Ch.8: Assault on Mengnar







Vulpus vibrated softly, a sharp high pitched whistle emitting from her body. Her eyes glowed green as she scoured through ancient texts for clues about the breach. Her mind spilled out deep into the machine spirits of the mighty Facility. Multiple wires and cords plugged her body into the consoles. Acolytes gathered around chanting holy rites to the omnissiah above her quivering form.

The Iron Father Stood, observing, scowling, deep in thought. This was indeed a worrying turn of events. An unexpected attack upon Mengnar, but from who? Perhaps the Orks who had blown up the pipelines? Surprisingly stealthy for the Brutish Xenos, and what would the green skins want from the data banks? Perhaps then not Xeno? Seanair had no doubts that NEGATIVE-5T4R would have had survivors, Zero-Four would be interested in what the Iron Hands had discovered. The Exorcists also came to mind, the relationship between the two had become rocky when they had requested entry into the facility, had they gone behind The Iron Hands back? This would be most troublesome. A fight amongst themselves would only make them weaker against the filthy Xeno and the disgusting heretics of this planet. Speaking of Heretics, what of the Mortenok Pandemica? They had rooted themselves deep within this planet, rotting it from the inside out. Seanair pondered if the presence if the warp entities had anything to do with them. Or perhaps the Thousand Sons? Crafty witches of deceit and guile, their ways dripping with cruel rites and forbidden powers. They were a dirty festering wound upon the galaxy that needed to be scrubbed away. Many sides to this complex war.

What ever happened next the Iron Hands knew their next move. All they needed was the assistance of their only ally on Krillion. The Omnissiah's Wrath had proven to have many uses, and if what was to be believed was true no life forms had been detected upon the ship. Clearly its secrets left untouched. Krillion was filled with many hidden surprises so what was waiting for them uncovered by the tsunami?

"Iron Father," a voice cracked with static from a nearby Tech Priest "An urgent message from above. There has been a breach."
"Another!? How are they entering undetected into the data vaults?" Seanair boomed in fury.
No sir, you misunderstand," the crackling voice continued "The breach is the outer wall."
The priest drew back his robes revealing a data slate in his chest. On the screen it showed massive towering knights marching across the snowy landscape.
"Prepare for battle! Bring the storm to Mengnar! The Pandemica will be stopped!"
