With hisses and growls that passed for curses in his tongue, not willing to move his hand away to rub his head that impacted the damnable machine. The weapon even turned on with Alnar less than inches away from the spinning blade. Without saying much else, and seeing the progress he had made so far, the Verathian continued to put his strength and efforts in completely dismembering the limb from the Tau commander's suit.
++ Death watch Astartes mission log ++ Ruine rose to his feet as he turned to the vile Xeno's and charged. he would make them pay for damaging his Armor. As he lifted his maul and took to giving into his Righteous Fury. "By the Holy Emperor! I shall end your ill begotten lives!" (OOC : All out Attack )
"Isha's knickers! That was too close! Hurry up Smiley, it almost ruined my jacket!" The two were committed to it now, no reason to half ass it. As long as Karack kept up, so did Alnar. He wasn't one to ditch a friend in danger, no matter how cynical the Corsair may sound at times.
Macharius knealt down to take the broken toy from the child , first impluse being to see if the cannon could be stuck back onto the tank through simple placement though they could see that would not succeed it was worth a try. Macharius would borrow one of the many lit candles around the chapel for breif moment to heat up the plastic at the broken end of the barrel and reatching it to the toy of the formidable battle tank. Handing the toy back to the boy and making a sound that sounded like straggled laughter as the stormtrooper rustled the childs hair
< @Uriel1339 @Wata @BuriasDempsey > Denton paused at the pillar and looked up to the ceiling, narrowing his eyes. He looked to the inquisitor, who he was still untrustful of, and then to the two working on the suited warrior. He growled some and then leapt onto the pillar, climbing up to the ceiling and looking for a grate or some other way into a maintenance tunnel. "I'll be back." is all he said, before he would climb into the passage to see what he could find.
@Uriel1339 Goreparan grunted as he felt the shots hit him but continued to ignore it. Even as he heard the captain speak the Minotaur continued onward zigzagging as he moved to provide a harder to hit target. Going back the way they came goreparan glanced at the blood raven who continued to fire back behind them. As he continued to run the Minotaur prepared his narthcieum and healing serum. Slightly adjusting the blood raven to expose the others neck the Minotaur said "hold your neck still" as he came to a sudden stop, waited a second for the blood raven to comply and injected the serum into the wounded marine via a neck artery, OCC:Use heal on sirius, full defense 1 on self 1 on sirius
Tyr ignored the flair of pain as one of the Taus shots just missed a chance to make him alot uglier, his cover was all but gorne but so too where the Tau, and so too was their time. Tyr vaulted the last scrap of his self made cover as he shot at the last of the Tau, though his true objective was to truly start the exfiltration, the Tau where doom by now, so where they all actually if they couldent get to the torpedo in time, and he for one was not up for a crash in a Tau ship, any Tau left alive would die in short time, the true goal was to get away. "LETS GET MOVING DAMNIT," OOC: balanced attack defence. getting a move on
Obiken had no sooner readied himself before the next wave of Tau attackers arrived. Their captain charging in to break up the enemy offensive line and a sudden Tau battlesuit surged in and charged up its weapon against him. The techmarine quickly deactivated his mag boots before dodging to the side, before turning his weapon upon the enemy. An incinerating blast removes the missile launcher from the Tau battlesuit, and at the sound of his brothers as well as the timer on his helmet's display showed that they needed to leave quickly. Therefore Obiken raised his multi melta once more and directed the aim at the enemy battlesuit, likely one of the bigger obstacles to their exfiltration. Raising the heavy weapon, he fired quickly before retreating behind cover, in case the one blast proved insufficient to pierce its protective layers and kill the pilot within. Mentally agreeing with the others, he wondered if they might be able to make their own exit in the room, and circumnavigate the enemy should enemy reinforcements arrive. OOC: Balanced attack, defense on self.
~~ Kill-Team Deathwatch ~~ 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 Not anywhere as dramatic as his comrades with the destruction of Crisis Battlesuits, Obiken casually raised his Multi-Melta towards the cabin of the pilot and squeezed the trigger. The superheated shot went right through and left a one-foot deep gap inside of the machine, not quite penetrating it all the way. But to the Techmarines misfortune, the XV-8 Crisis Battlesuit toppled over right on top of him. And despite superhuman strength and the Power Armor, it proved too heavy, especially now that the gravity was pulling on the vessel , for Obiken to push him off. Varuuk saw it and only gave one Tau the Axe, before sprinting back. "Leave! I got Obiken! Go Ahead! Tyr, you lead the team to the evacuation zone!" The Captain roared on top of his lungs, soon enough reaching Obiken and starting to hack at the battlesuit to lessen the weight. "Come! On!" Sirius did not hold still. The Serum was injected, with the needle and the Narthecium still connected to him, he turned almost completely around, bolt pistol still in hand, giving two quick shots in two Fire Warriors which were about to fill the healer and his patient with pulse fire. The Blood Raven was fit enough to stand on his own two legs and Goreparan did allow him to do so. The Administration complete, Goreparan pulled the Narthecium back and managed to pick up a chunk of battlesuit up and throw it at a Fire Warrior who got ready to shoot at them. He didn't kill him, but at least distracted him enough for the group to get going, as he readied for combat once more - rather than healing. That is, if the group was ready to move. Ruine grabbed his maul and like a tornado of death continued the carnage, bashing three heads in - including the one who got distracted by Goreparan. The Imperial Fist had the choice to follow Tyr, Goreparan and Sirius or slaughter the remaining two Tau in attempt to help Varuuk and Obiken. Tyr was giving spray shots but missed in entirety as he got ready to move. Without problem he managed to move, even as the ship started to shake. But then one of the remaining Tau gave him a shot in the the left heel, making him stumble over one of the destroyed battlesuits and fall face-flat on the hard floor. He was obviously not knocked out, but moving was going to be an issue from hereon. Although Sirius came running to his side and put a hand of the Space Wolf around his own shoulder, not desiring to leave him behind. The Raven was groaning from the fresh wounds on him still and the fact how heavy the Space Wolf was. "What have you.. Urgh... Been eating?! M-mammoths?!" Their Vox came to life and a waypoint was marked on their HUDs. "Rygar Pox here. Ready to extract. You have approximate thirty-five seconds to reach the waypoint. With your Astartes physiology, estimated time required is twenty seconds." The electro-priest informed the kill-team. The two remaining Tau sprayed their fire towards Varuuk, rushing in. They knew if they could keep them on-board for just long enough, they would claim the lives of two Astartes - and that is exactly what a sacrifice was worth in the name of the Greater Good. They did not manage yet a successful hit, as the downed battlesuit offered good protection. But soon it was either going to be Varuuks lucky shots while performing his rescue action, or the Tau. Unless someone else was going to risk their life and being stuck on the vessel with the Techmarine and the Captain - considering it would slow them significantly down and may make them miss the extraction vehicle. Then there was also the chance that Obiken could free himself, after all he does have a Servo-Arm mounted on his back. 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.

The rest... You don't really care about." The Tau answered, staring at his missing hand. "Why else you would have not interrupted the Mutants conversation... But that's how you Imperials are, isn't it? You are on top of all living beings... You rule, and others are either getting killed... Or those close enough to your biology enslaved..." The teenager started to laugh in hysteria, the pain overwhelming him as it got harder and harder to stay conscious. In the meanwhile Vissarya would just awake a slumbering tech priest who groaned as he got up. "What do you want, Sister Superior Vissarya? I do not appreciate being woken for nothing." He snarled at her, his bionic eyes staring at her organic eyes. If the aged techpriest had yet any capability of emotions to express, it most likely would be angry, or at least annoyed. Inside the church, the child gave Macharius' leg a hug and then took the baneblade and dropped to the floor on his bottom, rolling it back and forth and making explosion and other unrealistic combat sounds. After a few moments he looked up. "Thank you, Mister Lord Macharius!" And went back to playing as if nothing ever happened. But just then, he got a weird feeling just before seeing a bright light in the skies through one of the windows. There were no clouds and surely that was no orbital bombardment. As the object got closer and the stormtrooper went to the window he saw that it must have been a meteor, having seen similar events while fighting Orks. But as he used his built-in Magnoculars he could easily see that it was no mere asteroid or Rok. Tau spaceships, and they were going to drop anywhere from 5 to 500 miles away from the capital, judging by their trajectory. 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 groaned as she dropped to a knee, keeping both hands extended as the warp washed over her, channeling through her hands into and around the Tau Commander, keeping him yet completely stuck in place. "H-h-hurry... C-can't... Keep... Up!" The woman-with-attitude growled below her breath, obviously starting to struggle as the stench around them kept entering her nostrils. She even could taste the rot and decay that Smiley accidentally summoned. Karack finally managed, with the help of Alnar, to get a last cut through with his wrist-blade and cut the saw-blade off the right hand, leaving the empty left hand on Firestorm and the two surgery tools equipped Mechadendrites that were mounted on his shoulders. Sadly, although the buzzsaw was sharp, without electricity fed to it - or perhaps sparked to life with the warp at the hands of a Verathian - it would be not of much use. "Get him over here, we got a makeshift electro-weapon here. Surely my friend from Forgeworld Metalica would disagree with the construction, but this is for survival!" Amleth called over to Karack, Rei and Alnar. Him and Laeris held the makeshift weaponized sparking power cables, keeping it pointed towards Firestorms general direction. Denton was on double-time in the vents, making a good advance and eventually reaching the top. He went the only way down the maintenance tunnel there was. As he came to the exit and popped the cover easily off, he popped his head through and found himself in an enginarium. It was modified with a small stock of maintenance drones, nothing to be afraid of - as they were not gun drones of the Tau Empire. There was a discarded tool cart with an Imperial Aquilla on it. On the top of it a toolbox. He could at the very least probably find a wrench, or if he was lucky a blowtorch. Considering this was a maintenance room only with drones, not seeing even a civilian Tau around, the Catachan could assume it was safe to rummage through the cart. OOC: Rei and Karack can use their psychic powers. Firestorm will break free next turn. 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 Denton - 9/9 HP Alnar - 8/8 HP Laeris - 9/9 HP
Red stared at the tau his face emotionless as he watched him his bolt pistol still aimed at him with his sights on him. "You could say that yes about the imperium Though many of us live to serve as is why many of us were born to serve the imperium under the emperors banner and from what I have seen over many years of service its better then any other fate thats out there, Whether it be from escape from those Sadistic eldar, orks, or terrors that live within the eye I can say with my experience there is none other better existence then live in the imperium and under the watchful eye of the emporer." Red said his face slightly changing to that of one that was troubled as if he had remembered something disturbing from long ago. Red wondered why for a moment if he should keep humoring the tau "While my life is to serve I do care about those I serve with, That's why I listen to the sister that approached me telling me that Arleen requested Me and Macharius we both came, And thats why we both refused to leave when you put a knife to her throat." Red said the Crusaders eyes focusing on the tau a bit vindictive of his actions from before focusing him at the situation at hand. Keeping his eye on him he could tell he was starting to lose consciousness, Either possibly from pain or blood loss, Though due to the Circumstances there medic let her emotions overcome her and then stammered off. Making his job harder or impossible to do since he didn't have the skills to keep a prisoner alive. Deciding to keep his word with his question somewhat answered red decided to finish this conversation in one of the only ways it would. Aiming now for a mercy kill the crusader fired his bolt pistol once into the tau ending its suffering and pain in this existence. Quick and clean would be his kill before he would go to dispose of the body before contacting Macharius to ask for assistance and possibly that sister. @Valonox "Sister are you still in the tower? I got a request, Do you know if there are any places around here to burn a body?" Red asked keeping his eye on the now deceased tau deciding to move to boy out of here before it began to rot. Contacting macharius he decided to get help with this and possibly help or someone to keep a eye out while they were disposing the body. @bossaroo Contacting the scion through the vox red decided to see if Macharius was busy... Stopping for a moment The crusader realized that would be harder doing from a long distance. Deciding to have a specific way for macharius to answer his question. "Macharius you there?I got a question are you busy and up for a quick watch duty I am going to dispose of a body. Can you give me a Vox tap if your not available, or if you are available a snap of your fingers.?" Red asked seeing if he would get a response he waited as he put his bolt pistol to his holster. Now all he needed was some wood something to wrap the body in for transport, and prepare for standerd procedure for taking care of the dead xeno bodies. For a moment Red began wondering what was happening to the inquisitor and his team and how there progress was.
