The Necrons march continued on. The Hormagaunt kept the Human somehow tight on his back, carrying him into safety. Verticus who had only barely cover was spotted by an Immortal who blew his cover off. The Guardsman threw a grenade and leaned over the cover, launching several salvos into his enemies. But the Necrodermys had no problems with such primitive weaponry, a few aimed shots into the Humans head killed him instantly. The Sororitas put the room under lockdown, locking the Tau out for good of the main hall and the Vault, the Vault closing down behind Ithera and Gretchin, three Sororitas running within, just now spotting them. The Dark Eldar shot at them, killing two with poisonous shots into their back and then took cover behind one of the statues. 'eadstabba was right above the Vault entrance in a higher located area, seeing that Ithera wouldn't be able to defend herself as she was on top of a ladder, climbing to the higher areas, he decided to jump, slamming his knife over and over and over into the Sororitas, killing her, only because he took her by surprise. The Necron Warrior was met by his own kin, luckily his repair protocols were just completed and he obliterated the first surprised of his own kin, his mind-probe (the translator and friendly fire denying device) forcing a self-defense protocol upon him in case he would not shoot due them being his own kin. The Termagaunt kept on running, meeting two Orks, the Hormagaunt and the other human upstairs which were fighting the Tau. With them being locked out they focused entirely on the other threat. Jones was the most skilled ranged fighter in this case and kept them at bay with the help of the Termagaunt, the acid eating through the regular Firewarrior armor, but lacking to penetrate the XV-8 Crisis Suit. The enormous Hormagaunt has caused some scare among the Tau as it seemed, the Orks running behind him and supporting him. "WAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!" The three melee units jumped from target to target, slaughtering them all and soon they retreated. Ithera finally was at the last drawer in the very top-right corner of the vault and there it had been. The Black little cube. She put it in her sack she got like anyone else, even the Gaunts. And then like the most were accustomed to, they had been back on the foreign and unique world with even more unique population. List of Survivors: Everyone except Verticus
As Jones was teleported back with the rest, he was at first shacken as usual. Then came the nice feeling of all the small wounds being healed, this mission haddent gorne too bad for him, but then again, he hadent been to much help. he looked around, seeing only one of the guardsmen had survived the ordeal, this saddened him a little, but atleast one of them survived, along with most of the original team. It was there Jones saw a new dog, he hadent really paid much attention to it during the last frantic moments of the mission. he knelt beside the gaunt, "hey look dog, it looks like another of your kind have joined us." he said patting the gaunts head. he then rised again looking to the rest of the team, "im going for a nap" he said leaving for his own room, he was sure whoever found the artifact would give it to the blue giants.
Salek hadn't much in the way of reservation about shooting his own kin, the victory on that forsaken world would be theirs none the less, he put no real dent in that endeavor. Instead of checking in on the others as he had been won't to do he felt compelled to retreat to his sarcophagus for maintenance, for...change. Entering his own obsidian cubicle Salek slumbered, submitting himself to the tide of Scarabs once more.
Although biomass consumption was less than on other missions, evolution was still required. It sprinted off to it's lair, the spasms of evolution already wracking it's body.
OOC: better save somethin' for me, brah The termagant gingerly made its way to where the massive hormagaunt was feasting on Tau cadaver. BIG, DO NOT DISTURB, CONSUME. The termagant may have the initiative to devour any and all flesh when it had the chance, but it was not foolish enough to interfere with the meal of a beast that it knew it could not beat in a challenge, even if the hormagaunt is an ally. Instead, the termagant skirted around the hormagaunt to corpses that it had not yet reached and made a small "meal pile" that it hurriedly dove face-first into.
OOC: @ Hive Tyrant I forgot you are new..... Everyone has an own 'room' some kind of interdimensional warp gate that has a housing to your preferences and likings and whatever you want. All your loot is stored there too
Once more the Necron's sarcophagi opened, a flood of scarabs skittering out across the floor to their registered cubbies. Emerging out into the dim light of his room Salek clacked his new hand augments together, flexible jointed claws that would give him greater clout in close combat but still allow him to bear his weaponry without hindrance. It was good. Carrying himself outside the outwardly inconspicuous room he looked about for the others.
