By the way words in "Bold letters like this" mean a Gothic speaker talking in Gothic around or to somebody who doesn't understand it.
"Sir Brother-Captain Jonathan says he was boarded by hostile Xenos, but has pushed them back to there ship and is now counter-boarding them. He also says the Fifth Company has sustained light casualties and one grievously wounded and ten killed." "Sir all ships except Brother-Captain Jonathan's report they are all right and still in position around us." "Sir…" Mark stood at the center of the storm of individual ship acknowledgements and fleet status. Suddenly he turned to Tech-Marine Brother Isaac as he helped try and get Gregor right side up again. "As soon as you are done there I want you to do a scan of the ship at the ship status console," pointing to the console with a chapter-serf who had a jagged piece of shrapnel sticking out from the back of his head. "And report back the ships status to me as soon as possible." "Brother-Librarian Rafael" "Yes lord?" Rafael said. "I want you to scan the immediate are for any signs the Necron tomb ship and any other Xenos or traitor scum lurking nearby." Mark said. "Yes lord" Rafael replied before putting on a look of immense concentration. "Sir all ship system's check out okay, void shielding is at two hundred percent. Reactors one, two, and three are at one hundred percent. Starboard and Port side lance batteries are at one hundred percent and holding. Also Tech-Cardinal Baroque says the manufactorium is up and running again." "Very well, tell Tech-Cardinal Baroque that he has my sincerest thanks for getting things up and running so soon." Also tell Fleet Admiral Walter that I thank him for forming up around us in a protective screen. "Now get me a connection to Brother-Captain Jonathan…"
"…ome in …Brothe…are you…situation report." Captain of the Fifth Company Brother Jonathan strained to hear the word's of Chapter Master Mark Anthony. Sighing inwardly he turned to Veteran Sergeant William of his HQ squad and said "Try to scrub the interference out of the signal, or get me a new channel." "Yes Sir" William replied. Pausing for a second he took a minute to inspect the hangar bay he and at least half the Company were trying to clear out. It was lit from what appeared all directions by a strange bluish purple light. It stretched from the end where Jonathan and company were sheltered behind two disassembled Xenos fighters with several others ready for take off scattered around the middle to the other side where the damnable aliens had set up two rapid fire plasma cannons and some sort of portable energy shields. Already two Brothers lay fallen on the deck. Their corpses smoking, a testament to their plasma cannons rate of fire. Snapping out of his thoughts he tried to glance around one of the thruster cowlings, only to be forced to duck around again as one of the turrets sent a withering hail of fire at the spot where his head had just been. "By the Emperor I've had enough of this nonsense" Jonathan said angrily. "Everybody listen up!" turning to the Marines behind him. "Okay Tactical squads , I want you to lay down some suppressing fire on those damned aliens, put out so much fire they can't even poke an appendage out from behind that barrier." Turning to the devastator squads with them he said "while the tactical squads lay down suppressing fire take aim at that fire point, when our fire lets up hit them while they try to man those guns again." Turning to the 5 assault squads he said "after they slag those guns you all will haul it over there double time and eliminate any enemy resistance." "Does everybody understand their objectives?" As one the Marines replied as one "Sir Yes Sir!" Mark felt infected by confidence they showed him. "Very well then boys, FOR THE EMPEROR!!!" "FOR THE EMPEROR!!!" the Marines replied. "alright then tactical squads OPEN FIRE!". Immediately the tactical squads started laying down blisteringly accurate fire. The two hunched back aliens on the plasma guns never knew what hit them. One was blown apart instantly by the amount of bolts his body was hit with. The other one hunched down behind his gun and started to return fire. But soon a three round burst from one Marines bolter hit it in the head. The first two made its shields flare and collapse, the third entered its elongated head and upon detecting significant mass detonated. The resulting explosion blew its head and part of its upper torso to red mush. The other aliens decided to just poke their weapons around the shields edges and blind fire at the Marines. Immediately upon seeing this effect Jonathan said "Tactical squads cease fire. Devastator squads wipe those Xenos scum from my sight!" "Sir Yes Sir" rising up from the cover they had been hunched behind the Devastators opened up on the impromptu bunker. Las cannons reached out blasting the shield generators, overloading them. Plasma cannons and multi-meltas vaporized the enemy plasma cannons and metal blockades. Heavy bolters and krak missiles blew apart the aliens now out in the open without cover. Most though just took cover behind other objects that hadn't been vaporized. Seeing the enemy cowering behind cover Jonathan gave the last order. "Assault squads go now!" Rising up on pillars of fire they immediately made a straight line for the enemy. Some more curious souls poked their heads out to investigate the noise, only to have them popped open by accurate bolt pistol fire. Landing in front of the aliens cover, they activated their chainswords and went to work. It took one stroke with a chain sword to drain one of the alien's shields. The next stoke either disemboweled the aliens or decapitated them. Three minutes later the alien screams and human war cries had ceased. Then a triumphant sounding assault sergeant said "all clear Sir" "very good" Jonathan replied. "All Marines move out" "Apothecaries tend to the fallen" "Everyone else follow Me!" Trotting to the door the aliens had been guarding, Jonathan could see it led to another of the alien's damnable purplish light colored hallways. It stretched for about ten feet of unbroken before two doors could be seen on either side. One was open and purplish light was spilling out of it. Seeing that it would be suicide probably to send normal Marines down the hall with out knowing what was waiting for them, Jonathan turned to the five Assault Terminators with him. "I need you five to go ahead of the main group and secure those doors." "Yes Sir!" they replied. Setting off down the hall they got nearly half way to the doors before they came under fire. Blue and green plasma blast hit them but it wasn't as strong as Imperial plasma fire, plus Terminator armor was made to with stand tougher fire. So wading down the hallway plasma darkening their white armor they got to within two feet of the door, when a Gold armored alien stepped out and roaring a challenge of defiance charged the leading Terminator. He had just activated his power claws and brought them up to a defensive position when a blue energy blade impacted upon them. Momentarily caught off guard by this new weapon he was to slow to block the alien's next attack. Suddenly a brilliant flash of blue and the sword was buried almost to the hilt in his chest cavity. Realizing it had disintegrated both of his hearts, leaving him seconds to act, he cocked one arm back. Surprise or what passed for it in the aliens species flashed across it face before it realized it had five energized claws buried fully in its chest. Both combatants looked at each other before they both collapsed. The other four Terminators moved there dead Battle-Bother and the alien to the side of the hallway. Looking inside both doors the sergeant of the squad voxed back to Jonathan "Hallway clear you can move up now." "Good hold position until the rest of the company gets there." He was about to send the rest of the squad forward, when he heard Chapter Master Mark's voice "Brother-Captain Jonathan can you hear me?" "Loud and clear Lord." Jonathan replied. "Good have you secured the enemy ships reactor?" Mark asked. "Yes I have, do you have a plan in mind?" Jonathan said. "Yes and this is how it works…"
Fifteen minutes later Mark stood with Jonathan on the of Harbinger of Dawn's bridge; Both of them were watching the main view screen as the Brilliant Dawn's reactor and the aliens ships went critical, turning both of the ships into subatomic ash in space. "Well now shall we greet our new friends?" Mark asked. "Who might they be sir?" Jonathan said. "Them" Mark said pointing to the bridge's main view screen. On it there was a small rectangular ship hovering darkly at the edge of the asteroids. "I suppose sir, but if you will excuse me I've got to make sure the Fifth is squared away." Jonathan said, turning around and exiting off the bridge. "Helm, get us under way toward the asteroids cruising speed." Mark said to the serf at the controls of the Harbinger of Dawn's thrusters. "Right away Lord" the serf said. "Now Vox Master open a channel to that ship" Mark said. Turning to Rafael, Mark said "Now they are human right?" "Yes I am positive of it they are all human and none of them are tainted either." Rafael replied. "very well then" Mark said. "vox channel open you are free to speak Lord." the serf in charge of vox communications said. "Very good, let's get on with this" Mark said.
