"Alright, on my lead. I'll blast the doors and you fire off inside. We go like that until every room is secured. Ready?" the Khan explained and approached the first door. Once everyone was ready, he would kick at it and try to open it like that after which he would wait at the side for the initial fire of his comrades before barging in and finding any targets for his chainsword to slash.
As the Scion rode inside the Repressor, he would analyze his equipment and evaluate which defensive-line tactics would be most beneficial; as he finished such an internal discussion, he would assess damage to his carapace from the previous strife, using materials in his Martyr's Gift Kit to seal breaches in his 'hull'-like armor. Ferenien was making busy preparations for the upcoming events; stopping at adequate arrangements with his gear and weapons-- He would wait afterwards, not passing conversation or friendly acknowledgements, just silent sitting.
'Firebat' as his final act before boarding the vehicle himself. Started to cleanse the area with fire. He recovered all the equipment and the xeno machine into the chimera, then used his flamer to burn the bodies and blood of the battleground. All was left was ash.
"I'd rather try this..." Miria stated as she drew her bolt pistol and fired twice at eye level into the door, hoping to punch a hole into the door that she could see through.
~~Underhive ---> Cathedral~~ As the foursome of Kais (Who had to tag along with the others for a chance at getting medical treatment for her missing arm), K'tikathat, SPECTER-77 and Agent 51 entered the Chimera, Terna did her best to further tend to their wounds but given she only had a field medipack, no missing limbs could be fixed, not questioning why both Tau and Kroot were there if they had fought alongside a Tech-Guard and Assassin. With the sniper now the new Squad Leader, she solemnly nodded at the Xenos request to.... consume Sarge. It wasn't like his corpse would have been turned into soylant verdian and then eaten by someone else, anyway, while Arano carried the Freedom's Angels officer in to the Chimera. As the group travelled back up to the normal area of the hive, the officer the team had captured woke up, and upon seeing the people she was sharing the ride with, any hope of making an escape was dashed. Arano promptly punched her in the face, so she was lulled back into unconsciousness. Meanwhile Terna was having to work with the Chimera's vox-caster, but soon a message came though which lead to her to say "Sounds like someone wants you lot at the Cathedral, a fair chunk of the PDF and the Aribites, so we're going there" ~~Banquet Hall + Backroom ---> Cathedral~~ As Miria, Sedric, Ogedei and Boris looked through every other marked door, they would find that a few more doors hid more Plague Zombies that they had quickly dispatched before the undead became a problem, but a few also hid weapon caches, but nothing that was worth taking. With there being nothing else to here that warranted intervention from them, they along with Alicia, Astra and Zoran ended up commandeering another PDF Chimera to get to their destination on time. As they departed, Narthen, Hera and Lady Ionria waved them off, all of them glad that finally the wretched cult problem was finally being solved. ~~Cathedral~~ When all of the Retinue arrived in their various modes of transport, they would find that there was already signs of battle between the Arbites and the PDF that were holding a perimeter around the once holy place, the merit of an Inquisitor requesting the aid meant they had done everything as fast as they could. Already there were cultists on the steps of the Cathedral and loyal servants of the Emperor in the perimeter alike having fallen in battle. Those that were loyal were being put to one side, to receive their last rites while the diseased corpses of the cultists that were too close to the perimeter were burnt to ashes. As for how the building faired from what was apparent the stained glass windows were broken by bullet holes and the main entrance scored by grenades. While Takeshi, Theanon, Astra, Ogedei, Miria, Boris, Sedric, Firebat, Pierce and Zoran were not accosted as they gathered together in the main command post, and seek medical attention if necessary and even K'tikathat was allowed to roam freely after a brief talk between the Chief Arbite and the PDF Sergeant who had accidently locked up the Kroot in the Chimera. But as for Kais.... Well, being both a Xenos and not being with the Inquisitor, meant she was forced at gunpoint to stay in Chimera, and as Alicia approached the Xenos she said "Well, well... Another Xenos. Tell me Tau, how did you arrive on this world, and why should I consider sparing your life?" Everyone else who wasn't being tended to by medics or getting new limbs were being gathered up for a tactical briefing on the situation, which Archen was giving. Just by his personal Repressor, with a more portable version of a Hololith currently displaying a map of the Cathedral, the Chief Arbitrator said "Well, while we wait for the Inquisitor to deal another Xenos that was found... I'll give you an overview of the situation." As he tapped a few commands into the control panel which turned the map of the Cathedral into a wireframe 3-D model, he said "From what we can tell, the cultists have turned the main nave of the Cathedral of the Emperor's Light into a stronghold while they conduce their foul rites else where in the place. So far, we have three ways into the building: Through the front door, down the side of the church and in via a side entrance which must have made for the Adepts of Mars to tend to the machines in the building." The Hololith he was using had two red pings, one in the front of the model where the main entrance would be, and on lower down, by the left side of the Cathedral was the side entrance he was talking about, with the second red ping." ~~~~~~ @Coffeechipmunk @High_Adept_Zeth @Shadhunter @TechCaptain @Colapse @Casavay @Verticus @Vulpas @DeranVendar @Uriel1339 @torque @GoreWrencha
"Let's smoke the place out. Several incendiary grenades, frag grenades and flamers at all entrances and just burn them to the ground. The Cathedral can be re-built. Everyone inside will die and those who dare to run into the perimeters will be sliced down. We don't need the Inquisitor for such simple attack." Takeshi said straight out, cutting the Silver Shroud style a bit down as he was quite sick of the situation and he just wanted to bring the entire rebellion to a swift end with an iron fist, or in this case - holy flames. Simple gang vs. gang tactics which were shared among the Arbites whenever they had to get rid of some heavy dug in gangers in the hives. This was no different, except that in this case the gang was a bunch of crazies who lost their marbles and joined with the forces of chaos.
<Before arrival at the Cathedral> "I'd like to report that I came across an enemy convoy in the wastelands which carried some sort of plague material," Ogedei spoke to Inquisitor while they traveled, "I was unable to stop it on my own however I've done enough damage to sabotage it to a degree and I'm sure they haven't reached their destination with complete amount of cargo. As for the destination, I managed to capture one of the cultists guarding the convoy and he told me that they worked for a representative of the Imperial Church here on this planet who worked in the nearby hive, which means that this corruption might be much deeper than we originally thought. Also Zorane, @High_Adept_Zeth my bike was damaged in the battle and I would appreciate it if you could take a look at it once we are done here." <Now> "We can tie them up in the front while a strikeforce attacks from the sides or using that secret passage? What I would like to know is what are our assets? Number of troops, vehicles, heavy weapons, things like that?"
OOC: Sorry for not responding, been a busy weekend. Kais slowly removed her helmet, and put it next to her. "I have no plans to cause harm. If I wanted to kill you, don't you think I would have when we were fighting that beast? I came here in my own way, one that I prefer not to say. It's also not like I can do much harm at the moment." She moves her stump of an arm around, showing her handicap.
Ferenien listened to the brief and the information given; it was time for him to give his advisements and establish his worth for this soon-to-be battle. "This Scion has been equipped with a Grav-Chute; Such a quick maneuvering device will make this Scion able to take and preserve artifacts still protected by the Emperor's light in the case of purging this Cathedral; It can also be used to assault through the windows easily in the case of an assault. On the matter of the side entrance, these heretics have completely taken this holy place, which means there is a high percentage of being traps in the undercroft, it cannot be ruled out because of such." The Scion nodded, he was finished giving his two-cents at the brief, he remained where he was in the case of additional commentaries from others and the set of a finite plan.
After seeing the 3D image sedric sighs seeing how their are 2 main entrances, and is a bit eager to confront this strong hold, sedric cant tell if hes more filled with disapoint ment or excitement that the strong hold was found that fast. Sedric expected a week to two weeks tops for their location to be found. And is if anything glad hes fighting nurgles worshippers, hes fought them before but it ended with what could be called a victory. "We could use fire bat in the front. From my experience with these lot fire works really well." sedric puts his finger on his chin and takes out yet another cigar and lights it.
