The Horus Heresy (Elseworlds)

OOC: He's pretty much sending out a message to terra to ask what is happening.

at which point they are intercepted by imperial fists ships (arkais)

he finds a massive fleet of ships in orbit over istvaan 5

the monstrous machine is obliterating almost everything in its path, a pair of warhound titans at its heels

++All southern imperial army forces, this is (insert auxilia rank) Mathrafal, there are 3 enemy titans bearing down on our position at the these co-ordinates (insert co-ords) we'd love some fire support!++

a trio of salamanders fellblades are nearby and attempting to provide support

++This is Captain Sareth Vek, Russ and his Space Wolves are slaughtering Prospero!++

++Confirm your identifcation. you have thirty seconds++

++Captain Sareth Vek, Thousand Sons Legion, 2nd Chapter, 3rd Company, What the hell is going on?!"

++I said confirm! Prove who the hell you are or I swear we will open fire!++

++I am in a damned ship of our Legion! Please! Feel free to board! The Space Wolves have declared war on the Thousand Sons!++

The ship powers down its engines and shields.

++I have powered down our shields and engines, I will meet you in the hangar bay.++

++fine.....++

*such artillery fire, much explode*

OOC: are volkite weapons any good against armour?

Sareth, seething, an aura of his psychic prowess around him stalks to the hangar bay.

"Identify yourself, I said I was the fucking Captain twice, what does a man have to do to get some respect?"

OOC no they're anti infantry
IC a trio of imperial fists thunderhawks land
and a large amount of phalanx warders exit, their weapons raised

"Who is the Captain here?"

Sareth removes the helm of his terminator plate.

"My world is burning."

jax moves his ship to friendly lines and moves to land at the salamander command center

a templar bretheren squad exits the head thunderhawk....a very familiar figure at their head
his pistol aimed at the captain
Sigismund: Alright thousand son start talking.

OOC: okay

*looks to a household guard*
"Did you remember to pack the shadowsword?"
"I thought that was your job, it is your tank"
"I swear I told you to do it"
"Naaa, mate. You told him" *points at another household scrub*

"We left before Russ and his pack came down, the Corvidae Cult and our Primarch Magnus had foresaw this happening, our Primarch has told us to lower our weapons, but I refused to "accept my fate."

He steps forward.

"We have come for answers, why would the Emperor sign our death warrant?"

"Don't lie. the emperor did no such thing. I have no reason to trust you now, especially when four legions are already in open rebellion"

"...What do you mean, four legions in open rebellion?"

Sareth looks in pure confusion.

"Does that mean the Wolves are rebelling?"

"No. all evidence so far points to them remaining loyal. Your legion on the other hand I'm not so damn sure about!"

"Don't insult my legion! If the Emperor didn't order the Wolves to murder us then why are they?!"

"Your primarch uses forbidden sorceries and allows daemons into the imperial palace and you expect me to believe you are loyal?"

"The fact I am here! Asking why the Wolves are killing my brothers?!"

"How do I know you're telling the truth? what makes you more trustworthy than the Warmaster?"

"What do you mean more trustworthy than the Warmaster?! what does he have to do with this?!"

"Who do you think leads the rebels?"

"...Who......what...The Warmaster...Horus...Is rebelling? What madness do you speak?"

"It is no madness."

"...So who is rebelling, you said there were four legions, the Sons of Horus and who else?"

"World eaters, death guard, emperor's children"

"...This...makes no sense, if the Wolves are not also in rebellion, then why are they attacking prospero?"

"you haven't proved i can trust you yet. For all i know the wolves came to arrest your primarch as ordered and your legion opened fire."

"Arrest him? Fine, say my legion opened fire, why would I be here, in what world would it make sense that I would be here, with my whole company, instead of fighting the wolves?"

jax's band touch down by the salamander landing zone and one after another they file out
Jax: so anyone have any idea what the hell is going on?

"When was the last time your legion did something that made sense?"

at which point the imperator titan waaay of in the distance blows up a storm eagle just above jax

Jax: multiple occasions but right now I just want to know where we can help.

"I can't argue with that, but I am still seeking answers but if the Emperor only ordered an arrest...the only man to have enough power to send an order like killing a legion....would....NO!"

The Captain grabs a munitions crate and throws it against the wall of the hangar.

"...Russ is a damned fool."

"The Warmaster...He is the only one with such authority."

*activates private con link to the household scrubs back at the lander*
+Did we load our shadow sword?+
(Gor, that's your cue)

*The Salamander Captain takes this point to arrive with his men, their armour has taken hits but they appear to be at full strength*

ooc: im pretty sure he was punching through a defensive line, so it kinda makes sense he was late (obvious excuse for forgetting this existed)

OOC: *whistles*

OOC: Gorath?

OOC: OI GORATH

OOC: I KNOW YOU'RE ONLINE YOU SCRUB.

OOc hey Shas
How are things??

Saves ferrus

OOC: Okay thats all I ever wanted to do here

OOC: Do more shit.

I shall have my glorious redemption!

Unless you save ferrus go away

Ferrus is the most manly of primarch
Ferrus is stronk

Uuuoogh
