| *logen tears his sword from the automata, flaring his jump pack to escape its retaliation.* "WE WILL COVER YOU INQUISITOR!" *with that, the salamanders begin to issue fearsome fire, two heavy bolters, and staggered fire from the multimelta serves to highlight them to the enemy, drawing fire.*
*Mute hefts his infernus heavy bolter from the sandbags, firing from the hip as he retreats backwards*
*Mac puts one of hera's arms over his shoulder, and half carries her away.* | |

| Charles also is slow to fall back, covering the marines with psychic shielding. At that moment, several chaos thunderhawks fly into the hangar, adding their fire to the automata's. Each one lands, releasing two rhinos each. Although the rhinos look....different. Bigger, more armoured. The rhinos quickly spread out as the thunderhawks leave, evenly spaced, before their armour plating seems to.... unfold, forming barricades and defence lines, each linking to the defence lines formed by the other rhinos. Upon completing these defence line, each rhino disgorges its iron warriors passengers, spreading out along the defence line before firing on the defenders from their relative safety | |

| *Jax and serah show no signs of retreat, him fighting in relentless silence, and her still singing at the height of her voice.* "Our beloved emperor! Guide this day my holy wrath, with blade and bolter died, let such be my epitaph!"
*The necrons respond with their usual silent determination, but also with an interesting addition. the pyramid, set into the floor of the hanagar, shudders and begins to move. Metal arms, like fingers fold upwards, veridian energy leaping between them. Unwholesome energies course across its surface as it rises, a great crystal of green forming from the sparking energy, and weapons jutting from its corners. A blast of energy, of incredible power strikes the central rhino, throwing it into the air*

| Charles: *grabs the two by the shoulder* I think the emperor would prefer you to live a bit longer to kill more of his enemies *grinning*
*the marines focus fire on the retreating necrons, while the automata, at least the castellax, turn their guns on the monolith, focussing melta weaponry and darkfire weapons on the pyramid* | |

| *The monolyth holds their fire for just long enough to the necrons to have fully retreated while outputting a staggering quantity of firepower, before dissapearing in a swirl of veridian energy.*
Jax: "We're just holdin em back so you and yours get away scot free." *he takes the head off another iron warrior who seems to misunderstand the concept of an anti material rifle.* "Come on honey."
Serah: *she fires a few more shots for good measure, then turns and starts hussling the fuck outta there.*
*The salamanders continue to hold the enemy at bay, dodging from cover to cover, no mean feat while carrying a heavy bolter and ammunition. Mallus and logen laying down fire, more to distract the enemy than anything, from behind sandbags stacked against the necrodermis pillars.*
OOC: Inquisition, a few sallies and a necron dynasty thats slowly waking up are defending a necron doomsday device from iron warriors

*With that, the astartes begin to fall back, worse the wear for their rearguard action, but alive.* | |
