in the halls of Alaric

*Serana starts twitching nervously*

"what is it?"

"T-there's something out here with us! Something big!!"

"its just the orks. Look every ork is slightly psychic, you're just sensing the collective build up between them, they're nowhere near us"

*Just as she says that a group of Ork kommandoez lead by a massive Ork warrior assault the Taurox. Tearing into the rear armour*

"....shit" *she hits the accelerator, quickly outpacing the orks*

* She leaves most in the dust, except for one that clambered into the vehicle. The warrior gives a roar and begins slamming against the wall that seperates them from it*

she switches to auto pilot, pokes her head out of the hatch, and zaps the ork with her eye zapper thing

*He gives a roar and punches the wall next to her head, leaving a fist sized dent before activating his klaw*

she zaps again, blowing its head off

*The corpse falls back and out of the Taurox*

"that was annoying"

*Serana is shuddering*

"hey hey hey" *she puts a hand on her shoulder*

"They're under attack! My brother is hurt!!"

"how can you be sure?!"

"we ww-were implanted with ch-chips when we were made.....We know when the other is in p-pain if we're closssse enough to establish a link"

"....he's gonna be okay"
*meannwhile where matt is*

*Two Tauroxes have been written off, with Matt and the Techpriests surrounded trying to fend off a large group of feral orks*

*the ground shakes*

"Fall back to me!"
*He lets off a chain of shots that vaporises several orks*

in a flash of light a large amount of orks are reduced to a smoking pile of ash

"The fuck?"
*He looks toward the flash*

the newcomer towers over all there. there is a whirring as the thermal cannon charges and fires again, vaporising more orks, and gerantius charges, crushinng orks underfoot, heavy stubber blazing*

"Vanguards, Rangers bring them down!"
*He continues to obliterate orks as the mechanicus forces re-engage*

he strides through, trampling orks underfoot and obliterating others with his cannon

*Matt tries to identify the newcomer*

i already said who it is
gerantius
that mysterious freeblade who alana's mates with

OOC: I didn't see it say Getantius, I have now though.

*The Orks break and rout*

he blasts them as they ru

*Before Matt can breath a sigh of relief, an Ork jumps up and impales him on a spear*

the orks head gets blown off, but too late to stop the stabbing

*He looks down at the spear and snaps off the tip*
"Surprisingly enough, this doesn't hurt very much*

/elsewhere\

*Serana screams and clutches at her stomach*

Alana quickly looks her up and down

my ranger approaches him and gets about fixing the wound up

*She passes out*

R: Thank you...

Alana: laura, serana's passed out!

he remains silent as he finishes up

L: Shit! What happened?

R: *Looks to Gerantius* Thank you, Gerantius

"I have no idea!"

he turns and looks at him silently

M: I'll take that as a 'you're welcome'. Alright men, form up on the Chimera. Non combatants inside, soldiers on top.

L: just lay her down, We'll look at her when we get back

she does so
+rob....serana's hurt and i've no idea how+

+Fuck......Where is she hurt?+

+stomach+

+I thought that link was broken....+

+link?+

+We were linked at birth, that chip on my spine is both a pain inhibitor and a neural link it would seem"

+well how do we help her?+

+Let her rest, it'll wear off+

+alright. are you okay?+

+Nothing fatal, are you alright?+

+we're fine. kommando ambush, nothing we couldnt handle+

+Why do I get the feeling that you made them regret ever coming out of the ground+
