Jarik manages to guide the Space Marines into a half-collapsed tunnel that leads into a sub-basement. The bodies of alien and human civilians lie against the walls, while dust and ash fall upon your shoulders as you advance towards safety. The Astartes find themselves marching into a large underground chamber, almost like a bunker. More dead aliens await them, as well as many xenos computers and equipment. The Apothecary begins to ‘set up shop’, laying a wounded Night Lord down upon the floor and beginning his gruesome work,

“Not the best conditions, but I can work here, as long as the xenos are kept away.”

Haku’s fire into the enemy forces almost falls short, and fails to cause any casualties, instead drawing their attention. The shock troopers jump for cover, some throwing up mortars or readying their auto-cannons. Bolts of plasma begin to fly in your direction, while the whine of motors fills your audio-receptors. The grav-tanks swirl towards you, taking aim with their powerful energy weapons.

Anat’s advance continues to yield fallen Astartes – their bodies wrecked by more jagged crystalline protrusions. Soon the sound of fire dulls as he finds himself some distance away from his original group, though the sound of another fire-fight is not far off. The wreckage of a crashed Thunderhawk, and the sound of bolter fire and plasma blasts echoing from its weathered wreckage.

Daon’s grenade blasts throw the closest of the enemy forces into disarray, allowing him and his brothers a moment of respite as he opens fire. His high-powered auto-cannon blasts slam into the hull of the closest tank, blasting a hole in its strange, organic plate. In turn, the xenos troopers take pot shots at Daon as they rush towards him, slinking from cover to cover. The tanks, finally moving into position, take aim and unleash a furious barrage of plasma. Their blasts blow apart large chunks of your cover, throwing up dust and smoke and nearly incinerating one of the Space Marines that is part of the rear-guard.
