DH RPG - Rodan Moon Arc(4)

[guardsman001]

Curtis will drive the transport into the bay speedily, she will ping the auspex on the way into see if any hostiles are present using the vehicle's enhanced sensors... she will inform Stig of any hostiles in the area

Lucious stunned and bewildered at who and where he is will attempt his first reaction, data recovery in an attempt to remember who and where he is...

[Wayne S]

Lazerus shouts, "Curtis, into that vehicle bay!"

Curtis steers the Dakar into the bay. It plows through the dune and slides to a stop inside. The hazard lights continue to flash as the outer door reverses it's traverse and begin to close.

"Helmet's on!" Lazerus commands pausing only a moment before he opens the rear hatch a bit to vent the cabin of the fumes from Lucius' melting synapses.

Lucius' mind is shattered bits and pieces of memories drift past like a million puzzle pieces. He grasps at them, gathering them, and trying to fit them together into a whole.

Smoke continues to drift up from his hood.

The interior of the vehicle bay is lit with sweeping flashes of orange from the hazard lights. It is a massive rockcrete room, cluttered with machinery and unrecognizable vehicles, all in an apparent state of disassembly.

The door slides shut and the lights go dark.

[guardsman001]

Lucious grasping at his memories will realize he must do a complete system reboot of his fragmented mind, in a last ditch attempt to regain himself, his hopes, and his beliefs he will risk the reboot.

Curtis will suit up after driving the vehicle into the bay, she will grab her bullpup lasgun and start pull 360 security around the crash site, she will mention over the vox that the tech priest is down and may require medical aid.

[ImperialServant]

Lazerus will drop the rear door on the vehicle and hop out, sweeping the vehicle bay for hostiles as he looks for doors.

Stig will stay in the turret and also sweep the bay with the mounted heavy stubbers.

[Wayne S]

The beams from the Dakars stab lights throw shadows around the bay. Lazerus hops out of the vehicle and sweeps the area for hostiles. The servos on the gun turret whine as Stig traverses doing the same.

Curtis moves around the vehicle checking it for damage. Xaphon and Hercutio disembark and move along behind her weapons ready, eyes wide with fear. Xaphons lips move with silent prayers.

Slowly as if is the clutches of a dream, Kron and Sila step out of the Dakar, hand in hand and their faces serene.

Inside the transport Lucius is rebuilding his mind. He resets his memory cores and recalibrates his cortextual indexes. With a grand leap of faith in the Omnissiah carves whole secotrs of scorched data patterns out of his cognitive circuit, rebuilding himself from scraps. It all takes but a few moments and then the Tech Priest smelling of burnt synthetics is returned to normal operation.

Lazerus pans his lamp pack around the bay revealing a heavy clutter of broken machinery, scattered crates, packaging tubes, and partially dismantled vehicles all covering in a colorful layer of corrosive dusts blown in from the wastes.

Everyone, even the seemingly entranced psykers flinch as a personnel hatch on the far side of the bay opens with a bang.

A service corridor bathed in blood red light awaits.

[guardsman001]

Curtis seeing the fear in the men's eyes will look back and say "fear not for the beloved emperor has brought is here according to his divine will, he shall protect those who serve him in his time of need." She will then go to a low ready with her weapon and start moving towards the blood red light

Lucious will exit the vehicle and look around the hangar for either an access data uplink or a terminal to see the level of corruption within the complex and/or to get map data on the current complex

[ImperialServant]

Lazerus will hurl a frag grenade into the hallway before taking cover behind the most solid pile of junk he can spot.

"Take Cover!" He bellows as he covers the hallway with his weapons.

Stig will cover the hallway with the heavy stubbers while he waits for anything to show itself.

Curtis seeing the fear in the men's eyes looks back and says "Fear not for the beloved emperor has brought is here according to his divine will, he shall protect those who serve him in his time of need." She then goes to a low ready with her weapon and starts moving towards the blood red light.

"Take cover!" Lazerus shouts as he hurls a frag grenade into the red corridor and dives behind a engineless sand tractor.

The grenade sails over Curtis's head and into the red hall the custodians close behind her, teeth clenched, weapons ready.

Stig tracks the grenades trajectory with the heavy stubbers.

Lucious stumbles out of the Dakar. Still unsteady on his feet he leans heavily on the vehicles hull as he scans the room for a data port to access. He sees one on the wall next to the red doorway.

KA-BLAM! The grenade detonates in the confines of the hall. Blasting debris and shrapnel back into the vehicle bay. Everyone takes cover as hot metal fragments ricochet around the room.

A piece of furious flying steel hits Sila in the eye as she tries to turn away from the blast. The jagged steel kills her instantly and she falls to the floor as if in slow motion, still holding Kron's hand.

Everyone hears a long anguished cry tear through their minds as Kron screams with out sound.

The red light is out and the hallway is now just a smoking black hole.

[guardsman001]

Curtis looking back will see the psykers demise. She will look at the people following them and say " I want your fields of fire covering that entrance, cover me while I do what I must."

She will then run back towards Silia and once there she will read off the final rights from her imperial hymnal, she will look at kron and ask him to read multiple passages for his sake as much as he dead Silia.

Lucious ignoring the meat bag drama will move toward the data port and link up to the systems to see what he can gain access to from map data to security reads to simple logs to see what has been happening within the complex

[ImperialServant]

Lazerus will advance to the side of the doorway, before peeking around the side to check if it's clear.

If it is, he'll advance down the hallway while beckoning for the rest of the group to follow him. Stig would then dismount and bring up the rear.

If it isn't, he'll open fire at the nearest target with Stig providing covering fire.
