The War Beneath the Waves

*one manages to make it up, crawling on the floor, torn in half. He laughs madly as he pulls down a guardsman, shanking them in the stomach before dying of blood loss*

"Do what you can for your men, my sisters will guard against more intruders"

*They can hear some veichels approaching*

The sisters look.

*the knife fails to penetrate the commanders breast plate*
"Ew......blood, why must you wipe your blood on my uniform? It's not the easiest of liquids to clean off y'know"
Commander Naran says as he lifts himself up

*A few tauroxs emerge*

*The rebels also hear the vehicles, but are far enough away to not cause a problem at the time*
__
+General Koren Petra speaking on all imperial vox frequencies. Even yours, sisters and praetorians. It seems you let the cathedral fall, which makes me believe you followed orders. You are no longer considered excommunicate traitoris, but I wish to speak with you all immediately.+

"He's a traitor"
*the Praetorians form a line and prepare to make a final stand as Commander Naran draws his power sabre*

*as the tauroxes park up, some tempestus dismount, including the tempestor who was in command of them*

"..by the emperor..."

A sister steps forward, bolt pistol aimed straight for him.

"Who do you serve?"

*the praetorians don't lower their weapons*

"The 1 true god...the god emperor"

"Take off your helmet"

*He does*

She walks up to him, looking him straight in the eyes.

"He does not lie, either that or your a very good liar"

"I do not lie" *He puts his helmet on*

Naran: Tempestor, tell me of Petra

"Well...we don't know anything of him..he has no records on imperial databases"

"You were there when I left, did he have any guards with him?"

"No..All we know is he appeared, ordered a retreat then...Thats it"

"I assume he ordered you here"

"No...He doesn't have any authority to command me"

"I see, so what do you plan to do with us?"

*Sentinel footsteps can be heard nearby*

"Nothing..All I know is we need to get the hell out of here and regroup"

"We should run... now"

"You lot go, me and my men can cover your retreat then we can follow you"

*Armoured sentinels manned by rebels round the corner. Lascannons mounted on them fire at on of the tauroxes, disabling it completely, before one sentinel with an autocanon opens up at the group*

OOC: sorry you rolled a 1 for armour penertration
IC: *The tempestus open up on it with help from the tauroxes*

"Move!"
*shells impact around the group as the praetorians run toward a taurox*

OOC: Bitch get your own tauroxs

OOC: bitch please, cover is useful

"Guardsmen, we need evacuation! Do you have any flyers left?"

"EVERYONE IN! *The tempestus begin pileing into the remaning tauroxs*

*the autocannon mulches several sisters, whilst the lascannons pummel the same taurox. At the same time, rebels round the corner, all armed with harsh close combat weapons*

*And then the tauroxs with the miniguns open up into the advancing cultists, turning several to mulch in the stream of bullets as others with rockets open fire into the sentinels with krak missiles*

*they were taking cover* plus they are wearing power armour. But admittedly they would get knocked down.

"16 m'lady, get on the vox! Secure channel get our air support here now!"

*the comms officer climbs in and does as ordered*

OOC: I've just realised something...hehehe

OOC: your a faggot?

Also how would they get airsupport in these tighly pacted areas, as gorath did state, its not a massive bio dome

OOC: I do believe we're above the ocean

Ooc: yes we are.

OOC: MEIN BAD

*the praetorians climb into the taurox*

OOC: just so you know, the tempestus brought more tauroxs than needed so if a few are destroyed they all aren't totaly fucked up, and im not making this up on the spot either

*many rebels die but loads make it close to the tauroxes, climbing all over them whilst the sentinels split fire, disabling 3 more tauroxes*

/on the landing pad\

Valk pilot 1: sir! The commander just contacted us!
CS: what did he say?
Call pilot 1: under heavy fire from enemy walkers and infantry, currently inside friendly taurox, requesting air support
CS: lock onto their signal, we're moving out!
*the praetorians board the Valkyries and the entire wing takes off, headed for the commander*

/in the taurox\

*Praetorians send pinpoint accurate las-fire at the oncoming rebels*

OOC how is air support coming in a bio dome underwater

OOC: Thats what I said..and I gtg soon

OOC: we're above it, on an oxygen platform I asdume
