"I would volunteer to check out the possibility of Xenos infiltration, and in my personal opinion Tsu'had and Sirius should go as well. With their knowledge of other factions it may help us confirm or rule out the presence of specific races."
"Inquisitor, if I remember correctly, you mentioned a colleague of yours who is working only against the Tyrannids. Can we expect any help or information from him? Incoming infestation in these parts of the Galaxy is grave news indeed..." spoke again Nathaniel, rubbing his chin. "Ronin, maybe I've never shared this with anyone here, but the past squad where I served was completely devoured by a Tyrannid scum. Nothing will make me happy more than going up there and destroying this wretched beasts. That being said, I also have some experiance with sieges, so I might be of use there as well. I suggest we ellect leader and divide the roles right here and now." OOC: Edited in reply to Jester
OOC: Shin Zhu's reply was directed at the inquisitor and the chaplain mostly, but anyone else can respond to it as well
Shin Zhu gave his condolences to his Blood Angel brother, placing a hand on his shoulder. "I too have lost brothers to these monsters, but between the two of us, a storm of blades will devour the devourer itself! Of course, this will all rest with our leaders." He looks over to the Flesh Tearer and Krauz.
"His name is Ramsa Kolos, he is the Imperial Regent of Ruvorn. He was declared Regent, after the prior Governor had been disposed off due to the lack of cooperation with paying Taxes, but since Imperial Command had nobody to give the permanent position to, Kolos as highest administratum member gained the title of Regent, he is ruling for just a few years now but since the taxes had been always paid, though the wealth and situation of Ruvorn went apparently down, not that Terra cared as they got their money." Krauz then turnd to Nathaniel. "I think you talk of Inquisitor Kryptman. Unluckily he is fighting among a company of Ultramarines and one of the successor chapters, the Mortifactors, against a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan that is threatening Tarsis Ultra." He then turned to Shin Zhu. "Indeed, it will be important that we form a proper plan, but it will be dangerous to take them out, to withstand a Tyranid Siege has low chance of success but also could work if the hive fleet is too small and lacks the resources to refresh their troops." Sirius spoke up as his name fell. "If there are Tau.... Then I desire to work alone, I will find them but not show of my ways, I will find them if they are there...." His voice was neutral, but with a hint of anger. OOC: Stevanus is perma-leader of the kill-team, though he could easily select one as the specialist / temporary leader who takes command.
"It's a good one Noctis, I would happily go with either team." OOC Tsu'hads skills have potential benefits towards both sides so wherever Stevanus wants him
"I did not take it as an offense, but if there should be investigation and the Tau could be there, I demand to go on my own. I did not question your ways with the Eldar, so I deny you to question my ways with the Tau." He glared at Noctis beneath his helmet, practically feeling the wounds of prior engagements with them.
Chaplain waited for everyone to speak their opinions and then he addressed kill-team Lightbringer: "Brothers. Some of you perhaps think this mission is ill-suited for our skills - we are used to lighting fast attacks and being the "spearhead". And this will be a readying for a war of attrition. But no matter. The Emperor asks of us only to serve." "Now, while you were talking I heard some good suggestions. As Shin Zhu said, the Tyranid attack cannot be won on the ground, but it can be broken. A good preparations will be required. So this is my plan:" "We have 3 centers of population on this planet. To defend them all at once is a thing we cannot do with forces at our disposal. My plan is to focus our defenses on the capital and the Mining city, while the northern city will be evacuated and food supplies relocated. Our defensive line will be from capital to Mining city. So first we need these 2 clear of any possible insurgencies." Chaplain addressed Shin Zhu "Brother Ronin, I want you to head out to the Mining city and prepare it for battle. It is extremely important that this particular city is well prepared and free of any infiltrators, and the mountain range looks like a good defensive position, but you will make your assessment of course" he said and then continued "Also, PDF motor pool is there so it makes it even more valuable. So you will be in charge of a team in that city. Valonox, Nathaniel and Noctis will help you with that. Your orders are: hunt down any possible cult in that city and prepare it for battle." Stevanus turned to Tsu'had and the newcomer, Rafikiel. "Brothers, you are coming with us to the Capital. Together, we shall prepare the defenses and scour the place of any signs of possible infiltration. We will go from the top to bottom, and if there are any xeno loves there, we will find them and deal with them. Also you both have experience with siege-craft, and it will be more than welcome that Marines such as yourself be in charge of the defenses." "That leaves us with you brother" Chaplain looked at Sirius. "Before I make up my mind concerning your task, can you tell me what is the reason of you wanting the particular mission of finding Tau Infiltrators?"
