A slightly smaller Mess

about two minutes later
*Zap*
Caiber arrives

just to add, he's wearing a cloak to disguise the third arm

Max: "When do you want to set off?"

Akira: "I don't know... we have to do that scouting run first."

Hera: "Caiber, This is Wilhelm and..." *Looks at gideon*

Max: "We do"

Gideon: "Gideon Irondrake, Imperial Knight"

Caiber: Hi there. So what do you have?

Hera: "Jack shit, We've lost mac, and anne. they're attacking from below, collapsing the deck"

Akira: "I guess we should leave for that soon."

Caiber:... hmm... alright. First thing, gotta get somewhere they can't get us.

Hera: "These gentlemen have that covered, i believe."

Wilhelm: then lets go. *sets off*

Max: "Want to rest a week and then set off?"

Akira: "I guess a week is alright." *she snuggles into him.*

*The menagerie follows*

before long they find a bombed out building, the entire wall missing. under a large sheet, is the centaur, revealed when wilhelm removed said sheet

Gideon: "Home sweet home"

Max: "Think it'll be long enough" *He pulls akira close and holds her*

Akira: "It'll have to be."

Wilhelm: get in.

Max: "It will..."

*peeps do so, hera gets rachel to sit on her knee*

Once aboard they get a driving
takes a little bit, but much faster than on foot, but they get to the mouth of a large tunnel in the earth

Vee grins " I think this would be fun though I wanted to spar with Emma as well "

*Henry sits his arse down nearby with a bowl of popcorn and watches*

Kerak: "Emma come and go." *he shrugs*


Hera: "This your hideout?"

Wilhelm: Leads to it. Engineers made it, hades breaching drill. Ground's too dense for anything else to get through, hybrids can't ambush us.

Hera: "Good."

*into the tunnel they go*

*woooooooo*

after a while they emerge. they're outside a bombed out manufactorum, abandoned. the moment they emerge, hera can tell there is a frankly paranoid amount of auto turrets and booby traps

Hera: "Hmn, secure."

OOC: Spooky noises.

OOC ello edd
IC Wilhelm: Have had time to fortify.

Got into a fighting stance getting ready .

Gideon: "There are mines too, so wat h your step"

Hera: "One of you lead, we'll follow your steps."

Kerak: "Blades?"

Wilhelm disembarks and leads the way

*le peeps follow*

*they get inside....and they take a moment to take in the sheer amount of ordnance. Looking around, it looks like the kreiger's managed to collect all of the weapons and a good amount of the armour from his fallen regiments, along with some heavy artillery, heavy mortars, thudd guns n such*

Hakken: "Throne man... we could level the hive with this."

Wilhelm: We did. More than once.

Hakken: "Fuck i wanna watch."

Wilhelm: They're all dead. Just me now.

*Hakken walks past, and pats wilhelm on the shoulder, wandering over to a stack of artillery shells.* "I know ya feel mate."

he doesn't say anything. Rather he ejects the revolver cylinder of his shotgun, ejecting the spent shells, and loading fresh ones

Hakken: "I reckon we got what we need right ere."

Hera: "Giant explosions are not exactly clandestine Major. We still have the establishment to consider, they're covering this up, i want to know why."

Wilhelm: Unknown, ma'am.

Hera: "That's our job to discover. Do you know where the hybrid operate from? It's my understanding that if we kill their patriarch they'll loose cohesion. Caiber?"

Caiber: Yes and no. You need to eliminate the primus, patriarch and magus to throw them into disarray, if any of those still live they can recovery with worrying ease. All three of them are going to be a pain in the arse to find.

Gideon: "And no doubt harder to kill"

Hakken: "Oh... is that an earthshaker shell?"

Wilhelm: Medusa. Bastion Breacher.

Hakken: "They build their nests underground right? What if we get this in there?"

Caiber:.... yeah, no, quite a lot of problems with that. First one being, how do you find the nest? second, how do you get this in there without dying?
