<Cha'ka> The Kroot makes it out of the tunnel way ahead of the rest of the team. Looking around at their basesite, he inquires to the nearest Stormtrooper. "How is everything up here?"
"Perimeter secure, no incidents." The man replied swift, giving him an acknowledging nod. Obviously knowing better than to inquire what happened in the cave, he would learn if it was of importance.
<Cha'ka> "Very good, inform the pilot that we will be taking off as soon as the rest of the team arrives, and tell Zeth to pack up his lab quickly."
Phoebus "Mutant xeno scum! You're lucky I can't prove your a heretic or your death would not be quick." The creatures had Phoebus caught on his left arm, pulling the cart, and around his neck. Revving his chain sword and letting go of the cart, he severed the tentacles restraining him. "Selina, hold on!" Phoebus shouted. Grabbing her around the waist with his right arm, not desiring to accidentally harm her while she struggled with the tentacle. He then threw a frag grenade with his free left hand down the corridor. Hoping to end whatever was pulling them back.
"Aye aye!" The man saluted and then went off to do his duty. "Genetor." The Stormtrooper started. "Pack up the laboratories A-S-A-P. We are leaving as soon as the rest of the team has arrived. We shall aid you in disassembling the equipment and transportation to the Valkyries if required." Before Zeth could wonder about the 'we', the second Stormtrooper arrived.
<Team 2> Phoebus luckily could free himself rather quickly, but Selina was too far dragged to reach her so he resorted to the grenade throw. Though Selina was still pulled, she was capable of cutting the tentacle off before being too far dragged off. Having dropped the Flamethrower and Eviscerator she only had her knife. The Flamethrower was way out of reach, the Eviscerator next to the Astartes. The explosion had revealed a huge creature, filling almost the entire hallway as it marched toward Selina and ultimately to the hangar. Quite bigger than a Terminator or Centurion... And completely out of flesh with multiple maws and tentacles. The sight of this thing might drive mere humans mad, but no Sister of Battle or Astartes, yet... Retreat most likely would be the wiser choice. "Join... Me... And... My... Children..." It spoke slow, strong and in a very deep voice - echoing all the way to the Hangar as it was relayed through the ships speakers.
-Selina- "... We should tactically retreat to the hangar." Selina said as she ran over to Phoebus to pick up her Eviscerator.
I would rather not leave the others behind.... but such is war. SA582 at first complied with the Inquisitor's orders, moving with speed to the Valkyrie but it seized up when the creature spoke, from an almost primal fear of something that happened long ago in its past... It seemed afraid, dropping it's Multi-Melta onto the floor. Is that..... No it can't be that.....
Team 2 Hearing the Inquisitor's words, Loki quickly holstered his weapon and signaled others to slowly start packing. He peered into the hallway and saw distant forms of the Sister and the Lamenter jogging towards them, while something dark was following close behind them. "Stormtroopers, organize a firing line and man that heavy bolter," he ordered while pointing at the exit from which the rest of the team would emerge. "And prepare to fire on my command." Quickly, he opened a link to his squad, "Selina, Phoebus, the moment you step in the hangar, dodge to the sides. We shall greet your friend in kind." Waiting from his position near the Valkyrie's hatch (you could never be too safe), Loki waited for his comrades and prepared to give orders to fire... EDIT SA582 and his strange reaction draw Torturer's attention. Reluctantly, he drew his sword and addressed the machine. "What's wrong? I thought machines can't feel fear?!"
Phoebus "Agreed," Phoebus responded. Sprinting with Selina, Phoebus threw another frag. Hoping it would slow the bulk monster down. 'Such an abomination has no place to exist, let along on a imperial vessel.' Hearing Loki's order, Phoebus increased his stride. Moving along side the Repentia, Phoebus could see she was falling behind. Thinking quickly, he scooped he up bridle style and made for the hanger entrance. "My apologies Repentia, nothing to chance." Upon passing the threshold, he dived to the right. Out of the weapons sights. OOC: I think I abandoned the cart of treasures.
