You grab a laudhailer down off the side of the compartment as the Navy officer and surviving armsman come dashing back in to join you, you notice the officer has the dead armsman's autogun in hand as he slams the divider door shut. To either side the
Crimson Son's armsmen have slid back to the shields on the APC's side fire ports, and the compartment is now bathed in a dim red light as the four men systematically begin to unleash a well practiced overlapping grid of las-fire that results in several death screams. Lifting the laudhailer to your lips you begin to speak with the sound of your voice magnified tenfold by the device,
"In the name of the God-Emperor, and his Holy Inquisition I, Inquisitor Maive Imperatrice, command you to stand down or else face the wrath of the God-Emperor's might and damnation without repentance. I repeat stand down, or die."The gangers continue to fire upon the APC, in answer you toss the laudhailer aside to draw your weapons, and signal to Eomann to lead your group out to fight them from the open. He pulls his boltgun to the ready in one hand as he throws the doors open, before he even steps out onto the street the boltgun is roaring and unleashing death up into the supposedly abandoned hab blocks that towered above you. Emboldened by the Space Marine's presence the armsmen rush forward with you following along at the rear, your weapons begin to add to the noise of the combat soon after exiting the vehicle. Within seconds of leaving the APC marksmen you are forced to watch as one
Crimson Son armsman takes a bullet through the skull, and the Navy armsman who is rushing a small group who have taken up position behind the wrecked cars is ripped to shreds by autogun fire.
Grim faced you lead the remaining armsmen up the stairs into the hab to take care of the last of the resistance above as Eomann turns on those holding the roadblock that brought you to a stop. Your guards lead the way clearing out what resistance is left, but about six floors up a ganger with an autopistol gets the drop on you and you barely manage to dodge the clip of bullets he tries to put into you before he draws a knife. With a ganger armed with a knife charging you drop the laspistol, and take your sword in hand as slash forward with all your might, the ganger's head hits the floor moments later leaving you to examine the mass of dead and mild destruction left behind.
Walking down to the street below you meet up with what remains of your escort, three good men lay dead due to an ambush from a group who thinks they have to power fight an Inquisitor, already things are looking bleak. You look around at the dead, the bullet hole filled doors, shattered windows, and the rest of it thinking and planning ...

I would have had this up much earlier, but I some how managed to lose or delete the update about three times now. Needless to say the update is likely not all that good which I am sorry about, but I wanted to get it updated so I didn't keep you guys waiting ....
