| OOC: Alright, here's the reboot thread featuring the Consortium rewrite I recently made. Here's hoping it goes well.
IC: *The past several months had been boring, or interesting, depending on who you asked. On one end, the Yutegans were fascinated by the worlds they had found, worlds stripped bare of all life. The Templum mercenaries hired as extra security (this was a minor expedition as far as the Yutegans, and thus did not have much support from the Yutegan military, necessitating a contract with Templum) were bored mindless. The trail seemed to span at least several systems and showed no sign of ending soon.* | |

| The planet has been literally sucked dry and scoured of all life. vast expanses that were once oceans, now all gone. a few great mountainous hills that had once been islands | |

| Private Aequitas: Doctor Plomo, I understand the importance of investigating these worlds, but you've done thousands of tests on two dozen worlds thus far and there has been little to no variation between them. Wouldn't the expedition's time be better spent finding the cause of this?
Doctor Plomo: Private, I assure you, this is all part of the scientific process, and as someone who is a product of Yutegan education and the Yutegan military, I would think you would know that.
Aequitas: Of course, doctor, but the fact remains we haven't found anything of new significance yet.
Plomo: I assure you, we will. | |

| Plomo: Ah, there we go. Structures. We may find answers there. ++I want two Templum security specialists to accompany us. We're going a fair distance from the ship and I don't want to take needless risks.++
*After the specialists join them, they head for the structures.* | |

| they find what appears to be a military base. in ruins. no signs of bodies but lots of signs of battle. including two heavy surface to orbit laser batteries. one has had the power generators smashed through. the other is completely clogged with something unidentifiable, burned to ashes | |

| *The two specialists cautiously enter first.*
Tileon: Bloody hell...what happened here? Was this planet nuked?
Plumo: That's hard to say at this time. If this was the result of nuclear devastation, any radioactive evidence has long since faded. Further, there would be impact craters visible from space and we observed none from the vessel.
Tileon: Yeah, yeah....Still, doesn't make this place any less disturbing.
Plumo: How "disturbing" this planet is is just a matter of psychology, something I would think someone most likely raised in the Templum gulags would understand. | |

| he sees the skitarii squads who formed the last line of defense holding the line as best they can, their flamers incinerating dozens of the tyranid creatures, which he sees in full view from the security footage. the tech priest there turns to his console "We cannot live through this. Mankind cannot live through this. In a single day they have covered this planet with a flood of living blades and needle-fanged mouths. Kill one, and ten take its place. If they are truly without number, then our race is doomed to a violent death before every shred of our civilisation is scoured away by a force more voracious than the fires of hell themselves. Death! By the Machine God, Death is here!" he places something into the console as it descends. a tyranid prime leaps on one of the skitarii and hacks him to peices. this hole in their defenses allows the swarm to overwhelm them. they are butchered. | |

| *The recording visibly disturbs him and the researchers and soldiers that were with him. He then ejects the codex.*
Plumo: Everyone, back to the ship, we're leaving. We know what happened here and what happened to the other worlds.
Aequitas: Yes, but now what? Do we return home and inform the council, or do we press on and try and locate survivors?
Plumo: For now, I believe it prudent to investigate further. We may find some information on how to combat these creatures. *They return to the ship.* | |
