Once again, High Command seemed to have no clue what the hell they were doing, thought Caius as he marched with the Cadian 88th alongside their Chimeras. Turning to face another soldier, he asked "So, do you think any of the other regiments will have made it to the Cathedral by the time we get there?" The man looked back at him and said "I doubt there are any other regiments left in the first wave. If there's even a single guardsman from another group at the damn thing, I'll give you my last lho-stick." Continuing the march, Caius managed to mooch half a bottle of Amasec in exchange for maxing out the power on someone's lasgun, much to the chagrin of the Machine Spirit. "Now, it's not my fault if the thing blows up in your face." He explained as he worked. "Yeah, yeah. I'm just trying to actually injure the damn greenskins." Caius handed him back the lasgun with a sigh. "Just...try to keep yourself alive." He said as he turned away, sipping at the alcoholic drink carefully. As he walked among the regiment, he also managed to scrounge up some food, though it was mainly made up of a corpse-starch ration. He devoured it quickly, having not eaten anything since before the initial charge hours ago. Downing a large gulp of Amasec to force down the sickening ration, he sighed and wiped his chin, resealing the bottle and stowing it away for later. As he continued, he noticed a shiny gleam through the rubble of what appeared to be an old house. He approached it, and saw a golden aquila neck charm, hanging off a metal rod. He snatched it up and looked it over. It appeared undamaged, and he chose to clasp it around his neck, running his thumb over it as he whispered a quick prayer to the God-Emperor, asking Him to watch over his regiment and the others that still live. He did so as he marched, just in time to catch up to where the majority of the 3003rd waited, and for the Cadian 88th's Vox-casters to pick up the 3003rd's message to any forces stationed in the Cathedral up ahead.
