Prius jogged after Severa, mentally giving praise for Gix's soul. He would die a warrior, and sit beside the Emperor for all the days to come. There was no better way to die.

-------------------
The door to the bridge was clamped shut, maintain one of the last atmosphereic pockets on the ship. Twisted glyphs of Tzeentch writhed and shifted across its surface, as if the very metal itself was alive...

-------------------

Running. He hadn't run for his life in... centuries. Someone would die for this indignity. Many someones. Perhaps a planet full of someones, such as this one.

And worse yet, he could hear the babble of voices behind him as Legion closed in, moving faster than him.

There was no escape, only to make a stand. Stopping in the midst of a colossal ventilation shaft, he turned to challenge the dread creature, gathering the stones in his bag in his hand, all of them at once.

"Get us in closer NOW" Nathan yelled at the assault boat pilot.

"There attach to the bridge tower and as soon as you do I want hole"

Gix discharged his force rod at the runes, attempting to banish their horrid power.

There was a loud metallic clang heard throughout the ship then a secnd one.Nathan strode into the bridge tower and nodded to Jolan as he finnaly got in .

"Get in the boat were blowing this thing"

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 01:31am

"Can't do it," Jolan replied. "We have to change the bridge controls and redirect the ship."

Gix's force rod melted the door just in time for Nathan's dramatic entrance.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 01:34am

"...fine then we bug out and send this cursed thing to the warp"

Nathan led the way to the bridge.

"Aheh... aheh..." The PsyKing panted as Legion closed in, the voices threatening to overwhelm his focus. He sagged to his knees, holding the stones in his hand.

A little closer... just a little closer. Blood started pouring from his nostrils as the cacophony threatened to overwhelm his defenses completely.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 01:36am

Gix entered the bridge wrapped in shields of psychic force. Convenient of Nathan to show up. His fall back plan was to jump out and hope that his vox and his powers would help him get picked up.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 01:37am

Nathan looked around "OK....wheres the pilot of this crate?"

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 01:41am

The helmslave was a rigid corpse, affixed to his station from the waist up, hands thrown back and face locked in a soundless scream as vacuum had stolen the air from his lungs. On the screen a plot showing time and distance to the station wound down with distressing speed. The controls were in chaotic glyph, no language or markings recognizable in either variety of Gothic...

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 01:43am

"The... there you are..." the PsyKing said, smiling as Legion entered the shaft. Blood ran down the side of his face, from a cut that had spontaneously opened up on his head.

"Been waiting for you... yes..."

"I AM YOUR DEATH!" the voices yelled at the PsyKing... aloud, telepathically, it was impossible to tell.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 01:44am

Gix spoke. "I'll take out the glyph. You use your technical training and redirect the ship. We both get out alive. Sound like a plan?" He raised his force rod and unleashed his power.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 01:45am

"Yeah...... " Nhan went to another control and started to work quickly.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 01:48am

The glyphs flared, fizzled and died. The ship shuddered ominously, almost... writhing as they did.

The power readouts that Nathan were studying started to show an ominous drop in power... if he didn't work very very quickly, the engines would die altogether.

The ship shuddered again.

---------------------
The PsyKing forced the jewels together in his hand... hellish hues of sickening light flowed and twisted around him, building in intensity...

Legion raised his sword to strike.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 01:53am

Nathan typed and ploted ,redirtecing the unneded life support energies to the engines,redirecting them and applying breaking thrust.He checked the reactor readouts to make sure it wouldn`t explode soon.

"Are you finished over there Jolan?"

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 02:01am

The ship altered course, but almost reluctantly, and with a sudden shudder the bulkhead behind them began warping. Unseen by either of them, outside the vessel it began shedding armor plates, weapons, sensor arrays...

The ship was literally falling apart.

-----------------
The blast poured through the two decks immediately above and below the ventilation shaft, disintegrating metal and human flesh with brutal ease. Hundreds died in the immediate blast, and thousands more were to die as the fully unleashed waterworks poured down into the low-hab levels, flooding through them, filling tunnels with a wall of water that coursed through kilometers of hive corridors.

"Yes. I've disrupted the demonic control. That should do." Gix began to run toward's Nathan's ship. "Get us to the surface. LEGION is right behind the PsyKing and I can see LEGION blazing in the warp. If he doesn't finish the job, we will. We can't let the PsyKing do anymore damage."

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 02:03am

"Lets go then the boat can get us planet side my guts are saying this thing is too risky"

Nathan headed for the exit after slapping a box on a bulkhead and hitting a switch.

Master can I provide any assistnace, Lillith spoke fully armoured through her vox.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 02:10am

"Yeah search the fort and make sure theres nothing left to surprise us...I dont know if all of this bastards surprises are accounted for yet"

Nathan looks at the shocked Jolan as the assault boat leaves the ship.

"I try to be thourough"

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 02:12am

"Let's be thorough. Let's stop the PsyKing from killing any more people. If he's gone head to head with LEGION, he'll be weakened. It's are best chance before he rabbits and emerges with another blood bath."

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2004-12-22 02:18am

"Yeah one last thing"

Nathan changes channels on his vox.

"Redout,this is Longinus, fox fox fox"

Torpedoes arc from the Star Fort and easily track the traitor ship.They slam into it and detonate.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-22 02:19am

"Pilot, take us down," said Gix. In his mind's eye, he could see the blaze that was LEGION.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-22 02:40am

The vox was achatter with emergency response units trying to make sense of the chaos. Emergency cutoffs had ameloriated the water flow somewhat, but the cutoffs had been built and installed millennia before, and maintenance had been a so-so affair, but the flood had ended. However, the resevoir that held water for literally millions of people had been largely depleted by the catastrophe, which in and of itself would constitute a crisis for civil authorities for weeks and months to come.

The crater was only mildly impressive to the eye used to the scale of damage caused by modern weaponry. It was as if a piece of the hive had been scooped away by some oversized child. Already, emergency units were crowding the edges.
