(Continuing from the last posts of Groups 2 and 4. Aison successfully casts Staunch Bleeding but fails to cast healer. No Perils.)

Psychic energy manages to stop the blood from pooling beneath Aison, but he is unable to find the strength to reknit his battered flesh. He finds himself crippled but alive, and with enough energy to clamber onto the control console and operate it. Despite heavy bleeding, Aison is able to enter the targeting data and activate the missile system.

The tech-heretk manages to latch onto Ceras blade, his jagged, talon fingers wrapping around the sparking sword. With a viscous, static snarl, Orion manages to pull Ceras forward and onto his knees - leaving the renegade Marine to have his helmet smashed against the floor.

The emerging Imperial forces are witness to much of this - though the Guard seem relieved to see the Astartes battling Orion. Verian is unable to tell from their armour or making of what allegiance they hold, bar that of the tech-heretic who is covered in eight-sided stars and other runic iconography. The tech-heretic, Orion, still focussed upon Aison, is unable to defend himself as the melta gun slices through his back.

The beam of pure light sets off Orion's fuel cells, his body exploding in a shower of shrapnel and power cybernetics, covering the room in oil and blood. His face plate clatters against the floor, while the bulk of his smoking remains slumps down before Ceras. He appears well and truly dead.

As Orion dies, the cavern shudders like some terrible death spasm. The computers Aison has been fumbling with light up with crimson warnings as the first missiles launch. A horrendous cacophony of shrieking alarms fills your ears as parts of the camp explode, mis-firing or damaged missiles striking what remains of the Skitarii and Imperial forces outside the cavern, while other rockets fly off into the distance, towards their targets.
