You are a member of a penal regiment

And?

Located in the Malek Sub-sector.

Osmarek in the Enorme system.

Is a quaint little planet, a bit bigger than all mighty Holy Terra and home to two moons and a rather large private station, the planet is your destination. In the same system, on the outer edges, lies a local navy base - this navy base recently sent a distress beacon. Resources stretched, the chaff of regiments in the sector has been weeded out into a singular large penal legion and penal planets are being emptied, anyone for even the smallest infractions in many cases finds themselves drafted.

A desperate force sent to try to contain (and most likely fail in all honesty, but at least slow down) what is clearly a foreign incursion by unconfirmed chaos forces.

You come out of the warp and days later to find yourself landing. You are herded on out of the cargo bays and onto a young hiveworld. Hive Bismarck stands before you.

And amongst thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, maybe even many more, you stare down at innumerable edifices, fortifications and sigils to dark gods.

You’re here far too late for this to be quick and easy.

>>Form up, ascertain the situation and explore the hive before you. An attack is likely inevitable and "command" is by and large commissars and disgraced commanders.

It's a truly glorious mustache and the squad of, fairly inbred looking men and only faintly, perhaps even fuckable woman tow behind you, they mostly carry auto-guns unlike your esteemed self.

But, heading a bit further downhill, away from about everyone and towards what could obstensibly be called a frontline, stub-fire grows greater, screams cry out and all around, the somewhat ruined imperial outpost and the haphazard aegis lines and trenches, the faffing about of people clearly panicking and the fact that almost no one even seems to carry a las-gun doesn't exactly bare well.

>What is this man, with his magnificent stauch going to do about it, at the back of the line?

>>4022468
Crimes innumerable, terrible and all around, probably deserving of actually being here, the sneezing on a priest was just the icing on the cake.

>Roll 1d100 for finding some moron who actually looks in control, you know she exists, your pretty sure it's a she. She is a commissar most likely, so indeed you should be prepared to die!

>>4022482
A proud people, a man waylaid by something truly bullshit, 2nd lieutenant Sergei is a good man and undoubtedly, shows the Imperiums true assholery to it's best and brightest.

The stone ground before you is cold, it's a tepid 27 degrees out and you can see bits of vegetation even growing in between cracks, hear faint bits of water flowing, this ball of rock is nothing to Vostroya.

>What you going to do bigman?

>Roll 1d100 for finding the commander.

It's a commisar, blond haired blue eye'd, carrying a bolter and a...power axe? Either way, huddled up against a plasteel wall of the entrance to the hive, buried into the rock-face, she's talking things over with what looks like an extremely ugly man.

He strikes you as Milita or there pdf is just the worst. A toned arm gestures towards you as you come closer and a weapon is idly fingered.

>"What do you want?"

You stand spick and span behind an aegis line, the firing seems to grow a bit more sporadic, perhaps the assault is letting up for now, the thick smoke coming from further ahead, down at the base of the mountain obscures any hope of knowing for sure without Vox or some kind of signal.

>>4022574
You mess with the Vox with a bit of a coughing fit, but your fiddling does manage to find several things.

>A strange music station, it hurts your head a little, sensual in style.
>The Garbled screams from what must be the planets Pdf is a constant on another channel, with some discussions about how the enemy was supposedly vast, swift and had a perchance for slicing up it's enemy's.
>Some kind of warning about a parasitic beast native to the planet infesting people and using corpses and injured guardsmen to breed?

>It's your choice which to listen to, to find out more.

>>4022580
You hear it, it's a kinda deep rush of water, something like a tunnel, you can faintly hear people, perhaps a sewer system out of the hive, the treads of servitors and mechanical clinks and shrieks and squeals of some Tech-priests that don't appear to be very brave.

>>4022560
Your feet take you down the hill, rocky crags tearing at your clothing, an incline horrifically steep, you lose your footing, it feels like something tripped you, but your tumbling down the rocky mountain either way.

The fall is unpleasant, cutting open your skin, bruising your face and all around leaving you winded.

You land on your ankle, your about midway down, on some sort of ledge, a cave's in front of you, while down below, a small campfire blooms.

They look human, they have las-gun's, no one you recognize. It'd be a climb, but the faint allure of a stream clearly flowing along, having long dug into the stone that is pockmarked and indented looks much more safe a place then entering the cave, but who knows.

The cave could be a resupply base, could lead into the hive, could just be a wild animals home.

>>What do you do?

>>4022654
Tuning into the creatures in many ways makes you wish you hadn't, listening to about four or so minutes of footage gets you the following facts.

>They are Quadrupeds. rather large, about as large as a motorcycle or small car. Possess razor sharp claws, that have demonstratedly harmed several vehicles and seemingly are rather resistant to standard ammunition.

Combine with a penchant for laying it's eggs inside someone's ribcage, as well as apparently having tendrils of some sort able to travel through solid stone and it's fairly obvious this is a warp tainted beast species.

>>4022661

>The sky above you is a turgid color, softly shifting for a mere moment it grows a darker red color, the faint outline of something in the distance, far beyond the atmosphere almost writhing is obvious.

The storm passes, things quiet, screaming lessens, for those who even could percieve that some people were indeed screaming.

And people have begun to fire, at lithe deformed creatures, wielding cruel blades, defaced with the symbols of the dark gods, pink and green are the main colors, a meangrie of vomit and elegance, combined with spindly almost human like, unnaturally tall figures.

In the back, a sharp *Crack* is resounding from enemy lines as they fire, what appear to be heavily ornamented technology.

Their forms are mutated, differwnt and varied, though they all seem strangely beautiful for one odd reason or another.

PRAISE THE EMPEROR.

Autogun bullets ripple around your foes, but your las-gun strikes true, shearing off an approaching Xeno's arm.

It's made it rather angry, almost leaping towards you.

>You are in Melee combat with Crone World Eldar, prove your valor.

>>4022834
Pvt. Sharp perhaps was blessed by the emperor and his own uncertainty about where to run. Making a commisar undoubtedly shed tears of joy, Pvt. Sharp truly having the biggest balls around, charges skinless, lavender skinned freaks and his wild screaming disorients and confuses them for a few moments for him to wildly beat them to death with the butt of his gun.

A shout echoes across the battlefield.

>"CHARGE MEN! CORPORAL SHARP LEADS THE WAY!

>You've just been promoted.

>>4022839
Perhaps your cyberdong was just too hard and too glorious for everyone, screaming binary, your machine spirits roar in joy and your autogun absolutely eviscerates a nearby cliff-face that some filthy xenos were climbing to ambush you.

Sadly no Xenos were harmed.

>>4022855
You fire, a las gun bolt piercing the head of what looks like some sort of human slave being forced forward.

He falls to the ground rather crispy and dead.

>>4022851
A nearby charging penal legionare takes multiple heavy stubber bolts to his chest by charging into the crossfire.

He was a rapist anyway.

>>4022841
You hit one, it appears to be screeching at you in some incomprehensible tongue.

>>4022868
An imperial aegis line's fragments smatter and implant in a traitor or two, as they come charging the lines, your not the best shot, but they appear to be at least sometimes hitting!

>>ALL except for one below it.

The enemy have crashed upon your lines, countless milita men find themselves being ripped apart alive, the screaming of people being turned to dust is quite alive in the air and now?

You've all been ordered to charge.

There are at least fifteen or thirty, no maybe sixty with a lot of humans....but their are a lot of you.

>AVE IMPERATOR!

>>4022873
Not today.

Your whip grasps onto a piece of errant metal as you plummet, the smell of sewage, of excrement and the sounds of screaming is obvious, your own.

As you fling yourself, rolling and bouncing onto your feet into a tunnel, flowing with water, several techpriests are staring at you.

Well it appears you've got someone to help, as after a few moments?

>"Come on Meat, we must clear these tunnels for the Omnissiah, before they are inflitrated.

A monotone voice, a disdain but faint awe perhaps obvious, you have a job to do.

Private Van Kleez pulls forth his hotshot Las-pistol, burning it's way through an advancing xeno attempting to slip past the lines.

It collapses after a few moments, screeching, they seem rather emaciated creatures, fragments of any vitality they once had.

>>4022897
Click, Click.

>You must perform the sacred litany of reloading young tech-priest.

>>4022898
((I will be kind))

The las-gun slams the servitore in the head, leaving a circular shaped hole. Before you continue on forward, it leads downward's, the scent of the hive, the clenching of your throat, you come out into a sewer, with a few ration packs scattered about.

Actually look good.

>>4022906
Cpl. Sharp, truly the bravest warrior the Imperium has ever known. Dodges and weaves past confused enemy's and past equally confused militia into a nook, the side of a cliff-face and finds himself overlooking the battlefield.

Behind enemy lines, He stares at a creature, long and spindly, gleaming with some sort of energy, it's jaw dislocated, an excitable murmur of sorts as it almost casually directs the flow of the battle.

He has a good shot and that Eldar happened to roll a 1, before he gets a chance to fire, a las-gun strike, perhaps multiple hit its form.

>>4022907
The bipod breaks and the gun trembles, as you move forth, firing inaccurately and mowing down countless acquaintances and fellow penal legion members.

Thankfully no one important.

>>4022914
Rushing across the battlefield, he finds himself being one thing.

Sliced at and stabbed, in the side, perhaps by fellow bayonets, perhaps by the flick of an enemy, but its chaotic, it's a mess and your not sure what your hitting in this tide of body's anymore.

>>4022948
Corpses pile around you, mainly people screaming incomprehensibly to watch your fire, but nonetheless you feel accomplished and despite probably not hitting anything, you feel glad.

>>4022957
>>"Good good, perhaps in time that whip of yours might find itself in a proper bionic limb, the flesh is weak, metal is strong and dismemberment is inevitable."

>>Anyone at the line,

Their is a shift in the enemy lines, countless human slaves crushed and danced upon by countless terribly maintained boots, several of these spindly ugly things lay dead, whether winged or otherwise and they are fleeing back.

The bayonet charge scatters the last of the creatures on the surface, and the survivors who are not cut down by laser and bullet scuttle back into tunnels and access vents behind enemy lines.

Soon the battlefield lies eerily quiet. The wide open road towards the hive stretches before you, culminating in 10-metre high plasteel doors which are now the only thing between the platoon and its destination.

The voxman's set crackles, and he flips the switch into loudspeaker mode. An unfamiliar voice, full of static, begins to speak:

"Malek Penal Legion, 2nd Company. This is Captain Harlech, I will be acting as your field commander until further notice. Provided my intel is accurate you should be advancing on the southwestern access to the underhive of Hive Bismarck. However, our readings indicate the heretics have severed power to the doors as a last-ditch effort to prorogue their reception of His Holy Vengeance. This leaves you with two choices: attempt to access the underhive through the sewers, or devise a method to penetrate the doors.

To this end, it has been reported that the enemy forces have been making use of a desecrated Hades Breaching Drill to assault our fortifications on the southern side of the hive. It is our estimation that a heretical encampment exists to shelter this mistreated contraption against the south wall of the hive. Provided you approach this foul settlement under cover of night, even your thrice-damned selves should be able to catch the heretics unawares and re-appropriate this Most Esteemed vehicle.

On the other hand, the sewers would likely provide the least physical opposition - however, the ancient underground networks closest to your position are labyrinthine, all mapping or blueprints long since lost. It would be critical to practice caution if this angle is approached - unforeseen adversaries may lurk in the depths, and the way to your destination will no doubt be fraught with myriad dangers.

Make your decision and report back as soon as possible. The sanctity of this Hive depends on it.

Ave Imperator."

The vox cuts out with a hiss.

You continue through the blackness for what must be a good hundred metres, before your foot hits thin air where it expected solid ground.
>roll me a 1d100, 50+ to beat

>>4035369
You follow the techpriest down the tunnel, which seems to be sloping deeper and deeper into the earth. The faint glow from the priest's eyes light your way.

Suddenly, one of the ceiling panels crashes out. The techpriest screams in binary as *something* grabs your robotic companion and begins to drag him up.

>wat do?

>>4041743
You trek back to the trenches, and after not much looking you find a large tent with a crude red cross stencilled onto a board outside.

Entering, you see rows upon rows of bedrolls, mostly occupied by guardsmen in sorry states. The stench of death lingers in the air.

One of the medics turns to you with a look of relief:
"Emperor be praised, someone who knows what they're doing. Blessed sister, could you take a look at something for us? None of the lads here have seen anything like it."

He leads you to a bedroll, swatting aside the small crowd of medics crowded around it. On it lies an unconscious man with a grievous wound in his chest - the wound appears to have turned completely black.

The medic gestures to the patient:
"Take a look in the hole and tell us what you think."

Your whip wraps around his leg and you throw all your weight into heaving against your unseen attacker. After a struggle you feel something give. With a horrible screech from above the techpriest drops to the floor, dented and sparking slightly but otherwise unharmed.

He looks at you, one of his eyepieces cracked:
"We need to leave. These sewers have been compromised."

>>4041853
The drop takes you by surprise, and you tumble over the edge.

Emperor be praised, the fall isn't far but you take it hard, landing face first in the foul muck - the wind is knocked out of you and you see stars for a second. As you lie in the dark trying to recover, you hear the sound of skittering in the darkness.

It sounds like it's getting closer.

>>4042201
You peer into the cavity, trying to avoid gagging from the stench of rot that seeps out. The wound is deep, and at the bottom you can make out something pulsating.

Looking closer, you see a mottled dark-green mass throbbing gently. However as you inspect it the surface bulges out and splits.

Something leaps out blindingly fast, launching itself straight at your face.

********

++MEANWHILE ON THE SURFACE++

From the hive, you hear the distant rumble of what sounds like artillery.

Your suspicions are confirmed as the ground mere hundreds of metres away erupts, shaking the road underfoot and sending chunks of rockcrete scything overhead.

The vox speaker crackles again and you hear a now-familiar voice:
"Malek Penal Legion, 2nd Company. The heretics have assumed control of the hive defenses. Overground travel is now unviable. Proceed to the sewers immediately. The nearest entrance is 500m to your east. The Emperor Protects."

The vox crackles silent again. To your east you can make out a huge pipe protruding from the ground, the entrance covered by a rusted grille.

You cover yourself as best you can in the surrounding 'dirt'. Suppressing a gag, you lie a still as possible as the skittering gets closer and closer, eventually stopping mere inches from you. You hear the sound of sniffing, then a pause, then more scuttling, then more sniffing.

This continues for an agonisingly long time, before eventually you hear the sound of claws on metal and a loud clank. Then silence.

You squeeze the trigger and a gout of flame spews from your weapon, completely enveloping the patient and catching the hind leg of the creature, which lets out an ear-piercing squeal. Before you can draw a proper bead on the thing, it launches itself through the wall of the tent and disappears into the dusk.

The crowd of medics turn to you, aghast:
"What in the Emperor's name WAS that thing?"

Approaching the pipe, you get a closer look at the grille covering it - it's about eight feet in diameter, constructed of thick metal bars which must have once been sturdy enough to repel any but the most intrepid intruder, but appear to have rusted to the extent that a stiff breeze may cause the entire structure too collapse. It is apparent that nobody has been here in a very, VERY long time. Beyond the grille, the pipe stretches into inky blackness, from which a foul smell wafts.

>wat do?

>I ain't moving now ...probably can't even talk basic gothic.

>Dying covered in shit was not in the imperial guard brochure either

A long toned and powerful form, a faintly hunched back and a blond haired commisar pushing along the newest member of the penal legion, an insignia for sanctioned psykers attached to the rogue by the Commisar.

Truly the sub-sector was desperate, but Holly was just happy she was alive, a long metal pole in hand, a camping pole, supposedly called a "baton". A las-pistol clipped to her belt.

An aura of faint unease, the gleam of visibly shifting eye's, a toned lightly twitching maniacly smiling giant.

>>NEW Recruit.
>Let Miss Commander in charge, Commisar blondie lead me to wherever she expects me.

continue forward with the Mechanicus agents. I have no clue where they are going other than away from here. perhaps they know best. perhaps not.

"how do we get out of here? which way?"
>>
>>4056194
I FEAR NOT THE UNKNOWN
FOLLOW ME
FORWARD
>The mighty frame of the enhanced warrior barrels through the grille and charges onward

>>4056194
Alright, a rock should be enough...
>>4056389
Or that, that'll do...you see anything there!?

>>4056194

>Wait, is the thing gone ? yes, it seems gone.
>takes a deep breathe
>instantly regrets it
>the charred corpse of my previous patient lays inert before me, a testament to my botched attempt at saving him
>My only solace is that he probably was well beyond my abilities to help anyways
>but still , i should probably say a prayer...

Holly emperor, may you take to tormented soul within your kingdom for him to know eternel rest.

>I say, meaning every words
>hopefully this proves enough to grants the dead fellow peace in the afterlife.
>the flamer suddenly feels heavy in my hand
>i put it back in the bag and look at whomever hasn't ran away yet for help.

Could anyone help me move him elsewhere ? we... we still have the others to attempt to.

>I say, hoping i won't have to administer that type of medecine again.

A shadow cast over a sisters light. The stone, perhaps metal if they'd moved further into the sewers beneath sturdy boots, the faint sound of something cracking, a long pole, tapping the ground, a tall, tall woman, kneeling next to the dear sister.

A feeling of unease, from the way her mouth curved to the faint way her eye's seem to shift in color and her hair obscures her features. The insignia of a sanctioned psyker clear as day.

An unpleasent, tight and light, wirey lisp, as they twitch. Fingers worn, running over flak, a small thud of her own arm squeezing herself and the toned frame that lay underneath.

>>"Õooooooo-ah, sis-sisstà, soome asistanccce, yesssss-yaaas-yeeeeeeésss yes~"

A genuine curled up smile of bad cavity ridden teeth, the visible sight of twitching fingers moving to try to caress and feeel at the sisters face, the little excitable bite of a lip drawing her own blood, as the psykers teeth grind side to side over her own lip.

Before that voice comes forth again.

>Hallp, froooom onë sachh, as Holly?"

>By the emperor, If i keep calling his name, he's actually going to appear ! and I doubt he'll like being stirred off his eternal watch over the imperium for one such as me.
>then again, i doubt i could be blamed
>it's the first time i have ever seen a psyker in flesh and blood before, let alone a sanctionned one
>and I instantly regret it
>fighting the urge to instinctly slide back, i decide to take refuge my faith instead for the strengh I need to deal with this bullshit
>and so i take the hand coming my way and gently push it down, before walking toward the now definitively dead guardsman
>he suddenly seems a lot more attractive than what i just had to deal with

Yes, please pick up the other side.

>look at those poor medicaes

Where can we put him? i'd like to get back to work as soon as possible.
