Tarkhan moved swiftly the Skitarii were not trained for repairs but they did know many of the mantras and psalms of repair. He had a pair with him to keep up the chants so he could speak clearly as he repaired. He directed the tank crews on which vehicles were repairable and which ones to begin dismantaling for parts. He left the dismantaling to the tank crews and focused on the weaponry, his hands and mechandrites flying, often repairing two or three weapons simultaniusly. Many were simple repairs, welding cracks, clearing jams, and the like. Some were beyond repair and were swiftly disassembled for parts to repair others. As he worked he commented to the captain. "With these weapons repaired you should be able to stop using the xenos blasphemous weapons. I think that when I finish with these I shall see to any artillery pieces that stand a chance at repair. That way we may be able to circumvent the range of the Tau's rail weaponry by firing from over the horizion or from behind cover."

Attano was suprised to see such a large Tau force, he had been hunting the Tau pathfinders as he found them but hadn't seen such a large force since he seperated from the Mechanicus forces. 'If they are sending such a large force, they must be after an Imperial force nearby,' he thought. This was good as his food and water sould only last two more days and he could always do with a resupply of ammunition. Hearing the sounds of battle in the distance he thudded after them with suprising speed, linking his icarus anti-air guns and heavy stubber to begin auto targeting and firing as soon as he started firing his main guns. With any luck he would catch the Tau unaware from behind and trap them inbetween the hammer and anvil.
