       Round one missives and narratives
       By: techheresy Date: November 2, 2012, 5:36 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Just a thread to post round narratives and the like for posting
       on the website and for shear reading pleasure
       here i go
       Vallidus’ room was spacious compared to the magi who outranked
       him in the fleet. Against the walls of brass and plasteel
       contained logs referring to various manuals, parts, and other
       items for the use of commander. If one was to search certain
       logs one would find more explicit pictoscripts, to the right of
       the wall was stood a servitor preforming various tasks befitting
       its simple cogitator protocols.
       As the hatch door opened a protocol engaged in the servitor’s
       cogitator in a dreary voice, “welcome home master.” “Hello
       Alfred.” As the automaton poured a glass full of scotch the
       commander pulled a seat up to his desk and began sifting through
       the days missives and various logs that required a signature of
       a officer. As the monotony of missives sunk in a buzzer from his
       gas lens viewer sounded, with a groan Vallidus stated “Alfred
       take this for me’” and took another swig of his drink.
       The servitor answered with his vox unit, “Hello how may I direct
       your call”.  Vallidus sighed and grabbed a issue of his explicit
       literature and began reading to block out the duties of his
       office. “Hrrm sisters repentia with all body tattoos
       interesting” “Shirking your duties Commander?” chimed his
       servitor with the voice of the Magos Dulei his immediate
       superior. “No madam just improving Morale that is all.” Smirked
       the commander as he switched on the lens viewer to view the
       Magos, “Careful least your glibness be removed upon promotion,
       levity aside I have a report concerning the orbital scans of
       Falon’s Regret and your mission for the fleet.”  Vallidus
       nodded, “What have the scans found besides the conglomerate of
       astartes and xenos?”  Dulei smiled wickedly, “The scions of the
       Dark City have made planet fall, and with it their tech ripe for
       taking, and if available purifying for serving the glory of the
       Omnissiah.”
       Vallidus’ interest had been peaked the Dark Eldar are reputed to
       possess much arcane technology from cloaking devices to shambles
       of genetic material known as wracks . Dulei continued, “This
       mission is not under Imperium sanction or tribune knowledge, the
       objective is simple gauge the forces of the enemy and if
       possible eliminate key leadership.” “For ease of the mission
       only take the minimal support squads of your…enhanced
       subordinates, understood?”  Vallidus crisply saluted the Magos,
       “As you wish...Karen”.  With a light buzzing sound the viewer
       shut down, and Alfred’s servos spun up, “What forces will you
       choose master?” Vallidus frowned, “It’s the treachery of xenos
       Alfred, my personal guard will appear as per standard practice
       however I would say veteran squad Delta will provide accuracy
       backed up by the new MkIII enchanced recruits.” “Issue the
       following orders using high level protocols, and prep an Aquila
       Lander in the hanger bay this maybe the edge of a dark
       precipice.” As Vallidus threw on his battle uniform and combat
       armor, Alfred began the task given to him. Vallidus chuckled to
       himself,” I guess the sisters would have to wait till later.”

       Good idea sir, and I'll get your post added to the website.
       Epistolary Luriziel's Journal : Falon's Regret: Entry 1
       I have spent much time in the library of Caliban's Long Memory.
       So much in fact, that I was surprised to learn that we had
       arrived at Falon's Regret. Before making planet fall I became
       aware of several disturbing facts of note. Several Xenos species
       are engaged in their trifling activities across the surface of
       the planet. Perhaps more distressing, several chapters of the
       Adeptis Astartes have begun operations on the planet. That so
       many forces have converged on this planet at precisely this time
       is no coincidence, and I can only surmise it is the doing of
       chaos.
       Immediately upon making planet fall elements of 3rd company
       (whom I have requisitioned for this mission) began making
       preparations for the landing of key operating facilities. While
       this was occuring I recieved communications from an element of
       the Star Phantoms and well as Iron Father Vaylund of the Iron
       Hands. It seemed that the two chapters were interested in
       engaging in practice maneuvers before turning bolters to the
       enemy. I suspect that in fact, they saw an opportunity to gain
       glory against the first born of the Emperor's Chosen. Initially
       I refused their request, but Veteran Sergeant Raphael suggested
       we use it as an opportunity to glean information as to their
       purpose on the planet. Brother Raphael further insisted that
       operations against chaos could not begin until our forward
       operation base had been established. Against this rational I
       acquiesced, and the exercise began.
       Events unfolded as should be expected. In the opening volleys of
       fire Squads Raphael and Malachai expertly chose targets from
       amongst Brother Vaylunds personal guard and a Star Phantom
       devastator squad. The two opposing forces then traded blows with
       one another on the opposite side of an ancient ruin. This site
       had previously been established as an objective for our forces,
       though one may not know it to watch them squabble outside its
       gates. By contrast Squad Raphael, under my supervision, removed
       paltry elements of the Star Phantoms who hoped to hold the
       territory and secured the area.
       Victory would have been indisputable had Brother Raphael not
       been goaded into assaulting Vaylund in the closing minutes of
       the exercise. At the time I considered reprimanding the Sergeant
       for his vanity, but his being humbled by the Iron Father is
       likely sufficient to teach him the price of arrogance. The match
       ended in a draw between our force and that of the Iron Hands,
       but it is clear who would have carried the day if the fight
       continued, and the real goal was only to learn what forces our
       brothers had mustered.

       Commander Nightstaker stood at the helm of the Tau Capital Ship
       the "Eclipse"  studying the data displayed before him.  The ship
       lay cloaked in orbit of a planet uncharted by hte Tau Empire.
       Scans showed that a remarkable number of different Human, Xenos,
       and Tau Factions had arived and begun the process of setting up
       fortified zones of the wild planet.  The planet apeared rich
       with bio and mineral resources but other than that nothing could
       be detected from the Eclipses current range as to what had drawn
       so many to this specific world.
       The Shas'os musing was inturupted by the sound of heavy foot
       falls behind him.  He turned to face the powerfull Kroot Shaper.
       
       "Wellcome Krota, we received the message from your Mercenary
       vessel concerning this planet.  Ethereal O'Vashan ordered us to
       depart emediatly and join you here. I am pleased to have the
       pleasure of once again fighting along side you in persuit of the
       Greater Good.
       "Well met Shas'o, I as well am pleased to fight with our
       battlebrothers, the Tau. What it your leaders bidding?"
       " The Ethereal has ordered me to organise a small recon unit to
       go planetside and obtain intell concerning the other factions
       deployed here while the fleat continues repairs from our last
       encounter with the necrons.  I would be honored if you and your
       fellow Hunters would acompany us."
       "It would be our pleasure. I will have the hunters ready as soon
       as possible and we will bring Hounds to help with tracking and
       allerting us or hostiles."
       The Shaper turned to leave, his black eldar cloak flowing behind
       him.  Nightstalker then proceded to the ships armory where his
       New Crissis Command suit awaited him.  A fire warrior in black
       and green armor aproached and addressed him.
       "Shas'o, the squad is ready and we have outfited a stealth
       gunship to your specifications. The disruption pods are up and
       running and the ion cannon is fully online."
       "Well done, continue to serve loyaly and you may earn a
       promotion.  We depart at nightfall, have our drop ship ready."
       With the troops ready, and the Kroot allies awaiting his command
       Commander Nightstalker steped forward to dawn his Crissis suit.
       The suit came alive with the wirring of servos and the hum of
       the plasma rifles.    A slight shimmer appeared on the veiw
       screen as the sheild powered up. Nightstalker activated the
       Black sun filters to ensure they were fully online. This would
       be a long night.

       I have been sent to the world called Falon's Regret. I have
       secured a base of operations and I am now preparing for the
       cleansing of this world. There are many species present on this
       world. Most of which seem hostile to one another. The most
       imminent threat to my own operation here is the group of
       genetically altered humans who call themselves "The Deathwatch".
       My first step must be to push these vermin back, and then on to
       the rest of the world.
       I am certain that Nemesor Zahndrekh is watching me closely to
       determine my loyalty and competency. I must not disappoint him.

       Deathwatch Strike Cruiser Seeker’s Vigil, High Orbit over
       Falon’s Regret
       Commander Anton Rufio sat aboard the Thunderhawk as it departed
       the shuttlebay of the Seeker’s Vigil.  The drop ship shuddered
       as it released its docking clamp, he called up his most recent
       briefing vid on the HUD in his helmet visor as the shuttle moved
       to low orbit.
       Inquisitor Corwyn’s gaunt visage appeared on the screen, her
       hawk-like features broken only by the small visual augment
       covering her left eye.
       [quote]“Greetings Commander, my sources have found a reference
       to a planet called “Falon’s Regret” in our Archives, they
       suggest that at one point The Libram was there, be careful
       Commander, the records – though decayed and largely
       indecipherable- referred to ‘tin-men’.  My analysts didn’t get
       the reference, but if my suspicions are correct you could be in
       for a rough landing.  Make Landfall, set up a base of operations
       and search for clues – I’m sending you a copy of the pertinent
       files.  Good luck, Commander – Corwyn Out.”[/quote]
       The HUD went black, and Rufio surveyed his troops.  Corwyn was
       sending him out without much backup, only two Kill Teams – alas,
       the Deathwatch was over-committed in this sector of space, and
       unless Rufio could produce results it was unlikely that he would
       receive much more support.
       **Sir, we’re about to enter the Atmosphere, once we’re inside I
       can get some more detailed sensor readings on who all’s down
       there**
       The dropship shuddered and shook as is bumped and burned its way
       into Falon’s Regrets’ atmosphere, Rufio plugged into the
       Sensor-Net as it came online.
       “Emperor Protect Us!” He exclaimed, reports had indicated a
       largely abandoned system, or perhaps a low population back
       water, but there were nearly a dozen fully active combatants
       operating in the sector, and several population centers.  “How
       could our intelligence be so faulty?!”
       The mission must continue, regardless They set down near one of
       the likely coordinates of a Relic and set out searching for
       clues, well aware of signal reports of Necrons in their near
       vicinity…

       Round One, Official Game Narrative Battle Report.  Jarrod vs.
       Jared.  Round one, FIGHT!
       I panned my magnoculars across the base's silent confines,
       noting the lack of movement.  Hundreds of cargo crates remained
       unmoved; some haphazardly piled atop one another, others spilled
       open like the boxes of gifts a child would receive at Candlemas.
       No personnel manned the control tower I now stood in, no cargo
       handlers or PDF guards were in sight.
       I register movement in the distance beyond the VTOL pad and
       security building.  The magnoculars refocus.  By the High Lords,
       there they are!  I reflect for a moment that the fragmentary and
       panicked vox message from Airfield 37 intercepted by Deliverance
       had borne fruit after all.  Judging from the shell holes and
       bloodstains at the vox console behind me, I  concluded that the
       sender of the distress call came to an ignoble end while
       carrying out his desperate duty.  This is the true start of it.
       PDF Airfield 37 has an unassuming name, but this is the
       culmination of months of work by me and my staff.  The early
       deaths, the fruitless searching, the slow buildup of pressure
       like a steam boiler coming to power, all of it ends today.
       
       Enhanced by the optics, my old eyes see a chugging Rhino
       and three bikes round the landing pad.  All were a deep blue
       color,  with red accents and white streaks.  Alongside them
       marches a motley mob of humanity.  The bedraggled majority were
       driven into the base's confines by those at the rear.  The
       threat of the master's autoguns were enough to keep the others
       moving.  The edge of my lip curled into a disgusted grimace.
       Slaves!  I harden myself against the reality that those were
       Imperial citizens being whipped and driven forward.  They had
       their chance, and they had not resisted.  The risk of taint was
       too great.
       
       As I gave orders for the Guardsmen to stay concealed in
       their ambush positions, I descended the tower to take personal
       command of the forces arrayed around the high gain vox equipment
       at the base of the station.  "We have found the enemy.  They
       have returned here for a second time to take the rest of this
       base apart.  No doubt they seek to find supplies and weapons to
       continue their long war.  See that they are denied, in the
       Emperor's name."
       
       "Open fire!"  The surprise was complete.  The initial
       rain of fire going downrange was gratifying.  The slaves
       smashing open ammunition crates by the security building were
       wreathed in explosions as the pre-sighted mortars slammed home,
       and the slaves scurrying like insects over the piles of crates
       were forced to dive into cover to avoid being cut down
       mercilessly.  I kept my eyes on the Astartes force, as the slave
       forces would be as chaff before the scythe to the Guardsmen.
       
       The squad embedded in a flanking position opened fire
       across the runway at the Rhino emerging from behind the landing
       pad, but the tube launched projectile slammed into the building
       instead.  The tarp concealing the Sentinel next to the Guardsmen
       slid off as the driver fed power to the vehicle's legs.  The
       staccato hammering of the autocannon smashed into an Astartes
       bike, one shell hammering through the engine, and another
       decapitating the rider.  The other two bikers swung about and
       accelerated away from the fire zone.  I do not know if the messy
       death of their compatriot has shaken them or if they are
       attempting to swing wide and flank the Sentinel's position.
       
       I knew how desperate the fallen marines were when they
       did not disengage from the ambush and retreat.  The slaves were
       driven forward into our guns by the whips of the slavemasters,
       just to keep the men distracted while the other slaves bore off
       what they could carry of the ammunition they had found.  The
       Rhino powered forward, deploying smoke charges continuously as
       it sought to cross the open ground around the runways.  Missiles
       continued to fall around the ugly vehicle.
       As the vehicle continued to close with our force, I began
       drawing upon my power.  The shaking hands and jerking trigger
       fingers of those around me steadied, falling into a smooth and
       efficient pattern of fire and reload.  My second sight began to
       manifest, seeming to slow the vehicle for the men around me.
       The Rhino took significant hits now, but wasn't out of the
       fight.  It swerved to a stop, hatches slamming open.  As its
       multi-rocket launcher began shrieking heavy fire into our
       emplacements, the fallen transhumans deployed.  Astartes weapons
       made short work of the Sentinel, multiple boltgun hits disabling
       its legs and engine.  I was gratified to see the driver escape
       unscathed somehow, retreating into the vent stacks behind his
       fallen machine.
       
       Now the transhumans drove into the flanking squad
       itself.  A torrent of lasfire greeted them as the penal squad
       drove forward from their position to take the brunt of the
       assault, along with grenades and missile strikes from our
       positions.  Some of the traitors went down, and two were
       directly hit by antitank rockets, ending their wasted lives
       forever.  Still the traitors drove forward at the entrenched
       squad.  The screaming of the Guardsmen could be heard over the
       roar of weapons fire.
       
       As the Chaos marines butchered the men holding the
       emplacement, I saw what had to be the leader of these dark
       knights.  Standing in plain sight, yet wreathed in an aura of
       darkness.  This alone drove home what we were fighting to save
       the subsector from.  These creatures were so polluted that
       shadows clung to them even in the light of day.  I marvelled at
       the Lord's appearance.  Baroque power armor sheathed his body.
       His helm had two curled horns jutting up far above his head.
       The giant pistol in his raised fist roared, messily detonating
       the squad's sergeant.  His other hand bore a longsword wreathed
       in destructive energies, the tip driven through the head of his
       fallen second victim.  A rocket detonated nearby, and the blast
       seemed to be somehow...eaten by the aura surrounding him.
       What few Guardsmen survived fled from the Night Lords.  The
       lord holstered his bolt pistol and contemptuously waved to his
       subordinates.  Half ripped out a power coupling from the power
       generator nearby while the other half picked up their fallen
       brothers and bore them to the waiting Rhino, which continued to
       rain fragmentation rounds into our position to keep us down.
       
       As the Night Lords withdrew with their salvage, the vox
       caster in my suit came back online, and I contacted the
       Deliverance  for pickup and pursuit.  The Night Lords would
       probably escape in the darkness of the approaching night, but
       perhaps analysis of their path and the events here at PDF
       Airfield 37 would lead us closer to finding a way to prevent the
       disastrous portents heralded in my scryings.
       
       As I commit these events to the record, I reflect that,
       in time, a more direct and personal confrontation with that
       bastard son of Curze could occur.  My gaze rises to the power
       armor and pistols in the arming chamber.  They will likely not
       be enough.  Now my most powerful weapon may be needed.  The
       archetech greatsword Barbarisater will accompany me to battle.
       I only hope that if I ever have to draw it, the Emperor will be
       by my side that day.

       Mission – The Relic, Deployment – Dawn of War
       Result – Deathwatch Pyrrhic Victory – Opponent (Blevins) Tabled,
       but only 1 Razorback left ‘alive’
       Phosis Achievements Earned - None (aside from earning 1 Victory)
       Personal Log: Commander Anton Rufio, Deathwatch
       M42.012, Falon’s Regret – 72Y RK 57624 11756
       Taking a collection of Astartes from all over the galaxy and
       forging them into one cohesive fighting force is one of the
       hardest tasks I can imagine.  And, if the standard is success, I
       must count myself a failure.
       We made planetfall today about two hundred klicks downrange of
       the objective, some…Relic, or clue as to the location or
       whereabouts of The Libram – our archives only said SOMETHING
       would be there, it didn’t say what.  I never got a chance to
       find out, though – as we were about to arrive at the objective’s
       coordinates we took contact to our front.  Fully two thirds of
       Kill Team Tector went down within seconds as Gauss fire raked
       our exposed troops.
       We responded to Contact, falling back on our training from the
       Tactica Astartes – establish a Base of Fire, and push on the
       source of fire.  In this case – Necrons.  The Inquisitor had
       suspected that The Libram would be related to these ‘tin-men’,
       and I’d say this confirms it, they were either waiting for us,
       or just happened to arrive on scene at the same time as we did.
       Just as I thought we’d made the measure of our foe the real
       enemy appeared – skimming over a central ruin in some sort
       of…command barge.  He directed the movements of his troops like
       it was as easy as taking a sip of water, meanwhile he blasted
       Tector, and myself, with his under-slung cannon.  Thank the
       Machine-God, my Terminator armor was equal to the task, but only
       just, I received a telling wound in the volley.  Kill Team
       Santair was engaged to my right, maybe half a klik away, I was
       powerless to assist them, but I saw Sergeant Santair launching
       his men into the Necron’s position.
       The worst of my problems hadn’t even hit yet, that damned Barge
       wasn’t content to just shoot us, no, it swooped in and
       absolutely wrecked everything it came in contact with, Gunner
       Maksim put a few rounds into it on the way in, but they bounced
       off just as if he’d been using a las-pistol.  When the Necron
       Lord came closer I found myself…compelled to swing at my own
       men, I … I cut off Brother Aleksander’s right arm…just clean
       through, and then stood there dumbfounded as the Lord proceeded
       to scythe through the remainder of Kill Team Tector as if their
       Power Armor was paper-mache.
       Rather than finish me off, as I stood in shock at what I’d just
       done, the Lord swept off to finish off Santair, which he did
       with little difficulty.
       We would have perished were it not for the crews of our two
       Razorbacks, through the entire engagement, they put out a
       punishing hail of Heavy Bolter rounds, the new solid-core
       ammunition did wonders, even managing to unseat that damned
       Barge Lord.
       I should take a moment to note that we weren’t helpless, for
       every Marine that fell an equal number or more Necrons went down
       with him, thanks largely in part to the Razorbacks, but also our
       new suspensor-assisted heavy bolters, again with solid-core
       munitions.  Once Kill-Team Santair was rendered combat
       inneffective, I signaled a general retreat, and the Thunderhawk
       re-directed to pick what survivors we could manage up.  The crew
       chiefs of both Razorbacks had been pulling wounded marines into
       the crew-compartments the entire battle, whilst the drivers and
       gunners did their best to hold off the tide.
       I myself, do not know what happened, the Lord and I met in
       combat, his terrible staff, and my seemingly useless
       power-sword, even my strength actuators couldn’t help me
       penetrate that machine’s armored hide.  All turned to blackness,
       as he ran me through, his Scythe tearing into my shoulder.
       I am told that Crew Chief Aitu of the Iron Hands won much honor,
       by covering our retreat toward the Thunderhawk, and gunning down
       the Necron Lord as we drove away in retreat.  We failed to
       retrieve the Relic, but completely annihilated the foe…some
       small glory to help with my shame.
       I awoke from Vat Healing and Hypno-Sleep only an hour ago, it
       has been nearly a week.  The entirety of my shoulder, collar
       bone, upper arm, and most of my right rib cage has had to be
       re-constructed, using machine parts.  I feel...different.  I
       have no reason to complain, all of the Marines under my command
       have suffered equally terrible, or worse wounds under my
       command.  It is tiny compensation that we sufficiently wounded
       the frame of the Necron Lord that he and his forces were unable
       to pursue us, and we were able to extract our wounded.  Time did
       not remain, though, to secure The Relic.
       What follows is the roster of the fallen, thankfully, none of my
       men died, but all suffered severe wounds – I shall have to have
       more forces or I fear the Deathwatch will not be up to the task
       of operating for long on Falon’s Regret.

       Post-game Round 1
       We failed to capture the Relic we sought. The Deathwatch proved
       more capable than I had anticipated. And due to a grave
       miscalculation on my part, I disregarded their lightly armored
       transports as of little significance. This cost me the relic,
       and indeed, nearly cost me my frame.
       I approached the site rapidly, I had only a handful of warriors
       with me, it was supposed to be an easy task. The humans arrived
       only moments after I did. My command barge lending me the edge I
       needed to get into the human lines, while my warriors withered
       their numbers at a distance. I sighted a human in heavier armour
       than the others and assumed him to be their leader. I assaulted
       them from my command barge, and the Mindshackle Scarabs the
       Crypteks had provided me with worked wonderfully, forcing their
       leader to attack his own men.
       From there it was little more than a tedious fight. The human
       vehicles I had disregarded proved themselves to be quite the
       nuisance by not only destroying my command barge, but by
       withering down my warriors. I seized the relic after I was
       dismounted and engaged the human warlord directly, quickly
       defeating him. I then turned to the vehicles, who where, at this
       point, the only remaining opposition. Their leaded too wounded
       to fight, and the rest of his men, dead, dying, or unconscious.
       The vehicles proceeded to spray their weapons into me. They
       managed at first only minor damage. I was able to destroy one of
       the vehicles outright, but as I approached the second, it began
       to retreat, firing it's heavy weapon into me. And then I knew
       only darkness. I had expected to arise on the field once more,
       but when I regained consciousness I was in the Cryptek's
       laboratory. My frame had suffered significantly more damage than
       I believed.
       Though, I failed to seize my objective, I did deny the humans
       the object. We are still uncertain as to what it was, and
       indeed, where it had gone. It is unlikely the humans seized it,
       but it was no longer present when my warriors returned to claim
       it.

       Round 1 results. Jesse Wahl: Tau victory verses Nolans space
       marines(star phantoms I think)
       Nightstalker walked slowly back from the medical bay to his
       personal quarters thinking over the preveous days battle.  His
       stealth forces had met with a small space marine force in which
       the Tau won an overwealming victory.  Initialy the humans set up
       a defensive position on their objectives content to snipe with
       their las cannon and plasma cannon.  At Nightstalkers command
       the Tau took up defencive positions in building as one unit
       charged the marines right flank to take an objective.  The
       hammerhead gunship cruised down the left flank shreading the
       marines with its heavy ion cannon.  Finaly the marines scored a
       hit with the las cannon. a hit that would have surely riped
       through the tank but thanks to the stealth feilds generated by
       the disruption pods and the skill of the air cast pilot the shot
       hit only empty space as the tank jinked and cut behind the enamy
       cover and pounded them with AP Ion fire. An An entire unit fell
       to the fire as new events unfolded on the right flank.
       Nightstalker himself teleported into the midst of the marines
       and riped into them with plasma rifle and fusion blaster fire.
       The remaining marines responded my asaulting allong with their
       own warlord armed with a power sword.  Nightstalker killed one
       of the marines as their attacks bounced harmlessly off the shiny
       black iridium armor of his command suit. finaly one marine
       scored a hit his combat knife striking through and wounding
       Nightstalker in the left leg. But by then it was over. The
       marines were forced to fall back as the tank slaughtered their
       forces on the right and fire warriors sniped the remaining
       troops in center feild.  The day was won.  Nightstalker smilled
       he was proud of his acheivement he had singlehandedly taken on
       six space marines and their warlord and not only lived to tell
       the tail but killed one of their number with his own hands.
       Humans may be physicaly stronger but we can out match them
       through superior intelect and technology.   Nightstalker
       continue toward his room limping from his rapidly healing war
       wound. The Ethereal would be eager to hear of this great victory
       for the greater good.
       The latest triumph encouraged Nightstalker. Perhaps someday, in
       the far future, there would no longer be a need for war and all
       races would commune together in the Greater Good. Untell then He
       wanted to experiance more of his new found lust for the thrill
       of combat.
