escape to the surface." The group began moving down the halls, Tellon kept his memory sharp to remember all the twists and turns they made to get from there to the bridge. Occasionally a xeno came around a corner or out of an adjacent room. to ensure none could sound the alarm, they purged any small rooms and vaporized any xenos in the halls. Though, this will not last. Eventually, one of them will come across the bodies or try to communicate with the bridge and realize something is wrong when nothing is there to answer them.
OOC: Magos is on Alderson's pauldron. Alderson continued carrying the Magos and has his pistol ready. " I have him just fine brother." He follow the group closely sticking close to the middle as he could to protect his charge.
Farith looked over his shoulder back at Tellon as he watched their rear. "Orders brother?" He would be lying if he said he did not enjoy ending the lives of the wretched xenos. But it was not much of a fight. One day Ormand hoped to find that one worthy adversary...his own "Great Beast" and his honor would be satisfied.
Tellon responded back, "Keep moving towards the hangar and eliminate anything standing in our way." The team was still moving. but the sound of bolter fire told them that they were closing in on the hangar bay. OOC: I'm going to assume that Isaak slaughters every xeno in the hangar bay as athenallas gets the rhino into position.
On the way from the command center to the hangar, the Astartes met opposition of one guard squad, which was all but annihilated except for one who could escape and hit the alarm. By the time Tellon and the rest of his force arrived at the hangar, the base was at full-force already, trying to squash the mighty humans with their sheer numbers. Poor excuses of soldiers swarmed at the Astartes, falling like flies. The bomb was easily prepped, the Astartes merely had to decide on either time or remote explosion. There was a detonator built into the console of the Rhino, which also could be taken along once the explosives were charged. Obviously built in such way that even if the Astartes die, at least once the trigger is pressed that the armament is ready to annihilate anything in imminent range. Nonetheless, the attack finally came to a halt after Regos, Arslan and Farith managed to blockade the three entrances of the room for a short while, but everyone knew it was only a matter of time until they break through or come from the bridge that the tank used to attack them from. And the question of retreat existed still. The modified Rhino was obviously no chance. Perhaps attempt to hijack the Alien King's transport? Just then when that possibility crossed Tellon's mind, the Magos came back to consciousness and climbed himself off Alderson's shoulders, struggling a bit with dizziness - but getting quickly control of his motoric functions once more. "What... Is the situation?" He asked while already assessing it himself, looking around. The Lexmechanic stood idly by, having followed Tellon ever since the control-room incident. OOC: You got a couple of moments to make certain decisions/planning. Primarily being whether remote or timed detonation of the bomb. You may assume that the Aliens cannot break through the Rhino for a gooood while due to it's plating (they may never have encountered Adamantium), I will also assume by default that all doors/entrance points will be closed and deadlocked once you leave in your favor. I will further assume that the Aliens believe that the Rhino was only a transport, not a bomb. Do not forget that there is still the issue with the potential death of Turamodus if Tur'tes Shen does not make it fast enough to his position (station in orbit).

Tellon gave the Magos to full details of what transpired during his period of unconsciousness. Finally ending with, "Now we must set this bomb to detonate and either escape on foot or hijack the alien king's transport." Tellon took some time to think it over and finally queried the Magos, "Can you give me an estimate on how long it would take for us to make it to the surface using the same path on foot?"
"I would suggest an alternate path... These... Creatures. They dug many tunnels.... Purpose unsure.... Possible exhaustion pipes...." He closed his eyes, trying to remember, accessing the data whatever he could save from his interaction with the alien equipment. "The route we came... fifteen minutes, if we sprint for most of the time and not being slowed down by enemy forces... Realistically, thirty minutes. Alternate route... Ten minutes if we sprint. But much denser, better for our forces size, allows to bottleneck the enemy. Barely fits a Rhino-chassis. Realistically, twenty minutes to reach the surface." He opened his eyes again.
Reunited! Climbing from the Rhino Athenallas took a second to assess the situation. It looked like it would be a fire-&-movement retreat no matter which way they pulled out. Tinkering with the shoulder-launcher Athenallas loaded the weapon with frag missiles, taking out a concussion missile for if they had to collapse a tunnel.
Tellon had to think, quickly, the xenos bashes were getting louder and louder. "Were gonna take our chances with the Alternate route. Set the bomb on a timed detonation for 25 minutes to makeup for any chance that the enemy could slow us down." Tellon looked to his team, "We'll move as one. Isaak and Farith and I will take the lead, The Magos, and the Lexmechanic will remain in the center. Regos and Alderson shall be on the side of the Magos and Lexmechanic in the center. Apothecary Tur'tes will flank the Magos and Lexmechanic. Arslan and Athenallas will be at the back." OOC: Who what where? Visual aid incase that gets confusing.
