A knock at the door signalled the arrival of Shas'vre D'cha Saum'ol Nan, with one of the previously Imperial Guardsmen, Jonas.
"Come in," O'Shi'Ray said, raising his head from the paperwork, to greet the two.
They entered, the Humans face pale with worry. Vre'Saum'ol Nan quietly said, "Another incursion, O'Shi'Ray."
"Yes. They just keep coming. They're... They're like an endless swarm But you'll hold them back again, right?" Jonas said, shaking slightly with nervousness.
"Of course, Jonas. It is one of only two duties of the Shas and Kor here. Defeat any and all Tyranids. The second is to protect the Human settlers of this system," O'Shi'Ray said calmly, glancing at a series of schematics on his desk, "Saum'ol... Is Shas'ui D'Cha Tak'Tas' La'Rua in position?"
"Yes. They're mounted in a Devilfish, with a Hammerhead support nearby. Cal'Jikitas' Kindred are also in position, ready to take the fight to the creatures. They always seem to like fighting Tyranids... Why, I'm not sure."
"And the rest?"
"Shas'vre D'Cha Shi'Saums' Stealth La'Rua are ready at anytime, as are the Kor'Vesa. They're just waiting on us, Sir."
Jonas glanced back and forth between the two Tau, before saying, "Well what are you waiting for? The Tyranids aren't far off!"
"Nothing at all, Jonas," O'Shi'Ray said, Climbing from his chair, and dropping his paperwork on the desk, "Saum'ol. Ready the Xar'vesas."
