@Maleth Red merely, nodded as he received the nod and the praise from the preist, keeping his eye on the injured tau he turned to Arleen. "Arleen are you alright!? I was called in here by one of the sisters hearing you needed me and macharius?" Red asked, his other hand and arm that was around Arleen's waist retracted after he was sure the Felnid hospitlater was steadied on her feet. The crusader somewhat concerned on there hostpialters health but a part of his concentration went to making sure the tau didn't do anything more tricky, Red had several questions for the felnid and the tau.
Denton snarled as he was unable to find a way out, and shook his head at the inquisitor. He was starting to wonder if the man had lost his mind. He began to skirt around the edges, looking for a weapon - or a way out - while keeping a carful eye on the Tau. He cursed himself for letting the inquisitor get himself into this, and he was going to do his best to survive this as he had so much else. If only he had one of his knives, he would be able to help dismantle that dammed suit...
++ DEATH WATCH ASTARTES MISSION LOG ++ Ruine began to slow ever so slightly. But he stood tall, disregarding his injury's. " Come Brothers our purpose lies done... We must extract before the vessel crashes" (OOC : Defensive stance
"Damn this all, Smiley!" Alnar shouted and stood up from behind a table he had been searching under from. He vaulted over it and sprinted towards the suit, to help his friend disarm it. "I swear if I lose a limb to this I'll give you a manicure you won't soon forget!" @BuriasDempsey His tirade came fast and angry, not at Karack but to to this whole screwed up situation.
Taking a few breaths after having succesfully ripping the battlesuit in half, Tyr took up his bolter again, as the lower part of the detroyed battlesuit gave him momentary protection, though this was not to be a prolonged firefight, surely they where allready drawing late with their extraction. Taking up his bolter again he started firering into the opposing fire team, Just as they themselves punished the overextenting blood raven, Tyr dident know if he was live or dead since he dident wear his helmet, though weather there was even time to extract him could be the end of it. Leaving cover and moving fowards methodicly gunning at the fire-team Tyr knew the only way to atleast save his legacy would be to pick up momentum now, break the Tau and carry him out in a damned hurry. Ooc: All out attack
@Uriel1339 Goreparan used his momentum and bulk to rush towards the beleaguered blood raven. He would use as much cover and evasive actions as he could to get to the raven without letting himself get hurt too much in the process. The ovjective looked like it had been acomplished and even if the tech marine needed to fiddle with the controls a bit longer the others should be able to handle it for the moment. OCC: Full defense, 1 on sirus and 1 on self.
Obiken ignored most of the fighting going on around him, focused on the heretical technology on the console where he dueled multiple opponents throughout the ship in order to lock down the controls of the engines and steering thrusters. After several waves of fighting by his brothers, he seemed to have completed his objective, watching as the imminent collision alerts flashed silently at his face from the console. The techmarine had already shut off most of the alarms' aspects in order to give as little away to the larger Tau forces as possible. With the amount of locks, double locks and hardwires he had pushed into the system, the ship should be well within the planet's atmosphere by the time the crew managed to wrestle control back; by then, it would soon become another aspect of the planet's geography below. Mag locking his boots onto the ground, Obiken turned and readied his weapon, having shut down the console to the point where it would require an earth caste engineer to tear up and reboot the entire thing to access it again. "Brothers, brace yourselves. Imminent impact with an enemy vessel in thirty to forty solar seconds. Captain, objective completed. Recommend immediate extraction before the planet locks this vessel within its permanent gravitational pull." With that, he readied his own multi melta once more, looking for targets for him to destroy so that they may exit the vessel before it began burning up in the atmosphere during reentry. @Grall_Stonefist @Kalle @SpeceralWolfe @Tamu
~~ Kill-Team Deathwatch ~~ Reunited Spoiler @Grall_Stonefist - Tyr Nosebreaker, Space Wolf Grey Hunter (Tactical) @Kalle - Sirius, Blood Raven Tactical @SpeceralWolfe - Ruine Master, Imperial Fist Assault @WanderingJester - Obiken, Exorcist Techmarine @Tamu - Goreparan, Minotaur Apothecary Varuuk laughed heartily like a captains ship into the face of a storm that might sink them. "Well done, Brother of Mars!" He responded and started to move forward. "Let us go the way we came! We need to get as close to the hull as we can!" The Iron Hand yelled, axe in one hand, bolt pistol in the other as he rushed forwards, not wanting to leave Sirius behind. He fired as he ran into the attacking Fire Warriors who apparently knew they were going to die either way. He managed to shoot one down, his aim being off by quite a lot and not used to seeing Fire Warriors move that fast, fast compared to their regular selves anyway. One particular Tau noticed where the shot came from and retaliated right back at the Iron Hands Captain, taking yet another shot that burned right through his chest. Not enough to fell him yet, but make him gasp in pain. He reminded himself, "Flesh is Weak!" and pushed onward. Hearing apparently the news, and noticing the sudden movement of the Space Marines, the battlesuit pilot must have concluded that his focus should lie elsewhere and he used his jump pack to accelerate forwards, past Varuuk and right in front of Obiken. The Fusion Blaster was aimed right at the Techmarine who deactivated his mag-lock just in time to evade the pulverizing shot. Although half the console was incinerated on the spot. The Exorcist returned the favor gladly and incinerated the arm with the missile launcher. However, now a giant Tau battlesuit was blocking his path. Tyr gave the Fire Warriors hell, disciplined fire of a Grey Hunter punching alien after alien in the chest and head, dropping three of them before getting a grazing shot across his ear, melting some of his hair and the lobe of his left ear. The pain stung, but he was yet to live. The Tau started to get closer and they had to get past them now, unless the Deathwatch was going to gamble and see if they were going to survive the crash while the Tau certainly wouldn't. Goreparans goal and the position of the remaining forces of the Tau overlapped. But he was a Minotaur and Apothecary on the mission to save a comrade's life. The giant beast-like man rushed through the enemy, bashing them aside with his shoulder while using it also to cover himself while shooting. He downed two Tau when he had to holster his weapon to grab Sirius and carry him without dropping him or exposing him too much to enemy fire. The Blood Raven grunted and growled, but still reached for his pistol and aimed at a random Tau, firing half the magazine with his dizzy aim and the fact that Goreparan was carrying him around. Eventually one of the many shots fell another Tau, blasting the leg off and making him drop. The Raven might not have suffered any additional wounds, but his savior took a plasma shot right into his lower back, making him stumble for a moment as there was a burning sensation right on the end of his spine. Ruine left without a battlesuit to fight, joined the fray against the Fire Warriors. Not rushing in, but instead picking his targets as they tried to close in on Tyr, wanting to rush either right on him or past him to take care of Obiken. Either way, the Imperial Fist jumped out just when two Tau passed him by, eviscerating them with his deadly blade. But when he wanted to move back into his cover, a grenade laid at his feet. He ran, but a tick too slow, the blast melting the floor beneath and swallowing the Space Marine. But he managed to hold onto the ledge instead of drop down a deck. With an audible growl and a strong pull, he got himself out of the hole, although his greaves got a bit damaged it was luckily not much more than that. Eight Tau remained, and together they pushed yet forward, all guns aimed at Tyr. But their fire was so unconcentrated and all over the place, having done nothing but destroyed his cover for good. OOC: Fire Team is extremely motivated and don't care about their lives anymore (Extreme Caution!) Reminder: Goreparan usually can heal 1d3 as full action.

I'm fine, Red." Arleen said, regaining her footing and slowly moving away from his support. "We didn't had to this, you know? If you all just would have left, we would have been fine." The Felinid said exasperated, but not going low to insult or such. "Do as you wish with the Tau, for my words clearly fall on ears that are as deaf as the walls." She shook her head while leaving, seeking companionship in loneliness. The Tau sobbed and fought straight-out crying, because it would probably earn him punches and kicks anyway. His eyes were shut together tightly, rocking slightly back and forth, one hand clutching the stump where his other lower arm and hand was shot off. In the meanwhile at the shrine and the main part of the chapel, Macharius witnessed a happy-as-ever preacher simply making his round and blessing everyone with the protection of their saint, and the power of the God-Emperor. He seemed ecstatic and if anything did the opposite of rallying the people into an uprising against the Tau. The stormtrooper eventually was approached by a little boy with a broken toy. It was a Baneblade with the primary cannon having fallen off. The Stormtrooper knew that easily could fix it, was he to use just a bit of heat to get the plastic to melt back together. On the other hand, someone might have instant glue around? The child did not speak but only hold up the two pieces as high as he could towards the mute stormtrooper. He was easily no older than 8, his clothes were tattered and his face dirty as if he didn't shower in a few weeks, clothes also were probably scarce with the focus being water and food. Vissarya would observe nothing out of the extraordinary. At the top of the belltower was their resident tech priest she knew has sought refuge there since the palace was attacked and his office having been there. He set up a little camp around the guarding walls of the belltower and rested currently in his bed, even though Vissarya was sure that Tech priests didn't need exactly sleep. She saw his sleeping form holding tightly onto the icon of the machine god. Perhaps he was trying to commune with Him? Or desired to know what action he was to take. It wasn't the first time someone as zealous as Vissarya, Sister Superior, herself saw such gestures. But other than that, it was just another cold night with whipping winds and rain. Team Defector Spoiler @BadDo9 - Denton 'Longfang' Reach, Catachan @Colapse - Rei, Telekinetic Psyker @BuriasDempsey - Karack 'Smiley', Verathian Ghost-Tooth (Psyker) @Wata - Alnar, Eldar Corsair Reaver @Taec - Laeris, Dark Eldar Trueborn Rei felt the warp, it was her complete slave, and she used it to compress the Tau further, but noticed that the metal wouldn't bend further. Despite her coughing from either smoking one Iho-sticks too many, or the more likely cause of the deadly stench around, she maintained her concentration and kept the invisible chains tightly around the battlesuit as her comrades attempted to disassemble it. Karack at first made good progress on the Suits weaponry. His claws were getting slowly but steadily through the material. But then, just for a moment the battlesuit moved. Unclear if Rei lost concentration or if it was Alnar's actions. Either way, Karack slipped with his bone claw as he was one moment sawing with all of his might and in the next the resistance was completely gone, falling slightly forward and banging his head badly on the ultra-reinforced armor of the commanders battlesuit. Alnar didn't notice that Karack hit his head and assumed the noise meant that the part was ready to be ripped off. The corsair with all of his might pulled, tugged and dragged. But instead of ripping the weapon apart, the Mechadendrite from the back with the buzzsaw came to life for a few seconds and grinded into the armor of the Corsair. Cegorach wanted him not dead just yet, and the deadly armament stopped just after a a short contact on the Eldars armor. The weapon that Karack was working on was dangling half-way off, but there was still quite some bit to go to get the weapon off... Amleth in the meanwhile cursed and punched the casing of the logic machine he was trying to get into. "They changed all the passcodes, even the overrides! Almost as if they connected it to their own alien-forsaken database!" The Inquisitor growled and left the device alone. But then he got another idea. "Laeris, over here!" He ordered the Dark Eldar. Together the two ripped the screen out, exposing it's wires. They then continued to do the same to the other ones. Once each wire was exposed, they got the power connections and started wrapping them together into one big cable. "Perhaps we can at least do some electrical damage to this 'sophisticated' technology." Amleth called over to the rest of the group, holding the 12-in-1 power cable. And just as Denton was pretty much done with finding a way out, he had observed Amleth and Laeris working on the terminals. But his eyes were more interested in something else. The terminals were built in a circle around the main pillar in the middle. He could just climb up along it and see where the wires led. The Techpriests would need some sort of access to it, if they even constructed and laid the wires. And if not, the aliens still would have an access tunnel, even if it was only for their drones. OOC: Rei and Karack can use their psychic powers. Firestorm is immobilized & stunned for as long as Rei can keep her psychic powers maintained and locked on him. Karack has a -1 on all psychic rolls due to Perils of the Warp for the remainder of the mission. There is an unholy scent around which reduces everyone's rolls by -1, except Firestorm because he has a self-contained air system in the battlesuit. OOC: Spoiler Amleth - 10/10 HP Rei - 9/9 HP Karack - 8/8 HP Alnar - 8/8 HP Laeris - 9/9 HP
Red sighed as he watched the Felnid left, Ignoring his question and His and Macharius work trying to help her, So sure of her skills, and less of any of theirs here, It made red wonder how much of a hospitaliter she truly was and if she could be considered a sister. his one eye on the tau he turned his full attention to him. "Tau, I'll give you a quick way out of this and your suffering, Answer these few questions." Red said coldly looking to the Xeno, "How did you sneak in here, Why are you here?, are there any tau sympathizers here? and What did you hope to do by sneaking in here?", Red asked looking to the tau his bolt pistol still aimed on the tau ready to fire if he tried to attack him.
Vissarya scratched her chin wondering what the tech priest was doing but she just looked at him for a couple of moments pondering what she could do and she decided to sit across from the tech priest whilst still trying to observe to see if there was any incoming assault even though it was dead quiet minus the rain & wind letting the wind & rain quiet her anger towards the priest. A couple moments later she poked the Tech priest with the bottom of her spear to see if he was "living," for a follower of the Machine God.
