"Do you think you could acquire me some amasec?" | |

jax: "I've seen a few slates about him, figured it was just propaganda."
Raeven: "Ah, see they're not so bad when you've got overwhelming force on your side. But in a equally pitched battle... I think i'd rather fight just about anything." | |

| charles nods and puts a hand on her shoulder. in a flash they're back on the ship.
Chard: are you kidding? trust me, being with the 'quisitor you get a sense of what's propaganda and what's not. Yarrick's as good as they say. Entirely as good as they say.
Noctis: with respect sir, we did not have overwhelming force. | |

Raeven: "A primarch on a morning stroll counts as an overwhelming force." | |

| Jax: "We weren't great parents really."
Hera: "The Millitarum? I wasn't officially a commissar, so, i technically formed an unregulated militia, then when we rotated out... legally... I led a prison break for about eighty penal legionaries. Penal legions are never supposed to rotate out. And even if my formation was recognised, and i was recognised as a shotgun promotion, i'd be redeployed with the legion, to somewhere suitably dangerous, with no chance of rotating out. We'd fight till we died or be executed."
Raeven: "You're a careful leader, good. Glad i don't have to teach you that." | |

| Charles: lets get on with it. I'll be blunt hera. Right now, the imperium is in an incredibly bad state. It's not unsavable, and we're going to make damn well sure it doesn't fall, but were it not for a certain someone's timely recovery, I'd damn near say it's as bad as the horus heresy. And as such... bad things are going to happen Hera. It's going to get darker before it gets lighter. We can do our best to stop it but... some of the worst things I've seen done to humanity were done by my fellows in the inquisition. their motives were good, their actions horrific. And while I will refuse to take part in, and actively attempt to hinder such acts, we may see more and more of it as the days grow darker. *takes a glass and sips* And... in order to prepare you for such. There is an event I need to tell you about. One that you cannot tell any of the others about, as unauthorised knowledge of such is punishable by death or worse by my more puritan compatriots.
Chard: that's a damn understatement. *puffs and grins* | |

| Charles: indeed.... now in the second war, one hive city commanded by the idiot von straab himself, was nearly lost due to his decision to use life eater virus warheads hidden within the hive on the orks, only for several to detonate amongst his own men. This is fairly well known by now... but I wonder. Did you ever wonder why armageddon had exterminatus class weapons in storage?
Chard: aye, if I've got any say in the matter at least. | |

| Charles: no. They were stored there as a precaution. Incase something came back. There have not been two wars for armageddon, Hera. There have been three. And the first was far more terrible and devastating than anything the orks have done.
Chard laughs at that | |

| charles pushes some buttons on a control panel, and a hologram of armageddon appears. As he speaks, images appear around the globe, linking to the specific part of the planet they refer to "Year 444 M41. Armageddon is suddenly, and inexplicably struck with a series of rebellions planetwide. Armageddon secundus deals with them relatively easily, but armageddon prime has more trouble, due to how spread out its cities are. Nevertheless, the official examination of the situation shows that the PDF have the situation under control, so reinforcements are not dispatched. Unfortunately, while this saved resources, it left them utterly unprepared when it finally arrived." above the globe, a new object appears. A space hulk, huge in size...and clearly chaotic in nature.
Chard: *sighs* I'm running out of space for tattoos.... | |

| Chard: aint gonna end any time soon. C'mon. I think we both need a stiff drink.
Charles: Behold. The devourer of stars. A space hulk of unprecedented size. Aboard, there were millions of heretical cultists dedicated to the blood god khorne, along with numberless khornate daemons. In addition, there was a group the ordo malleus has identified as the Crour Praetoria, the twelve most powerful khornate daemons in existance. Worse, There were several full companies of traitor astartes, all from the world eaters legion, consisting mostly of what are identified as khorne berserkers. And as if to put the nail in armageddon's coffin, the hulk was commanded by Angron. The daemon Primarch of the World eaters legion. | |

| Chard: then lets go get one.
Charles: Armageddon prime fell almost immediatly. The slaughter enacted on those caught by the khornate horde was beyond imagining. The remaining defenders retreated past the equatorial jungle to armageddon secundus, preparing their defences to resist the traitors as soon as they crossed. *images are still showing as he talks* Angron made a huge mistake here. He stalled. Rather than press his assault while the foe still routed, he chose to construct great and bloody monuments to his god across armageddon prime. But finally, the chaos horde pushed through the jungle. | |

| chard leads them on
Charles: no, but he can defeat entire armies single handedly, so there is that. But they'd taken too long. When they burst through the jungle line, they didn't just face the roar of battle cannons and the flash of lasfire. Over the top of all that noise, there was one that drowned out it all. The howl of wolves. The entirety of the space wolves chapter had heard the cries for help from armageddon, and had answered the call. In the blasted wastes of armageddon, the two forces of astartes clashed in hand to hand combat so brutal it's indescribable, like the days of the horus heresy returned once again. | |

| Charles: Grimnar himself was there, still the great wolf as he is now, but much younger of course. Battle raged all along the front lines. At the Chaeron river, the imperials were holding, but at the styx river Angron personally lead the assault, and here the defence was crumbling in its entirety.
Chard: aye, I've been up against them a few times. | |
