It only took Markus a moment to realize that the room was empty, and immediately he was on guard again, sword held warily, prepared for an ambush. And sure enough, he heard the words 'Warp Spiders' and hit the deck immediately, diving towards the wall to avoid the unstoppable hail of monofilaments that the Eldar warriors fired. "Goddamn cowards," the stormtrooper muttered under his breath as he approached the door in a crawl, the energy field around his power sword turned off so he could grasp it halfway along the blade as he made his way to crouch a couple feet away from the open doorway.<br/><br/>Taking the sword in both hands, reactivating the energy field, he watched as yet another one of his new squadmates was torn apart by minute threads that slipped between the molecules of his body and sliced him into mush. "Sir!" Markus called out to his commander, "get the man away from the door! We need to draw them into a firing zone where we can pick them off in smaller numbers and concentrate our fire!"
