A new threat.
As I was reading through our new orders I came across something interesting, Just a few days ago our whole military group on the Planet Forgaris had been totaly and utterly wiped out only 3 survived to tell about it.
I personally don't see how this could of happened, Yeah it was a hostile planet but there wasn't anything there that could take em out heck the closet tyranid hive fleet was about 3 light years away. In the note from one of the officers it only said "So loud...the tremors were starting." I found that kinda weird...what would sismec activity have to do with them being wiped out.
my orders were simple take my troop along with a group of ultra marines to the planet to investigate. Oh joy more exploreing...
-Commander Oswald of the 135th black templar.
As the ship landed the UM were the first to jump out all gun ho...I thought to my self "Crazy bastards that one way to get yourselves killed in a heart beat."
Their commaniding officer was quiet and really didn't even speak to his men unless he really had to...made him seem heartless...even more than me.
We soon came to the outpost where the last group was stationed....it was quiet...and no signs of a battle...now things were really starting to seem weird.
This planet was tropical with many diffrent species of animal but from what I've seen so far nothing that could take us on and win. We all got into the outpost to relax from our little journy and to get away from the tropical heat outside.
The UM commander and I went our seprate ways and found suitable places for our HQ.
3 days had passed and nothing had happened but then something I remember in the reports accorded again.....we were experianceing these so called tremors.
Suddenly one of my troops busted the door in "Sir You need to come see this!" I got up from my chair and followed him outside to one of the look out posts. He handed me a pair of binoculars and I looked out and saw the unthinkable. Some how there was actually a Tyranid army on this planet, like none I had ever seen before. The gaunts had longer tails than usual with huge stingers on them...but that wasn't all I found the Tyrant and he was the most horrindus of them all. Yeah he was huge they always are but this one had Large wings sprouting from it's back and on the top of his head he had a set of horns he even had the same tail as the guants.....They knew we were here but oddly enough they were not attacking us, Thats when I noticed that all the gaunts and warriors were slamming their tails on the ground as hard as they could....Im guessing it was some kind of moral thing, but I now knew what that officer was speaking off in his report. He wasn't talking about sismec activity he was talking about these freaks! The ground was shakeing slightly from their little pounding efforts, I knew there would be a battle eventually but when and where I didn't know but I'll tell ya one thing... It wont be pretty...
to be continued.
