Chapter eight - of Atlas and Xenos
Magos Denli was working on the new project, that Jaune tasked him to. The battle barge was painted in yellow, with lightbringers' insignia on it. Jaune called it the "Sunrise". Jaune's legion reaches the seven hundred members, and it's enough to use battle barge. However, the "Sunrise" won't be able to enter the warp, because faunuses of lightbringers has a small presence in the warp, and they don't have navigator's mutation. Denli was working to solve the problem with communication, as they don't have astropaths. Build the vox transmitter is the one thing, understand how to upgrade one is another. The "Sunrise" has a standard vox transmitter, but it doesn't work on the long way distances. He also provide solution with servitors, as they also needed for ship's running. He was cloning himself and turns clones in servitors.
The mechanicus noticed something one week ago. It appears, that the space near Remnant system is visited by the void whales - the gargantuan creatures, that attracts unwanted attention. They are being hunted by the orks, as they taste very good, and costs a lot.
But no matter, the important task is at hand, and mechanicus proves themselves worthy.
*Solis, Remnant*
Another day. The space marines were patrolling the base, eating in the cafe, sparring with one another, pairing broken things and just chilling. Jaune Arc decided to visit someone. He picked the Mournival members, and leaved the Solis under Cardin's command. The command thunderhawk was heading to Atlas, alone. They had landed on the landing pad, and started walking to the council building, to meet the Ironwood. As they walk, they noticed the dirty glances, that people of Atlas were giving to them, but Jaune decided to ignore it. But the lightbearer decided to stomp his leg on the ground, scaring them all. As they reached their destination, they entered the Ironwood's office.
"O-oh, Good evening, what brings you here ?"
Ironwood asked with obvious fear. Jaune looked at the chaplain and motioned him to start the talking.
"James Ironwood, you are given a permission to rebuild the Atlesian military. You reclaimed your position as general of this military. However, you are restricted to perform aggressive acts against other countries, and you can't send your soldiers there without us knowing. We also giving you our exemplars of weapons and power armor in research means, but you are restricted to replicate them. You can build something yours, but not replicate. That's all, General Ironwood"
Chaplain had announced. Ironwood was shocked and happy about this. He returned his job as the General, has new technology to research, and also became the ruler of Atlas, as he is the last of Atlas council. He thanked them, and they leaved. As they walked back to the thunderhawk, Jaune pulled out his vox transmitter and said:
"Underwater, this is a Son, do you copy? Over"
The raspy voice answered:
"Son, this is Underwater, hearing you loud and clear, over"
"Execute directive number five, over"
"Acknowledged, beginning withdrawing, over"
The angler marines begins to leave the Mantle (they were there since fall of Atlas) and going underwater, to their base, called the "Depth". Jaune and Mournival members were flying back to Solis, when the transmission came.
"My lord, this is magos Denli. Do you copy ?"
"I hear you, Denli. Go on"
"We have detected a signature of incoming ork ship, ETA to entering the system - four days. In the size of the space hulk"
This is bad, really bad. If they reach the system - The Remnant will fall. But Jaune had a thought. He ordered:
"Magos, send the probe drone, I need to know who these orks are"
"Acknowledged"
If the orks are blood axes, that means they have a chance. Jaune knows about blood axes, as the fragment of the Emperor knew this. The blood axes are unique type of orks, who is copying the imperial strategy. The often works for humans, as mercenaries in rogue trader's crews. They works for imperial weapons and equipment. If the space hulk is indeed under command by blood axes...he had a plan. The probe drone will reach the destination in the day. Three days is enough to execute the plan in action.
"Chaplain, Lightbearer. You are going on "Sunrise". I will provide you with the plan of action against the orks. Pilot, land me on Solis, refuel, and lead them on the ship".
The plan is...moremoving and tricky. If Lightbringers execute the plan, the will win...without casualties.
(I'm not joking, my strategic mind will provide me with the greatest plan of all.)
