The xenos ranks are finally decimated, leaving them unable to keep fighting on. The Astartes find themselves surrounded by the dead, six of them having fallen during the battle. Few are injured though, with it appearing that any who were wounded were then focussed upon by the aliens. What remains of the Space Marines pull back to Consus, reloading and repositioning, and preparing themselves for any counter-attacks. The Astartes ammo has been depleted, while almost all of them are injured, or their armour has been damaged. A reply comes quickly from command,

"We cannot provide you with solid aid at the moment - enemy forces have moved to block us from you. But we can provide you with the location of another force, which appears to be commanded by a Word Bearer officer. It is only a few clicks away from your current position, and can easily be reached on foot."
