<strong>Brother Crixus, Assault Squad landing point</strong><br/><br/>As Crixus's squad made its way down the halls of the Ork vessel they found said halls to be for lack of a better term deserted. Areas which would have proven strong defensive points for the xenos were unoccupied with no signs of corpses. It was as if something had swept through the halls of the ship and simply done away with all signs of those who had been inside it before.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Boarding Torpedo Gamma's Landing point</strong><br/><br/>Roughly five seconds after torpedo gamma impacted with, and breached, the hull of the Ork ship the fragmentation charges went off. Blasting razor sharp shrapnel in every direction around the area where it's cargo would disembark. A moment later the hatch blew open allowing clear passage for the Terminator squad. "Advance on the objective" Sargent Soliarri said over the squad's closed channel. "Eliminate any resistance, but do not slow."  With that the squad's leader began down the halls in the direction of the ship's engine room without even a glance back. So sure was he of his marine's compliance.<br/><br/>As was the case with 8th squad the Terminators did not even meet light resistance on their advance, only the eerie stillness of a ship that was devoid of its crew.<br/><br/><strong>Space Marine Rendezvous Point </strong><br/><br/>As the squads dispatched to the Ork ship's engine room neared their objective and grew close enough to hear the roar of its primitive technology the sounds of a crude voxcaster could also be heard broadcasting and ork's voice.<br/><br/>"Oie, whys ain't you boyz answerin da boss?!?"<br/><br/>Followed shortly by "........Youz betta not 'ave forgotten how ta use the voice box aga'n!! Grraahh!! If I has to come down der all you boyz'ill be gettin a thump!"<br/><br/>And finally "Dats it! Come on you boyz, we's gonna go see why dey ain't answern, an' den we's gonna give each one a dem grots a good thump!"<br/><br/>The transmissions stopped after the last broadcast and no noises other than the engines could be heard until the squads had already joined one another and were practically at the entrance to the engine room. A loud grating sound could be heard as if massive gears were at work. Followed shortly by the sound of heavy feet striking the metal floor. And finally confused ork voices could be heard once the space marines were but steps away from the door<br/><br/>"We ain't found um boss"<br/>"Where'd dey go?!?!"<br/><br/><hr/><br/>This was all the opportunity that Sargent Soliarri needed. He knew that now would be the optimum time to launch their attack. Using the entire strike team's vox channel he issued his orders "On my command, Assault Marines advance and engage in close combat, while  Terminator Squad and Tactical Squads secure firing potions......Attack."<br/><br/>As the Space Marines entered the engine room the found it to be occupied by a Big Mek,  (http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/9721/78787084.png), a dozen mek boyz (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/thumb/3/3a/Mekboy_by_Mark_Gibbons.JPG/220px-Mekboy_by_Mark_Gibbons.JPG), several dozen  Gretchen (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/6/66/Grotpic.jpg) and three Ork walkers, a Deff Dread (http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4458/deffdread.jpg) with a Killa Kan to it's right (http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/056/e/6/killa_kan_gut_slasha_by_monkybutt-d3aev22.png) and another to it's left (http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/236/9/3/KillaKan_by_Trollfeetwalker.jpg). All caught in utter surprise by the appearance of the Space Marines.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
