++ HIVE TARTARUS - ARMAGEDDON SECUNDUS - ARMAGEDDON ++
0I/AR/VL: -0127
Hive Tartarus roars with the sounds of Ork and metal. The never ending xenos tide has overrun the hive, and its factories are being used to erect monstrous effigies of their false prophets. Left to fend for themselves, the remaining human forces are but microbial clusters in this fungi-ridden hellscape. We will not abandon the hivr. The green skins will be destroyed.
Deep within Ork territory, in a dark, emperor-forsaken place, chaos' taint can be found. Heretics have turned to the dark forces in search for salvation. They opened a gateway to the warp, and heretic astartes are rumoured to have a presence in the hive. They reek with sorcerous powers, they threaten to spread their taint across Amrageddon.
Our mission is simple.
Destroy the witch
++ NO PITY. NO REMORSE. NO FEAR. ++
0000 - We found the bulk of the heretics deep in the ruins of Hive Tartarus, led by veteran astartes, brothers who once fought for the god emperor, and a dark apostle, the masses of cultists conducted a tainted ritual. We approached cautiously for we were outnumbered.
0010 - We could see the ritual but we could not prevent it. Our approach was held off by the presence of a vindicator siege tank. No doubt once destined for the sons of Dorn, this mighty tank had been looted with no more decorum than the orks. Hideously ordained with the mark of the god of pestilence, the tank prevented us taking the cultists head on. We pushed through the crumbled alleyways of this ruined sector.
0023 - Word Bearers! Their armour twisted from long years in the warp, they were hardly recognisable as former space marines. They charged us from multiple angles, but Brother Litticus fought them well from within his dreadnought. Blood was spilled from both sides, more from theirs, but the ritual continued, disturbed by our efforts.
0035 - I led the charge to the siege tank, tearing it asunder with precision and our powered blades. We reclaimed the centre where the ritual took place, but it appeared we were too late. Whatever dark acts were being committed had been completed, and the Dark Apostle got away.
Chaos has a foothold in Hive Tartarus. The plans to abandon the hive to the orks could not have been more wrong. We will fight both xenos and heretic alight, and liberate the hive in the name of the emperor.
