Nathan looked at the sigil and smashed it with his sword,he looked at the puzzled commisar.

"Plasma is a heat weapon.Lets go we need to go deeper... Find whats down there"

Prius lifted the pistol off-line. "We should get moving to the next strongpoint, then."

----------------------------
It was a slow, painful grind, but the servo-skull tugged the flamer down the shaft to Lillith and the eldar, who sat in front of a pile of rat corpses that totally clogged the shaft in front of them.

Gix activated his vox. "Prius, status?" He hated being in the dark.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-25 01:47am

"We've cleared one strongpoint of rioters, moving on to consolidate the others. We've got them at least partially contained at this point. We've discovered Tzeentchian glyphs that are probably the source of the disturbances. Status on the search?"

As they moved to the next strongpoint, the situation was grimmer. The Guard was not equipped for civil control like the arbites, and attempting to transition to gas rounds had let the rioters get into the midst of them.

Nathan steped in and begn using his sword to aid the guard.

"Prius find the talisman in the area and smash it .I`ll handle the rioters"

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-25 01:54am

"Do what you have to to control the rioters. You're the man on point, use your best judgement. I'll see what I can do about the glyphs." Jolan knew he was giving the people over to Prius's non-existent mercy, but half measures could be disasterous. He headed over to deal with the Tzeentchian runes.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-25 02:02am

"Acknowledged," he said, not even sure which Inquisitor he had on his live transmission channel, before switching over to the other channel. "Acknowledged."

There were knots of rioters at the edge of the mob obstructing his way... briefly. Sword swinging, he cut his way through the edge, enough so that the rioters began giving him a clear berth. A man raised a stubber, aiming it at his face. Prius fired his plasma pistol from the hip, incinerating the rioter.

Find the glyph, he though. Where? He reached out with his senses. Where was the wrongness? The disturbance?

There.

Nathan looked at the Guard Colonel. "Call in an airstrike , kill zone from 20 meteres from where I stand out to a full klick and a half.......... I want an emperor blessed parking lot."

Gix felt the flow of energies, the fearsome psychic puppet strings that the followers of Tzeentch excelled at. From there, tracing them back to their points of origin was easy. A little cross indexing on a map and . . . ."This is Inquisitor Gix. Tzeentch glyphs are located at the following point." He repeated the coordinates. Hopefully this would speed things up.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-25 02:29am

Prius rattled off a list of units. "Use whatever force necessary to move to the coordinates from the Inquisitor and destroy the glyphs. Preferably using meltas."

He moved toward his own target glyph, waves of psyk-emanation pushing against his mind. In its way it was like walking against the tide, but he surged forward and plunged his energy blade into it. The blade stabbed into the glyph, arcane energies sizzling against the powers of technology, coruscating across blade and wall. With a sudden snap, the blade died as the glyph faded. Prius stared briefly at the blade, the emitter molten and sizzling.

And that's why we consecrate our weapons properly with the word and soul of the Emperor.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-25 02:33am

Prius hurried back toward the strong point. The Emperor had moved within Nathan to call down His righteous wrath upon those who would oppose His law and His servants. He didn't particularly care to be caught in what was about to become the kill zone.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-25 02:52am

The fighters streaked in, raining death upon the mobs, destroying more structure of the hive in the area and causing massive amounts of chaos. Prius watched it appreciatively from Nathan's side. Twenty meters was damn close to cut it, though, and blast waves buffeted them.

Prius had to give Nathan credit for his commendable courage. He didn't flinch as the blasts struck nearby, nor present anything but a cool, calm demeanor.

His unseemly compassion may overwhelm him at times, but he does not lack for bravery.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-25 03:00am

Prius smiled with cold satisfaction at the carnage. Across the board reports were coming in of resolution on contacts, as shattered mobs were driven back and exterminated.

"Gix, Ristani. By the Emperor's Grace, we have resolved the riots. Would you like for me to join you?"

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-25 03:09am

Gix smiled. "It would be a pleasure commissar-colonel."

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-25 03:16am

"Enroute."

He 'borrowed' a power maul from an arbites trooper before proceeding to Gix's location. After a while, the faint sounds of his passage through the flooded corridor could be heard.

After a few moments he arrived, emerging into the glow of the lights. He hadn't used a light himself, instead using his spatial awareness to guide him through the pitch-black corridors.

"Inquisitor," he said, eyeing the Legio troops, who were stirring restlessly at the lack of activity.

Adivan nodded to him as he arrived.

"Greetings, Colonel-Commissar. I hear you and Inquisitor Talstrem managed to disperse those riots fairly efficiently. Well done. Shame about all the property damage, but I suppose it was unavoidable, especially since the alternative would have been a lot more dead Guardsmen."

The beastman or alien approched, it's upper body wore the uniform of a guard officer, no injection collar, was visible, it traveled along on the muscular "foot" of it's lowerbody, a mock lamia, type mutant. scales glistened as he approched, unlike the foces he appeared to be nominally in charge this creature actually gave care to it's appearance. polished leather bandaleer, kept the reloads, andf carried the holstered laspistol, ready. even without a lifetime of training to hate the aliens most people find reptiles reather disturbing. Ones that talked, and carried meltaguns, far more so.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-25 12:12pm

He nodded at Adivan. "When possible, preservation of force is preferable. By Inquisitor Talstrem's orders this block will be cordoned off in perpetuity due to the warp disturbance anyway."

He shrugged at that, dismissing the civilian casualties, which had already passed from his mind.

However, the presence of local xenos had not. He watched them suspiciously, expecting them to turn and begin screaming heretical oaths at any moment. And if they did, he fully planned to introduce them the business end of his power maul.

Nathan directed the setting up of a proper perimiter this time .He set heavy bolter teams up and had them entrench with guard squads in support. Arbites were moved more evenly about so that they could more readily launch a gas attack if needed. Though he doubted it would be as effective the next time.

Wounded were moved out and supplies flown in .

"Gix ...Talstrem. Securing the perimiter so you have no unexpected company from our end....No more than can slip through as infiltrators"

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2004-12-25 07:41pm

As a heretic charged the Guard Captain the "proper english soldier" spit in the foe's face, the traitor died screaming as the purple neurotoxin coursed through it's viens...

(the bear is tooo sick to drive)

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-26 12:14am

Jolan touched his vox bead. "Acknowledged." A quick check through the servo skull sendings and then a psychic sweep of the area completed his checks. Everything checked out at tolerable levels. "This is Gix. Proceed."

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-26 12:21am

Not wanting to discuss strategies in front of the possibly disloyal Legios troopers, Prius subvocalized across the across the vox on a private channel to Gix.

"It would likely be best if we were to consult the arbites on where these shafts lead and work to cordon them off. We're wasting time here."

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-26 12:32am

"If they have maps," responded Gix. He was well aware of how badly outdated and inaccurate most hive maps were. "It's worth a shot. I'll continue with servo skull mapping and we'll coordinate results."

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2004-12-26 12:37am

He nodded, voxing the the arbites and having a brief, intense chat with them. No surprise, their maps were mostly outdated and vague, but they promised to turn up the next-best thing... a Tunneler, local slang for members of juve gangs who make their living snaking through the shafts for deliveries, ambushes and espionage.

The servo-skulls continued mapping the network, which was fairly extensive. The central ventilation center was half a kilometer down and flooded, as were several of the other openings. As escape-routes went, this one was an excellent choice.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2004-12-26 12:48am

Gix smiled as Ristani sent the data through to him. "Excellent work commissar-colonel. " Gix grabbed a group of arbites and headed down towards a link up with the central shaft. Maybe they would get lucky.
