| "You're not hurt?" He whispers softly, concern etched into his tone. | |

| Arteras looks up the building as he follows, fairly unimpressed by its diminutive size when compared to the hangars. Over the howling wind the distinctive bark of a Commissar can be heard as he orders people to make way for the incoming transport ship, and those who look to the skies see a gargantuan craft gently gliding toward them. It’s ramming prow is pocked with innumerable holes and gashes whilst the rest of her hull is but a silhouette against the white clouds above. | |

| "I know... It's just..." he hunches his shoulders, and lets go of her. "I don't know."
Viktor opens the door, steps through, and holds it open for them to come inside. They're met with a stifling warmth, and a room full of coats and boots. The walls to the left and right are taken up by a system of pipes, bent into loops, facing up at a 45 degree angle, so a man can leave his boots there, with the pipe inside, so the hot water flowing within will dry them. "Take your boots and coats off, gentlemen, you'll feel the benefit of it." | |

| The command staff enter and do so, placing their boots and greatcoats away from the rest of the clothes. The younger members are clearly happy to be free of the cold, but their commander simply gives Viktor an appreciative nod, his face betraying nothing else. | |

Along the back wall, there is a few shelves, holding rows of plain, comfortable indoor shoes, which the members of Viktor's Entourage take, seemingly indiscriminately, and gesture for them to take also. Viktor: "Take a pair, so you're not wandering about in stocking feet."

| days pass and the noose tightens. the outer trenches are built. then the inner trenches. then the rear lines. Soon a whole, nigh impenetrable network of defences is established all around the city. no way in or out, artillery and air strikes keeping any attempted counterattack from occurring. At this point the defensive air forces have been so worn down they mainly only have aerial recon craft left | |

| Viktor: "Right, to business then! Karl, bring the maps up to my office. Gentlemen?" He gestures out of the room, then leads the way, into a well upholstered hallway, with a rather grand staircase leading up, lushly carpeted. At the top of the staircase, on the third floor, and straight through the largest door, into a suitably impressive office, with a large table, some 2 by 4 metres in size, and a desk facing into the room, with large windows behind it. Likely very impractical for the climate.
A few of the thunderbolts still fly, parts cannibalised from the fallen craft, and the men flying now worthy to be called aces in their own right. Not necessarily 'feared' but at least known, one aircraft in particular, painted with Aquila on her wings, crushing the iron skull in its beak, and hazard stripes on its tailplane, in mocking mimicry of the foe. The PDF call the aircraft, "Ironbreaker" She is credited with numerous kills. | |

| meanwhile, several botched attacks against the line have occured, almost all unsanctioned. This has resulted in numerous disasters and many prisoners taken by the iron warriors. Now they are brought, chained and en masse, into one location | |

| He silently holds up his cuffed hands, his face blank. He was obviously clean shaven, but his short time in captivity has lent him a scruffy shadow, and his blonde hair, held up in a short queue, has come loose in a few strands, one hanging across his face. | |

| He turns his shoulder, to avoid caking his face in mud, and smiles quietly to himself. ~I doubt you'll want the coat now. Idiot Heretic.~ Once again, he starts to rise after taking the hit. | |
