The Space Marines, elite warriors created from the DNA of the Primarchs, "Sons" of the God-Emperor himself. They are the sword by which the Emperor strikes, and the voice by which he speaks the charges of the heretics so they may repent. Tens of thousands of them wander the great Imperium in an attempt to enact the will of the God-Emperor upon it, fighting the dark forces of Chaos, battling the hordes of the Tyranid hives, slaying millions of Orks upon the field of battle, clashing with the might of the Eldar, and fending off the dark undead forces of the Necrons.

You are a Space Marine, after decades of conditioning, gruesome surgery, months of learning the word of the Emperor's words by heart you are ready. Upon this day you shall become a Space Marine, whether you survive the horrors of your first few years, and become a full-fledged Brother in the eyes of your Chapter is up to you, but you must stand strong or fall before the might you will face. Today you will be sent on your first mission as a scout, and it is today that will mark the beginning of your life as a Space Marine, but who are you?

We are a Signus-Prime, a member of the Blood Angels, infused with incredible reflexes, a refined sense for stealth and a skill with ranged weapons.

You are Space Marine: The Trials Begin

"Initiate Signus-Star, do not fear you scouts will not be alone, there are numerous Imperial Guard forces down on the ground, if you need their aid they will come to it, but you must complete the objectives at all cost. Main Objective: Get through the Tyranid forces assaulting the Black Wall, and secure a landing zone for the reinforcements on route to Malsar. Secondary Objective 1: Aid those Imperial Guard forces that are caught outside of the Black Wall, and escort them back to it. Secondary Objective 2: Gather any forces you can, and secure the Adeptus Mechanicus Temple in the area, and make sure all arefacts, relics, and personnel are intact within. That is all Initiate good luck, and may the Emperor's will be with you." A deep voice says in your end, and as the messages comes to a halt crackles out of life.

Around you nine other scouts sit, their gear in hand, some look about nervously, and others sit about mumbling prayers to the God-Emperor swearing to do their duty to him even if death is the cost. The loud sound of the hastily claimed Valkyrie's engines roar in your ears, and the sound of gunfire filters its way through the thick hull of the ship. The vox-radio aboard the gunship comes to life, and a feminine voice speaks up "Two minutes till landing, heavy enemy resistance so we'll have to drop you off a bit shorter then you've ordered, and it seems it'll be behind the Tyranid's vanguard." With that the radio cuts off, and once more the room is filled with the din of engines and gunfire from outside.

After two minutes of waiting you feel a solid thud, and the whirring gears of the side door as it opens beckoning in the full cascade of the sound of gunfire and explosions outside. Within moments you, and the rest of the scouts burst out of the interior of the Valkyrie and spread out around the roof of the building you find yourself on, down below scattered firefights and the sounds of gunfire and screams makes its way up to. The whirring sound of gears comes once more, and the Valkyrie takes flight zooming away from the rooftop leaving you to figure out your next action.

I vote for being a part of the Salamanders or Space Wolves.

< Check All the weapons ALL of them.
< Cleanse Heretics from the area around drop off zone.

You are Space Marine: Three Choices
« Reply #7 on: May 13, 2012, 08:41:10 pm »

You check your weapons one more time, and fine nothing to be wrong with them other then the fact that you have only a few clips with you, you'll just have to make those you have count against the Emperor's foes. Looking around you see most of the scouts taking the scopes of their rifles to their eyes, and then conversing with each other about what they see. Heading over you find one of them bent over a ten pieces of paper hastily scrawling notes, and drawing little symbols on each of them, within twenty minutes he has ten nearly identical maps which he then hands to each of the scouts in turn. You get yours last, and give him a slight nod before he speaks up, "Okay guys, I suggest we split up to complete the objectives given to us, four to secure the landing zone, three to secure the guardsmen who are trapped under tyranid assaults, and three to liberate the Adeptus Mechanicus temple. Everyone agree?" They all nod, and grunt their agreement to the plan, after several minutes they turn to you asking which mission you want to be sent on.

Yes, but see it says that they're clips in the rulebook, so I'm going by that end of short argument
