"Brother Chaplain, we have lost five warriors in an engagement against the enemy. It would appear the enemy posses psychically gifted mortals capable of slaying Astartes and their creatures truly are servants that appear more than willing to die for their masters. We ran into psyker along with a number of other mortals just now as well as larger and more powerful variants of xenos slaves armed with carbines and blades capable of piercing our armor with ease."

Jarik looks around at the bodies of the fallen Astartes and the corpses that the mortals were studying, disgusted once again by the fact that they are being desecrated,

"From what we have found, the enemy are gathering DNA, tissue, and other organic samples from out fallen brethren, for what purposes we have yet to discover. It is possible they are also taking our weapons and technology, studying our ability to wage war both on a biologically and technological scale. The creatures also appear capable of rudimentary decapitation strikes, targetting officers in the midst of battle despite a lack of apparent commands from their masters."

Jarik walks over to the entrance of the tunnel, peering within whilst speaking into the vox,

"Our path has led us to tunnels leading underground, the mortals escaped down within it whilst we battled their slaves. I presume that they have some strategic presence down below and it also coincides with the coordinates of the signal we are looking for. We will likely lose contact once below. Any news on your side or orders before we go underground?"

Jarik signals Anat, Vardes, Sun'Haku, and Daon over to him. Using combat signs, Jarik signals that the remainder of the squad is to be organized into 3 groups of 5 and that they five are part of the vanguard. He signals them to make ready to move immediately and be ready for close quarters combat.
