Vox for Tau Fire-Caste Command from Lorinos system:
Lorinos System under attack from forces of the Warp. Local guard details holding. Approximate length of battle, 3 weeks.
Unacceptable, warp forces cannot be allowed to spend that amount of time on our planet.
Vox for Fire-Caste Command from Imperium cruiser Inferno.
"We have received a distress call from a Space Marine, trapped on planet Lorinos IV, as stipulated in the Damocles-treaty, we have the right to answer any and all distress calls from imperium frequencies, so long as prior warning is given, and the mission is performed by a single vessel of cruiser, or smaller, class. Our ship will arrive within the hour."
"Confirmed, Inferno. Be warned, Warp-fiends are currently attacking Lorinos IV."
"With your permission, we should like to deploy a small number of troops to deal with them. It is our solumn duty to wipe them from the face of the galaxy in the Emperor's name."
"Standby..."
The Communications officer got up and ran to the commander. "Commander, we have a dire situation in the Damocles Gulf, the forces of Chaos are besieging the planet." he said with a salute.
"Report." replied the commander.
"Defense forces are holding, estimating 8% casualties to defense force at the moment, although that is steadily rising." he said. "Co-incidentally, the Imperium claim that they have received a distress call from the planet, as stated by the Damocles treaty, they do have the right to investigate it, if prior warning is given. They have asked permission to deploy forces to the planet to repel the invaders."
"What?" asked the Commander. "Why would they be in such a hurry to defend us?"
"Sir, the forces of chaos ARE the Imperiums most hated of enemies." replied the comms officer.
"True... Give them permission to send 7 squads and light armour, no heavy units. And tell the troops to remain vigilant, if the Imperium shows sign of betrayal, tell them they have permission to open fire." he replied.
"Very good, commander." he replied before running back to his desk.
"Permission granted to deploy 7 squads of troops and light armour."
"Confirmed.

Aboard the Inferno, Viqtor sighed as he finished the vox communication and then sent a ship-wide vox. "Combat units, form in the main hangar." all of the ships vox-casters blared out. He then headed for the hangar, his two giant servitors following.

Lorinos IV:
The walls of the fair city were a shambles, They had fought off the odd Chaos Cult, but nothing of this magnitude, it was as though the Warp itself was attempting to claw its way into this world. The only thing piercing the Red mist of chaos was the blue bolts from the Plasma Rifles of those who fought for the Greater Good. "FIGHT FOR ALL YOU'RE WORTH!!!" yelled the voice of a Crisis suit, standing on one of the ancient walls, its Plasma Rifle pounding away at the hordes of Chaos. Noticing a Blood-letter making it over the walls, the suit floated upwards and over to it, before cutting power to the jet-pack and falling, the bloodletters head now looking like an orange that had been run over by a speeding train.
"They're climbing the walls!!! Keep them out! We WILL defend this city for the... GREATER GOOD!!!" yelled the pilot over the speakers. Every time she said that, She wanted to kill herself just a little bit more. The only thing that stopped her from pulling that trigger every night as she was alone in the bathroom, sucking on the end of her pistol, was the thought that every Chaos cultist, Ork, and the occasional Eldar, she killed was a service to the Immortal god. Small bullets and las-rifle shots pinging off her armour. "Alright, Stealth-Squads open fire!!!" she yelled.
Across the battle-field, stealth-suits appeared at strategic locations, spraying blue plasma rounds into the croud. Chaos fiends falling, although, those in the middle of the crowd were quickly being over-run, though before their blades could get close enough to cut them to pieces, their Jump packs launched them to safety, as soon as they were airborne, they disappeared from sight, in a flash of blue. Leaving the surrounding chaos forces rather confused, and open to fire from the long Plasma Rifles and the powerful guns of the XV88 Broadside suits, cutting great lines in the tide of corruption. 'Emperor, help us...' she thought. Several of her fellow Gue'Vesa fell. 'May the Emperor have mercy upon your soul.' she thought, before being forced back a few steps, almost falling over, as a Chaos Terminator teleported next to her.
They seemed to react to each other at the same moment, the Terminator firing at her with its Storm Bolter. Her jet-pack shooting her upwards as her Missile-pods fired off at it. Time seemed to slow down to snails pace, both of the realizing that in 2 seconds time, one of them would be dead. Several bullets lodged themselves in her front armour, forcing her off-course. The missiles, however smashed into the Terminator, blowing the armour wide open. raising her rifle, she pulled the trigger and a well placed plasma rifle shot was swallowed by his open armour, his face realizede that he was the dead one, shortly before his face was engulfed by a short burst of blue flames, then a belch of smoke. It was then that the Terminator fell to the ground and times flow returned to normal. The Crisis Suit flew backwards, her flight path forcibly altered by the Storm-bolters shots, Luckily for her, she managed to correct the path enough to land on her feet, however, off of the wall and away from the fighting, looking up, she saw the exchange of fire... It was sort of beautiful, the dance of blue and red across the skies.
"COMMANDER ERENAS!!! MA'AM, PLEASE REPORT!!!" screamed a confused guardsman over her vox channel.
"I'm here. He knocked me offcourse, that's all." she replied.
"MA'AM, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!!" replied the voxer.
"Just keep fighting... So long as you fight for... The greater good... Our victory is assured."
"Y..." he swallowed hard. "YES MA'AM!!!" She then lowered her head as the caster played the unmistakable sound of bolter-rounds cutting the voxer to pieces.
"Dammit..." she muttered.
