- Vox active. Hail, Inquisitor.

- Hello, Servitor. Access Case File 2213

- Of course. *Servos whir and paper is shifted over the Vox*

- I'm waiting, Servitor

- Case File 2213 is as follows:

82nd Lyra Light Foot, presumed MIA in the crusade by Lord Solar Macharius. Warp Storm possibly the cause. Total effectives numbered at approx. 300 soldiers, with approximately fifty dedicated to heavy weapons, fifty to Stormtrooper and Sniping disciplines, ten were enrolled in the commander's Retinue. The remaining 190 were regular infantrymen in 10 man squads.

- Do you have a more specific query?

- What is known of their commanding officer?

- Colonel Julius Rawlsing, Commander of the 82nd, was known for his almost heretical beliefs. Be it treating the Xeno respectably, as if a rival in a board game, or disagreeing with the official imperial policy of exterminating Psykers. He was blacklisted for Inqusition inquiry upon his return. Rumors speculate he intentionally forced his ship to be sucked into the warp storm.


"Colonel, I cannot allow you to-" CRACK!The entire room went silent. The Captain dropped dead. "More bodies will drop if we don't go into that storm!" Shouted Colonel Rawlsing, pointing his pistol about. The Helmsman pushed his controls to the right, bringing the vessel on course. Messages began to stream in via Vox, and one of the Colonel's men put a blast into it.

"This is Heresy!" Shouted a man from one of the control panels. Rawlsing approached him with a hastned walk and slapped him in the face. "You know nothing of Heresy!" Responded the Colonel.


- Interesting. That will be all, Servitor

- Of course, Vox offline.


As it was the most popular at the time, and I was in a writing mood, I started the Imperial Guard Crossover. I haven't read the Gaunt's Ghosts book, so I can't do them justice. However, I can do the Imperial Guard themselves justice quite well.

As always, R/R.
