Sergeant Lucius walks down the passageway , and passed by multiple brothers sitting silently in their chambers , meditating on the emperor's will and seeking his guidance . He passes by a statue of the emperor , he pauses for a brief moment , kneeling and giving a quick prayer . A serf , looking down at a data slate , almost runs into him , looking up just in time . Lucius looks down upon him , the serf is a head and a half shorter than him , even out of his armor . He glares at the serf for a brief moment , and the serf feels inside his heart that he does not look upon a man , nor a monster , though that is what he may seem . 7 feet 9 inches even out of his armor . A face that has eyes that have centuries of life inside them , and a face that bears a head that has lost most of it's once fair golden hair , only a few locks clinging to his scalp , and multiple nasty scars , the worst of which caused him to have his eye replaced with a bionic one , acid burns on his left cheek and temple , and a nose that had clearly been shattered and remolded dozens of times . Nay , this thing was neither man nor monster , it was a holy angel of the emperor , death made incarnate , his eyes stared into his soul , and made himself feel unworthy , even evil in his sight . He was stunned by the behemoth , perhaps by fear or anticipation . . . or something else . "Step aside" The Marines deep rumbling voice , said in a monotone . The voice bubbled , like something was wrong with his vocal chords or he had congestion in his throat . In truth , though the serf of course did not know this , a genestealers , which had single-handedly killed 3 terminators during one mission , had punctured his armor with it's claw , and almost tore out his jugular , he should have died , but medical treatment and a space marines will to live kept him alive . Though his voice was permanently altered . Making it difficult , but not impossible to show emotion , and giving a very slight gurgling to his words . It came the facade that he was calm , even in the very rare moments of panic . " A bit like a recaf machine ," the serf chuckled softly at the thought , as he hurriedly squished himself against the wall , letting the giant pass . The giant continued and passed a portal into a place where there awaited him 20 serfs and servitors , and they put upon him his holy terminator armor that , as he was of the first Company he had the right to wear . The serfs placed holy oils upon the armor , coaxing the machine spirits to life , others connected fibre bundles to nodes and others cleared air and buildup from the pistons and servo muscles that allowed him to move in the shell of blood red ceramite bonded plates . Chased with gilding and brass and reinforced by plasteel and adamantium . And it's great bulk was powered by internal suspensor plates and electrical fibres . It took hours until it was finally done . He then retrieved his thunder hammer , "Xenos's bane" and his storm shield and storm bolter , as well as 10 bolter magazines , so a total of 1,000 rounds . Then he entered the chapter monastery , a 3 story building where an entire company could be assembled , it was made almost entirely of stone and lit by torches , unlike the rest of the ship , which was made of metal , there Captain Arenos Karlaen awaited to give his speech , Lucius was fond of the Captain , as his speeches were simple and to the point , and he was generally a good warrior and brother . "Brothers , we have assembled here today to begin the cleansing of Wolredion 4 , and while the entirety of the 2nd company and reserves from the 6th and 7th company will drop in for regular actions , you have been assembled for special duties ." "Here is the state of the planet , Wolredion 4 is an Hive world with a population of 45 billion . It has 5 continents which will be labeled by C for continent followed by their number . C1 is mostly secure . C2 is under attack by orks and has lost %60.3 of it population . C3 is uninhabited . C4 is under attack by tyranids and has lost %72.1 of its population . C5 is tyranid held land , only one bastion remains , and it has lost %97.8 of its population . Squad Cadus will land in the last bastion of C5 and shore up it's defenses and push outwards until we have enough space to land in the 200 million guardsmen waiting to drop in as well as 65 marines of the 2nd company . Meanwhile Squad Helix will land in C4 , enter the capitol , and retrieve the planetary governor or his children . If that fails a blood sample from one of them will be sufficient ," "Now that you have your orders , get to your drop pods immediately . . . for the emperor's will !" "FOR THE EMPEROR'S WILL!" Resounded through the monastery .
