<Feron> The entire spaced area would be sealed off like this right now and without any reliable means of communication he wouldn't be able to request they open up this sector. His armor could hold against the vacuum for some time he wasn't dreadfully concerned by this, no his concerns were over their forces and making sure that teleportarium was still intact and stayed intact. With such thoughts at hand he released his mag-soles momentarily to float upward, gripping an edge of metal sheeting to drag himself forward and begin skimming alongside the vessel. Maintenance shafts would be located near weapons batteries and sensor arrays for quick repairs meaning he had a bit to go but the Salamander also kept an eye sharp for any exposed passages that might been revealed in the previous bombardment, Skull Splitter could easily hammer out a smaller Vent blockade even if he couldn't quite touch a bulkhead door.
<Amraphel> "Well, if you believe you are strong enough to defeat the psyker, go ahead. But are you really sure you can take on such a beast all by yourself? And even if you succeed, you do not carry a teleport homer, so we'll have to meet up aggain so you can be teleported back to the Angelfall along with Icelos and myself. And beware after we have sabotaged the reactor we will only have a short amount of time before a cascade of explosions rips through this ship, so I have to emphasise that whatever we do, it will have to be done quickly and it will have to be perfectly timed." Amraphel turned arround and sternly looking at the two others and spoke: "So Icelos and Draconion, what suggestions do you have concerning this most delicate matter?"
"You misunderstand, Amraphel. With this many Orks on the warpath in one place, I am not certain all of us together are enough to take down the psyker. That is why I recommend splitting up - so that if one objective fails, there are men left alive to complete the others. "
"Still, incase you survive we need to agree on a location to all meet up and teleport back to the Angelfall. You do bot carry a homer so you'll need up with Icelos and myself. Amraphel took out a small dataslate and a small map showed up. Do you see this maintenance corridor? It is very remote and I hope it will be unguarded. In case you survive, meet us there for extraction. Good hunting!"
"Thank you, Brother. If I am not there within two minutes of the extraction window, leave without me. I have other means of returning to the Angelfall. Good hunting, Brothers." Chopping Amraphel and Icelos an uncharacteristically jaunty salute, Draconion continues up the ladder and out of sight.
While the imperials technically had the advantage in this firefight do to their increased accuracy, every moment that they stayed pinned down here increased the likelyhood of more green skins approaching. "Rocky, while I would love to spill their xeno blood, there is no way for us to stay down here. We could leave, let the chimera cover us and lay an ambush for the beasts as they follow."
Volorox Brought the heavy bolter around as he fired already several ork flyers were in his sights he began firing as his shots wen't wide several taking out the wings of a flyer causing it to barrel downwards towards the planet several other shots wen't through hitting a flyers main body but not taking down the orks Flyers. Several more came into view as shots were exchange several whizzing pass the chalice as The howling griffon took evasive maneuvers. Volorox smiled as another ork came right in his sights he fired as shots came flew threw the sky and found there mark in the orks cockpit causing it to explode and the flying wreck to come barreling down to the surface. "three down a entire horde to go." Volorox said with a smile as he continued exchanging shots with the orks Bolter shells flying through the sky as bolter and ork weapons were exchanged causing the sky to be lit with fire.
(ooc well sorry about the lack of posts been busy with work) tempestus stood watching as the men worked "bring us any heavy weapons you have, heavy bolters auto canons it dose not matter as long as the orks die" as he spoke he then let out a short laugh "storm troopers split up and lead the others, i will hold the center, angelous see if you can get those wood chopers in a working order to kill orks as they get close"
- Rocky and Edd Diving to the safety of Edd's knee for cover, Rocky pulls free his needler and fires into the treeline. These weren't your average bumrushing Greenskins. Ork Kommando boyz like shooting and killing from a more advantages position, to a point. If you could rile them up enough, they're instincts for combat would take over and they'd leave their cover. "Edd! Remember what you did on the ship? Do it again!" It took Edd a minute to remember, a literal minute, laying down ripper fire. Then the pin dropped and Edd activated his remaining smoke grenade and tossed it into the largest consentration of enemy fire. Mean while, Rocky loaded his revolver with hellfire rounds. Fire at the tree to light up the sneaky gits. "They can't hit what they can't see and they can't hide if there ain't any cover!" "This is a scouting group Sigismund, they push us back and we lose this creek. No where to run with the main force right behind them. Don't worry Sigismund, this isn't the first time Edd's killed orks. If we're lucky, the nob will see him soon." Rocky said as he continued to light up the trees. Edd was equipped with metal rain rounds for his ripper. Trees and bodies alike were ridden with metal shrapnel. Edd had moved to cover them; Dave, Rocky, and Sigismund. This made him a target, but his armor held firm as he bellowed swares at the orks. "Yous small green gits look stupid hiding en yer purple facepaint!" Edd's doesn't know any swares.
<Angelfall - Feron> As he got up, at the moment, Feron's location was somewhere atop the "Angelfall", couple of high towers were sprawled at the middle of it, while at each side there was a gun battery used to deflect boarding actions. During his walk, he felt as the ship shook as the remaining Ork Kroozas gave it all to destroy the Heavy Cruiser once and for all. Form this position, he saw that the top deck was annihilated, at least 700-800 meters in front of him was open to space (which meant the bulkhead he encountered didn't really separate anything important). Maintenance shafts were either broken or useless, so there wasn't much to go on there. However, to his left, closer to the middle of the ship, he saw something that looked like back end of a boarding ram, so perhaps there was indeed another way to get back to the ship... <Boarding Action - Icelos & Amraphel> Saying their goodbyes, the duo made their way into the bowels of the ship, the dark place disturbed by distant laughter of lesser Greenskins as they scuttled away before two Marines. It would take them some time before they reached the "Enginarium", perhaps a time well spent in finally learning something about each other. <Boarding Action - Draconion> The ladders actually led the Librarian into a dead end, as a huge adamantium block was placed straight before him, because lets face it - real Orks don't use ladders, when they want to get down, they simply jump (which always ends well). In any case, this wasn't something for him to awfully worry about because to both his left and right there were tight ventilation hatches (or actually corridors for smaller things that ran around through Orkish Krooza) which he was able to fit in, albeit crawling on his all fours. His target, the enemy psyker was still a long way to go, 8 more decks up, so he better start moving (I mean crawling). <Boarding Action - Sirius "where am I" Jules> Fist thing he found out was that his vox was out of commission. Whether was it the distance or some interference or even the damage his suit suffered during the fall, it made his situation all the same. As for the shoulder light, it was working somewhat, occasionally flashing (going off and on) since the illuminator was a bit damaged and required a replacement. Still, there was no way mere darkness would stop him (OOC for he was born in it, molded by it, he didnt't see the light of the day until he was already a man...ok stopping now) as he continued down the cold and lonesome road. There were no Orks present in the deeps, only something that felt like a cold breeze caressing his frame. Soon after, he heard voices in the distance. But it was not the guttural Orkish tongue, it was something other, something familiar to him...something that he last time heard 10 years ago during the mission that changed his life forever... <Niona> <Lumber Camps Kordoba - Tempestus, Angelous> Techmarine nodded and went to see if he could use the big machines for any kind of defense. Since they consisted of mostly choppers and those that turned raw logs into those that can be transported easily with some trucks further away to the capital and other processing plants. But still, perhaps some of it could be used and so the Blood Raven did as he was told. But then, it all changed as first Ork arrived on the spot - at the edge of clearing in front of the camp. Suffice to say, the alien was riddled with bullets, dying right on the spot. Roars could be heard in the distance, as the hole forest shook as the Green horde charged in front and the battle began... <Air Support - Volorox, Dorallius, Gaius, Kajar> "Oh yeah!" Gaius cheered as another Ork flyer went down and disappeared into the forest. Seeing that the Orks finally showed their face, Howling Griffon turned their Stormbird in a bombing run, in an attempt to cut their first wave right in the start. "On my mark, drop them!" he told Volorox as he gunned the craft towards where it was needed. "3...2...1...MARK!" <Hunting Lodges (Creek) - Sigismund, Edd, Rocky> Smoke grenade did its job as Orks fired wildly now, somewhere where they thought the Imperials would be. What also created a problem for them was that the sneaky Ratling turned out to be quite sneaky, setting a part of the forest ablaze with his hellfire rounds. Perhaps it was an offense against nature (especially in a place like this), but who cares, lives were at stake. Then the shooting stopped for a moment, as if the Orks were regrouping. Second later, couple of missiles streaked through the smoke and half of them passed their force however few hit, throwing hunters in the air and sending blood and gore to fill the creek. One lucky shot hit a chimera that blew up and incinerated troops around it. Cheers could be heard as what came next - the Ork charge. "WAAAAAGH! DIE UMIES DIE!" they bellowed as they came front, shooting wildly with choppas high in the air.
