Romulus surveys the grisly scene pondering if there was any rhyme or reason to the carnage that befell the souls within this bay, or if they were simply unfortunates caught in a disaster.

Intent on his evaluation of the gory tableau before him he responds distractedly, "You logic seems sound Brother Maximus."

[Brother Conrad]

Surveying the scene around him after the teleportation, Conrad says, "This stinks of Chaos ritual... Let's be on with it, and find these Heretics. Brother Romulus, I'll take point. I did not bring my Assault Pack due to the tight corridors, but any enemies will perish in front of me nonetheless."

Joining the group for the first time, sigismund joins Conrad and covers their six

The teams are split equally Group 1: Generator Group - Py'ron, Maximus, Jigex Group 2: Shield Tablet - Romulus, Conrad, Sigismond. When I write for each group I will put GROUP1 or GROUP2 at top of heading then the name of the person/s involved in post.

oh haha sorry

[Domine Nox]

Before joining Conrad and Sigismund at the stairs, Romulus carefully investigates the slaughter attempting to discern what could have befallen the men based on blood spatter and any similarities in the ways in which they died. While he does this he allows his consciousness to drift out from his limited senses to detect if there is a stronger pull of warp forces in the immediate vicinity.

Group 2
Romulus

As he searches he see's no signs of gun fire, no spent shells or stray shots. What ever caused the wounds were from something close combat, Blade Claw or Rending.

[Domine Nox]

Moving to follow Conrad and Sigismund, Romulus draws his plasma pistol and force sword. Quietly he recites the prayers and rituals he learned to clear his mind and steady his gift if he should need it on this vessel.

"Be alert Brothers. We are not alone. We should first locate a terminal to find the most expedient route to where the tablet would be held."

[Draco Ny'ade]

Maximus, you are right lets go - we have not long!

[Hector Cervantes]

Maximus checks his combi-bolter, loads a fresh magazine into it, and turns its flamer's firestarter on.
"Let's get moving, I take point."

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Group 1

As you make your way over to the bulkhead the proximity censors register your activity and the hatchway opens. The corridor, long and dark, even your enhanced low light vision is diminished.

Maximus

Taking point position he moves ahead sweeping the corridor. There is another bulkhead closed but what takes his attention more it the overturned Servitor laying across the walkway.


Group 2

Once at the top of the stairwell more carnage becomes visible. Blood and viscera splatter the wall. Here and their large rends can be seen on the wall plaiting. As the three approach the bulkhead the proximity censors register and trigger the door mechanisms. The door slowly begins to open and straight away something can be seen moving. It lurches forward as soon as it has it has room, bloody arms grasping out...
Having nothing to grab hold of the mutilated body falls to the floor. It's back now exposed shows an open spinal column, it's skin flayed from it's flesh.

Maximus, i will return soon i will scout ahead (engages stealth cloak and moves forth, stalker bolter cradled in-hand

[J NOSK36]

Sigismund approaches the dead body with caution to see the damage...."never in my time have I seen anything like this.....what could have done this?"

[Hector Cervantes]

Maximus carefully aproaches the servitor and gets it up. It's an Holomat, servitors that work as Holographic recorders.
The servitor turns its mindless eyes, watching Maximus.
"Let's hope this one can shed some light on what happened here."

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Group 1

Maximus

Upon righting the servitor, some of it's functions whir to life. It scans him. An image is projected onto it's holo plate but due to a large crack in it's geometric calibrator it is is distorted. It seems to be someones face.

"Well now that we had plotted our trajectory we are ready to make the transition. Kinoth has everything in order so I don't s....(Explosion followed by alarm klaxon).... What's this? what's happening? (screams. It looks as though the person is joined by someone) Run run all is lost they have found us their everywhere... Calm yourself there is nothing here....There there!!! Arrrgghhhh!. I don't understand... there is nothing here whats the matter with yo....(gurgling sound,) no, no! Emperor protect us!!"

The projection ends.. after a couple of seconds the message is repeated and the servitor continues to loop.

Py'ron

Scouting ahead in the darkness Py'ron reaches the next bulkhead. The massive door is slightly open. Not enough for anyone to fit through but enough to see movement on the other side.


Group 2

This door looks to lead to a large room. Lockers line the wall and corpses line the floor. A bank of cogitators is set into the wall at one side and a large screen, lit, but splattered in blood shows the Docking bay the Marines have just arrived in. On another smaller screen can be seen the marines stood outside the door around a body on the floor. The luminators flicker and flash giving the impression that the corpses are moving.

[Draco Ny'ade]

i then set a melta charge, look carefully through then use comms to report to maximus

[Domine Nox]

"Something dark, Brother Sigismund." Romulus looks up and down the hall at the carnage, and briefly at the screen as the lights play tricks on the eyes.

"I think it would be inadvisable to linger here longer than necessary." Romulus presses forward to the cogitators, weapons ready for anything. "Keep alert, Brothers. I shall see if I can get us a layout of the vessel."

As he steps forward Romulus switches his vox to try and reach the other team. "Py'ron, Maximus, Jigex. This is Brother Romulus. Be alert, we are clearly not alone."

Spoiler

Going to access the cogitators looking for the schematic of the ships decks and a copy of its cargo manifest if nothing happens before I get to the cogitators

[Draco Ny'ade]

i was about to state the same thing Romulus, Maximus - we are going to need some firepower, no i dont mean a sword raving lunatic!
