Jarik can garner the enemy are about forty strong and are attempting to surround and cut off the rear guard. Their armoured forces comprise of two tanks, one having been lost to psychic powers. The other Astartes begin to inspect the equipment, working to try to throw together some sort of vox-relay from what they can find.

Sun’s frag grenade gives him some reprieve from the enemies fire, allowing him to reach cover without much hindrance, though his own shots fall short. The other Space Marines follow, one falling to a blast of plasma from one of the xenos tanks.

The Krak grenade blasts open the side of the xenos tank, its movements growing slow and sluggish, yet it maintains its advance, while Daon is easily able to pull Vardes up and help him through the rubble. At this point, the close range of the alien troopers to the Astartes stops their tanks from loosing their plasma mortars – dare they destroy their own men in the process.

The Astartes follow Sun’s command, moving into whatever cover they can find as the Xenos advance becomes slow and bogged down in attempts to move through rubble and wreckage.

The Space Marines look back, seeing Anat move in, and begin to fall back as the smoke grenade goes off. His fire is wild, but the suppressive fire throws off the alien advance, allowing the Astartes to move up to his position. They also loose grenades and open fire into the wall of smoke as they join Anta’s side, “Thank for the assistance, brother.”
