[Apulo]

Magos Apulo stood on the command deck of the battleship Master of the Code staring at the blasted hulk in the distance. Once a proud fighting vessel of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the craft identified as the Volharding was little more than junk littering the black of deep space. A brief flash of what could only be called grief crossed his face as he said a prayer to the Omissiah for the wrecked technology before him.

"Status" Apulo barked in the binary speech of the Mechanicus and instantly technical reports flashed before his eyes. Damage reports, atmospheric readings, radiation levels, and most importantly, life signs.
Apulo pondered for a microsecond, he knew what awaited them within the hulk and that many lives would be lost but the prize he sought would be worth every drop of blood that would be shed.

With a simple thought, he activated the vox to his "guests" quarters. "Recusiarch, are your marines ready?". Recusiarch Sammael replied "Yes Magos, we are prepared.". "Meet in the port shuttle bay and we shall make our way to the target." said Apulo, almost demandingly. "Of course Magos, " replied Sammael, "We shall make haste.".

Within the makeshift Chapel-Barracks aboard the Master of the Code, Reclusiarch Sammael cut the vox, shaking his head slowly from side to side. "Gear up Brothers! This damn fool of a man-machine requires our skill to find himself a new toy.". "FOR THE EMPEROR! FOR DORN! FOR THE IMPERIUM!" the twelve marines shouted in unison as they headed for the shuttle bay.

Apulo once again absent mindedly activated the vox. This time Secutor Rhama, the leader of his Skitarii forces answered the call. "Yes Magos?" he said. "It is time to depart." replied Apulo "Gather your squad and meet in the port shuttle bay. We depart as soon as possible". "Is the item you seek aboard the hulk Magos?" queried Rhama. "Indeed it is." was the reply "but our task will not be easy.". Rhama paused for a second before finally asking "What will we be facing m'lord?".

"Genestealers." Apulo emotionlessly replied before cutting the vox.
