"The Emperor has sent you, Brother Zhevordus", the Chaplain mutters through his vox as he pulls himself back onto his feet. He probed the leg for injury and his Crozius for functionality before being saved from the blinding flash of the melta bombs by the automatic filters of the lenses in his helmet.

Once he find both adequate, he gives Zhevordus a simple nod to signal that he was battle-ready before moving to carry out his order. Gaut approached the beast once more, shifting his grip on the Crozius to wield it with both hands. As another flailing, monstrous limb came into reach, the Chaplain swung his weapon like an axe and maimed the limb.

"Many are the claws bared at the Imperium and few are the shields in its defense. In the eternal night of space or under the fire-lit skies of the Emperor's worlds, there are no certainties but death." Systematically, the Chaplain hacked those limbs around him apart, bit by bit. His voice was carried to his Brothers over the vox, a slow, rhythmic litany, spoken with calm spite.

"There are Xenos who are naught but brutish beasts, only able to slaughter and destroy. Inanely, they see the flame of humankind and seek to devour it, only to be burned the weapons mounting our walls and held in our hands." Once he had cleared where his arms could reach, he moved on to render the next pair of limbs asunder.

"Days where we fall are numerous, selling our life in torn limbs and cleaved wounds on our enemies, but our soul rest easy at the side of the Emperor, for we know that our duty has been fulfilled." He paused briefly to trap a flailing claw under his boot and crush it with the full weight of his armor. "But such days are far and few and today shall not be one of them. Our armor is thicker than any hide, our blades sharper than any claw, our Bolts faster than any fang. There is no beast we cannot slay, no lair that could withstand the flames of our wrath. From today and onwards, we shall take tenfold the lives of our enemies and live to see their bodies crumble to ash."
