“Designation: Magos Dominus Aeorum Valance receiving,” responds the near emotionless cant across the transmission, “I command Skitarii Battle Congregation Alpha Trion, currently defending against a siege by rebel forces amidst the shipyards. I am receiving you Exploritor. It is good to receive communication from a fellow Magos.”

Another voice chimes in, likewise borderline toneless, “This is Magos Dominus Freeda Hoyal, commanding Battle Congregation Vector Sigma. I am engaged against heretek forces attempting to march on the provisional capital. I am receiving you Magos.”

“I can provide limited help,” Valance states firmly, “My forces are stretched thin across this station; moving forces from here to the surface is a struggle with Tau air-supremacy, but I can provide tactical data, and some troops.”

“My ability to provide support is likewise, limited. My forces support the governors troops in battle against vile Tech Hereteks; but I am willing to provide information.”

The transmission goes through to the Scions, providing with it the coordinates of the incoming transport; it is not far from them, in fact it is almost directly above the Stormtroopers, “We’re not far, not far a' arl. we can see fightin belah."

Hen’s shots cut through a pair of staggered Tau Fire Warriors, searing through the aliens and leaving to them to collapse As he leaps upon one of the other battered aliens, he finds the creature scrambling against him, swearing and spitting insults in its xenos language as it attempts to defend itself.

As he battles with the Tau soldier, a Valkyrie hovers overhead. The occupants, including the Commissar Osbeorn, are able to spot the exchange of las and pulse rifle fire. Tau troops who’s armour is blackened from explosives battle with Imperial Guard and PDF carrying Xenos weaponry.

The Tau do not give up easily, however. Pulling themselves together, they move to cover and gun down partisans with concentrated pulse fire, while even the well hidden Eldar finds herself under fire from Tau Pathfinders, who attempt to flush her out from her post. The Tau scramble into clumsy formations, attempting to force the Guard and the Partisans back into the burning forest.
