A/N: Disclaimer I do not own Warhammer 40k

I have got a few reviews from experienced writers and a few personal friends as well as a few other PMs and such and based upon that I went back and looked over the story and redid the first chapter of the story a little and I hope I made it work the right way this time.

Also my beta reader is AlwaysBetOnVoid he gets a little busy with his own stories and that is why it takes so long for updates.

Also friendly reminder all thoughts comments and otherwise made by Reven are in italic

Thanks to all of you out there for reading the story.

Reven

We finally made it to the clearing and got aboard the Valkyrie to head back to the base camp. It was a rather quiet ride to the base as no one could hear the other talking above the roar of the engines and I was rather interested in watching the ground go by.

A little while later we finally landed at the base and disembark from the Valkyrie.

I proceeded to scream, "THAT WAS AWESOME!"

This drew a large number of looks from the landing zones crew as no one had seen anyone on the ship that was my age and many looked confused as to where I had come from.

I hear Gideon laughing behind me as he says, "Enjoy your first ride in the Valkyrie there Reven?"

"Yes very much. It was awesome but it seems my excitement drew some attention from the ground crew ah well...it can't be helped now can it?" I replied, looking out across the base.

"No I suppose it can't. Well then, let's get you to the commander's office...Hey Samuel, are you coming?" asked Gideon to his friend off to his right.

Samuel replied "No, I have some work I need to take care of back at the lab immediately."

Then I noticed that there was a rather well dressed man and nurse with some form of medical scanner with her approaching us well as two armed guards wearing armor and holding weapons like Gideon's accompanied them.

I asked warily, "Hey Gideon who are they and what do they want?"

Gideon looks at them quickly and then settles into a relaxed stance and salutes them while saying, "That well dressed man is the base commander the young woman is the bases' head nurse and those two men are soldiers under my command."

Soon enough they are in front of us and the dressed up man salutes Gideon which causes him to relax.

He then looks at me and says, "Hello there. You are the boy known as Reven correct? I am the Governor-Militant of this planet. My name is Azien Leandros and I am sure you know Kasakrin Sergeant Gideon Stevenson as well as Doctor Samuel Alexander. This lovely lady here is Miss Alana Dectrova the bases head nurse; she will be overseeing you medical exams."

"Well...a pleasure to meet you sir but as you can see I am in horrible need of this uh shower and some hot food and my new companion probably are as well. So if we could talk while on our way to the mess hall I would be much obliged." I said to the Governor-Militant, lifting my chin up and taking a proud stance.

The Governor-Militant replied, "Ah okay well how about this...you go with Ms. Alana and she will get you to a shower and then after some basic scans to make sure you are healthy. She will take you to the mess hall and get you some food when you are finished."

"Thank you." I nodded to the Governor before turning to the nurse, "Well then Ms. Alana, let's be off so I can get myself a shower and some grub."

A few hours later I finally made it to the mess hall after those tests and the doctor said I had a clean bill of health. However, she found some irregularities in my system and that after I finished I was to return to the med bay as she wanted a to do a deep scan on my body to see what was causing it. I was not to eat too much as it might cause problems with the scan because it might through off the readings and that was the last thing I needed.

So here I am in the mess hall after getting my tray of food, I walked over to where Gideon's squad was sitting and went to set down when a rather buff looking man yelled from directly across the table, "Just who the hell are you that you think you can waltz up to are table and sit down huh?"

I replied with no hesitation, "I happen to be the man that your sergeant rescued earlier and I was invited to sit here by said sergeant. So would you mind telling me who you are?"

He then stands up and starts yelling even louder, "Are you trying to insult me, my squad, and are sergeant? Or do you just have a death wish you little punk? If you keep this up I will have to put you in your place."

I remain calm, "I meant no disrespect to anyone. I was simply telling you that you sergeant rescued me and invited me to sit here with you fine men today."

"Alright boy now you're just making fun of me. No way in the warp did our sergeant invite you to sit here so are you ready for your beating you little punk?" He asked while cracking his knuckles and beginning to move around the table towards me.

I sigh, "Well I tried diplomacy and that didn't work guess I will have to defend myself." as I put my plate down and began cracking my neck while assuming a fighting stance.

Suddenly a voice rang out from the other side of the mess hall, "Damn it Brick what do you think you're doing?! I invited the young man to sit with us today as he was just rescued from out in the jungle and believed to be the survivor of that pod we found!" says the now visible Gideon from the mess hall's entrance?

Brick then replied somewhat hesitantly while looking ashamed, "Well then kid I guess I owe you an apology. Let's try this again..." he said as he took a breath, "Nice to meet you, my name is Arranger but the squad calls me Brick due to my size and build."

"Nice to meet you Brick, I am Reven." I say offering a hand to the man which he quickly grasped and shook, "Hey maybe me and you can spar sometime soon to see who is the better of us...in a friendly way of course." I smiled.

He replied with a sinister laugh and said, "Sure why not? How about tomorrow out in the field during lunch. All the boys can come watch you get your ass kicked."

"Huh...we'll see about that. Now...I need to head back to the med bay for my final scans." I say to the men sitting around the table after finishing my meal, I bowed my head to them and got up from the table. I walked back to the med bay on the other side of the base and when I entered Ms. Alana was waiting for me.

She greeted me, "Hello Reven. Back so soon? I figured you would sit and talk for a while after eating." she folded her arms.

"Yeah well my health comes first ma'am. Wouldn't do for me to get rescued just to die to an infection now would it?" I reply to her, "Now where do I need to go for this scan?"

She then pointed to a machine in the corner and says "Right over there in that pod just lay down in it and...Relax."

"Alright then." I said but not before fidgeting for a moment as I stared at the pod.

Gideon

After breaking up the shouting match, I sat down to eat and talk to the squad. Afterwards, I decided to go to the med bay to check on Reven and the nurse and see how the tests were going. I also wanted to check and see what the odd readings where earlier that Alana had mentioned earlier when I had dropped in and Reven was not there.

When I reached the med bay I was surprised to see the good Ms. Alana staring intensely at the auspex screen and writing something down on some parchment.

I asked "Hey doc, what's up with Reven?"

"Well during my scans I found some interesting things throughout his body that resemble the implants most Space Marines receive during the initial training. The information courtesy of rather classified communications I might add...here, read the auspex." She said.

I took the auspex and read it as she continued, "I got the reports on their straight from Segmentum Obscures Command. They said they themselves got the information from a nearby Ultramarines strike cruiser called Garra de Macragge after showing them the data I found in the scans of the boy."

I brought up the interface to look at and began reading a list of odd organs and implants throughout his body on that list was the implants and a small description of each.

Secondary Heart

Phase 1: This simplest and most self-sufficient of implants allows a Space Marine to survive his other heart being damaged or destroyed, and to survive in low oxygen environments. Not just a back-up, the secondary heart can boost the blood-flow through the Marine's body.

Ossmodula

Phase 2: A small, complex, tubular organ, the ossmodula secretes hormones that both affect the ossification of the skeleton and encourages the forming bone growths to absorb ceramic-based chemicals that are laced into the Marine's diet. This drastically alters the way a Space Marine's bones grow and develop. Two years after this implant is first put in the subject's long bones will have increased in size and strength (along with most other bones), and the rib cage will have been fused into a solid mass of bulletproof, interlocking plates.

Biscopea

Phase 3: This small, circular organ is inserted into the chest cavity and releases hormones that vastly increase muscle growth throughout the marine's body. It also serves to form the hormonal basis for many of the later implants.

Haemastamen

Phase 4: Implanted into the main circulatory system, this tiny implant not only increases the hemoglobin content of the subject's blood, making it more efficient at carrying oxygen around the body and making the subject's blood a bright red, it also serves to monitor and control the actions of the phase 2 and phase 3 implants.

Larraman's Organ

Phase 5: A liver-shaped organ about the size of a golf-ball, this implant is placed within the chest cavity and connected to the circulatory system. It generates and controls 'Larraman cells' which are released into the blood stream if the recipient is wounded. They attach themselves to leucocytes in the blood and are carried to the site of the wound, where upon contact with air they form a near instant patch of scar tissue, sealing any wounds the Space Marine may suffer.

Catalepsean Node

Phase 6: Implanted into the back of the brain, this pea-sized organ influences the circadian rhythms of sleep and the body's response to sleep deprivation. If deprived of sleep, the catalepsean node cuts in. The node allows a Marine to sleep and remain awake at the same time by switching off areas of his brain sequentially. This process cannot replace sleep entirely, but increases the Marines survivability by allowing perception of the environment while resting. This means that a Space Marine needs no more than 4 hours of sleep a day, and can potentially go for 2 weeks without any sleep at all.

Preomnor

Phase 7: This is essentially a pre-stomach that can neutralize otherwise poisonous or indigestible foods. No actual digestion takes place in the preomnor, as it acts as a decontamination chamber placed before the natural stomach in the body's system and can be isolated from the rest of the digestive tract in order to contain particularly troublesome intake.

Omophagea

Phase 8: Not found in scanned host.

Multi-lung

Phase 9: This additional lung activates when a Space Marine needs to breathe in low-oxygen or poisoned atmospheres, and even water. The natural lungs are closed off by a sphincter muscle associated with the multi-lung and the implanted organ takes over breathing operations. It has highly efficient toxin dispersal systems.

Occulobe

Phase 10: This implant sits at the base of the brain, and provides hormonal and genetic stimuli which enable a Marine's eyes to respond to optic-therapy. This in turn allows the Apothecaries to make adjustments to the growth patterns of the eye and the light-receptive retinal cells - the result being that Space Marines have far superior vision to normal humans, and can see in low-light conditions almost as well as in daylight.

Lyman's Ear

Phase 11: Not only does this implant make a Space Marine immune from dizziness or motion sickness but also allows Space Marines to consciously filter out and enhance certain sounds. The Lyman's Ear completely replaces a Marine's original ear. It is externally indistinguishable from a normal human ear.

Sus-an Membrane

Phase 12: Initially implanted above the brain, this membrane eventually merges with the recipient's entire brain. Ineffective without follow-up chemical therapy and training, but with sufficient training a Space Marine can use this implant to enter a state of suspended animation, consciously or as an automatic reaction to extreme trauma, keeping the Marine alive for years, even if he has suffered otherwise mortal wounds. Only the appropriate chemical therapy or auto-suggestion can revive a Marine from this state.

Melanchromic Organ

Phase 13: This implant controls the amount of melanin in a Marine's skin. Exposure to high levels of sunlight will result in the Marine's skin darkening to compensate. It also protects the Marine from other forms of radiation.

Oolitic Kidney

Phase 14: In conjunction with the secondary heart this implant allows a Space Marine to filter his blood very quickly, rendering him immune to most poisons. This action comes at a price, however, as this emergency detoxification usually renders the Marine unconscious while his blood is circulated at high speed. The organ's everyday function is to monitor the entire circulatory system and allow other organs to function effectively.

Neuroglottis

Phase 15: This enhances a Space Marine's sense of taste to such a high degree that he can identify many common chemicals by taste alone. A Marine can even track down his target by taste.

Mucranoid

Phase 16: This implant allows a Space Marine to sweat a substance that coats the skin and offers resistance to extreme heat and cold and can even provide some protection for the marine in a vacuum. This can only be activated by outside treatment, and is common when Space Marines are expected to be fighting in vacuum.

Betcher's Gland

Phase 17: Not found in scanned host

Progenoids

Phase 18: There are two of these glands, one situated in the neck and the other within the chest cavity. These glands are vitally important and represent the future of the Chapter, as the only way new gene-seed can be produced is by reproducing it within the bodies of the Marines themselves. This is the implant's only purpose. The glands absorb genetic material from the other implanted organs. When they have matured each gland will have developed a single gene-seed corresponding to each of the zygotes which have been implanted into the Marine.

These take time (5 years in the first case, 10 in the latter) to mature into gene-seed. The gene-seed can then be extracted and used to create more Space Marines.

Anomaly detected in gene-seed reading need further scans

Black Carapace

Phase 19: The most distinctive implant, it resembles a film of black plastic that is implanted directly beneath the skin of the Marine's torso in sheets. It hardens on the outside and sends invasive neural bundles into the Marine's body. After the organ has matured the recipient is then fitted with neural sensors and interface points cut into the carapace's surface. This allows a Space Marine to interface directly with his Power Armor

"Yes and Segmentum Command said that the strike cruiser was changing course to here to let their apothecaries look at him due to the unique nature of the implants so we can expect them any time within three days time." said the nurse, not sure whether to be excited or wary at the presence of Adeptus Astartes.

"Well hell...what has the kid got himself into now?" I said, scratching my head.

Okay all I found the augmentation list on a site called The Lexicannum done on the regular astartes so I think it is done in the primarchs. Also thank for thoughts who read this story and like it as well as review and offer advice and I hope to continue the next chapter of the story soon.

There will be a time skip to after the space marines land and the apothecaries look at him so as to not go through the medical mumbo jumbo again and save some time

Hiatus notice

As my beta pointed out there are several problems with my writing style so I will be postponing the story for a while as I work on this so I hope that you guy will stick around for a while and wait for me to return which I hope will not take to long so till next time all have fun and enjoy life.
