Thadios departs the lift, thankful to be out of the death box for now.'Brothers, Diamond formation, let us make haste.' Thadios takes point towards the left hall, bolter at the ready.

[Zero]

Varian takes his position in the formation and follows Thadios.

[Yapay38]

Magron steps into position. "Ready Thadios."

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Leaving the confines if the lift Ivanov powers up his Force weapon. The electic blue glow working down the length of the overly long blade. His shoulder cannon syncronises with his helm as he searches for potential targets enterances high and low. Taking up his possision next to the new addition to the group. He has an uneasy feeling but suppreses the rising dread. Quietly he chants a litany of focus.

"How far till we reach the engine room? The layout we were given cannot be trusted."

[Domine Nox]

"It is not far now, Librarian." Copula says as he watches up and down the corridor. "The layout you were given may not match this vessel, but I assure you I know its ways well."

[Zero]

"Did anyone else see that?" Says Varian as he points towards the exposed hallway to the right.

[Talon Lord Othrim]

"Nagative Brother Varian. However everyone be forewarned! I have touched upon the presance of a strong mind that had remained hidden in the warp static untill now and it is approaching our possition. Looks like the party is about to get started. I feel we are too exposed here, if we are about to engage the xenos we need to be able to funnel their advance into a kill box that will not block our route to the engine room. Corpula.... suggestions."

[Gerhart]

Snarling to himself,'The enemy numbers would be vast to take a company down, we must not get bogged down. We create kill zones when we can, but we must press forward.' Thadios hand moves to the vial of Ithaka water in his pouch, he begins chanting a litany of hate to himself.

++private vox to Ivanov being sent++

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Placing his hand on Copula's shoulder.

"Brother I think it will soon be time for you to reap your vengance upon your attackers once more"

With his close proximity and contact Ivanov attempts to reach into Copula's mind for any signs of warp taint. Probing with great care knowing that Brother marines are trained to resist such measures. He lightly skims the surface of his subcontiouse for any traces of the warps touch not his own.

[Apulo]

Thrax slowly exits the elevator and keeps close attention to his Auspex while scanning the corridors with both bolter and heavy flamer.

"I am ready Brothers. Let's bring the fight to them."

[Domine Nox]

From down the passageway behind the kill-team across the blown out section of hallway there is a flurry of movement. Then from around the debris and shadows cast ominously against the light of the nebula pouring in figures are seen. Genestealers. Roughly ten of the monsters are running at full speed in the zero-g environ along the floor, ceiling and walls. Their talons and slathering maws glisten in the spacial light. In total silence they come, their intent clear.

"I think we have added incentive to move forward." Copula says, as he raises his bolt pistol, while staying in formation.

[Yapay38]

Magron readies his gauntlets to releases gouts of flame when the Genestealers come into range. "Same time Brother Thrax?"

[Apulo]

Thrax carefully aims both his bolter and heavy flamer toward the movement. He checks his Signum data and says "I'm with you Brother. I shall inform you when they are in optimum range."

[Yapay38]

Magron holds his aim steady, waiting for Thrax to give him the order.

[Gerhart]

Finally able to do what he was created for, Thadios' mind is clam and clear. His duty to the Emperor clear. Thadios unclasps a frag Grenade from his waist, waiting to time the throw with when the xenos enter the blown out section, hoping it will blow the xenos into space.'Focus on the closest one, fire when Thrax gives word.'

[Gerhart]

So we finally see action and some of our guys go missing?

[Yapay38]

Spoiler

I guess Nox is waiting for Zero and Othrim to post. I'm waiting on Apulo to give the word for me.

[Zero]

Varian takes aim and fires a burst of bolter fire, hoping to thin the charging tyranids' numbers.

Spoiler

I thought I had already posted.

When other people don't post it's all just quiet, but when I don't it's suddenly spoiler happy? Ugh

Like a tidal wave the genestealers approach, gnashing teeth and claws rendered silent by the environment. As they near the broken section of hallway Thadios tosses forward a grenade. With that motion follows the flash of muzzle fire from Varian and Copula. One genestealer's head explodes like an overripe fruit spraying ooze in all directions. Another stumbles as rounds take it in the legs and it bumps off the wall, and drifts out the whole in the hull into the nebula.

It is then that the grenade reaches its destination and explodes, all manner of debris is thrown in all directions. Fragments of metal come flying back down the hallway as well, peppering the marines. A lone fragment tears into a section of Varian's armor leaving a telltale geyser of escaping pressure.

As the blast clears only three of the remaining genestealers can be seen as they continue their approach. At 60m Thrax opens up the flames on his heavy flamer filling the hall with promethium death. The twitching figures can be seen amidst the flames, before his attack dissipates and and smoking corpses are still, suspended in the zero g environs.
