Magos Technicus Primo,
we have entered the Qaf system, where according to our sources more information regarding the missing STC is located. Upon warp transit we detected a vast chaos presence on the surface of Qaf III. There are several strike cruisers in orbit, it appears they are out here in force. We will commence landing actions shortly, and engage enemy forces. The Chapter will engage in boarding actions, while the Guard units are deployed planetside. The presence of the renegades suggests we are on the right track.
For the Emperor and the Omnissiah.
Captain Luwak, Steel Confessors Council.
“Report,” Luwak said.
The responses came from every section of the command deck. All was in readiness. Luwak watched the pict-screen, waiting for the right time to strike.
“Chaos strike cruisers moving to intercept, forty seconds, lord.”
Luwak knew fully well that the chaos presence wasn’t a coincidence. They were getting closer to the prize with every jump. Imagine the vast power if the original information proved to be correct.
“Thirty seconds.”
“All weapons primed and ready, firing solutions are loaded,” called the Master of Ordnance.
“Twenty seconds.”
“Give me shipwide vox address.”
“Done lord.”
Luwak carefully considered his words, knowing they would be heard by tens of thousands of crewmembers, Imperial Guardsmen, and his fellow battle brothers across the entire ship.
“This is your captain. The eye of battle is upon us. The renegades and heretics seek to claim our prize for their own. We will show them the folly of their ways, and annihilate them. Every single one of you is a vital cog in our machine. All hands, all souls, brace for battle.”
“Five seconds, lord.”
“First volley as planned, then fire at will.”
“Aye, lord.”
“Lord, we are in weapons range. Enemy fleet is priming wea-“
“Open fire.”
