Good news crew, Battlegroup Vympel has manged to clear some of those planetary guns. We've managed to return the Penance into orbit and we'll give you air support as soon as we're able, on the meantime I've sent some resupply transports to land over the outskirts of Watcher's Point as our sensors detected a massive heretic force approaching. Rearm yourselves troopers, you should be able to see the transports landing by now.
Be safe. The Emperor Protects.
Mhm? Very well, I suppose we should go and grab a different transport..
You coming LIX?

Hm? I think I want to check up with the others first, make sure they're ready.

Uh, anywhere where the engineers don't feel the need to pray to every single wire that they touch.
>>44708270
Make it quick, I want this Thunderhawk off the ground ASAP.

Let me offer you a counterpoint: nowhere, you are going nowhere.
And stop trying to pass for a Vindicare already!

>>44708356
>>44708361
Alright you two. Relax.
Let's see, first answer to the Necron. No. This is how we treat spies that hide their real motives to come with us.
And now Anna, calm down a second. I agree he needs a watch over him but he's still an ally... if you've got any problem with allying with Necrons you should speak to Verasii about that, no point on wasting ammo on friendly fire.
>>44708366
AND SOMEONE CLEAN UP THAT MESS!
>>44708404
I legitimately thought that she knew about this the whole time. Hell, we told Verasii.

>>44708858
The Iron Warriors, as most marines from the Great Crusade have a pride as big as their power armors. It's no surprise they see a human as inferior. I would not underestimate them even so, they can probably track us given the number of troops we have outside, but I doubt they'll be able to penetrate the fortress' defenses even with an orbital strike. And even if they did they'd gladly do us a favour by freeing the Daemon engines trapped beneath the ice faster.
