A slightly smaller Mess

"Why don't you ask your 'contact'?"

*Raises eyebrow* +Lyanna...+

+What is it?+

+Death squadron, i need details.+

+....oh fuck+

+Those aren't details.+

+Five battle barges....one battleship that has no imperial classification. Not QUITE gloriana but.....+

+Throne on terra... They're going to engage the hammer.+

+They're the warsmith's personal attack fleet...+

+Shit, shit shit shit!+

+There's....nothing I can do. they'll take a while to get there but...+

+I'm pulling us back, we can't deal with that, The fuck is on that planet that's worth sending in that?"+

+....I think you might have provoked them into it+

+They just happen to be close enough to help?+

+Maybe+

+Fuck... ground work it is then... Keep tyren at a safe distance, no matter what, alright?+ *His tone of voice strongly implies he believes they're fucked*

+I can give you an ETA. You've got at least a day.+

+Fucking wonderful, Twenty four hours to save the world... Edge on the dramatic side.+

"Byrne, bring us about, i'm heading planetside."

Caiber: that bad?

"Five battle barges, and a battleship thats close to the size of the salamanders ship. yes, that bad."

Byrne: "Who is this.. contact of yours Laurence?"

Laurence: "It's not important right now..."

Caiber: hm.... well lets get down there then.

"We need to make a big enough distraction, so the civilians can be transported away safely..."

"Thoughts?"

Laurence: "I'm thinking, either, we sneak into their camp, and hit their fuel storage and ammunition... or, we wait until they attack, rebuff said attack, and chase them all they way back to their camp."

" it will take quite a lot to kill me though , so have you ever wanted kids?"

"Which is more plausible"

Akira: "If they're with max... when we've got our shit sorted out, definitely."

Laurence: "Either or really. Depends if the marines are under attack when we arrive."

" it changes your world"

Caiber: to the shuttle i suppose

OOC: *Explosion*

*Heading down planetside.*

Laurence: "Caiber... you know that this is... likely hopeless."

Akira: "I'd rather change my world, before bringing them into it."

Caiber: I've had worse.

" understandable , so what do you do here when you try to pass the time?"

*they all feel the ship jolt as Max sends it into the warp*

Akira: "To pass the time? well i have various responsibilities, and beyond that i spend time with max."


Laurence: "No... you haven't. This will be worse than typhus."

Caiber: before we met.

"Ah may I join ?" She giggles a bit " I'm sorry just joking "

OOC: This just got interesting

*deadpan stare* "Yeah, course you were."

Laurence: "Neither the wolves or deathwatch compare to what's coming."

" don't believe me ? Suit yourself "

Akira: "I just find it odd that max never mentioned you, meaning, it wasn't exactly a committed relationship between the two of you, and yet you decided to track him down, to the ass end of the universe, even after finding out he's a wanted renegade."

Caiber: I think the hive fleet does.

"Like I said , I wanted my children to meet their father , to get to know him so they can knowing they aren't completely abandoned"

Akira: "You can't exactly abandon something you were unaware of."

Laurence: "...Perhaps... but then again, perhaps not. Marines in my opinion, are far worse than xenos beasts, no matter how well led."

"You didn't see how many there were."

Laurence: "an unending sea of chitin and claws, I've seen it myself."

"Exactly , that's what I want to show them, gotta admit you do look great I can see why you do it so much "

"exactly. Except they were your allies thirty seconds ago."
