The Space Marine Commander was reviewing the progress of the search, everything was going as planned. The search was slow, but a thorough one had to be. He was satisfied with the progress, and put down the report. Minutes ago the Space Marine radios had erupted into turmoil, but the Commander was so engulfed with his work that he failed to notice. Then a Marine burst into the room.
"Sir! Look at the city!" The Marine said urgently.
The Commander looked over at the Marine with a bewildered look. He slowly got up and went to his window. A look of confusion crossed his face. He stood there a minute, and then it clicked.
"What the hell is going on!" The Commander said when he turned around.
"It's the Tau! They came out from under the streets!" The Marine said frantically.
A look of anger crossed his face; he had underestimated his enemy. He pushed past the Marine and into his camp.
"Everyone form up!" The Commander yelled angrily. All of the soldiers formed up into ranks and stood at attention. "We're all moving out; right now!"
The soldiers ran to their transports and loaded up. The Commander got onto his bike and rode to the front of the ranks. Banners of the unit were raised on two Rhinos that were behind him.
"For the Emperor!" The Commander yelled; he raised his sword into the air.
"For the Emperor!" Came the thunderous response.
The Commander revved his bike's engine and rode off towards the city. Behind him, the remains of his command post followed.
