Corran Thuleyou get a response back -
"NOW, Marine! We have guardsmen squads for perimeter and security reasons, we need you back at the Command Tent ASAP, understand?"Dave Philips, Derek Johnson, and Alexis KittyYou follow the orders, heading to the center of the camp to the parade ground. There, you see something so magnificent as to have never been seen on this planet in a hundred years -
Hundreds of Guardsmen arrayed in their Squads and Companies, Leman Russ tanks ranked by next to Rhino transports. Their gleaming Flak armor swells your hearts with pride. Farther up the field is a hastily erected wood stage which stretches across the far end of the field. Upon which stands the Lord Commander of the fleet, Arnold Volk, and the Colonel-Commissar, Andrew Hinds. They stand before a vox amplifier on a pedestal. You quickly join up in your companies before the Lord Commander begins to speak.
"Men and women of the Imperium. Today we partake in a glorious enterprise for the advancement of mankind, and the Glory of the God Emperor himself. Today, we reclaim this world in His holy name. We shall purge the Heretic, the unclean, the Xenos scum! Men and women of the Imperium, today, we fight! Mankind does not back down in the face of adversity! It is true, many of you will die today. But do not be disheartened by this prospect. For you are the might, the powerful fist that will crush all enemies that wish to extinguish the flame of humanity from this planet, and all others! Today, we do not die in vain, but for the Emperor! With his final few words, he raises his sword to the air, and the Guardsmen cheer his name. Chants of "Volk, Volk, Volk!" Spring up around you. The Commander raises his hands, and the Guardsmen lower their voices enough to be able to hear, then stop eventually. Volk continues -
"Today, our objective is the Munitorium of Hardis, in one of the main cities of this world. It has been infested with Xenos scum, who have been using it to manufacture their nefarious war instruments. Luckily, the Emperor shines upon us today, for it is only the simple minded Orks that pervade this place. The defenses are not especially powerful, so this should be a good place to demonstrate to the scum that this world is not lost to the Imperium yet. For now, head to the staging area to recieve instructions for your individual units."
After this, he nods to the men that he is finished, and steps down from the vox. There isn't much cheering, in the prospect of an assault, but the men salute their Commander nonetheless. They then begin heading off into the tent city, to gather the rest of their equipment and head to their staging areas for the attack.
Mask Wolf and VandarYou walk through the city, Guardsmen standing and saluting your massive forms whenever you pass. A few times, you see fellow Battle Brothers heading in the same direction, but there aren't as many around. Once you reach the command tent, you are met by your detatchment commander, Captain Hadrian Thades. You fit into the tent, even its large interior crowded by almost two dozen Marines in it's space. Around you, servitors and Guardsmen move around, carrying manuscripts and scrolls, preparing maps and the such for the upcoming attack.
"My Brothers," Thades begins, without preamble,
"We shall be spearheading the assault on the nearby Munitorium Hardis for the Guardsmen. Our job is to retrieve a special artifact within the factory known as the Avis Launcher. This is a powerful weapon that we believe the Orks have captured, and is our job to retrieve it. We have intel from scouts that the enemy may be using the weapon, so proceed with caution. The main objective should be somewhere inside the center of the facility. Our second objective, and do not risk your main target for this, Brothers, is to blow a hole in the defenses so that our guardsmen may follow through. And as always, Brothers be Ever Vigilant."Finished you repeat the motto of the Deathwatch in unison, then lean around the table to view the map he places down.
