Chapter 5: A new perspective

On the planet of Sparteria

Wheather: Stormy

Time: Evening

population: 200 million not counting legions of Skitarii

A Wych move with the busy crowds in the market square as humans bargain and haggle prices on foods. She was here on a mission, and she was determined to do it. She was quite young for even Eldar, 120 years old, 12 years old to others. Her sisters told her that the Coven needed food, so they sent the youngest to buy food from the humans as her sisters called them. Unlike most Eldar, the Coven calls them humans out of bloodline respect, considering that they had human parents themselves.

Kiri Warden was born in Commorragh to a loving human mother and an abusive Drukhari father. Life was tough in the Kabals and even more tough as a Wych; she was always assaulted by her peers and was never welcome anywhere. That was before she met the 'daughters of Isha' a Coven of Dark Eldar who are master of infiltration and melee experts, they also are great healers by slowly absorbing injuries from others, healing at 4 times the rate and revelling in the pain they receive, as being dedicated to Isha has its perks. It was strange to see Druhkari revel receiving pain, but even more strange that they all had human blood in them. This was her new life, and she was willing to try to be the most helpful Wych in her Coven, something her sisters were amused to see.

Her Coven had piqued the interest of several Kabals as their usage would greatly lower warrior casualties and maybe make great concubines. However when word reached out that they all were half-Mon'keigh most if not all were repulsed from the idea of Mon'keigh Concubinds, even if they had Eldar blood in them. But that wasn't the case for minor Kabals like 'The Seven Blades', 'Poison Spears' and the 'Blood Spillers' a minor Kabal that seems on the verge of attaining the title of major Kabal. The Kabal's prince, Hexus Grekah, was able to convince his father, Kelos Grekah, to recruit the Coven into their ranks.

They performed with such grace and skill that other Kabal Archons were like "Oh shit, they really are good!" and tried many ways of swaying to their side, something Kelos wanted to take advantage of. He ordered the Coven to do small betrayal operations against rival Kabals, with also the secondary objective to steal their shit. This was very beneficial to Hexus as the huge amount of drugs and tech from other Kabals and the fact that said Kabals are gone proved to him that these women were very powerful weapons.

This all ended as the Wychs of the cult heard of how Kiri's mother was skewed by the Archon and made Kiri watched because it was for shits and giggles. This enraged them as when you make a Wych, especially a young one, cry all hell breaks loose. This prompted them to silently murder the Archon in his sleep and place the blame on one of his slaves. After this murder, they stole his fortune so to make sure that his son, who frequently harass all the Wychs, will suffer as much as his father, only slowly. They continued to work underneath the new Archon of the 'Blood Spillers' and continue to do more raids for him until he does something stupid.

She was busy on haggling down the price of a Medusa tail and a couple of cans of spam, both which are essential for the continued operation of the Coven. The rest of the Coven were all seeking to integrate into society to prevent suspicion. Ever since the failed raid of Athena, the rest of the Kabal blamed the Wych cult as they had not participated in the raid. The Coven thought this was unfair considering that the Kabal's leader ordered them to sabotage the defences of Sparteria to prepare the second raid while they do the first raid.

Kiri looked around to see many of the guns powered down as people in the streets take notice. A voice was heard over the speakers "The planet is under attack, this is not a drill. All citizens should stay indoors and contact your nearest Adeptus Arbites. I repeat-" The voice continued as many people in the square panicked and rush towards bunkers, homes and anything that has a roof over it. Sounds of Druhkari fighters and bombers fly ahead with Imperial interceptors giving chase.

Kiri rushes back to her Coven to tell them that the Kabal has begun their second raid. Only to come face to face with a Skitarii in black robes and red eyes, holding in his metal hands what appears to be a Stubcarbine. ++Young child, you should be at a shelter, come with me.++ He grabs her hand gently as if he knew how to handle children before and takes her to a HUGE fortress with a flag representing three golden lions on a red base. The metal doors open and they enter. It also looks like it has engines at the back for some reason.


Above the planet's atmosphere...

"I don't know how they got into weapons control, brother, but whoever did that will feel my wrath in the form of my Macrostubbers." Hayden brings out his dual Macrostubbers in both of his hands, powering up. He also had a shoulder-mounted plasma rifle for extra firepower.

I brought out my flask and offer it to him; he accepts and drinks it and calms down a bit. "Thank you brother," he holsters his weapons and sits in a nearby chair. "The Druhkari are still being held back by the interceptors. But they are losing the battle and if they fall, brother, all hell would break loose and we need to get on that damm planet right now!" He brings his fist down on the armchair shattering bits of stone.

"Indeed," I take a seat across him ", and the first thing to do is getting the AA up again. Then we can find the saboteurs." I brought up a live feed from orbit on the air battle. At least 5,000 Druhkari fighters and bombers were fighting aginst 1,500 imperial fighters. The imperial fighters somehow managed to force the Druhkari to stay in one spot, which is a feat within itself. However, imperial pilots are dying fast, so we have to get the planet quick; it's only a matter of time.

"Where the hell is those transports!?" carp my brother is cranky again, time to bring out the whisky. Don't worry, we can't get drunk.


Kiri was nervous, she did not know where she was going, but wherever she is her sisters are not going to find her.

The inside of this place was massive! She had not seen such vast walkways at all. It's as if something as huge as a building walked these halls, something powerful. This would be a weapon that could repel the raid.

She continued to have terrible visions of what's to come until she reached a red door with 3 golden lions. Her 'saviour' knocked on the door in a rhythm: tap tap tap, tap-tap. The door opens with a sound as if it has been open many times before. She sees a red and golden knight wielding massive weaponry she could not recognise and with big turrets on top, maybe they had multiple pilots?.

"Andel? What the hell are ye doing here? I ordered ya ta take out the damm space elves out of the sky." A man in a red knight armour with a golden lion symbol on his chest. His face covered by his shaven beard and his eyes emerald green. His body was more muscular than others as he regularly maintains his knight on his own without the help of tech-priests. His leggings are chainmail with plate armour covering his knees and feet.

++My lord, I have brought this child to be in your protection.++ He directs his hands towards her as she is in shock that she gets to meet a knight face to face in her life. She has read stolen books about the knights, and while they are imperial, their tales of chivalry and honour in war have made her have more childlike wonder.

"Oh!" He seems surprised that his Skitarii was bringing a visitor at this time. "Well come here cub, don't worry, I don't bite." he goes on one knee and brings out a cookie. He offers it to the child with an open palm.

She causally moves forward towards the man, eyes never leaving the plasma pistol on his hip.

"Hmm? What are ye looking at-" he looks down to his gun and smiles "Ah, I see." he unholsters his pistol and slides it away. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you."

She walks a bit faster, and once she reaches him, she takes the cookie and munches on it a bit. The taste soon overwhelms her mind, and she gobbles it up.

"Heh, hungry little bugger ain't ya." He faces the cyborg. "Secure the landing sites, we need those reinforcements." He would do it himself but doing so will reveal himself to other knight houses and considering he murder a pilot in a drunken fight they won't be happy.

Andel nods then salutes, he then runs off to the landing pads and joins his brothers, leaving me and Kiri alone.

"Alright then, time to tell ye some stories." He looks at the child "Make yourself comfortable. Ok lass?" She nods and sits on a sofa. He then goes to a bookshelf to take out a book. He moves his finger until he reaches a red book. "Ah, perfect." He takes out a book called 'Life of King Arthur'.


Near the landing site...

++Brothers! Hold them back!++ Andel barked towards his fellow Skiraii brothers as they defend the imperial landing zone. He counted 12 dead Druhkari by his hand and counting more.

Andel was a unique Skitarii as he was designed personally by an innovative tech-priest as a new class: stealth hunter while keeping his rank as Skitarii Alpha. He handed Andel to his friend for extra support when he goes into battle. He had a thermal vison mode for night time battle, magnetic boots and glove for space combat and improved aiming, a black clock for night time operations and a right shoulder-mounted 360-degree camera for anti-flanking. He also was allowed to keep his memories and personality for reasons unknown but to the tech-priest himself. He also has a more fleshy voice than other Skitarii, the Tech-priest made it that way as for better crowd control and pacification.

His Skitarii under his command takes out a Druhkari bomber with just the sheer amount of fire from their rifles and Stubcarbines. It crashes into a PDF Baneblade and kills half of the crew while the rest burn alive.

Raiders land in front of him as Kbal warriors disembarked their craft and Jetbikes firing upon him. He stood still as many of his brothers fall, he aims his Stubcarbine and fires one burst taking out 4 Jetbikes in a row.

Behind him, he can hear the sounds of engines as Valkyries land with fresh troops opening fire. He can also hear his creator, swearing.


The parker brothers...

"Fuck em up, boys! HAHAHAHA!" Hayden shoots his Macrostubbers as many Druhkari falls like flys in a sandstorm. His plasma rife blows up a Raider and two more by proximity, that whisky really messed him up.

I fired my slug rounds into a Druhkari as his head exploded into a bloody gore. I could see Andel with his Skitarii and multiple PDF companies. Being as the acting major until the rest of the captains get out of prison in the next few months, I ordered the entire battalion to form up and wedge towards the city square. Their Autoguns fire as they march to, as orbital reports say, a 1,000 massed crowd of Dark Eldar trying to enter the sewers. Why the hell the sewers? I mean they don't really go anywhere as the architect made sure that the sewers didn't threaten any strategic locations. Not unless...Oh, shit.


In the sewers...

"Sisters! The Kabal have betrayed us! Prepare yourselves!" A Wych says as everyone in the Coven rushes to grab their weapons. Some are still nude from showering in the clean sewers. They formed ambush positions and prepared their Wych knives and stolen Phosphor Serpenta guns from the many AdMech armouries on the planet. The entrance to the sewers has been barricade with all types of pipes and furniture they had stolen.

"Where is Kiri!? Where is she!" One of the sisters demands as she looks around frantically looking for her, figurately, baby sister. This started a mass panic within the Wychs, now knowing that they lost the one thing that made them genuinely happy. And this made them ANGRY.

They proceeded to scream as one with such psychic force that a powerful entity in the warp heard it, one that seeks forgiveness.


In the Knight fortress...

"What the hell?" I look around me as a mini earthquake past by. Something ain't right.

"Stay here, little cub," I told the child as I grab my helmet. "If anyone comes, ye run."

She nods, not understanding what is going on right now. I rush towards my knight as it lowers its hand for me to climb on. (A/N Think Titanfall but with gun gauntlets.) The Knight's weapons and cores powering up as I move very slowly to the door. The sounds of my knight echos within these empty halls, the sounds of gears clicking and grinding, and the sounds of the distant battle ringing in my ears.

The Lion is locked and loaded.

With Kiri...

The knight walks away, leaving me alone. I look around to see a backdoor, maybe that will lead me to my sisters! I run towards the exit and see a manhole, perfect!

I enter the manhole and begin to head towards my Coven, I hope they are okay.


The huge battle of Python square...

Gods dammit! They have a fucking Wraithguard! How the fuck did they get those!? Shit, It just took out a Baneblade and 15 Leman Russes, 15! I ordered my battalion to surround the square with a trench and wait for reinforcements. I also ordered Rolf and Hayden to plant explosive in key areas above the sewer tunnels and prepare asset squads.

A man walks into my command tent "Sir! An Inquisitor from the Ordo Xeno has pledged his entire Deathwatch company to assist us, as well as an entire Crusader house." Ah yes ever since big E removed the Crusader house 'man at arms' restriction a Crusader house would have a standing army of 500 crusaders, and that's for small houses. Very OP if you ask me. And an entire Deathwatch company as well? That certainly will help us.

The tenches we have been building also ran through some buildings so at least we have the extra cover and some height advantages. However, the Druhkari also somehow managed to steal a tau shield generator. So both sides have high entrenchment, just great.

After a couple of months of digging in and skirmishing...

Welp, I just got voted as the major, or LT Col if other sources are to be believed, of the battalion and now I have 800 men and woman under my command. Natalia, Rolf and Kelvin have also been promoted to captains as they are the only people I trust at the moment. I also requisition some modified Hellguns, modifications by Hayden of course for my battalion as the primary weapon until I can find a better alternative standard gun.

I had my Vultures and artillery routinely suppress the Drukahri shield every day, my hope is that it will cause the Tau shield to power down and we can cut them down with Las fire.

The smoke clears and shows that the shield still stand. Many of my men grumble as they were hoping for a quick and bloody fight.

The Inquisitor, Kellrex Graven, a puritan within the Ordo Xeno wanting to kill some Xenos did a charge with the entire Deathwatch company. It failed spectacularly at first because as soon they entered the shield the Wraithguard one-shot the Inquisitor's legs off with its Wraithcannon but managed to survive that like a boss and ordered his entire company to open fire on the Wraithguard, destroying it in a matter of minutes while taking minimal losses.

The Inquisitor was dragged back and sent towards the medical tents. He freaked out when he saw that our only doctor, Sammy Lexus, was a feline and refuse help from the Abhuman. He was soon teleported to his ship for his human doctors to work on him. Sammy said that without her herbal aesthetics, made from her planets abundances of grass (read: catnip), the Inquisitor was going to be in a lot of pain.

Without me realising the sun was rising behind me, and many men did not have enough rest since yesterday. I went to check on my brother and Rolf to see that all the explosive planted and ready. I told them that the Crusader house lead and the Skitarii led by Andel and me will scour the sewers to find the Wych cult and capture them per Andel's request for interrogation.

"Well, at least we can find their home-" Hayden stops "My scanners are picking up more Druhkari Raiders coming from the west at 2023.2 meters and closing in." I look behind me to see a bunch of black dots literally covering half of the dawn sky.

"Shit." I run towards the Crusaders "Crusaders you better be ready because we're going in, now!" The sewer entrance explodes, I unsheathed my broadsword and entered the sewers first, I turn on my hip flashlight as the sounds of whispering ahead and feet clashing against water from the Crusaders echo on metal pipe walls. I signalled the Crusaders to follow me down the tunnel.

Somewhere in the darkness...

I look at the armoured humans as they move towards my Coven with weird metal men, including her ' saviour'. She takes a smaller and quicker route thanks to her small and petite form. She moves silently and gracefully to her Covens secret entrance/exit. She enters to see a massive battle between her Sisters and the Archon with his retinue of elite Incubi warriors.

(Eldar speak)

"(You think that after this raid you would be free? HA! After your betrayal of my father, Kelos Grekarh, my family fortune was gone! When I found out about this I knew you were the cause of my RUIN!)" He shoots one of my Sister with his Blast pistol, she gracefully doges it and lands on her feet. A battle soon commences as blades and guns fire. Kiri spots one of her sisters signalling her to run, she does.


With Hayden...

The sky was filled with Druhkari Jetbikes and they are fucking everywhere! I fire into the sky like everyone else as the Jetbikes seem too numerous to effectively fight back. "We need more guns!" I yelled to Rolf with his autocannon in hand "I would like to have that too, sir, but we are the only ones left!" He opens fires and takes out a couple of Jetbikes but that still is not enough. And with the planets guns silent for another hour this planet will fall.

"Did someone say more guns?" A booming voice was heard behind me, I turn around to see a Dominus Knight Castellan with its two Gatling Plasma Cannons firing. Wait a fucking moment, is that the bloody Lionheart?!

"Hayden! I see ye are in a bit of a pickle. let me help ya with that." The Knight's two Galing Plasma Cannons mowing down Jetbikes as the Knight moves slowly over my head. The Knights heavy assault cannon turrets firing at individual targets and bringing down several Jetbike groups in a matter of minutes. His back opens as unstable Plasma cores are shot into the sky like rockets into the sky and detonate, taking hundreds of Dark Eldar in huge explosions. Too bad this will feed Slaanesh but hey, what you gonna do.

Wonder hows my brother doing right now. I look at the sewer entrances to see Druhkari blood on them, well shit.


In the sewers...

"Push them back!" I drove my sword into a Druhkari and swing upwards and slice his head in 2 while also deflecting a blade.

We found Druhkari in a sewer intersection that is the size of the fucking titanic and holy-shit do the Medusas build big sewers, they could be better at this than Britain and that's saying something. With shallow pools of sewage next to several advanced filtration systems, I doubt this planet is a Fortress world and more of a Hive World.

The Druhkari had more Warriors then I expected, at least 3,000 more. Thankfully they are easy targets for the Skitarii and paper to the Crusaders. I spotted Blaster and Phosphor fire up top on some sort of balcony. A little Wych was running and acrobatically descends away from the battle and took aim with my stub pistol, only to be stoped by Andel.

++Let me deal with her.++ I shrug and let him do his thing. He grabs the Wych's collar on her barely covering attire and began to talk with her in Aeldari.

(Eldar speak)

++(Little one, I thought you were supposed to stay with Richard?)++ The Wych was surprised that her 'Savior' was speaking Aeldari quite fluently. Her eyes dart towards to John as shoots his shotgun into a Druhkari warrior tearing in him a massive hole. She looks back into the red lenses of Andel.

"(Please, help my sisters!)" she points towards to her Coven losing a desperate battle against an Archon and his retinue of Incubi. Many of her sisters are backed into a wall with no escape.

++(In exchange?)++ He moves her to the left to take out a Kabalite warrior with his Stubcarbine shredding his head into bits and pieces.

Her eyes look downward. "(Our services are yours.)" She did not want her sisters to die and starts to cry a bit. Andel wipes her eyes and puts her down.

++(Proposal accepted.)++ He then looks to his right and orders a squad of Skitarii to assist the Wych cult. The Skitarii are then overridden with a series of code by Andel as to make sure they do not question his orders and forget it soon after. They line up as one firing squad with sights at a 100-meter distance.

++Ready!++ The Skitarii ready their Transuranic Arquebus, ++Take aim!++ they take aim with their accurate lenses, ++FIRE!++ and they fire with a roar.


Back with the Coven...

Kelia Storm looks behind her to see a massive bronze-like wall and looks in front of her to see the Archon and his retinue of Incubi ready to charge. Her sisters were all alive with wounds healing in a matter of seconds she looks to her left to see Kiri next to a metal man putting his arm down as if giving the order to fi-.

Her thought was cut short as the Archon and his retinue of Incubi are headshot with an extreme force that she could have sworn that their bodies flew. The sound that came after was defining as she covers her sensitive ears. She looks back at the corpse of the now-dead Archon and his retinue are on fire. She looks to her left to see Kiri running towards her.

"(Sisters! Are you ok?)" Kiri hugs me as I regained my senses.

"(Kiri, what happened? What did you do?)" There's no way in hell that Kiri had a hand with this, she can't even handle the recoil of a gun for Isha's sake!

She looks away as a metal human comes forward. I gave him a stern look while he scans the area.

++She has given your Coven's services in exchange for our help.++
"SHE DID WHAT!?" Of all the things she had to do, this was the worst option she could have chosen. I look to my right to see the human with the shotgun was poking the chard body of her former employer with his bayonet.

++John, don't do that.++ The metal man said to 'John' as he puts his bayonet away. He brought out a flask that probably has alcohol and drinks it.

++The first thing that I would ask you is what are the Druhkari going to do next?++

"They will begin another assault from the skies with an allied Kabal, which Kabal I cannot say."

'John's' was ringing as he brings out a device and answers the call. "Yeah? Oh, really? The Lionheart!?" That last bit caught him by surprise.

With John...

Holy shit, Richard came out of hiding. That is going to be a problem, half of all Knight houses want his head and he just had to reveal himself now.

"Good news, the Kabal entire Jetbike and Raven fighters were obliterated by Richard and his Lionheart." I look at the shocked faces of the Wych's as some of them look fearful of what's to happen next.

"W-what now?" The youngest of them said, Kiri, I think her name was.

I brought out my flask and chug the drink. "Now? You work for us. I would suggest you hide in the belly of the 'Shield Breaker', one of our Light Cruisers." I walked towards the balcony and see the Crusaders and Skitarii cleaning up the rest of the Dark Eldar. Several Sisters of Battle flamer squads came and burned the corpses as the Inquisitor came in with his new bionic legs.

The Crusaders kneel to the power of the Inquisitor as he walked past them and looked at the chard bodies of Dark Eldar, and spits at them. He then heads to our positions with his Deathwatch bodyguards.

I turn around to see all of the Wychs have left going into secret exits and entrances earlier, all except one.

Kiri was wearing a brown cloak that covered her body and had a hood to hide her face. She was behind Andel who just said, in hand signals, to roll with it. I hope you know what you are doing Andel.

The Inquisitor enters the room with his bodyguards following second. "Who is this child?" He asked sternly.

++This child was a Dark Eldar slave and we managed to save her from them.++ Andel gestured to the chard bodies of the Archon and his elites. To demonstrate he displayed a visual reenactment thanks to the built-in projectors in his lenses. The reenactment was completely fake as it shows me and Andel kicking ass while Kiri was cowering in the background.

"Well then, Major Parker." I stand at attention. He looked at me with a neutral expression. "The child will be in your care until you find an alternative, is that clear." At the last bit, he went dead serious.

I answered "Yes, Lord Inquisitor." and then bowed. What? It's nice to be respectful.

He nods then leaves, one of his Deathwatch Marines, an Ultramarine from his heraldry, looks at Kiri and me for a good while and then leaves as well. Whew, that was a close one.

"Hey Andel," He carried Kiri in bridal style. "good job on the reenactment but why do we still have her?" I point to the little girl in his arms.

++Well, we need something to make sure the Coven uphold their end of the bargain.++ He lifts Kiri up as a point. Ah, the brilliant art of hostages.

Later...

We head up ground to see that Violeta was waiting for us at the transport. She handed me a tablet with the report on the battle composed by my brother.

Regiment casualties: HIGH

Status of Colonel: Alive

Status of Richard: Knight deployed smoke grenades and flew off with the large Knight ship 'Normandy' into regions unknown

Battalion casualties: MED

Natalia's Company: HIGH

Kelvin's Company: LOW

Rolf's Company: MED

Orders from High Command AKA The Lord Commander of the Imperial Guard: Head to Kreig for suspected Chaos invasion

The required course of action: Return to Holy Terra for resupply and fresh troops

We can't go to Cadia yet considering that we don't even have enough manpower to even hold a fucking district. I have either the choice but to go Terra and reject the Lord Commander himself or go to Kreig for an absolute massacre. I don't really have a choice, do I? FUCK.

In other news, the Black Templars have stopped their mastering of Mutants and Abhumans, like theirs ever a fucking difference, and also have been taken in Battle-Psykers as well. There also reports that they are working other Abhumans as well such as; Felinid medics, Ratling snipers and scouts, Squat engineers (A/N CANNON MOTHERFUCKERS!) and last but not least Beastman labours.

Other reports also include but not limited:

A company of 200 Tempestus Scions have managed to hold off a tau boarding party on their way to Ultramar.

The Regimental Primer shall be reworked as per the orders from the Emperor. Good, we can use it for something else other than toilet paper.

Magnus the red and Rogal Dorn have returned to the fold and have joined the imperium. Why the hell was this news delayed?

Putting the report down I dismiss the Commissar and proceeded to enter the transport. The craft shaking as it leaves the planet's atmosphere taking us into the 'Shield Breaker'. As we enter in the very small hanger, and when I say small I say the size of a new york studio apartment in both height and width, a loud bang was heard and the transport fell a couple of feet before hitting the ground. Apparently, one of the Enginers detected a problem within the machine spirit of the transport and proceeded to chant to it in order to appease it. The transport, probably atheist, was really annoyed by this and proceeded to cut its thrusters and crush the tech-priest. After this incident, the other Tech-priests wanted to scrap the machine spirit and sen it to an early grave but while they were trying to turn on the melter on, my brother, Hayden, requested to experiment on the machine in exchange for toasters and to sweeten the deal he added in a fidget spinner, it was at least worth 200 toasters.

Anyway, I headed to the bridge to see the captain, Jero Gruter, a man who thinks that glory is his right. One example was that he left a convey of refuges to attack at a chaos vessel that was actually a distraction as the rest of the chaos slaughtered all the refuges while the captain was busy taking out a bloody escort ship. The admiral that was in charge of the fleet heard of this he punished him by making him wear a spacesuit without thermal heating and shove him out of an airlock for 5 minutes. When he came back he lost all his toes and fingers from frostbite and had to replace them with mechanical ones. Now he's VERY bitter from that.

"Captain Gruter, how long will the journey be before we reach Kreig?" He puts his cigar down and sighs.

"If we're lucky, 4 months." He swings his chair around to face me.

"I assume there will be trouble along this road?" I mean we are going through a literal hellscape that is filled to the brim with daemons and the like.

He just grunts as the warp drives engaged bringing us into the warp. I head back down into the ship to see the Colonel.


At the command centre...

What da fuck? Most of the Majors here are too young, some of them are like 20 years old! one of them has a fucking child strapped to their chest!

The Colonel, Herker Bronzeborn, was not a reasonable man as he was worse than the previous Major in my shoes. The only difference is that he's much smarter and better at using tactics, granted said tactics require mass numbers.

The discussion started on what we first do on Kreig.

Most of them agreed that we should recruit at least a Battalions worth of Kreigsmen.

However, there is a divide on who gets the Kreigsmen as everyone including me wanted the extremely suicidal but very elite soldiers. What happened next was people screaming bloody murder as fake accusations of heresy and threats of mass destruction flew left and right as the Colonel just up and left the room.

I left as a fight breaks out between the before mentioned child carrier, a 22-year-old mother by the name of Juno White, and a 26-year-old man with a horrendous moustache, French Junker. They duel each other with their chairs. Don't worry the child was given to her brother, Jake White.

Somewhere in the ship...

I pass by Andel's room as he puts a blanket over Kiri and sings her a bedtime tune. He then enters his charging station and enters sleep mode.

I keep walking and notice shadows moving in the vents. The Wychs have not caused that much trouble ever since they got here. One of them gives me the middle finger before retreating into the shadows.

I look into my brother's personal room to see him experimenting on the before mention transport ship. His plan was to convert it into a gunship/transport similar to an MI-24 Hind Gunship. His tinkering has also gained the attention of Mars as several overrode servitors had tried to assassinate him in the past few days.

I finally reached my room and opened my door. I jump into my bed and just fall asleep, today was a rough day.

End of chapter 5
