  A rare feeling, chosen to be experienced given the last few weeks. Satisfaction with a deployment as his Triaros advances on the unaware Word Bearers legionaries the theater opens up with a flash salvo of volkite rays from a skyhunter asset. Satisfaction. The vehicle auspex records for later review while a squad of tactical astarties are vaporised, shot and eradicated in the opening seconds.
  As fast as it comes, the feeling leaves again and Kane is forced to re-assess the situation. A legionary, festooned in sigils and fetishs cries out something and Castellax maniple Ixi-B9 registers immediate contact with a strong adversary before a pair of sudden detonations declare the demise of two of their number. Striding out of his conveyor to observe directly, the hostile astarties have rallied with impressive speed and begun to retaliate with corrupted plasma while a contemptor class and a leviathan class dreadnought advance in the center of the zone.
  Losses mounting in the Adsecularis covenants shipped into the radiation saturated zone are dismissed with clinical indifference. His sights are set on an object of strategic significance his latest astarties thralls are fighting a new varient of anomylous entities over. Diverting his attention with a binaric chirp of irritation he readies his weapons systems as a contemptor opens fire at him, evoking his immediate attention and disdane as all local units capable of processing the order are compelled to return fire on the impetuous machine while it suffers an overheat of its own plasma weaponry.
  With the window of opportunity closing, and having lost two Triaros to a sortie of terminators a fall-back imperative is issued. Both forces bloodied and seeking refuge from the growing hazards of an incoming rad storm. +++ Attention adjudicant. Unable to achieve complete objective success however hostile forces have been severely hampered and will need time to properly replenish and resupply. Strike force on return vector. +++
  "Magos, for your attention. Our units were able to salvage some new samples for advanced augmetic installation and combat analysis. New genetic liniage confirmed and samples are untainted" "Better than projections indicated. The Omnissiah grants us favourable luck today. Message the refractory and prepare the madicae chambers, we have work to do." Lost to his thought and anticipation of hoping to understand some of the genetic mysteries poured into his gene-hanced specimens, Kane contemplates the outrage his allies might express if they knew the full extent of his research.
